TL:DR Unless there is some change to ADR 85 that is not publicly available, most* imported cars will be compliant with ADR 85. (I'm not an engineer, nor am I in the know in relation to imported cars unlike the guys at Iron Chef or GoGarage)
There were a couple of comments on some threads recently which claimed that the Australian Government was proposing 'new laws' or already starting to stop the import of Kei Cars, because they would not comply with ADR 85.

What is ADR 85?
Link: https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2015L02109/latest/text
ADR 85 tests the Pole Side Impact performance (PSI) of a car - essentially a test car is flung into a pole at speed and its safety is measured.
ADR 85 has prevented cars such as the Lexus IS and RC from being sold (presumably because it cannot meet the new standards.\
What cars need to comply with ADR 85?
For imported cars, an ADR will apply if:

• the date of original manufacture falls on or before the ADR applicability date
• the build date range of the model starts on or after the new model applicability date

Source: https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2021L00838/latest/text (section 10)
The date of original manufacture date is the date on which the vehicle was first made available to a consumer in any market in the world.
The ADR85 applicability date is 1 November 2021 .
The ADR85 new model applicability date is 1 November 2017.
How to comply with ADR 85?
ADR 85 is essentially a regulation standardised by the United Nations' World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations. Section 7 of ADR 85 states that UN Regulation 135, is equivalent to the technical requirements of this standard.
Surely, those tiny Kei cars can't meet these ADRs that a big Lexus can't?
Japan has adopted UN Regulation 135 for all new cars since 15 June 2018. (Australian Source - https://www.drive.com.au/news/adr-85-everything-you-need-to-know/, Japanese Source - https://car.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/707164.html )
Japan proposed a cheeky amendment just so that Kei Cars could pass UN Regulation 135 - it lobbied for the vehicle speed for the test to be lowered from 32 km/h to 26 km/h for vehicles which were less than 1.5m wide (Annexure 3, paragraph 8.7 here https://unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs/2015/R135e.pdf )
Here's the Japanese trying to justify it to the UN here: https://unece.org/DAM/trans/doc/2012/wp29grsp/PSI-05-06.pdf
So why the rumours?
Right now, neither the model report nor the SEVS approvals for the Suzuki Spacia have been suspended or revoked.
The Spacia's date of original manufacture and build date range both start in December 2017 - so ADR 85 applies but it was prior to Japan adopting the equivalent UN Regulation 135. Hmmm....
Will Kei cars come to Australia?
It's clear that Mitsubishi is clearly considering launching their newest EV kei car in Australia - see the most recent Chasing Cars review of it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_XpWwwHxKc

Hey Introvert Buddies,
How often you rewatch ur favourite movies again and again. Like mine I rewatch LOTR, Harry Potter, StarWars, Adam Sandler Comedy movies, Jennifer Aniston Movies, Hangover movies, Jurassic Park and World etc. Even though new movies are up now.

I have been a Greg for years, since like 2016, I have loved that Danny has always been so unproblematic all this time, outlasted so many ngl. He doesn't cover political topics yet still displays positive, non-offensive values.
And I want to clarify, I stand with Palestine, the ethnic genocide that has been happening there is horrendous in every way. But I think a commentary YouTuber is the wrong place to direct that energy and expect thorough knowledge of every single thing going on in the world from. Buying Starbucks does not make you evil.
Starbucks does not fund the war, Starbucks does not contribute to the war financially, they also do not operate in Israel. The company higher-ups have made an unethical and politically bad move (who is shocked, this is a billion-dollar company), but the money from your frappuccino will not kill someone. People who want to boycott can boycott, but you can't expect everyone to do the same.
Danny has been unproblematic throughout his career on YouTube, and he has recently become a father, meaning he has a BABY now. That is a lot of work for anyone, he is a dad now and should be given the space to prioritise his family. He is likely spending less time online these days.
Starbucks sued the Union in October of last year. his kid was one MONTH old, he probably just missed it, as many, many people did.
And because he left a Starbucks cup out in the background of a video of him in his home, in a clip where he is recording a TikTok where he is begging Jake Paul to fight him, I do think that that is a leap to presume that is him voicing his support of a mass murder.
It upsets me so much that the backlash was obviously so immediate and harsh that Danny obviously felt the need to write an apology about it, because Danny has literally seen this happen to people alongside him on YouTube (severity of actual harm done ranging from Shane Dawson to Ned Fulmer, to Jenna Marbles), and like two videos he had a whole segment talking about how much he loved his job and hoped he'd be able to do it for much longer, but he has to be careful because he doesn't know how long the career span is. Oh my god I would actually die, the dread and worry and the foreshadowing would kill me. I pray there is no actual impact on him getting sponsorships or how his channel does online
I'm sad that this is the point this has gotten to. If you care about the current Israel war on Gaza, go actually support that idea. Go protest, or donate to aid or relief. Help the Palestinians, or go pressure people who can actually do something about it.

