Body Language.
The body can tell a completely different story to what is spoken.

Could be covered under a class called life skills, teach them all you suggested. Give them the basics about a broad range of subjects from finance, credit, superannuation, job applications, insurance, property etc

Just imagine for a moment what kids could be taught ...
Finances, budgeting, tax
Driving lessons, including defensive driving, basic maintenance like changing a tyre
Household management - cooking, shopping, bill paying
You know, stuff they'll actually need for the rest of their life!

All this Smart technology, think about this.
They can switch you off in an eye blink to your electricity, your internet, your banking, your fuel supply.
Our government wants us to become reliant on Green electricity, renewables, because "It's environmentally friendly"
It's control.
Let that sink in.

General Discussion / Re: What Fridge do you use Poll.
« Last post by lloydus67 on May 30, 2024, 04:11:24 PM »After my 20+ year old 50L weaco started freezing everything regardless of temperature, I still haven’t got round looking at it to see what the fix is. So I bought a secondhand 40L coolman for $150. It lasted 8 hours into my wife’s drive from Brisbane to Emerald (Central Queensland)
So I bought a kings 50L escape compressor fridge for $220. So far it’s been in the canopy of the Amarok since about August last year, I use the Ute every other week for about 4 days. I have a cheap 105watt solar panel supplying a 25A dcdc charger to a 120amp AGM battery. So far it has performed almost flawlessly, well the fridge has. Set to 3c it hasn’t missed a beat, but the plastic insulation may be a little thin, as on one very hot Brisbane sunny day above 40c it came very close to flattering the battery. I didn’t monitor it very closely but at 3:30pm with the solar panel in full sun and a small amount of ventilation in the canopy the battery voltage was 11.6V so pretty much 20% well below the voltage I would like to let my AGM batteries get to. I plan on putting a 200w house panel on the roof, that should eliminate any future issues. To be honest I haven’t had an issue since because it hasn’t been that hot since. I also have put a cover on the fridge to add to the insulation.
