In these issues, there is no solution to the debates. That's my reason to bail from this thread.

I thought that was what a wife did. Then I got married.

I thought the potato was the starch component.

You are sounding a bit like our tech bros with that comment..... Say what you like no matter what? I feel that a degree of self censorship is good. Moderate debate csn be constructive even if it causes a degree of discomfort. But you can't expect people to be strictly factual and unemotional. These issues become emotional - that's when the fights start.

That might have been me. I was trying to limit my premature negativity. Yes, now he has officially taken control of the nikko, we can start being judgemental. Shall I start a new thread for "Curious acts by political Leaders" ? It might be dominated by a small number of world leaders, but so be it

I didn't see the implcation. Further, she stated the obvious. Mr Trump is proud to be seen as a person who 'does things differently'. And he clearly does do things differently. Folk who admire him would agree with the statement, as would folk who don't admire him.

Sorry Nev. No offense intended. From what I have observed over the years, Ms Wong sets a rare high standard in our country's politics. As I mentioned, Penny Wong did well to be as diplomatic as possible. She was meeting with a man who is alleged to easily bear a grudge if offended.

I don't believe you. If she had a foreign affair, I would have read about it in the papers. (ONLY JOKING, OF COURSE)

I see that differently. I think she was being diplomatic. And it is not her job to stir up foreign leaders. There is nothing to be gained from poking the bear.

The poor general level of education shows. His followers don't know any better than to believe him.

That's usually because tey are nearly flat. Carbon zinc cells are nominally 1.5v but gradually drop - they do not have a good discharge curve. At 1.2v they still have a little life left. Other chemistry types have better initial voltage stability followed by a fast drop in voltage at end of life.

Sure, we are ten years behind the US but we are constantly trying to catch up. The fantastic four (tech bros) are surpassing the old types of news media.

Of course you would - it's not ambiguous - with the battery out it'll be correct only once a day.

My manager was a stickler for punctuality. One day I came into work early and 'borrowed' his trusty electronic wall clock. I turned around a vital gear, which resulted in reversing the clock. I put it back up before he arrived. Four times that day, he climbed up on a chair to reset the clock before he realised there was something wrong with it. And he never worked out why his staff were all smiling at him all day.

I see we are in a time of oligarc change. Until now, the Merdok empire has been the primary president/PM maker. That is coming to an end. A quick look at those seated in the front row of the most recent media success (the inauguration), tells me that the new controllers of electoral consciousness, are the electronic tech media bosses.
