    And that's why most of us are grumpy, too!

    My first thought.... Did Spacey do this?

    I wish I hadn't deleted my Facebook account back in 2016. If I still had an account I would get great satisfaction from deleting it today - just to make a tiny point. But I can't delete it twice!

    That's proof that facts do not make profits. I think that 2025 is expected to be our most fact free year yet. I do wonder if any of the masses will get jack of it and delete their social media accounts? Or have we collectively become misinformation addicted?

    Yeah, but not the biggest. I submit.... X ..... owned by the biggest scammer of all time.

    Ahah! It isn't a conspiracy theory! Microsoft really has embedded Artificial Autocorrect into your brain!

    Following on from that thought, Jerry, I lament the demise of availabe knowledgable participants capable of eloquent debate. Both sides of an issue should be fairly presented by media so us punters can consider the merits of what is going on. This is what we need, to provide factual balanced discussion - when the media start stirring up 'hysteria". In the past media have feebly attempted to 'balance' their news by granting equal time to verbose conspiracy theorists as to ineffective rational respondants. The nutters win!

    Thats a point (to me). Nobody's media seem to highlight policies or legislation that has bipattisan support. Sure, there is a fair bit of it. But media focus is on radical division and trouble making, so we don't hear much about the stuff that is supported by all parties.

    Welcome back Octave. We missed you. Thanks for your input.

    Victor Hemery aboard the unapologetically spartan 200hp V8 Darracq at Arles-Salon, 1905, raised the LSR to 109.65mph. Note it was RHD. Braking and cornering would have been a challenge. Records were made to be broken.

    Well, now we have identified the sources of orbital spacetrash. Can we expect Spacex to put a big blue Simsmetal bin into orbit?

    What he really saw was the sun reflected off the trail of empty stubbies, thrown out the window by passing astronauts ....

    Perhaps you saw a Starlink satellite train? https://starlinkinsider.com/starlink-satellite-train/

    If you can't eat all of it, I volunteer to take some off your hands. Just to help you out, of course.

    Don't eat the wax. It is no better than chewing gum.

    Be nice please Nev. We just don't rush into big projects. We won'teven start building our new stadium until the price stabilises...... - and we are deliberately keeping the new ferries close to the builders in case something goes wrong and we need to make a warranty claim.

    And in Tassie they put the A/C on when it gets over 20
  18. nomadpete
    Nah, who needs fine print? But its such a bargain. If you are quick you can get two for the price of one!

    Either way, it is a great statement - was the musky one at home when it went up at the front door? Has a Tesla owner fallen out of lerv, or was he just too embarrased to be seen driving it? As an aside, that pic seems to show the front wheel at an odd angle.

    Very impressive progress Jerry.
  22. nomadpete
    Warning! Expect Wille to arrive soon with his truck - to take away all that post renovation timber. He cannot resist!
  23. nomadpete
    I think we will all be trying hard to find positive news this coming year. All the best from all of us, to all of you!
  24. nomadpete
    Quick! This is your last chance to do something special in 2024!

    Totally off topic, but related to human consumption of trash... Has anyone been watching the TV show about the presence of microplastics in human cells (& other animals)? They even found bits of plastic in brain cells! It looks like it is the new pandemic. SBS On Demand: "Plastic People- The hidden problem of microplastics"
