Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a teen, has died by suicide after troubling Instagram posts. Her family confirmed her death in a statement to NBC News, saying: 'It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. 'She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Giuffre claimed she was sexually abused by Prince Andrew at the behest of Epstein's associate, jailed British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, when she was just 17. The Duke of York has denied the allegation, as has Maxwell - who is a convicted sex offender - while Epstein died in a New York prison in 2019.

WASHINGTON -- The merchandise website of the Trump Organization is now selling hats that say "TRUMP 2028," which appears to be a spin on Donald Trump's signature red "Make America Great Again" hat, after the president teased running for a third term in office earlier this year. The hat, which appeared on the site on Thursday, is being sold for $50, and the website adds that the hats are "Made in America." Trump addressed speculation about running for president again in a March phone call with NBC News and said he was "not joking" about a third term, adding, "It is far too early to think about it." When asked whether he has been presented with plans to allow him to seek a third term, Trump said, "There are methods which you could do it." He included a scenario in which Vice President J.D. Vance would run at the top of the 2028 ticket with Trump as his running mate, only for Trump to assume the Oval Office after the election. When reporters followed up on Trump comments during a gaggle on Air Force One, Trump downplayed what he had said. "I don't even want to talk about it. I'm just telling you I have had more people say, please run again," Trump said. "I said we have a long way to go before we even think about that." However, the Constitution's 22nd Amendment states that no one can serve as president for more than two four-year terms. Legal and election experts previously told ABC News an attempt to win another four years as president would be an unprecedented breach of the 22nd Amendment. "Trump may not want to rule out a third term, but the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution does," said David Schultz, a professor at Hamline University and an expert in constitutional law. The amendment states, in part, that "no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice." Democrats seized on the release, posting on their rapid response X account that the hat seems to confirm "his fourth run for president."

Add mudslinging and lying, like all other elections.

Cricketer Keith Stackpole has died aged 84, from a suspected heart attack.

That's a flat earthers idea of the earth. Look at the distance between east Russia and Alaska.

It's a matter of self control. Sometimes only a credit card will do, then you pay it off straight away. For example, the pay stations at parking stations such as shopping centres, hospitals and airports do not accept debit cards. My credit cards (two of them) both have small credit balances, less than ten dollars. It's rare that I buy stuff online, and don't have a paypal account. Recently I bought some hearing amplifiers, like in-ear hearing aids, from the US. True hearing aids cost a few hundred, some local ones, advertised on TV, cost $240 or more. Mine cost A$159 and are working fine - better than the hearing aids I got from the audiologists. Paid it off immediately, no interest.

From what I understand, but I'm ready to be corrected if I'm wrong, you download an ap to your smartphone. You register your bank account on the ap. Then, you plug the car into the charger, use the ap to start and stop charging, and the ap debits your nominated account by direct debit. There are a couple of providers, so you would need an ap for each one, because you don't know which one will be where you need to recharge. Just like having a Macca's ap and a KFC ap for tap n go. It's getting a bit much for us old farts.

Or moronic Biden.

While other leaders wrote long epitaphs to the Pope on his passing, Trump posted on Truth Social - Like launching a ship.

I know Nev doesn't like the Daily Mail, but here is a report of that meeting. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14631273/Pope-Franciss-final-meeting-Awkward-moment-JD-Vance-condemning-Trump-administrations-treatment-migrants-pontiffs-public-encounter.html?ito=social-facebook

Poor guy. One of the last people he saw was J.D.Vance.

It's hard to determine how many charging stations there are in Australia. There are websits and count tables, but they do not show when the tables were created. The web page may have an update date, but no indication as to what was changed. The table I found just now is below. There are maps on the web which you can zoom into to find charging stations near you or your journey and destination.

I went to the chemist (Chemist Warehouse) with a repeat prescription authorisation (the yellow one) showing a issue date of 09/06/24, so still current, and number of repeats left, 5. They refused to fill the repeat because it did not have the original prescription (blue) attached.

I was watching an old episode of QI with Stephen Fry on Foxtel today. They are all very old episodes. The topic revolved around genitalia etc. One of the information gems Stephen revealed was that if you equate a single sperm to a single bit in a data stream, the average male ejaculation (if there is such a thing), contains the equivalent of 57.4 terrabytes. To show how old these episodes are, episodes on the daily timeslot are hosted by Sandi Toksvig who took over from Stephen.. Last night's episode had Jerry Springer as a guest panelist. He died in April 2023.

You did see the street sign on the left didn't you?
