Too many straws in the milkshake and not enough rain. We seem to have traded resilience as a species for unfettered growth and any little blip in the weather/climate seems to have compounding effects.

The issue with cooling water for power plants seems to go unnoticed by many. During the last drought in south east USA they were curtailing output to use less water from their drying rivers.

When i see companies, individuals and politicians held accountable for this whole shitfight with China then i’ll start taking more notice of all the hullabaloo. Until then it’s BAU.

The only maths i’m interested in is counting, counting population. Soon to be 9 billion souls on this planet. All the other issues are just a side salad compared to this single issue.

The torque offered by an electric motor makes their use in farm tractors an interesting proposal.

“Just having a talk to a harvest contractor and discussing EV's. Visualizing a 20 ton header, 30 foot wide, stripping grain, towing a battery pack and a diesel generator behind it !” what like this?

Experience? Agree with frostbites comments and have had the same thing happen to me.
ideas? your idea Tim is probably the best but the practicality is a bit low as there will be 2x postage costs and mucking about.
Thoughts? unless availability increases tin cans, are the way to go. sad but true. I guess that is where dehydration takes its place here in Australia.

Peter the intent of the thread was to provide details on bulk food supplies for those that don’t or can’t grow there own and to potentially save money in times of inflation. I myself have found these details valuable as one of these outlets is relatively close to me. If you can grow and supply your own then good luck to you but i don’t see the need to scoff at what is being presented here.

Does dehydrating kill any nasties in the meat? i make jerky in a 50-60 degree oven and now come to think of it it may not be hot enough to kill parasite eggs and other nasties. I hadn’t given it a thought until you mentioned wallaby meat.

I don’t take notice of gun deaths. I’m more interested in gun related murder and even more interested in gun mishaps leading to death this improving my own safe hendling. I think you’d find if you take out suicide that those numbers would halve then the stats basically mean nothing to the ordinary person.

As a so called “prepper” i relish the chance to “fill” up my vehicle with my own “juice” aka use my solar to charge my car. I also like the idea the EV can be a back up power supply to my house, that it is quiet and less like.y to draw attention in shtf, that it will out perform 95% of its ICE competitors in terms of torque and acceleration such as tesla model 3 can do 0-100 in 3 seconds, should be much cheaper servicing. If that makes me a latte sipper then *gulp* add caramel next time please.

However i see restrictions being in place for home charging, Australia will bugger up fast charging through incompetence and risk the whole show in EVs, i don’t like all the AI “smart” crap and other flashy junk that comes with new cars and EVs will be full of it. EVs will create havoc with the grid under current circumstances. Most importantly batteries are likely to suffer from huge shortages of critical components all the way through the supply chain, call it Liebigs law of the minimum for EVs.

Why Piss all over FB for saying what he requires of an EV? The cybertruck would not be far off what he needs. In a few years he will likely be able to get what he wants. I love the green handed slapdowns that instantly appear when one dares to fault the so called green revolution. Calm down little Gretas “how dare you”.
