Did you know that those bigger ships would be unnecessary if countries started up manufacturing their own products instead of importing the cheapest stuff that they can find, from other countries?
-
Can I blame the greens (a very minor political influence on industry) for that, as well as for the poor mining standards in other countries, too?

Aaah. At last.... an environmentally friendly way to cure the pirate problem. A solution that won't need any american weapons to achieve.

They would probably unload their bike by riding over the cab and down the bonnet.

Easier, only if they are trials riders

While I watched the EV Quickie vid, I scrolled through the comments. I am surprised there are so many dimwits out there that seem capable of typing their inane crud.

OK here is my question.... I recently had a bit of argy bargy with a Ebay seller. They didnt send everything in the order, then offered me a 50% refund. After a few polite requests they sent me an email which frightened me. How can an Ebay seller get a screen shot of MY Ebay message page? That was sent to me as a attachment, with the words: "please see this pic, regards" The pic was a screenshot of my message page, with my greeting "G'day Peter" and my username.

Thats not so silly

Don't get me wrong here, But I LIKE Donald Trump.

Hey, there has been so much outrageous stuff that he has said and done...... and I doubt that he would be proof reading it prior to endorsing it...... So are you saying that there are limits to his outrageousness? -
Well today has been exactly as forecast by BOM. Light drizzle started before daybreak, built up to a bit over 1/2 an inch by late in the day, and tapering off now (5pm). About 10,000 litres into our tanks - thanks. It's been a dry summer, and although we are good for drinking water, the subsoil moisture won't be restored by this little fall.

Is that for real? It sounds too incredible. -
Well everbody was clamoring for greater transparency in RAAus!

OK, I declare Onetrak a winner. What can we compete for next? -
No sense of humour.....

Thinking of " In The Year 2889 by Jules Verne Where he imagines a life unbelievable when he wrote it in 1889, but we live it today. Except he predicted England to become a State of USofA. But he did write it for an American newspaper, so I forgive that. -

I'd say that about a lot of recent human activity. Nothing recent can match the imagination of authors like Jules Vern, Arthur Clark, etc. All recent stories are simplistic rehashes of themes that were imagined centuries ago. -

Yes it might end badly if A.I. is relied upon to solve big issues such as climate changes.... if it prioitises its own immediate climate requirements above human requirements. Big business and politicians are alreadly leaning that way. -
The way things are going down here most folk are ready to clean the silt out of their rainwater tanks.... with a dustpan and brush.

Really, Nev! You shouldn't talk about my wife like that. I'll have you know, she scrubs up rather nice!

Seems pretty obvious. Noticed that he wasn't game to put percentages on his prediction, though. -
I dunno, but maybe Onetrack is just desperately trying to avoid cleaning out 25 years of accumulated valuables in a shed....

Thinking in terms of Pooten, North Korea, China,etc, call me naive but I can't get my head around how often one psychopath can rise to the top and then set out killing multitudes and destroying lots of stuff and still have half their people thinking they are great. It doesn't make sense. Since it has historically happened so much, I sadly expect Mr Trumpet to rise to the top in USofA.

Make the most of your fame. It probably won't last.

And that former penal colony is building a big extension cord that will hook into the hip pocet of every mainlander. We can suck money out of all youse mugs through your power bills.
