Now that's art I can appreciate.

Suuuure.

An amazing statue dedicated to Australian motorcyclist Kenny Blake. Located in Strathalbyn, South Australia. "Surely it is one of the most amazing and continuous tributes to a mate ever known. They come from afar to cheer this bloke, a motorcycling legend who won 11 Australian motorcycling titles. Some say he would have been at least the equal to Australia’s more recent champions Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Casey Stoner had he not been forced to race on a shoe-string budget."

Whilst paying the CEO's million$ per annum

Did they think you just had a happy end to your car trip? Lucky you!

I call my wife’s chai latte “Squirrel nut juice” bloody stuff is terrible. she does not like that name. Her cousins looked at me strange when I got to their place and explained the mess on my shirt as nut juice. Her over full cup had splattered all over me in the car whilst holding it.

one thing for sure..they wont declare any taxable income for the work processed, magically they will all run at a loss.

As with everything, ultimately the consumer and more broadly, the general population ends up carrying the costs

Just went for a walk, could see about 500MWs of wind on a couple of ridges. Not one was moving let alone turning. Thank god for Victoria's brown coal. Check out electrictymaps. Even Tassie has been running gas in the last month or so. https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2026/08/20aug-tamarvalley-switchedoff/

There is no emoticon for.... admiration of their spirit

Yes, I forgot the most important question.... WHO PAYS for this infrastructure, and who owns it, and who pays its maintenance and who pays for constant upgrades.

I went onto their website and looked at the product and there was no mention of it being anything other than normal low fat Greek yoghurt. I normally get the Chobani low fat Greek yoghurt and it has the texture of normal yoghurt, unlike the Tamar Valley stuff I bought which has the consistency of a thick milkshake. I messaged them out of curiosity to see if it was normal or just a small batch that had gone wrong. Apart from the semi-liquid state of it, the taste is quite normal. You never know what response you will receive when you contact companies with a product enquiry. Some are relly good and practical; some others seem to think it's a defensive game where you run customers around n circles until they go away. I remember contacting one of the Italian anchovy manufacturers when I found shards of sharp white plastic in their product. I wasn't complaining, just bringing it to their attention and they were really appreciative of it. Funny thing is, I bought a jar in recent times and encountered the bits of sharp plastic again, a couple of years after the last time. Probably related to something like a plastic bush that wears and eventually breaks during processing.

Not normal for them, i just had some pouches for smoko in the last few days. was thick and yummy- full of sugar in the flavoured ones. I normally like chobani but over $3 a pouch-no way, tubs are ok but i have filthy hands most of the day, this makes the pouches more hygenic.

It's every Australians right to KNOW al about these contentious DATA centres and their Ginomouse energy requirements. Nev

Original host of Channel Nine's "Getaway", Bettina 'Tina' Dalton, dies following a short illness.

And his soldiers just get a flag-drapped coffin as they come off the plane.

Probably picking up his job performance bonus from Putin.

Trump is lowering American flags to half mast for one week to honour Dolly Parton.

Good questions, but I think the fiorst to be answwered is: Who owns them? It seems to me that they are owned by a couple of American super companies. What happens if the US empire collapses? Already Europe is creating it own digital monetery transfer system that will reduce reliance on Visa and Master Card. What would happen to global communication if the US companies collapse? Tjhe world is so integrated into the Internet that one can hardly do anything without interacting with it. That's my possible red herring thrown into the discussion, but would the next person deal with Nomad's points, please?

Sometimes we don't know how lucky we are. We often have gripes about this and that, but life and nature can throw some people incredible problems, yet thet learn to cope with them and get on with life. Some are not expected to live a few days or more when born, but somehow live on into their 40's and 50's. A new series on Foxtel highlights these Extreme Humans. There have only been 2 episodes so far, each dealing with 2 persons/couples, but the show runs every Monday. Here are the people shown so far. From Turkiye, the world's tallest woman at 7ft 1in. She is 29, and studying computer science. She is so tall, she cannot sit in a car, she travels in a van, lying in the back on a matress. She has the largest ears. This couple from Brazil hold the Guinness World Record for the smallest couple in the world. They are both only 2ft 11in tall, yet live a comparatively normal life. The husband can drive, they go to the supermarket to do their shopping, they have to ask for help to reach items above the 4th shelf. They use a kiddies shopping trolley. When the husband puts the shopping in the car, his head is no higher than the rear seat. Naturally, door handles, benches and the sink in their home are lowered to their level. This girl from America is amazing. Her legs were badly deformed at birth and she gets around walking in her hands. Callipers on her legs as a child did not improve things. But she can drive an automatic car and rides horses. This chap from Brazil wasn't expected to live more than a couple of days at birth, but he is 48. The photos illustrate the contorted effects he has had to live with. It makes you wonder...and be grateful.

It's time we discussed this issue. Although there is a rumbling in the media, there is little factual background. Do we need them? If so, why, and what is the cost/benefit analysis. Is there a power supply problem? If so, what is the plan to mitigate it. Is there a cooling/heat/water problem? If so, what is the plan for mitigation.

Seems the Globemaster was accompanied by a C130 - probably carring the catering truck. Just in case.

What is Donold up to now? ww.nbcnews.com/world/russia/mystery-us-military-plane-lands-moscow-rcna594262 The head of CIA just flew into Moscow, and neither The Whitehouse nor Kremlin seem to know about it (yet).

Dolly Parton has passed away aged 80.. in very long article on the ABC news website, it only mentioned health issues. SWMBO will be devastated
