3 times as fast as 100? I don’t know what you’re expecting here. It’s 83.3 metres per second, if that helps. Your friend must have a nice car, there’s not many that can go that fast, and even fewer that can do it and still handle predictably.
Australia says it would prefer to work through a dispute settlement process
Fuck that. You can’t negotiate with an unhinged imbecile who changes his mind depending on who was the last person who spoke to him. Every world leader who bows down to trump just makes him worse.
Whaaaaat? No way! Things like this normally never happen when you take a bunch of untrained morons off the street and give them police like powers.
Can’t have people keeping the truth if you’re planning to rewrite history.
Trouble is, wood has a much shorter design life and needs a lot more maintenance than concrete. Concrete bridges have a design life of 100 years, while timber will likely need significant refurbishment within 20-40, not to mention constant inspections every year with testboring at 2 year intervals (per AustRoads) and they’re often more expensive to build nowadays with the price of timber.
So yeah, they can look cool, but there are far better things to spend our money on.
The law is now whatever trump says it is.
Oh man, I really thought hegseth was a great guy before this!
Every business and country that kneels before trump just empowers him and encourages his worst impulses. They all know it, yet they keep doing it. That’s why we’re fucked. We’re in the beginning of the end of a pretty decent run of mostly civilised society.
