  1. Given what is already known in the public sector about Trump's finanacial and sexual behaviour, could the response to anything Putin could publish be anything more than,'Ahh, yeah'.
  2. Here's your answer: Supercheap Auto is owned by Super Retail Group Limited (ASX: SUL), a publicly listed Australian retail company. Repco: Owned by Genuine Parts Company (GPC) through GPC Asia Pacific, a large American automotive parts giant. Autobarn Australia is owned by the automotive aftermarket company Bapcor Limited. Bapcor also owns other well-known automotive networks, including Autopro, Burson Auto Parts, Midas, and Opposite Lock. Pedders Suspension & Brakes is a 100% Australian, family-owned company managed by the Pedder family (until they sell out to an American hedge fund mob).
  3. And this is supposed to be a grain producing area! I was speaking to a friend who lives about 10 kms south of my place. The other night they got about 3mm while I didn't even get humidity! There is a major creek which runs through the southern side of my place. It drains quite a large catchment. I have mentioned before that storms seem to move along the southern bank of the creek, but don't cross over that few hundred metres to moisten my place. Isn't supposed to rain heavily from this coming November?
  4. Its bloody frustrating to see the sky covered with white, puffy cumulus clouds which form during the day and not get a drop of rain from them. It's not summer yet, but my place is Sahara dry.
  5. I'm astounded by the civil violence in Europe over teh weekend. What is concerning is that all the protests seemed to relate to various components and effects of Cost of Living. Hs this become a common thread across the Globe?
  6. Ukraine betrayed for 300,000 tonnes of diesel. One piece of silver equates to 10,000 tonnes of fuel.
  7. I thought that it was Don Burke.. I thought the nose and the thin face were convincing. I could not find a better picture than this.
  8. Here's a thought. If a Democrat won the Presidency in 2028, and a first action was to rescind all Trump's Executive Orders that cut out the money to welfare programmes the Yanks used to enjoy, where would the money come from? Trump has driven the US Government so deep in debt that such a reversal would not seem possible.
  9. Typo correction: However, she's moved up in the world and is now on TV...
  10. Credit where credit is due. Karoline was very good doing the job she was hired to do. She was quick witted and alwys seemed to be up to the minute with the messages she delivered. You could often pick some little white lies, such as when she said she had spoken to Trump earlier in the day. Since he has a reputation for not getting going early, her statement was most likely a porky. Howeve, she's move up in the world and is not on TV and likely to get her own show!
  11. We all know that heavier than air vehicles are real. Haven't all of us here broken free from the bonds of earth in a plane? The thing that prevents general transport a la The Jestsons is how does one quickly stop a moving vehicle the is in an almost fritionless environment. Our ground vehicles can be stopped because their rotating wheels can be made to stop rotating by brake systems. It's not the friction between the tyre and the surface that stops a ground vehicle. It is the wheel no longer turning on its attachment to teh vehicle.
  12. I hope that my reasoning is correct, bit if one goes from zero kph to 96.5606 kph in 0.81 seconds, that is an acceleration of 12G. Humand black out around 8G.
  13. Guess she didn't make it to the second episode of The Apprentice.
  14. Red, I wish you wouldn't post links in this format. Too often one cannot watch them to the end because FB butts in.
  15. That's your intelligent opinion. Are we dealing with an intelligent electorate?
