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.

If you think that the things will change on 4th November if the Dems gain a majority in either House, you are wrong. The winners of local elections will not take up their seats until 3rd January 2027. Between November and February, each State has to confirm and certify the winners of each seat within it. This can takes weeks and you can be sure that both Parties will be calling for recounts in close seats. How close? How long is a piece of string in the case of teh Republicans. After each State has confirmed the results in its seats, a certificate is sent to the Clerk of the House. Then in January, all those who have been elected congregate in the House they have been elected to and the Clerk Clerk calls the roll, giving a seat to the person called. That's why that ruckus happened on the 6th January 2021. It could happen again. Here's a video that give a description of what Trump and his cohorts could do if the Republicans cop a beating.

Albo rescued me! Just did some shopping at ALDI and didn't have to acknowledge that there ws a surcharge for using plastic.

Interesting figures which few Down-Southers would realise. Re the Constitution Sections 121 and 124. Both have big hurdle words - 'may' and 'consent'. It takes a lot to get over them, especially when Sect 124 means that Lower Queensland would lose a motza in royalties etc.

Regarding Katter's idea. How would the government for a State in that area firstly establish the structures necessary to run things like health, education, law? Secondly, how would it obtain the money to do these things? It is idealistic, but not practical to create a new State in an area that does not have the population to carry out teh necessary functions of government. I think that's why Western Australia shelved the idea. Besides, I don't think it would be permissable under the Constitution.

But back then they wer giving away the fuel when you compare price per gallon then and now (and allowing for inflation).
