  1. I certainly know of many school kids greatly affected by the lack of social schooling and loss of friendships. We have a generation who were homeschooled for two years, most parents are very poor teachers.
  2. If you only have four things in a first aid kit.. A pack of tampons to insert into a wound. A pack of sanitary pads to cover wounds A large bandage A tube of super glue to close wounds and stop bleeding. As a bleeder on large warfarin doses, this can be a life saver. Four simple things and you have a mini military grade kit.
  3. In the warped reality of Maga, a debate is a lying match stacked with supporters and no fact checking. The debates will be a mix of networks apparently NBC ? First then ? And Fox last. The rules unknown as Harris is yet to agree terms and network. I think 🤔 Harris has the big advantage in been able to dictate more fair rules and make it a actual debate. It's Trump who is wanting 3 debates, so seems rattled and expects to act like the Biden debate and get away with bullshit. Kamala is a former prosecutor and Attorney General, she knows how to deal with thieves, rapists and frauds. Which is exactly what Trump is, cutting his bullshit with a scalpel will just be the entree. Three debates is a three course meal of the Hannibal Lector loving sociopath. The televised debates are meant to be a real look at the options. But in Trump's brain 🧠 debate is a chance to masturbate. Kamala will prosecute his arse on camera, while he waves his tiny dick. Watching JD ( just dumb) Vance debate Tim Walz will be a Teaching moment, as coach tells the nation his game plan. JD will spit the dummy when he realises he forgot to ever train or do homework. Then he will just show how right wing he is. Walz will use the debate to explain why Vance is a fail even as the orange boy. Need to stock up on 🍺 and 🍿.
  4. Most of those yanks with a passport would have only ever been to Canada, Mexico or Carribbean islands. Trump is toast, even he knows he is in big trouble now he has Harris and Walz to beat. He just agreed to 3 more debates in a desperate moved for votes. The big hope is enough vote to give a working majority in both houses. Home town teacher/coach/nice dad/war vet/ governor Walz is a master stroke. The perfect foil from central casting. Harris made Trump stressed, Walz made him shit himself, maybe that's the weight loss.
  5. Number one rule of bite club... We don't talk about who we ate at bite club.
  6. As they should be. Trump is Putanas arse licker. He congratulated Putin for getting a great deal on the prisoner swap. Treasonous does not seem sufficient.
  7. The brown screen if death
  8. No, the worst thing is getting from shore to my boat via a tinny full of water. I emptied it yesterday but alas the heavens had a cunning plan. It's rained very heavy for two days but stops long enough to think it's fine, then immediately dumps bucket fulls. Even poor Zoro is in hiding and he is a water bird. But a young friend piped in for a 🎏. 3 bream and 1 Jew fish, all too small but always fun.
  9. Salt is essential for life, the Sodium is used in the ion exchange for nerves. Hence low sodium can lead to cramping and in bad cases fainting, falls and loss of motor control for muscles. Too much is a bad thing. However, you can simply change from Sodium Chloride to Potassium Chloride salt for cooking. It tastes great and the body can take lots without as much problems. Food loves salt for generation of flavours in the chemical interactions of cooking. It really is a type of chemistry. If you cook, your a home chemist.
  10. For its size and weight the Smart cars are very safe. They have a hugely strong alloy space frame not a chassis that relies on thin panels for its strength. Hence light plastic panels that can be replaced. They would make a easy and excellent electric conversion. Many get Resto modded with a motorbike engine. A BMW K1200 motor at 130hp would be plenty. But some go Hayabusa and 180hp. Unlike anything else around this size, they are rear wheel drive. The Smart Sports car is excellent.
  11. The Devil intervened... He doesn't want Trump taking over
  12. If you watch the new Mad Max, check out all the vehicles. You will note some sidecar motorcycles. Why? The main designer and builder of the mad designs is a friend who spent three years making them. You may know him as Peter " bluey" Selke. He is the designer and builder of championship road and dirt racing sidecars and capable pilot/ rider. If it's a winning sidecar it's likely a Selke chassis. In my mad youth I would be a practice 🐒 on the sidecars. A few laps was like doing 10 rounds fighting a gorrilla. You have never felt G forces till you hang off a LCR with F 1 grip for dear life, helmet a inch from the track. Not for the faint of heart, a single timing mistake can mean sudden death. Youth, wasted on the young.
