So, to Trump and his Isreali mate, it's not a case of war halting elections. It's a case of elections halting wars. How sick is it that both these war criminals have decided to scale down their military actions until the elections which may or may not keep them in power are held?

I reckon that it should be made illegal to drive a motor vehicle into flowing water. Just look at the news from Queensland of the number of rescues of people who had driven into fast flowing water. The example I saw only involved the driver, but how many time in recent years have we heard of both driver and passenger being drowned? Not only the lives of the vehicle occupants, but the lives of the rescuers are put at risk. I believe that the death of a passenger after a driver drives into flowing water should be dealt with as Involuntary Manslaughter. This is a homicide where there is no intention to kill, resulting instead from criminal negligence or an unlawful and dangerous act where a reasonable person would realize the act exposes someone to a risk of serious injury. Am I being too harsh? I think that through the publicity of the results of driving into flowing water, a normal person should know that such an act is dangerous. Harming another person by an act that is dangerous is accepted as being wrong. We know that the Law evolves to deal with new situations. This practice of driving vehicles into flowing water is one of those new situations.

Which fortune-telling meterologist told you that? I won't believe it rained until I see the dampness in the gauge.

Think of the number of political Parties we have, and the number of Independents. With that number of differing opinions as to what is best for the Country, is it any wonder that there is no consensus? In this country, each of us has the Right to an opinion. One can amalgamate with those holding similar opinions. One can debate with those who hold differing opinions. The trouble is that just about everyone correctly identifies the problems to be solved. The conflict is in the way to solve them.

Putin's Pinocchio - a lying puppet.

Would you believe it? About an hour ago the sky close by to the North has covered with clouds as black as. For a moment the wind came up and a few drops of rain fell. By 'few', I mean count them on one hand. Now the clod have moved away. I guess they are teh clouds hat are gong to dump on Port Stephens, cause that's the direction they are heading.

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'.

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).

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?

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.

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?

Ukraine betrayed for 300,000 tonnes of diesel. One piece of silver equates to 10,000 tonnes of fuel.

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.

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.

Typo correction: However, she's moved up in the world and is now on TV...

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!

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.

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.

Guess she didn't make it to the second episode of The Apprentice.

Red, I wish you wouldn't post links in this format. Too often one cannot watch them to the end because FB butts in.

That's your intelligent opinion. Are we dealing with an intelligent electorate?

We grew up comparing the fuel consumption of vehicles in terms of volume per unit of distance - mpg or l/100km. From those figures we could work out how much it cost to travel a given distance. Now we are given the "fuel capacity" of an EV in kiloWatthours (kWh). Shouldn't electricity consumption figures be quoted in km/kWh? Here's an example: A vehicle can go 80 kms on a 30 kWh battery. That's 2.6 kms/kWh. One kWh costs, on average 30 cents. That's about 12 cents per km. Yes, I know. If you have your own solar generation the electricity allegedly costs nothing (ignoring set up costs for the solar system). But go away from home and you have to pay.

Don't be too sure of a Democrat landslide in the mid-terms. The idea of that happening is based partly in polling. Over the last three Presidential elections the polling has been way off compared to its accuracy before about 2008. There is a number of factors causing that. This video describes some of those factors. This video discusses the topic. The presentation is unbiased.

Yes. The person is a paraplegic, having been shot through the spine during the incident. Wouldn't look good shooting a cripple. Shades of the SS. Not the usual image of the condemned man backed up against a wall, being offered a last cigarette and a blindfold.

Sat what you like about Wikipedia, but at least it provides the references for the information included in posts. However, there is a rumour that AI agents are altering some entries. I think that id you want basi information on a topic, Wikipedia is pretty reliable.