Hello everybody ! I have created a discord server several months ago with the subject of "Devotional Non-Duality" with the aim to gather sincere and devoted spiritual students in order to share spiritual experiences, share spiritual texts, music, etc. This server is dedicated to the in-depth studying of the mystics of the world who, though separated by time or space, are united by their teachings of Divinity through love and peace. Each day we go through a passage from a mystic from several different backgrounds (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, ...) as so to discuss it or just to meditate on it. There is a large emphasis on the mystics of the past (Nisargaddatah Maharaj, Meister Eckhart, Farid ud-din Âttar, Dogen, ...) whose teachings have been established as trustworthy and as a clear beacon of spiritual guidance.
I would be really grateful and happy to see anyone come and have a look. :)

The American Jewish Congress condemns in the strongest possible terms the request by the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan for judges to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This is a grave moment for the rule-based international order and threatens to limit the powers of moderate and democratic states to confront and eliminate terror organizations that threaten the international system. The attempt to equate Israel’s elected leaders to Iran-backed terror commanders of Hamas deserves special denunciation. It is atrocious to equivocate elected leaders of a democratic state striving to protect its citizens to a terrorist organization whose members committed heinous war crimes that reek of depravity and religious and racial hate, including sexual attacks against women who were violated and killed in front of their family and children. If ICC judges act on this request, this would be tantamount to binding the hands and constraining the powers of regional states ranging from Morocco to Turkey, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, and others that have existing conflict with deadly terrorists that share Hamas ideology. We strongly urge ICC judges to decline the prosecutor’s request and avoid creating a dangerous precedent that will be difficult to unroll. The United States and democratic nations everywhere should explicitly communicate to the ICC that its actions would prevent states in the future from executing their duties to their citizens and to global peace.
Sincerely, American Jewish Congress

im not much of a theorizer so not to much proof but hear me out. kris started undertale in a another timeline at chapter 2 cause we know that kris opened a fountain in her house and in their village we have all of the undertale charchters almost and we already know deltarune is a world scramble of undertale and ralsei is a word scramble for asriel which are both extremely connected to undertale and you could argue that we dont see a fountain in undertale but thats because the entire game we are underground, when kris opened the fountain the monsters got angry at the humans because one human did it maybe all the other humans are the same and then the war started which started undertale.

2D game up to down and gameplay is simply bring 5 unit to clear stages that require energy, mostly grinding exp and gold to upgrade units. You need to pull for a new creature and higher rarity unit is stronger, also theres a cartoon i found on youtube for this IP (asian country language dub i think).
warrior creature on the left is the main character
stage gameplay
Just randomly remembering all the old phone game i used to play, quit the game in 2014 to play summoners wars they are quite similar.

Got the Kingdom of Ireland formed and feel so satisfied with it. I am pretty new to the game and this is the first run where I felt like I intentionally made stuff happen.
Diplomacy based RP run. Made a good few strong allies early in with Bavaria, England, some strong French vassals. Gave me a lot of space from my Irish rivals and would-be Norse challengers. My strength at peak (around 15 years in) was at 20k+ stacked against my strongest threat coming in around 5-8k soldiers.
Really played into the gregarious trait, made a lot of friends including the catholic pope early on (for gold injections) and held a middling to decent court with an Excellent marshall. Played the county control game while I slowly vassalized most of the Irish land holders. Only waged two short wars internally.
Realised pretty quick that Insularism was delaying me diplomatically, so went on a short pilgrimage and converted my faith and that of my house members to Catholicsm. I’m sure I could have played the long game and taken Insularism through but I didn’t see any RP reasons not to convert as I was playing a socialite ruler who saw through the folly of needless war.
In amongst all this a few plagues afflicted us. I had a brilliant physician who controlled them well. I also built one set of hospices in Luimneach.
My first wife bore me four children. She and my fifth born child died during labour.
Increased legitimacy via hunts, the aforementioned pilgrimage and by holding Bavaria well in their defensive war.
Now I’m close to 60 alliegances are dwindling due to allies old age. England has had Robert succeed who is weakening by the month. I am still a strong player militarily in Europe now especially with Ireland united. So I can see the angle to unite Britannia and set Irish culture as a global force.
I am sure I still have no idea what I’m doing!!!!
House is burgeoning, the Kingdom is formed. I feel good about it! But I’m sure it will go to shit when my son inherits. Such is life :)

