Well he has achieved one of his biggest life goals..... Lasting word fame. People will be talking about him for many years to come.

I stand corrected.

Remember when TRumpy was trying to sue 60 minutes for minor editing a pause or two out of Kamala's interview? Look how CBS edited Donold's recent interview... https://decodingfoxnews.substack.com/p/trump-cbs-interview-what-was-and?r=1nd17&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true

Flabbergasted. That's the word.... I am trying to digest the fact that our own lovely oligarch Gina and our favorite underdog politician Pauline were 'guests' at the Mare-ole-Large-oh Halloween party. Donny doesn't seem to let anybody visit unless they pay? I don't doubt that Gina has the dosh (and the way to claim it on her tax), but how did our fish-n-chip lady come up with the entry fee?

Agreed. Those nasty narrow intense storm cells seem to be a new invention.

Unfoat this time, chemical storage (batteries) is not capable of major 'carry over' supply to the grid all night. It does however, provide enough storage for other mechanical generation to take up slack during brief shortfalls. That is why we really need some major storage such as pumped storage. For me, a smallish home battery will tide me over each night until the sun hits my rooftop solar each morning. I suspect that those who can affort it will be steadily installing a battery to complement their existing rooftop solar. We are giving up on trusting our government to provide reliable electricity.

Further, nobody complains about the visual pollution of sprawling outer suburbs, or of massive open cut coal mines (or other mines), or massive power stations (no matter what they burn). Frankly, whether a windfarm is producing or not, I think the turbines are visually nice. When I drive past a fossil fuelled power station, it just looks like a enormous ugly shed, whether it is on line or dismantled for routine maintenance. Further, I resent the implication that when a wind farm is idle, it is proof of it's uselessness. Every day the grid shuts down plant and reactivates plant to balance supply to demand. The fact that wind turbies (or steam turbines) are sometimes not turning, is not any indication of their economic viability.

Disgusting... Disgusting... I just drooled down my chest 😞

I think the best place to build a beach house would be at least 10mtrs AMSL

I think that although the "Truth Social" is just a echo chamber that was created to stroke some old bloke's ego, The New Administration might also use it as rough guide of numbers devout followers. Also as a rabble rousing pathway. But why has nobody made an issue over the utter crud he posts?

Most of the thinking world would see that oxymoron's abound in the Brave New World of USA.

Octave please! Don't go roasting Ethiopians.

So are you suggesting that those people don't count because their endorsementof the Gropenfuhrer reflects a lower less desirable mental competency? I remind you that those retweeting twits probably vote, which gives them SOME relevence. So, based on your judgement, are MGAnuts back on the menu for you?

Having grown in in Villawood, I have been surrounded by European migrants. No, I don't think coffee consumption is connected with europeans. Otherwise Aussies would prefer good coffee. I put it down to the constant american TV and movie exposure. This has changed our preferences. The europeans have gradually introduced better coffee, but I think the initial trend was a result of american marketing, similar to the acceptance of american jeans instead of trousers, and their Cola company would not be so popular.

Look at these DJT posts, and the number of 'Likes' & 'Reposts' and wonder how big the pro faschist oligarch worshipping is.....
