Nah - wasn't as funny the second time...

I've bolded the appropriate bit. Yes - defense contractors, defense procurement, a chance to get a defense contract. Regardless of the validity or not of the protester's claims, the fact remains that protesters should have been anticipated so the choice of location would have made a difference.

I was about to say - generally the content Youtube wants to show you is highly related to your prior searches. So if you want to look up Idaho Milkmaids without having them appear in your Youtube list, do it in Incognito mode.

I don't know why you think most people would disagree with you Peter. It's a weapons convention. The general public is not going to buy them and in most cases has no interest in seeing them, therefore it should have been held, as you say, on a locked military base in the middle of woop woop with no publicity.

I don't know who Paul Murray is, but Sky News should be sued for false advertising in their name.

They should paws and think about that statement.

You picked up Bindi Irwin in a thong? There's life in the old emu yet! 😁

I haven't seen the debate, but ABC is reporting that Kamala knocked it out of the park. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-11/live-trump-harris-presidential-debate-latest/104328002 Trump appeared and sounded angry, told lots of lies (no surprise) and was pulled up by moderators and fact checkers. Hope this solidifies more support for Kamala in the swing states.

Nice looking cabinets Jerry. I want to do ours with drawers like that.

So... Can't they stick a remote control and a couple hundred kg of C4 in the tanks they've captured, and send them back?

Careful, you'll give Octave PTSD.

Welcome News. I think we're mainly blokes so it'll be good to get some female perspective.

Who, Tony A bot? Quel horreur!

Maybe people were more trusting back then because scams weren't as common - but some cheques were still rubber, so you'd think some proof of liquidity would be required before such a massive purchase. Especially as it was so long ago - an amount like that would buy several houses 30 years ago (average Australian house price was $184k - in places like Tassie, far less - I bought my first house for $70k around then). There are people who win multiple times, I'm no statistician but I believe the odds are exactly the same each time no matter how many times you've won before - so while it appears strange, it's probably not.

Ummm... what sort of idiot would take a cheque for half a million from someone wanting to buy lotto tickets? That sets off so many alarm bells. Sorry for the newsagent who went broke, but if they're that gullible, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

I bought a Motorola G84 for $300. They're still at $299 from Hardly Normal / JB Hifi etc. Honestly for what I do with it I can't tell the difference from the previous Samsung S5 or whatever it was. Size is roughly the same too. Just works better and now that it uses wifi for calls and text, it actually works at our place (the previous one didn't!)

He was just ahead of his time. I really liked the policies Bill brought to the election but unfortunately the majority didn't. However with the housing crisis people are starting to look at what he suggested and realise it had merit.

Bob Clifford (owner of Incat catamarans here in Hobart) knows a thing or 2 about hitting rocks. In 1994 he managed to park one of his 40 million dollar cats on Black Jack Rocks in the Derwent. I believe a bit of a party was going on at the time.

Well, she's one hell of a child prodigy. Not many 14yo's out there who know the ins and outs of everything from motorbike engines to 727's.

Those Russian media executives were funneling money to conservative pundits to make videos. I don't think they were encouraging people to vote for the Democrats.
