They feel that a man of your keen intellect would not be easily scammed, so why bother.

At least the hack was discovered. A rogue AI agent is bad enough but the bigger worry would be if it went undiscovered.

It takes very intelligent people to GET my jokes. Nev

It was a Chinese build. Tipper back. Single cyl, shaft drive to a short conventional diff. The frame was 2"box downtubes. Really tough. But also very dead.

That's a wild looking bit of gear. Looks like it's long retired. The tray on it reminds me of the old LJ-80 Suzuki that I deeply regret scrapping. They make a great little farm runabout. Mine was a rust bucket with a dead motor but I had two x spare chassis and a complete spare drive train with it. The good thing about them is the gearbox and transfer case are two separate entities which gives a lot of options to upgrade the engine and gearbox. Back in the day a lot of people put Corolla motors and the Toyota five speed box in the LJ-80's and retained the stand-alone Suzuki transfer box, all it needed was a drive shaft length adjustment. A mate had one of those little Daihatsu 4x4's for a farm runabout. He stripped it down and put scrub bars on it and the floor was converted to mesh, the sets were those old plastic chairs you used to see in pub beer gardens. With the mesh floor and plastic seats, it didn't matter if it was left out in the rain. Their light weight is what makes them handy, they go a lot of places with wide tyres.

if i was a family member of the deceased US soldiers being returned i would have been disgusted to have 2 non serving tossers who caused the deaths stand there and salute. It is a disgrace to anyone who has served for their country.

Just to put the supply and demand influence on pricing, we should include data centres. These things require grid reinforcement and generation increases far above population requirements. They now affect wholesale prices. A single hyperscale data center can consume over 100 megawatts — comparable to the usage of tens of thousands of homes. Australia already hosts 154 data centers across 77 cities, operated by 58 distinct operators. And plan for many more. https://www.datacenters.world/countries/australia

Here's how the 10 or so posts commenced. Note: they have beeen deleted. Hello Dear . How are you doing today? I would love us to be good friends ,

I missed out Now I feel neglected. What am I doing wrong?

Problem solved

I wish someone would tip a barrowload of sand on each of those Trevago guys.

Stil covered in frost outside here which is not far from there. Beautiful clear day other wise. My Barometer is 1041 Mbs. Highest I can recall. Nev

Given the morals of tech bro entrepreneurs are somewhat lower than alley cats on heat, how do we know that rogue AI agents haven't already escaped?

HE has always referred to Service People as "Suckers and Losers". Nev

She was obviously taking the piss.

Meanwhile, in USA, it is reported: "Virginia hosts the world’s largest concentration of these facilities, and PJM’s independent market monitor found data centers drove 63% of last year’s capacity price increases across the regional grid. That cost doesn’t stay abstract. It lands on every ratepayer in the territory — a pattern familiar to those who’ve followed tech scandals where costs are quietly shifted onto ordinary people." I suspect Australia will follow the American funding model.
