3 months? I think 3 hours is more likely given he wants to paddle 15 miles when a tsunami is coming.

It would be pretty easy to get around any product limits if needed.
Monday
Online order with Coles Online order with Woolworths Go to local Coles Go to local Woolworths Go to local ALDI Go to local IGA, etc
If you want, go back to local stores again today and take a family member who starts from the the other end and does their own trolley full.
Tuesday
Online order with Coles Online order with Woolworths Go to local Coles Go to local Woolworths Go to local ALDI Go to local IGA, etc
If you want, go back to local stores again and take a family member who starts from the the other end and does their own trolley full.
Wednesday
You see where I'm going with this. Restrictions are/were just an inconvenience for those who wanted to buy up big but certainly not a show stopper as evidenced by the number of hoarders during the year even after limits were put in place.

I think I bought the 200w from 4x4 superstore when it was on sale. I added an upgraded MPPT controller from Aussiedirect from memory. The PWM controllers are handy to have in a pinch or when on a budget but try to get a MPPT controller as they do increase performance from a panel noticeably. I've not tried rolling it and I'm pretty sure they really wouldn't like it. Folded up it takes up very little room in comparison to the old style, so much so that I don't ever worry about where or how its going to fit.
edit; my 200W is this one

I have a few, my largest is 200w.
Never had an issue with any of them yet. I was concerned about fatigue from the folding and I still think its something that will happen eventually though now I think it will take quite some time before its an issue.
They are much lighter, I think the 200w is around 6kg and folds up much smaller taking up much less space and being a soft material its easier to pack/store not having to worry about it damaging something else either.
The only downside is I don't leave them out in the rain, they can handle it but being fabric its obviously going to have the draw backs of getting wet which is a hassle that's easier to avoid, if you can.

Long range missiles are nice but I'd rather see a modern fleet of nuclear anit-sub/ship subs patrolling our waters. Mix in a couple or so with nuclear ICBM capabilities and we would have an actual deterrent to any country.

2x Weber Q BBQ's and enough gas to use them for every meal for months to come plus lots of accessories to cook differently on them. I plan on adding 3x charcoal BBQ's soon (1x PK Gril and 2x Weber) plus all the accessories. (BBQ has become my latest fad ) Gravity lights Grain Mill Manual egg beater

Lol, I started reading this from the top thinking about what I would write and then I read my post from 5 years ago and it was pretty much exactly what I was thinking just now. Given I've had 5 more years, I'm still screwed for Aliens and Monsters but Zombies, lets play

What I didn't see was groups of people roaming around with AR's and SG's and banging away. Or even banging away with pistols. That's simple, watch on youtube what happens when a black guy just walks down the street carrying an AR and doing nothing else. Now imagine what happens when a mob of black people run around the streets at night with AR's and shotguns firing off shots? Every cop in the area, all the special units as well, will be called in to shoot them on site and the people there know it.

Note the absence of private firearms. Don't kid yourself there was no absence of firearms, guaranteed a good number of them had them tucked in their pants.
Heck, see 2.02.04

This was the reason I switched to Aussie made powders and projectiles the last time this happen a while back. Fortunately I still had quite a supply of primers and enough brass to last a life time or more. Boyne bullets? Topscore HRBC Westcastings

While you may get a fine if your caught I seriously doubt anyone would ever be convicted of murder.
Think of the bus driver how can you prove beyond reasonable doubt it was the man who intentionally coughed on him that actually gave him the virus? Considering just how many people a bus driver comes in contact with each day it simply can't be proved beyond reasonable doubt one way or the other. This says nothing of any other medical issues the bus driver could have had that may also have contributed to his death.

This is interesting www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/travel/experience/america/2018/10/17/25-most-dangerous-cities-america/1669467002/2. Detroit, Michigan • 2017 Violent crime rate: 2,057 per 100,000 • 2017 Homicides: 267 • Poverty rate: 39.4% • Unemployment rate: 9.3% 1. St. Louis, Missouri • 2017 Violent crime rate: 2,082 per 100,000 • 2017 Homicides: 205 • Poverty rate: 26.7% • Unemployment rate: 4.4% Detroit may have been listed number two due to having a slightly lower crime rate (not much in it) but Detroit's overall stats are far far worse. It will probably be the city to watch.

I think its not entirely out of the question that if the virus continues out of hand over there and the crime increases we could see entire cites like Detroit, which is already a dangerous city with high crime rate high gang presence and high unemployment, being a write off where law enforcement and medical response simply don't go out.

The USA is going to be interesting to watch.
It's a powder keg and I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of it explode this time.

I'm not a fan of the old flooded type batteries, IMO they are not the best option for this type of application.
I bought a couple of Gel AGM maintenance free batteries to use in my portable setup.
Reading the specs they have a 5 year warranty and a 12 year build design/shelf life.
Being gel they can be discharged much further than standard AGM batteries with out hurting the battery giving you a lot more usable power. Plus being a "sealed" battery I don't need to worry about gassing or spillages as much if its knocked over while being transported in the car.

On a side note I'm still getting regular emails from cleavers, so are they still trading online?

I doubt it will happen, too many other things going on now to stir the pot with out a real reason.
If they did it would spread like wildfire across the country over the internet at a time when they want to keep everyone calm and indoors they would end up with a million pissed off firearms owners with nothing better to do, if everything has been shut down by then, than rally and cause trouble for them.
They don't have the numbers to contain all those firearms owners or fine/lock up everyone. The government would be seen as a huge failure at home by the people and internationally for not being able to keep everyone in home isolation and for directly causing huge protests at a time when they should have been focused on things of far greater importance.
IMO its really not the time for them to stir any group up as the group they harass has the advantage right now with just the possibility of protests alone would cause huge issues for the government in the current climate.
