Don't tell Jerry that!

I noticed on that unsealed road beside my place that the corrugations run from one side of teh road to the other. It's a road that only has one vehicle at a time on it so there is no need to keep to the left. Most people would drive straddling the crown. One would think that wheeltrack ruts would form and that the corrugations would be only in those ruts. I wonder why, then, that the corrugations are right across the road.

For all their expertise in hardware sales, it is strange that Bunnings' attempt to get into the British market failed. Probably it was due to cultural differences such as we have seen with the failure of Starbucks and some other US mobs in Australia.

If it's the heavy trucks that are causing the corrugations, how do you explain corrugations in minor roads? I have an unsealed road beside my place. It starts at the intersection with the sealed highway. The road is mainly used by light vehicles, and when a heavy does use it, the speed is low because they have either just turned into the road or are coming out of a dip where the creek crosses the road. Also, the distance between the crests of the corrugations is shorter than the footprint of a truck tyre. After following the conversations here, I get the feeling that no one watched the video which show a demonstration of how these corrugations form.

He pulled another swifty. He settled out of Court so that the matter would not be tossed out by the Court. The settlement included $US1776 Billion, payable from taxpayer money, plus an incredible set of conditions that prevent the IRS from going after him, his family and his mates. There is no oversight on how the money is distributed. It is the most incredible out-of-court settlement in the history of any legal system so far developed.

He's just appointed a bloke as the head of all US Intelligence Services who has no experience in Intelligence at all. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-william-pulte-acting-director-national-intelligence-tulsi-gabbar-rcna348036

Ever wonder how come corrugations form on an unsealed road? Here's a video which explains it. The video is a bit slow to start so advance to 6:30 to miss the fluff.

I think that once did say something that was the truth, but that was probably the only time.

Isn't a politcal party an alliance of like-minded persons?

I've given up believing anything that Trump is reported to say about the Middle East situation. This morning the ABC reported that he had said that he had got Israel and Hezbalah to stop shooting at each other. He also was said to have claimed that a peaceful end of the Iran situation was at hand. To my mind those were the ravings of a person with no hold on reality.

Who'd be a grain grower? In May it was too dry around here to plant. Over the past week we have had good falls of rain. Now the ground is too wet to get onto. The end of the sowing ssois fast approaching, so it may still not be possible to get a crop in.

Unfortunately a lot of people are being killed, wounded and having their futures adversely affected in the meantime.

That doesn't sound correct. I thought submarines travelled faster on the surface.

So it's now an insult to say that a bloke was hung like a donkey?

What exactly is Iran's ideology? Nobody seems to have laid it out for examination. Sure, it's dominated by a theology. How much impact have the actions of the Isrealis and the USA over the past 78 years influenced that ideology?
