Colleen McCollough?

Maybe it's just me, but I can't find any way to get the new map to open at the settings and scale I want by default either on the phone or on the computer.

I don't have an issue with scrolling to a location. What annoys me is that having done that, the Perth area in my case, and zoomed in to the scale and place I want and activated useful layers like roads and railways, I can't save that setup as a favourite to open up each time. I can save the radar site as a favourite but it opens up at the main page of Australia and I have to go through the whole process again. With the old site, I can save the 128km Serpentine Radar as a default.

Those boats he's blowing up don't have the range to reach the United States so whatever they are carrying, they are not a direct threat to anyone in the USA.

The new radar images don’t seem to have the clarity of the old ones for some reason.

He's now suing his own Justice Department for $230m as compensation for past investigations into him.

BOM have just upgraded their website today, and not for the better IMO. Harder to navigate and read, radar maps are clunky and the whole thing is not very user friendly IMO. However the old site is still available here, for now at least: https://reg.bom.gov.au/

She says licensed firearm users in Australia should be able to buy a larger range of weapons, that she supports concealed carry for law abiding gun owners and is a trained pistol user herself. Sounds like she’s picked the right place to live.

He was very unhappy about that photo and complained loudly, even though he made the cover of Time magazine. When you're a star I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

Aren’t covert operations in other counties supposed to be kept secret?

Antifa is not an organisation or entity so it's hard to see how he's going to get rid of it.

It's becoming clear what Trump meant when he said, "I alone can fix it". He obviously meant `fix' as in making devious arrangements and taking corrupt actions, not what most people thought he meant when they voted for him.

Israel's relentless bombing and destruction in Gaza and displacement and killing of civilians will have created plenty of incentive for new recruits to join Hamas and other anti-Israeli factions. Israel obviously had to act after the October 7 attack by Hamas, and they were justified in trying to destroy the organisation, but in many ways it will have only made the long term problem worse.

It's electrochemical but closer to DC in that it flows in one direction.

I don't know for sure, but according to Douglas Adams in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything so tetracontadigon is probably covered as well.

I got 42 if that helps.

Seems pretty straightforward to me OT. Which bit are you having difficulty with?

Well, at least I now know how long a piece of string is. It’s quite short apparently.

Just sitting here watching Netanyahu’s master class in how to make an eloquent and articulate speech shamelessly flattering Trump. It’s pretty sickening but Trump is lapping up every word as you might expect.

The only solution I can see here is for you to go out tomorrow and get run over so you can recoup some of your investment. That should make you feel better.

That Nobel Peace Prize is looking less likely by the day.

Netanyahu has had Trump's support for months and was pretty determined to continue his attacks on Gaza until Trump finally decided Bibi had overstepped the mark, made him apologise to Qatar and with the help of the Arab nations, got him to negotiate with Hamas again. Trump certainly gets credit for that but he could have done it months ago and saved a lot of lives. Obviously getting the hostages back, stopping the bombing and getting aid in again is a big deal, but as long as Hamas exists I don't think Bibi sees it as job done. It's also in his domestic interests to keep the war going, but he's now been forced to pull back and claim victory. Once the Israeli's pull out, if they ever do, there will be infighting between Hamas, who have already said they won't disarm, and other tribal and political groups for control of the area. The hostage release is a good start, but we're still a long way from a stable region, beachside holiday resorts and the Trump Desert Sands Memorial Golf Course.

Where?

Netanyahu’s biggest mistake was bombing Qatar and not telling Trump what he was going to do. Trump Inc and Kushner have lots of business interests there and they gave him a 747 as a present as well. That made the attack personal for Trump and is probably the main reason the bombing has stopped, at least for now. The Gazans can in large part thank Trump’s thin skin and nose for grift for the current progress in that region. Still, it’s the results that count more than the motives in this case.

GON, you run the risk of being involved in a car accident every time you drive, either by causing it yourself or as the result of someone or something else causing it. Accidents happen whether you are a good driver or not. The insurance exists for good reason as has been pointed out. It’s not a scam designed to disadvantage you and you’re not owed anything. If you don’t like the system then sell the car. It’s pretty simple.
