I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

I think they're falling apart for several reasons actually.

The fact that it rusts from rain and debris cracks me up. Imagine having one of those in frigging Melbourne or Sydney where it pisses down every other day.

What are they like 150+ grand AUD? You could get an electric Mercedes for less and it won't actively try to kill people while cutting your fingers off.

No need, fortunately they've been designed to deface themselves straight out of the shop.

The only reason I don't think any of them won't get stranded out in the desert somewhere is I honestly don't think any of them can stay driveable long enough to ever get to one.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Just touch it a bunch of times, apparently it picks up fingerprint smudges really easily. Is really easy to notice when people unconsciously grab for where the door handle should be, before remembering that it’s an unmarked capacitive button halfway up the window frame that you can press when it’s wet

Tesla also recommend washing it every few days lol

On that subject, it's crazy to see random ads pop up on Marketplace offering to sell you demerit points, I assume it's the same scam. Highly illegal but I guess the coppas have better things to do than chase dodgy sellers on the internet.

Urg I see people who do that for normal ice cars already. One little bit of dust or smudge and go get a full deluxe wash and wax (and yes they are SUV/4WD's that have never seen dirt roads in their life).

But looks like tonight is going to be it. The solar storm readings are literally off the charts.

Some of the photos from cloudy locations are still pretty cool.

The best time to see the aurora australis is between Saturday 10pm and Sunday 2am, from a dark spot with unobstructed views south.

I really briefly saw it in Adelaide around half an hour ago but it’s gone now. It was just a really faint red glow on the southern horizon that I confirmed was Aurora when I took a long exposure photo. Looks like almost nothing to the naked eye. I’m heading down the Fleurieu Peninsula now to see if I can get a clearer view of the southern horizon away from light pollution

I think leaving the city is the only way to see it properly

Yeah any amount of light pollution will make it really hard to see anything, the further south and the further away from the city the better

We're up high and have a good unobstructed view to the south but it encompasses most of eastern Melbourne so tonnes of light pollution

I'm going to wander down to the coast, shouldn't be any light pollution but it might be a bit cloudy.

Gotta work out how to take aurora photos on my old iPhone SE

people are posting pics of it on the local facebook page so I guess it's go time