im not much of a theorizer so not to much proof but hear me out. kris started undertale in a another timeline at chapter 2 cause we know that kris opened a fountain in her house and in their village we have all of the undertale charchters almost and we already know deltarune is a world scramble of undertale and ralsei is a word scramble for asriel which are both extremely connected to undertale and you could argue that we dont see a fountain in undertale but thats because the entire game we are underground, when kris opened the fountain the monsters got angry at the humans because one human did it maybe all the other humans are the same and then the war started which started undertale.

After playing I grew opinion that Sordland is most similar to Georgia and I will explain why.
(It's just a speculation and theory)

History parallels

I will start with direct parallers.
Sordland: Wisci (first president of Sordland) wrote a constitution which tried to establish the institutions necessary for a democratic republic. Soon, Wisci's government became the victim of a military coup led by the nationalist general, Eduard Luderin. Luderin instituted a reign of terror that crushed dissent against his government. The Sordish Civil War erupted.
Georgia: Gamsakhurdia’s (who was also the first president) government also try to wrote constitution and to form government, but it failed because of Nationalist military coup led by Jaba Ioseliani. which started the times of Anarchy and civil war with trumvirate government ruled by Jaba Ioseliani, Tengiz Sigua and Tengiz Kitovani.
Sordland: The civil war ended after Colonel Tarquin Soll intervened, which resulted in Luderin's capture and Rikard's death. Soll restored the republic with himself as president and established the United Sordland Party, which served as the governing party of Sordland. Under Soll's leadership, the young republic experienced stability and growth and protection from foreign influence, which solidified the country's position.
Georgia: Civil war ended after Eduard Shevardnadze intervened, which also funny enough resulted in capture of Tengiz Sigua, Tengiz Kitovani and Jaba Ioseliani’s death. Shevardnadzes finally formed government and established constitution and Presidency. Shevardadzes rule was characterised of ending anarchy, stability, growth and also establishing protective measures against any foreign powers.
Sordland: Unfortunately over time, Soll grew increasingly authoritarian, which brought the country into stagnation and increased political and racial tensions. Tarquin Soll was eventually succeeded by Ewald Alphonso, a reformist within the USP who promised to bring reform to the country. Unfortunately, a combination of infighting, a hasty liberalization of the economy and continental economic tensions led to a recession and the empowerment of various oligarchs.
Georgia: As expected Shevardnadze was practicly a authoritarian dictator with infinite power because of broken Constitution that established Absolute presidency. He was succeded by Mikheil Saakashvili who was also part of Shevardnadzes party and was known reformer. His reforms was charaterised as pro-free market and excesive privatization, which led to reccession, uneployment and problem with oligarchs, but it was hard because of as said in Suzerain “hasty liberalization of the economy and continental economic tensions” which perfectly explains it.
I believe simillarities end there because there is no corrolations between Anton and party that succeded the Saakashvili.

Geopolitics

Sordland is between two superpowers of Arcasia and United Contana. This is pretty easy to see as Georgia is also between influence of Capitalist USA and Communist China. Georgia is friendly to both and is experiencing benefits from both of them.
In north there is Rumburg which is identical to Russia. both imperialist country that is characterised by agression. Sordland can have war with Rumburg, as well as Georgia had one with Russia.
Sordland and Agnolia are friends and Agnolia is clearly Netherlands. Georgia has strong relationship with netherlands (probably best in Europe).
Wehlen can be Azerbaijan. They are simillar because of Authoritarian President and Oil.

