    Quickies part 2

    Probably wasn't an issue on Jeffrey Epstein's plane.
  2. The only people Trump likes are billionaires and dictators. He will be led around by the nose by Putin and anyone willing to stroke his massive ego. The only possible good he could do for the USA is if they realize what a terrible mistake they made in electing him and steer away from criminals in future. Unfortunately, they already knew who he is and STILL elected him, so that seems unlikely.
  3. What, they existed for 60,000 / 40,000 years, but would have suddenly declined in the last 200 if we hadn't swooped in to save them? I agree we can't change the past. Just don't know why people get fired up about giving them the occasional handout when there are so many more egregious bad behaviours by the corporate world which seem to go unremarked.
  4. So it's not a property tax, it's an increase in tax on super over $3m, which in most cases is an entirely fair thing. They might have to do a carve out for farmers but they'll have to do it carefully.
  5. Source? Jeez they can't even get sensible changes to the CGT discount through without losing an election, how do you think that one would fly? Someone's making stuff up.

    Well, I think it's pretty strange that you're trying to print "FEEL" full-page size, but I feel that's the answer.
  7. What a black day. I'm gutted. The US is officially the stupidest country on earth.

  10. Has someone who went to the Coldplay concert told you that, or was it from the Murdoch press?
  11. 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.
  15. I liked Dick Smith's matches - Dick Heads.
  16. Reverse psychology?
  17. 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.

  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  23. Apparently Obama once said there were three things that he wished the US had that Australia does... Medicare, gun control and compulsory voting.
