    Not quite.
  3. Interviewer to Albo: "Did you compile a dirt sheet on Helen Haines?" Albo: "Helen Haines is a local member who stood up for her community."

    They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom.
  5. Tesla Cybertruck cancelled for Australia, deposits to be refunded https://7news.com.au/motoring/tesla-cybertruck-cancelled-for-australia-deposits-to-be-refunded-c-23063840
  6. Rush on wise guy, hell ain't full yet. The speed limit doesn't say you have to travel that fast, it's the maximum you are allowed to travel at.
  7. Another thing that gets my goat when driving, is the Peter Brocks who pass you on the left. It's easy to go over the limit when you drive right on the speed limit, particularly when there are rises and depressions in the road. So I drive at about 5 km under the limit, whether it is 60, 70 or 80, and in unsignposted streets, the assumed limit is 50. So when you are driving along a road that has one lane plus a parking or bus lane, these leadfoots pass you on the left any time there is a gap in the parked cars, at speeds well over the limit, only to be stopped at the next set of lights, where you catch up with them. They gain absolutely nothing. And you often have to brake hard when they pull out in front of you from behind a parked car.
  8. Someone has been using AI to show what a number of actors would look like if they were female. Here are 3 examples.
  9. If you can't see the road surface through the water, how do you know the road hasn't been washed away like this? One of the worst locations in the Melbourne area is York St South Melbourne. The building with the diamond roofline is the South Melbourne Market. After every decent rain this is a common scene.
  10. Tom Skerritt, the Emmy-winning actor who embodied a solid, wry authority figure, whether as a flight instructor in Top Gun, a tough-but-fair sheriff on TV’s Picket Fences or the doomed captain of Alien, has died. He was 93. Skerritt died Wednesday of natural causes, his family said in a statement.
  11. Independent politician Helen Haines has lost her second leg following the horrendous attack on her at Wangaratta. They keep saying this is the first political attack in Australia, but ALP leader Arthur Calwell survived an assassination attempt in 1966.
  12. I have had two Facebook accounts. The first used my first and last names, and was used to keep in touch with family, friends and former colleagues. Meta closed it down, possibly because I made too many derogatory comments about Trump. I opened another account using my middle name as surname, but that was also eventually closed down by Meta. However, when my wife died, her account was not closed, so I use it. I have not linked anyone to it and have not made any posts. Her former colleagues are still linked and they would question how she could be posting to it. I use it to get things like the picto-grams and geometry puzzles I have posted in the Brain Teaser thread, jokes I post in Quickies Pt II and silly photos posted on this site. When I left school 62 years ago, I had failed Leaving Certificate, now known as HSC, so knew nothing about new maths. I had never learnt about BODMAS or PEMDAS, and didn't know about factorials, denoted by an exclamation mark (5 x 3!). I only learnt about these through Facebook. Many people rely on Youtube for all sorts of information. I visit it occasionally for videos of specific things, but keep up to date with Facebook, particularly what lots of Americans think about Trump. There are also lots of comedy reels, such as Whose Line Is It Anyway, and other comedy clips. You don't have to post on FB, but you have to have an account to see much of the stuff on there. You don't even need to use your name. I had one friend who called himself Russ T Nails, another colleague who used their initials, Kay Elle Ess.
  13. You obviously don't have a Facebook account.
