There's no credible evidence for the above post. The NYT websie itself doesn't appeat to report such damage and destruction (there is a report of the Saudi base being attacked with 13 deaths and 300 injuries to US personnel. But the only references I coud find toi the NYT report in the above were some YT and facebook posts, so I am not treating them as terribly credible at the moment. Of course, there could be some truth to it as the US DoW may want to hide the scale of destrcution, but you can bet your bottom dollar - with the scale of destruction - if there were such reports in the NYT, other outlets would be referencing it in their stories - and there are none. Sorry - but both sides of politics can lie... if Occupy Democrats is anything other than a group of people commentating on politics, anyway. It even may be someone purporting to be them.

China has already won handsomely from Trumps impulsive war - the war in which he cannot now find any allies, as he abused and vilified nearly every ally, he formerly had. https://www.watoday.com.au/business/the-economy/china-has-already-won-trump-s-impulsive-war-20260326-p5zirv.html

Helium always was in short supply, this war is war driving home how little the Earth has, by way of Helium reserves. Because Helium is so light and inert, any Helium produced without capture, escapes into Space, and is lost forever.

Need and MRI? You might have to wait. MRI machines need Helium for their functioning. Guess where a lot of Helium comes from. The global helium supply is currently facing a significant, immediate disruption due to geopolitical conflict, with roughly one-third of global production halted after attacks on Qatar's Ras Laffan facility.

At least supermarkets don't charge you to get the money. Banks hit you if you use an ATM (that's not you bank's).

Can you imagine the amount of destruction to infrastructure in both Iran and the other Arab countries that have been caught up in this madness? How long does it take to clear a bombed electricity generating facility of rubble and then build a new on in its place? Years. We bitch and carry on if our electricity is knocked out by Mother Nature for a day or so. Imgine having to go through a MIddle Estern Summer and winter without air conditioning or heating. Don't forget that the Iranians are not tent-dwelling camel drivers. They are the descendants of one of the longest running urban societies in the World. They are smart, sophoisticated people, despite their religion. They aren't even Arabs. They just follow the same religion. After WWII, the USA poured money into restoring Europe and Japan. One reason was so as not to repeat the errors of the Treaty of Versailles which battered Germany and lead to the rise of Hitler. The cause of the war with Japan was, would you beleive it, the USA trying to stiffle Japan's idea of an Asia run by Asians, not Europeans. Now, the USA is just about bankrupting itself waging an unwinnable war. There will be no money from that source to rebuild Arabia.

I needed $15, a $10 and a $5 note, today to put in a slot to get a docket for a haircut. ATM's don't give $5's and the docket machine does not give change. I went to Aldi to buy a couple of grocery items. I asked the guy on the checkout if I could get $15 cash out. He said, No. Only multiples of $10." I said "I need a $5 note. He said "You'll have to draw $20, and I'll give you 1 x $10 and 2 x $5.". How petty.

I was thinking that when I posted it. This one is not a bonus question, so the normal six letters are not given, you have to guess them all.

Being the best useless garbage makes you the winner.

That's what we've just enjoyed! - Heavy downpour.

Yep , to a T from everything l've seen too that isn't coming out of Donald ducks or any of his obedient side kicks mouths. like l said at the start , the yanks can't understand these people or how they'll fight but these people haven't survived over 2000yrs on luck. Us will be damn lucky to make 500 l reckon and it could be at that hands of someone like this but China hasn't survived 5000 yrs on luck either so. As l said in some thread round here to notice everyone he does go are nothing compared to the US, it's a Putin all over. But these guys, l reckon they'll givem a run and a half and from what you've said they bloody are to. Also saw they've been preparing for the US and this 20yrs and for anything big in general since the 70s. Apparently to they also have over a one million man trained army so if Duck puts people on the ground it probably won't end well for them they reckon. Also listening to Sachs this morning and one other professor and they both agreed Iran could really damage to the US in all this because of their poss' millions of drones and the type of drones they actually are, even take out some of their ships. At any rate , God only knows but one things for sure well two actually in my book. The US won't be getting out of this Scott free but 2ndly, congratulations to on creating new rounds of Terrorism from here to now for decades to come. ps and oh yeah, thanks for running the whole world into the dirt from here too, for probably at least 12mths now but could be much longer.

