For laughing at all the conspiracy videos on social media by chuds who think its a Chinese originated weapon that is mostly harmless to humans, but driven by the world order to secure greater restrictions over personal freedumbs and redistribute wealth to the Illuminati Lizard People.
Or something. I kind of lost track after they said "harmless", thinking about convoys of Italian military loaded with corpses.

@taniwharugby Yep ours dropped from $1.43 down to $1.20, no doubt will drop lower. But yes I wont be driving much that is for sure. Long term this will also hurt the state as they get a lot of revenue from petrol tax.

The theory is that petrol tax is used for roads / infrastructure, so it should have no effect right, as there will be much less wear / tear on the infrastructure.
Yeah, right.

It is a poor theory - here in Oz the tax just goes in the bucket with the rest, and there is no evidence at state or federal level that it goes dollar-for-dollar on roads.
Tollways are all built by private operators here in Sydney.

One positive I have come across by working from home is that I'm not wasting food. If a loaf of bread was going stale it would be off to the dogs but today I sliced into it and stuffed with a garlic butter and cheese. Now I have a yummy cheesy garlic loaf.

Just thought of another thing. I bet there will be a tonne of people doing marathons after this or half marathons and I imagine a lot of husbands and wives will be wanting to go for a run to get aaway from the house. There is going to be a lot fitter people around.

I'm back under 101kg for the first time in months! Not marathons just yet but I've been testing out the results of heart surgery and it is going well so far.
Next stop: 99.9kg!

You should be ashamed to call yourself a prop