Separatist Region

Sordland: There is Special zone of Bergia within the Sordland that is problematic Region because of it’s Seccesionist tendencies. Bludish separatis are suplied with AK’s by Rumburg.
Georgia: There sadly was a Autonomous region of Abkhazia which was also seccesionist and is probably exactly is like bergia. Abkhazian separatists were suplied with AK by guess who… Russia.

Characters

Wisci and Gamsakhurdia

• Both first presidents.
• both were authors and wrote poems.
• Famous father and son.
• Came with Revolution (definetly with a blast).
• was couped.
• had tragic and undeserving death.

Wisci and Gamsakhurdia

Tarquil Soll and Eduard Shevardnadzee

• both were experienced statesman.
• ended anarchy and stabilized country.
• Saviours of Government at first, but Authoritarians at the end.
• Protectionist politics.
• Created Constitution.
• the way game describes vibe of soll is same as Shevardnadze (Abstract I know but both had same presence in room trust me).
• Was ousted by Inexperienced Reformist.
• Have not been seen after resignation and were isolated.
• had protection status (somethin like member of honour).
• had immense power and infuence even after resignation.

Soll and Shevardnadze

Ewald Alphonso and Mikheil Saakashvili

• Both were Reformist within Party (Ewald in USP and Saakashvili in UCG (Union of Citizens of Georgia).
• Implimented Free-market reforms.
• Privatization and Tax cuts.
• Pro-wester capitalists
• Radical reforms that hindered public opinion.
• Ties to Businessmans.
• Constantly in a battle against Old Guard.
• Tried to hurt authoritarian nature of previous leader.

Unlike Alphonso, Saakashvili served two termes as a president but I only counted his first one.
Ewald and Mikheil

Conclusion

This is my opinion and even though I tried to base it on as much facts as I can it is just a speculation. Because I dont know much about modern Turkey I can’t say much about their similarities.
I don't know if this kinda story repeats in every country in reccession but it definetly happend in Georgia.
Sorry for any grammar mistakes and thank you if you for read it and for learning a little more about my country.

The Nordic countries are very similar politically, economically and religiously, yet there has never been a union of all the Nordic nations as a distinct sovereign state. In the last 100 years or so, have there been any situations that could have resulted in a Nordic Union if the outcome of these was different?
I’m thinking along the lines of the Second World War (Germany/USSR conquer these states in their entirety and they remain united post-war), Cold War (a union is formed in the face of the Soviet threat, possibly becoming nuclear-armed or at least very Western-aligned rather than mostly neutral), or the current situation in Eastern Europe - which could be argued to be the advent of a Second Cold War (Finland and Sweden recently joined NATO due to the prospect of Russian invasion in the future, with all Nordic countries now being NATO members).

Do you think it makes sense to say "Christ is risen, therefore he is the Messiah"? I am trying to study Jewish prophecies, given that Jesus is the Messiah in relation to Jewish prophecies (we are not Marcionites, after all).
However, to me, it makes little sense to look at Jesus and then look back and say, "Look, Isaiah 7:14 speaks of Jesus," because if we read this prophecy, it doesn't speak of any messiah but rather of something that is immediately fulfilled.
Similarly, for example, I don't understand the purpose of dedicating an entire chapter (Ezekiel 40) to the architectural description of the "Third Temple" when, for Christ and Paul, the temple "is us, the members of the Church, and not a place."
I have the impression (and I emphasize, IMPRESSION, I am not stating anything with certainty) that very few "messianic" prophecies speak explicitly and undoubtedly about Jesus and that there are many more that do not point to him at all.
At present, I absolutely believe in Jesus in light of faith in his resurrection. I believe that he has risen, which seems reasonable to me, but it still seems very strange that our hermeneutics are based more on faith in the resurrection than on everything else (Not ONLY in the resurrection, but even in the fact that it is the most important and greatest religion of all, uniting people from all over the world into one mystical body, and especially for the immense spirituality and mystical and supernatural experience of the saints (such as Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Augustine of Hippo, or Saint Thomas Aquinas).
But I don't know, maybe these things are just superstitions or weak beliefs. Matthew, in his gospel, cites "fulfilled prophecies" that aren't even in the Old Testament! If I had to base my faith on the prophecies of the Old Testament and use them to investigate Jesus, regardless of whether he is resurrected or not, I don't know if I would follow him. What do you think?
