    A mate of mine has a 4.9 SS, LHD but a nice car, with all the rust repairs done. Fly yellow over black.

    10 years ago he couldn't get 80K for it.

    ...and 10 years ago RHD Aussie 308GT4's were going for $40k so there is an amount of parity there.

    Interesting things happening with quantum computing.

    https://blog.google/technology/research/google-willow-quantum-chip/

    "Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 10 septillion (that is,10 to the power 25) years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the Universe."

    10 septillion is a lot of patcent...

    Fun factoid, HAL is one letter prior to IBM

    2nd factoid, the genius's in the Labor party were all set to pay an almost unknown company $1billion to build a quantum computer in QLD. It appears not to have occurred to them to check how far along the competition are.

    Actually, probably not in common knowledge, but my favourite movie of all time, which I watched when I was a kid and read the book soon after. The final question when I went on "Millionaire": "What was the name of the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey?" Easy money.
