I think the Republicans realise they will lose the House, but Trump will do everything he can to hold onto the Senate. If the Democrats win the Senate as well, they will be in a much stronger position to make his life miserable. My concern is that the Democrats are so focused on campaigning against Trump that they haven't figured out what they're actually for and what they would do to turn the ship around, so nothing much will get done for the next two years.

There's lots of those interviews on uTube. They're probably edited to focus on the dumbest Trump supporters, but it's extraordinary how many uninformed, naive and really strange people there are standing in those queues.

Definitely a good memory. I remember him on Pick-a-Box correcting Bob Dyer when Bob said his answer was wrong.

The first 300,000 tons is enough to last about half a day if it even arrives in the US before the election. Trump will brag about the deal but it will have very little effect on diesel prices, even if Putin delivers on his promises.

I think the House will go to the Democrats but the Senate is probably doubtful. I also think Trump and his minions are planning a lot of disruption in States that they look like losing. It won't be a clean election and the results will be disputed in the courts for weeks if not months. Trump will do everything he can to avoid losing and he has the Justice department, Russ Vought and a bunch of election deniers in influential federal and state positions to help him do it.

Angus doesn't have much going for him.

He's just got off the phone with Putin and announced a deal to buy 4,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia over the next couple of months. That's only about 9 days worth of US diesel consumption, but what happened to the sanctions bill he just got passed that allows him to tariff countries that deal with Russia? Sounds as though he will have tariff himself. Meanwhile Zelensky keeps bombing their refineries which Trump is complaining about too.

The engine will have had a good soak by then.

That's simply not how insurance works.

I think there will be so much pushback from politicians and the public that he will be forced to drop that barbaric idea.

He's just blasted Norway in a speech because they didn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize. He said he deserved it for stopping eight wars plus two more which he says he will wrap up very soon, including the one he started although he didn't mention that. What a loser. It's hard to believe that this moron is the US president. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgj921e14jdo

By setting 1040HPa on the altimeter assuming ground is effectively sea level (and temp =15 deg).

Just shows you didn’t really need it.

I had to look it up and these figures are a bit approximate: Adjustment for pressure based on standard temp of 1013 HPa is about (1013-1040) x 27 feet/HPa giving PA = -729 feet (negative). Temp rises as you go lower at about 2deg per 1000 ft so temp at -729 feet temp is 15- 729/1000x2 = 16.4 deg approx. which from DA = PA + 120 (ISA -OAT) = -729 + 120(15 - 16.4) = -897 feet. You're flying 847 feet below sea level allowing for the 50 ft at Moorabbin. I would have failed the exam today but hopefully would have passed it once upon a time.

I've never seen the point of using conditioner. The main reason you need shampoo is to get rid of the conditioner you didn't need the day before.
