Darryl the gambler from storage wars has passed away at 67. i didn’t mind this show when it started, since learnt a lot was staged.

In the eighties I used to watch cartoons on a show he hosted. Sad to see younger people passing.

Anyhow the thread title includes the Word IMPACT. Doesn't that imply damage? Remember how the Snowy scheme was built and the railway through the American Rocky Mountains . Nev

He Behaves just like one. He only deals when he has a gun to your Head. IF he was a car Headlight bulb, He'd be about 5 watts. Definitely NOT Forman Material.. Nev

It looks like a DIVE at the Moment and due to the State that Building is in. That's a "Local Yokel" thing so.... NO. PLUS it could just be advice for JACK.. Nev

If you don't get rid of $#!t you are in it. Cities are full of it. Sunlight sanitises. Nev

Get ya mind outa tha gutter, old mate. You're above all this.

James Valentine passed away on 22 April 2026). He was an Australian musician, and radio and television presenter. As a saxophonist he was a member of Jo Jo Zep (1982), Models (1984–87), and Absent Friends (1989–90). Valentine was treated for an oesophageal cancer in March 2024 and was alerted to a tumour in his omentum in June 2025. He died in on 22 April 2026 using voluntary assisted dying.

Jerry, I've been watching some videos in YouTube. Really rivetting stuff - unclogging blocked sewage drains. What amazes me is that the drains come into manholes which just have half-pipe chanels in them. Don't you get a lot of smell from them? Also, in towns it seems that the sewage drains run across properties, picking up from each house as they flow towards the mains. Also the houses seem to have water pipes running all over teh place from the hot water boilers. I understand that the hot water feeds through radiators in rooms, but with all that water to be heated, and then for it to lose its heat, what are heating costs like? Finally, and a bit yucky, those drains always seem to be clogged with what the plumbers call "wipes". The look like handkerchief-sized cloth. Don't they have bum fodder that breaks up in the water as it goes down the pipes?

What makes understanding AI difficult for me is the the very may ways that it is being used. Those many ways make it nearly impossible to say, "This is what AI is". I don't think that I could make a complete list of what one can do with AI. It seems that it is not possible to say what it can't do - apart from tasks invovling human imagination. I suppose one could compare it to a word processing program like Word. Have you ever used all the features that come in that program?

Well, in that case I'm not in the tribe then either, although I know about Gelignite Jack, Jack Sue (his old dive shop is not far from me), and CKS. Does that make me more eligible?

And just like a mafia boss, he should be behind bars

<double post>

What Trump meant by respect was not admiration, but more like the `respect' a Mafia mob boss wants.

You might make your Point stronger if you Elaborated. Nev

Good thing, shows who is doing the best at CO2 emmisions.

He rubs former allies Noses in the Cat$$#!t and expects us to follow him into stupid situations Like we have done blindly before without Questioning it. Even Americans are sick of Foreign Wars that Never end well. . Nev

In Australia when referring to the ones before us they use the Plural NATIONS. They have different Languages like PNG but the total Population was never that High.. Their Impact on the Land was fairly Minimal IF you ignore Burning off. I wonder if given the Option Todays indigenous People would like to give up all the advantages of a Modern society . Like airconditioning Bridges Roads Hospitals Airtravel Roof over your Head. Cars to drive. Money from the gov't and an education. etc.Nev

l reckon, but so how ironic is it that the rest of the world respecting the US again was one of his biggest things campaigning. Yet instead he's made a laughing stock out of himself , destroyed just about any international relations they had and they're leaving him in dust .

What is your point? Is this a bad thing?

Yes, No Yes. I wonder why it is important to you that we all share identical knowledge. What is the point of a conversation between 2 people with identical knowledge and culture?

France exporting approx. 18GW of very low carbon electricity at the moment

Have you heard of "Gelignite" Jack?, or Jack Sue of Z Force?, or one you should know about, Charles Kingsford Smith? Three examples of Traditional Aussies, shaping the Aussie psyche.

You KNOW that I'm referring to other countries. Nev

Yep, I was born here but my father emigrated from Sri Lanka. I should probably leave too as I'm untraditional. Not sure where I'd go though.
