#CO8 GOP Rep Gabe Evans and Manny Rutinel (D) have not agreed to a televised debate and would not take voter questions at a televised town hall. So 9NEWS held the town hall without them. Health care was a key focus with one family after another sharing how they're struggling.

Eventually a combination of historians, naval architects and deep-pocketed funders decided there was only one way to settle it. Build one and do experiments. No blueprints as such, but plenty of bits of broken pot as a starting point for the design. So they built Olympias. Sexy little craft.

Fun insights, including "In fact, the shoes became so long and distracting that they obstructed the wearer’s ability to walk! In some cases, a string was attached below the knee to assist in moving the toe points to enable walking."

It also wouldn't be a BoF without dragons! And here, BoF3 introduced a new system with "dragon genes". Once you awaken to your power, you would eventually collect different "genes" and mix them in combos to unlock new forms to change into (just make sure no one is standing next to you!).

I can't stop thinking about the parody of it (based on a Geo Metro, with a mid-mounted Taurus SHO engine) that a team entered into the 24 Hours of Lemons a few years ago. It's beautiful.

Cities, get creative with EV charging. Like this absolutely ridiculous “release the Kraken” style approach where a driver unlocks payment and cables descend from about 10 or more feet above them.
