That first sentence on this subject was just that my daughter, only yesterday, told me that the transmission selector in the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach 1 which she is intending to order has that arrangement.

Interesting that this article should pop up today. Ever since I've had a licence, I've driven cars with the turn indicator stalk on the right of the steering wheel. Since driving the Astra, which is developed from the German Opel, the stalk is on the left. I still regularly turn on the wipers when indicating a turn.

It gets weirder. I located his entry in the Members list in this forum, but AircraftPilots came up with No Record found, even though there is a Community Map Marker for him there.

I've mentioned a few times how the AI powering closed captions on TV is often hopeless. On Weekend Sunrise this morning, Channel 7 crossed to Washington a number of times, where their reporter in America, Mylie Hogan, (grand daughter of Paul Hogan), was reporting on gunshots at the White House while Trump was inside. On at least 8 occasions when the hosts referred to her, closed captions had her as Molly Hogan. Only once did it get it correct.

Boomers, or baby boomers, are the generation born between 1946 and 1964, after WWII. Baby boomers are the demographic cohort preceded by the Silent Generation and followed by Generation X.

Spot on Marty.

Coz he's not Winnie the shit.

Since I bought my new Samsung phone for under $250 when new iphones cost $1,000+ (some costing over $2000), I often don't carry it with me, it's a bit big and heavy compared to my old iphone. I rarely get calls, and when I do it's usually my daughter wanting me to pick up something at the shops. However, yesterday I went to a funeral, and forgot to put it on "Do not disturb." Wouldn't you know, halfway through the eulogy, the bloody thing goes off loud enough to almost waken the dead. I pulled it out of my pocket and the caller ID on the lock screen said "Possible Fraud". I shut it off as quick as I could.

In linguistics, homonyms are words which are either homographs—words that mean different things but have the same spelling (regardless of pronunciation)—or homophones—words that mean different things but have the same pronunciation (regardless of spelling). Using this definition, the words row (propel with oars), row (a linear arrangement) and row (an argument) are homonyms because they are homographs (though only the first two are homophones). So are the words see (vision) and sea (body of water), because they are homophones (though not homographs). I'm going to read a book tonight. I read in yesterday's paper... homographs It's time to sow the seed. The pig farmer bought a new sow. homographs It's time to sow the seed. Sew a button on it. homophones On the subject of the topic, AI, closed captions AI regularly gets it horribly wrong.

I said US ton. The McDonalds jingle is correct.

Sorry, afraid not correct.

He doesn't think he's a king, he thinks he's God. About time someone got rid of the miserable conniving basket.

Never went to uni. Like it or not, some people will never own a home. Some live in rentals all their lives. The problem is there are not enough homes to buy or rent. Who builds the rentals? Investors. And if you punish the investors with too heavy taxes, the rentals don't get built. I guess I should consider myself lucky. I bought my first house in Sydney a few months after I got married in 1972. As the manager of a bank's computer centre, I got bank finance. In 1978 I was transferred back to Melbourne, where I bought my second house. I paid that house off with my long service leave pay when the bank amalgamated and as an employee of the minor partner, I was retrenched. I had worked for the bank for 29 years. I still live in that second house, so increasing mortgage interest rates or rentals don't affect me.

No it doesn't. Take 12 houses for sale, 10 @ $1m, 2 at $600,000. The average (mean) is 10 x $1m + 2 x $600K = $11,200,000/12 = $9,333,333 The median is $1m + $600K =$1.600K / 2 = $800K