  13. Zoro because he uses his long beak and super extending neck like a stabbing epee. It's amazing how he can bend his neck into a compressed S shape, then dart it out straight like a hidden sheathed sword. The speed is mind-blowing as is the length it can stretch out. Graceful but deadly at high speed like a fencing champion. More surgical strike than a bludgeon. Unlike the gobble guts Cormorant that eats fish way bigger than you think possible, they aren't picky. Zoro is a precision blade, in a flash it's all over. If a fish sees it happen, its already dinner. The only thing he can't do is eat stuff bigger than his neck will allow past his voice box. You see the voice box clearly half down the neck when it's curled to a S shape. All fish are grabbed then orientated head first to swallow so fins don't get stuck on the way down. A stuck fin means death by chocking. Given his grace, beauty of his always exquisite white feathers( never anything but pure clean white) He reminds me of the pure athletic deadleness of a swash buckler with swagger. Errol flynn just didn't do him justice. Hence Zoro, but don't call him the gay blade as he is sensitive. I am amazingly lucky to live on the water in a Ramsar bird sanctuary that is world renowned, some migrate all the way from western Russia. I might be poor but for wildlife I am rich. It's also the most important breeding ground for great White Sharks and bull sharks in the east coast. But we never worry about attacks, I have even kayaked next to a big bull shark "Boris" twice and he never bothers people. We taste like shit, hence the surfer up the coast two days ago had his leg bitten off, but the shark just spat it back out. Just too much fish to worry about tasting yucky humans. We are a far bigger threat to them. Almost everyday the dolphins cruise the passage as well and most nights I hear them cruising past. A pair of white sea Eagles nest on bull island only 100 metres away, always beautiful to watch. When I get really bored I can always watch the human attempts at flight in the F-35s, but that's mainly just loud. As a military training area it's a novel experience to see man and nature fly all the time. If I don't see at least 20 different species just motoring 500 metres to the marina- I have had my eyes shut. Shush- don't tell anyone, the place is horrible, the mosquitoes are big enough to carry prey, also we are full. To be honest the most deadly predator here is humans and the bloody midges. Suffering in paradise🤐, so you buggers can commiserate. Always happy to take one for the team.
  14. Zoro has been around for two years and comes every night at sundown. You can't pat him but anything up to 4 feet away is ok. I even catch fish and squid live and place them for him to eat. He will only eat live fish. Favs are prawns, squid, garfish and then small Tailor in that order. Last week he went to grab a big prawn and a Jew fish went for it as well. I swear they both hit the same time and Zoro had his head in the big Jews mouth. Quick as a flash and they separated, scared the Jew and Zoro. Funny to watch but Zoro was a bit nervous after that.
  15. I noted the emu lager was donated. Not even saleable in hot WA.
  16. Our local matte Zoro, the greater egret. He always hangs around even sticks his head inside to say hello.
  17. Das Boot, The best sub movie ever, very real, gritty and nothing like Hollywood crap.
  18. I think Musk and all the other wanna be dictator billionaires will pitch in big time. It will not be easy.
  19. That's a Jaguar f pace. But at least it's made in Austria, so close to a Merc.
  20. I remember when saying bugger was an excuse to be beaten by the teacher.
  21. Harris was a extremely competent prosecutor and then Attorney general in California before politics. She is well qualified and has often given the hospital pass by Biden on hard issues. She should eat Trump for breakfast in any debate or forum
  22. Learning to fly, Foo fighters https://youtu.be/1VQ_3sBZEm0?si=c3-rVsjQ6slrNrl4
  23. Here is a good one, old 1986 but still great.
  24. Great for a giggle. I noted a few old folks who either did not understand or were very unhappy. Lots of great other letters on datube as well. https://youtu.be/yRUtyCzfuI0?si=Bv1DEM2CYBZdJ2K4
  25. I predict some Maga nut job will now start selling bullets with Biden engraved on them. Then they will try and shoot Joe. The Maga mob and Don will reap what the sow, sadly that will advantage them
