All I know is that if I get an unexpected invite to a family dinner, I'll be very nice to the host/ess, arrive early to help prepare the food, and even then, I'll be the last one to start eating.

Considering the disparity of wealth between Musk & Donny, I would think that pssin orf Musk is not a great move. In spite of all their numerous childish behaviours, the wealthiest will win.... if he doesn't wake up tomorrow with a new brainwave, and go off on a new project.

It's ok. He may have overslept... a lot.

And nowadays, it means much the same in most languages. Along with his hangers-on.

And sadly, I'd bet they don't have opening windows there!

Poo-ten is so much more efficient at cutting bureaucracy than Musky's DOGE. Maybe the new American administration just needs more open windows?

Putin's oil boss plunges to his death. He had a problem with a window. Reported in 4th July. Apparently the public remain sceptical...... https://www.dagens.com/world/putins-oil-boss-plunges-to-his-death-the-window-curse-strikes-again

Well that might ease the food shortage in NK.

Well I think that has been the case all along. Also, blind freddy (but not donny) knew all along that poo-ten is fixated on conquering Ukraine at all costs.

Anyway, "Who is Elon Musk Really?" My answer is.... The next King of America! (If he isn't already that)

However, sad to say, that echoes my view of our Australian two party system. How can we balance between voting for one mob of bullies or a slightly different mob of bullies. Each mob is promoting their sponsors interests instead of their population's interests.

I once gave my mum a mother's day card on my birthday. At the time I thought it was better than giving her a sympathy card.

Here's my Random Thought for today...

Sounds reasonable. Quite a lot is also consumed in bulk

Well thats different. All is forgiven.

Was that a good thing?

Aaaargh! Where is WH&S? Not wearing hi viz Not wearing hard hat Not wearing gloves Not wearing safety glasses Not wearing SPF50 long sleeves, No seatbelts No seats No Prework Risk Assessment..... Probably wearing thongs. Probably more passengers in the vehicle than vehicle is licenced to carry.... And yet, impossible though it seems, you are still alive.

So we became "One Nation". Pauline would be chuffed.

And with the light front end, the front wheels aquaplaned before the back ones. So when I hit an inch of water at 60 mph, .... no steering ! And the front gets a fright and tries to get behind the back ones. That was a fortunately brief lesson on the Newell Hwy, forever etched in my memory in 1969.

Our trusty labor hasn't changed much. Good old Clark n Daws got it right years ago... https://youtu.be/QYnLjPl8a7w?feature=shared

All true for modern motor vehicles. But my 1955 Austin champ had a safe fording depth of 6 feet. Safe depth if you stood on the driver's seat.

Rain shadow areas are very prone to floods.... But only those rare unexpected ones

As a simple nonexpert observation, 1. I don't see many broken down cars by the wayside. All cars have become unbelievably reliable over the past 30 yrs. 2. I have NEVER seen an EV stranded by the roadside. This leads me to unscientifically conclude that the the published stats about 'failure rates' of EV's must include trivial 'faults' such as failed cupholders. Basically BS to be filtered out. There is obviously less to fail mechanically in an EV than a comparable old style vehicle. Hence obviously, the reliability, and whole of life cost will be lower for the EV.

Looks like you are stuck in a rain shadow. I bet you are hoping for some climate change 😉

Digressing for a moment (it's about time someone hijacked the thread)...... I think it won't be long before mr musky is toppled from his billionaire pedestal - by the chinese EV industry. Followed by the collapse of Apple. What will this change of billionaire influence do to USA politics?
