Some modern jazz, and some modern 'classical' sounds to me like random din and discords. I'm just not sophisticated enough to appreciate them. I love most kinds of music. Just don't play country or western. Or opera for same reason as OT's.

Which kind of jazz can they do? I once worked alongside a capable muso - when I asked him to play jazz, he said nah, I'm not that good!

That was before Joh came into power and stabilised Queensland.

PS. Sorry but I exceeded the ten line attention span of forums.

Here is a new one, allegedly with bipartisan support, which makes me suspicious.... "Labor will introduce a bill to parliament on Monday to change electoral laws, with caps on donations and campaign spending." (From ABC news) Sounds great in theory. But it only limits Party and Candidate donations and spending. The USA has PAC system whereby an arms length organisation gathers money to pay for advertising, and not being part of the party, choose to pay for their own advertising to 'help' someone to get elected. And no lifetime limit for candidates.

Every system has it's weaknesses, Spacey. Linux is less likely to be affected by most hackers. But it still can be done. There are a couple of documented hacks (compared to very many microsoft ones). And Linux can sometimes accidentally spread microsoft malware (to microsoft computers) that didn't affect the linux computer at all.

The rampant roller is gathering steam way before the starting flag falls. The Two a-Egos are looking better organised than the last time. Interesting times indeed!

All very well as long as you can spread it and ovelay it with fines to fill the gaps. How are you planning to compact it to stop it washing away?

That'll stop the damn gate slamming in the wind. Now what else can I fix for ya?

Something for OME to celebrate. His dry spell might be coming to an end.

OK That's random.

I'll say again. Had Kamala come out promising electoral refom and ending armament support for Netanyahu, she would have won. But she had no strong agenda, and the voters wanted decisive action - any kind would do.

No offense was intended, I was just playing with the words... in general

All too true, OT. However, with regard to attempts to restrict or control corruption.... I don't see Australia having oligarchs an the same league as the Russian ones. Our efforts, although often laughable, do some good.

Will he make the in China?

Imagine the headlines.... Muskovite invents THE CARAVAN !

They already have trailer parks. Aren't they already full of 'tiny homes'? What is the difference?

On average, poorly. Just look how few generals we have

It's only corruption if I'm not allowed to be in on it.

Yes, I agree, this is how democracy works. No point in the minority complaining about the result. However I cannot really comment on whether DJT's policies are of any value. So far, I do not see any reliable statement of what the new policies will be. Sure there were many rather vague election catch cries, but based on DJT's past activities, his 'policies' can be quite plastic. Worse still, there has been no statement of how the suggested radical restructuring of all bureaucracy (the deep state) will be achieved. So far I only hear his destructive intentions, with no shining light of benefits to the electorate. Can anyone enlighten me on how the new government of america is going to actually make the claimed miracles happen?

Don't get all depressed about OME

Applying logic to american politics is as futile as hoping for a predictable outcome when applying logic to a partner's choices.

There you go, trying to apply logic to american politics.

Remember, half of the american voters are not at all upset. Add to that, the big bunch who weren't bothered enough to vote. That only leaves a minority who are upset about the coming 4 years. I suspect other countries are more concerned than the average american.

And replacing Mini Minor alloy sumps.
