Grumpy Old Nasho

Another name for that is "Feast & Famine Variable". It's much better than guessing. I discovered it in 1979, It's like cracking the Enigma code, but no where near as complex. The F&F Variable predicts disasters before they happen, provided the disasters have occurred before, for which they then become "precedents" for future reading of the predictions given up by the Variable's plot line, and information accompanying it.

Trump is now Albo's hero.

Albo and Kevin would disagree with you.

It'll be good if he gets a third term, so he can keep restoring the United States to make it great again without the extreme influence of the far-left and the likes of George Soros.

Not if I was facing you. All those scaredy cats were facing the human statue and still jumped out of their skins.

Many of those fraidy cats are allowed to vote.

Major party voters and their kids ...

Can we ship the major parties off to that place?

Trump is preventing drug runners entering the United States.

I had my first cataract surgery the other day, can see a lot better but cost a heap. The second eye will be done under Public in December by the same surgeon.

Are you guys died-in-the-wool Labor voters? - Looks like it.

Time for big cull I'd say.

On the Mainland in 2024 24.71 people 45.16 million kangaroos

Our rates have already gone up, but we're seeing nothing for the extra money. Slashing can't cost that much, I've seen it done before with only 3 personnel and a heavy vehicle with the slashing equipment, if I remember correctly.

The thing is, if Councils don't do enough to minimize roos on the roads, the Councils should pay. It's their property and the onus is on them to make the roads safe to use. Pot holes and roos are proliferating with a lack of action by Councils. They could slash the vegetation both sides of back roads. That would make an enormous difference, the roos that jump out, are nearly always hidden in that vegetation.

The last one I encountered, just the other week, was panicked by a speeding car coming the other way. I was doing my usual 60k/h but the other car spooked the roo, a big male, and it crossed between us. Luckily, neither of us hit it but it was close. I estimated that I would have hit it had I been going faster, say 80 instead of 60, in the 100k/h stretch. This was on the narrow hilly winding road I have to go on to get to town, before I join the main Highway. The lesson for me is to slow down even more if the odd car coming in from opposite direction looks like it's speeding.

The roos need to be culled, there's just too many of them around where I live. It's not uncommon to see a dozen dead roos on the way to town. There's Council signs beside the roads, but that's it, they do nothing else to stop the carnage.

I've collided with four kangaroos so far, damaging my two vehicles. Can I sue the Local Council? If you were to say it's the responsibility of the motorist to avoid kangaroos, then how can it be done? I did an experiment, which entailed driving at different slow speeds to see what the kangaroos would do. Anything over 70k/h on a back road is high risk and very likely to hit a roo that jumps out onto the road. At just below 70k/h, the risk is much lower, but the risk is still there. So I kept going with the experiment and found that 60-65k/h was the fastest speed allowable to avoid hitting kangaroos altogether. I observed what the roos do a various speeds. If you're going fast in a 100k/h zone, roos jump out onto the road right in front of you and you'll hit them. If you're doing around 75k/h, you have a better chance of avoiding a roo, but one could still surprise you if it's unseen and jumps out of tall grass. At 60-65k/h, the roos will nearly always hesitate and stand still, or jump back into the bush from the side of the road. As funny as it sounds, roos need time to think. This slower speed gives them that time. I have not hit anymore Kangaroos since I've adapted my driving to that slower speed on back roads. Traffic whizzes past me, and they cause all the road kill, not me anymore. Wombats are also at risk, they run out in front of vehicles. Again, the slower speed is necessary. A photo I took of someone else's road kill near my village ....

Trump is getting rid of Antifa.

Yeah look how much money we spent on the Vietnam war .. and it was all wasted. Hope you've never voted for the major parties, I never have.

It doesn't pay to be muslim. They ought to change to another religion.

And look how we've ended up.

Trump's da man in the Middle East now - can't deny that.

What is the electricity in the Human brain, AC or DC?

Nahh, Robodebt didn't catch on, so nothing else "Robo" will either.