That's a pretty high ranking.

Well, l'm glad to hear that anyway. But yeah they do , can't work it out something should be done. And they only choose 1 world story whatever they deem worthy on the night you wouldn't have a damn clue about anything watching them. Tv wise l do like SBS though, their world news covers a helluva lot but they also have most main countries individual own news shows too. Love watching all those too even though most of them aren't translated . Also have a few broad channels l watch on Tube but other scattered bits and pieces everywhere as well.

If you think you are safe in Australia, watch these progressive mental health major party voter events. Owners' dash cams. There's hundred of raw videos like this one.

The Iranians are calling this The End of Times and Trump is “al-Dajjāl” – the Muslim equivalent of the Antichrist. https://theconversation.com/a-senior-iranian-cleric-thinks-trump-is-the-muslim-antichrist-who-is-this-figure-al-dajjal-277976

Correct.

Well, Narelle has pretty much burnt itself out, as it heads through the Southern Goldfields of W.A. as an ex-tropical depression. We've had a very nice 66mm of rain in Perth since early yesterday morning, nice steady soaking rain, and it's pretty much finished as far as the rain from Narelle goes. Most the W.A. wheatbelt has received between about 25mm to 40mm, a great start to the cropping season. I haven't got any recent news on storm damage in places such as Carnarvon (which recorded a wind gust of 133kmh yesterday afternoon, I guess quite a few banana trees will have been wiped out. Exmouth and Coral Bay have suffered some moderate levels of storm damage, but the buildings in those places are built to withstand cyclones, so they generally survive O.K. Learmonth copped a total of over 350mm in rainfall, so pretty wet there, some of the other places down the coast didn't get a lot of rain, Carnarvon only got 11.6mm in total.

Research the location.

I don't think there was much detail to go on, but you could say it falls under the heading of entertainment. I know that's pretty sketchy, but narrowing it down much further would give it away.

"Jog on" is pure British slang. Never heard it used here.

You don't understand. The dairy farm was obviously a front for drug manufacturing and transport. The cows were the transport method. You just got to keep one step ahead of cunning drug lords!

What is the phrase description? I see "research the .... something". Not a very common phrase, IMO.

If you watch the European news, such as DW.com News, you'll get a more balanced world view of what is actually going on in the world. Australian news channels are all about making money from shock/horror/crime news. There's crime everywhere if you want to concentrate on finding it. We still live in a pretty safe country, IMO.

Champion golfer Tiger Woods has been taken into custody and charged after he was involved in a serious car crash in Florida. The rollover crash occurred just after 2pm (local time) on Friday not far from where Woods lives in Jupiter Island in Florida, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office told media outlets. It has been reported that there were no serious injuries and police said it could “have been a lot worse”. Florida’s Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek later confirmed that Woods showed “signs of impairment” at the time of the accident. Budensiek said Woods had tried to overtake a truck “at high speeds” before he swerved and rolled his Land Rover. “When it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he has been charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test,” Budensiek said.

Yeah, l'd like to think the same, your certainly oblivious to any of t up here on the Mallee . But yeah , makes me sick the way our Melb/Sydney news just insist on splattering it all over the news every damn night, as l said gave up watching those a few yrs back, l don't even know how they can read that stuff night after night. l think we're the only country that insists on that every night from the many other news l've watched around the world. Even the Us you'd have no idea there even was any violence there none of it's on the news bar one of their yet another mass shootings every now and then but most of those don't even get a mention either. Uk's bad atm too but haven't seen any of it much on their news either.
