Or, you could put it all on a horse. Unlike shares, you know the probability of a return. About 1 in 15 chance of a significant dividend, with the benefit of getting it without waiting for board meetings, etc, which might not happen for a year. P.S. Do not take advice from me, I am not a reliable source.

That was the local economy. But coinidentally, The Old Empire was losing its ability to 'rule the waves', at about that time.

What happened to those original hemp attempts? I don't remember any mention of it when we were at school And I don't know what invoked 'Underscore'.

They were right about that bit....... sort of.

So, you expect me to believe that Trumpy didn't invent tariff wars? Or that tariffs might have long term problen for the world? Shocked, I am. Shocked!

Let's talk about Artificial Intelligence
nomadpete replied to old man emu's topic in Science and Technology
Yeah, but.... Sure, it's Artificial. But not Intelligence. I have met people like that. They would never achieve Grande Mastere though. -
Maybe we should revise the common usage of the words 'race' & 'racism'. Last time I looked, folks from 'other countries' are all of the same race. Likewise all humans regardless of their skin pigment or language. So in the above discussion, wouldn't a Paki be of the same race as a Anglo Aussie? Aren't we all members of the Human Race? Racism? Bah!

Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

I am humbled to be graced by the presence of so many Grande Masters! I bow to your superior grandiosity -
As Nev said, whether petrol, diesel or electric - the harder you work it, the less range you get. Adequate power can come from any of these sources. A big advantage that EV's have is great torque from zero rpm. BTW steam is like that, too. Piston engine has zero torque at zero rpm.

Read up on the Tesla electric conversion kit - when fitted to old series Landrovers. No problem with getting enough torque to climb serious 4wd stuff.

Maybe not only an EV issue.....

People who worry that Covid Vaccine might change their genetic make-up, should welcome that possibility.

Can you name these, with reference to their documented policies? My gripe is that the major parties seldom quote their official policy in their election advertising. Therefore the electorate are seldom aware of their official goals, beyond some vague slogans. All parties are guilty of this.
