  2. Has someone who went to the Coldplay concert told you that, or was it from the Murdoch press?
  3. Sorry guys, but most of the posts on this thread just seem to be a bit of abo-bashing for the sake of it. So a people who, from their point of view, have been invaded, subjected to laws they don't understand from an authority they don't recognise, and subjugated/slaughtered/raped for 200 years, make a bit of money here and there where they can. Who cares? Meanwhile, corporations like Google (Alphabet) and Facebook (Meta) steal every bit of data about you that you produce and monetize it. Other corporations involved in mining knowingly add to the climate crisis, poison aquifers and leave massive damage to the land in the name of paying shareholders. To me it's evident that the harm done by major corporations is magnitudes greater than a bit of petty pilfering by some Aboriginal organisations. It's like worrying about a small scratch on your foot while the corporations are busily amputating your leg.

    That's a bit simple isn't it? Never seen any bear in the desert, but especially not a polar one.
  7. I liked Dick Smith's matches - Dick Heads.
  8. Reverse psychology?
  9. The ad should say "AU model" or similar if it's an Australian phone. My son got done like that. He bought a Samsung (not sure what model) new from an Ebay seller. 3 months later there was a bright green line down the screen. I tried to get it fixed under warranty by Samsung Australia, they didn't want to know about it because it was a US model. Contacted Samsung US, they didn't want to know me as I wasn't the registered purchaser - the arsehole selling them on Ebay was. Contacted the seller - no response. Basically he could have taken the phone back and as the registered US buyer, got it replaced under warranty. But he couldn't be bothered. Contacted Ebay and put in a complaint, but they wouldn't even let me change my rating, so he's probably still flogging US stock. So my son is stuck with the line on the screen, because it would cost about $350 to replace the screen and the phone was only $400.

  11. True, and then use the hydrogen for generation. I may well be wrong but I think the range and lifespan of EV makes hydrogen cars unnecessary.
  12. EVs are already mass produced. I think hydrogen cars may be the Betamax to EV's VHS.

    Our neighbour's son is Inigo. They also have an Oscar and a Felix, and coincidentally, 2 other families in our street also have an Oscar and a Felix, in that age order.
  15. Apparently Obama once said there were three things that he wished the US had that Australia does... Medicare, gun control and compulsory voting.

  18. I'm looking forward to retirement. Work takes up too much time that could be better used on meaningful activity.

  24. Jerry I thought your post was thoughtful and logical. (However, anyone knowing me and my atheistic outlook would probably say "yeah, but you would!!")
