  1. We know. No one’s taking it seriously.
  2. A real Bigfoot would have just taken the cooler.
  3. This is Trump commiserating with the US Women's Soccer team on their loss to Sweden. And a third of the country wants this moron to be president again!
  4. Very small and belated. Had there been any way he could have legally done what Trump wanted he would have, even if he personally believed Trump had lost.
  5. Plus they have the electoral college system which distorts the outcome of the election anyway.
  6. I voted for the Magpie based on the question asked, but I agree that the raven's call is distinctly Australian. It always makes me think of the dry and desolate outback even though we have plenty of them around here.
  7. Let me guess. If your answer to the question is `I don't know' ....
  8. Unfortunately, Trump still has plenty of support from Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and a bunch of other misfits. Trump doesn't have a good word to say about McConnell (or his wife). McConnell didn't get along with Trump either, but was willing to let him off the hook on the impeachments because his priority was keep the Democrats out of power and make sure the Supreme Court was conservative. He had no scruples when it came to manipulating the system to achieve what he wanted. Unfortunately it seems that he has now has some serious health issues which no one would wish on him, but I can't see that he will be there much longer.
  9. I misread `rums' as `nuns' the first time.
  10. I still see no reason to sign up to any of those scam merchants. You don't miss what you don't use.
  11. Best not to wear pants as a cultural accessory.
  12. There are plenty of towns and places that have always had aboriginal names, so it’s not as though that cultural heritage has been lost or ignored. WA has lots of examples. But I can’t see the need to use aboriginal alternative names for our capital cities at every opportunity for the sake of being politically correct.
  13. Which beans do you use and what is a roasting profile? I assume there’s more to it than just whacking them in a moderate oven for 15 mins.
  14. Apparently enough to feed 250,000 people for a year.
  15. Interesting article about administrative policy plans quietly being developed by pro-Trump Republicans in the event that he (or some other Republican) wins in 2024. https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/a-second-trump-administration-readies-for-power-20230714-p5dobx
  16. As a structural engineer, I approve this statement.
  17. There are plenty in the Portland area (Vic). Lots on the golf course. I’ve seen one on the side of the road on the outskirts of the town. They retrieved one from the end of the breakwater a while ago and my parents had them in their backyard.
  18. Something to keep you motivated:
  19. The disconnect was between the schemer's plans to recover alleged debts and the law.
  20. Phil Perry started this thread originally. Is he still around?
  21. Or the other place. At least he can look out the windows to see where he’s going. Obviously a VFR flight.
  22. As the war drags on, I'm becoming more pessimistic about Ukraine ever getting the Russians out of their country unless something happens to break what is now almost a stalemate. Unless Putin gets deposed by his own side, he now has time on his side to wait for the West's resolve to slowly diminish as they run out of ammunition and equipment themselves. It's now been 500 days, and Ukraine's counteroffensive is obviously going nowhere fast due to thousands of mines, WW1 style Russian defences and lack of air superiority. Meanwhile Russia keeps sending over barrages of cheap drones that require expensive missiles to intercept and which can't stop all of them. It's not a good situation.
  23. Interesting assessment of what is likely to happen if Trump gets re-elected: https://theconversation.com/politics-with-michelle-grattan-author-bruce-wolpe-on-the-shocking-consequences-for-australia-of-a-trump-24-win-209138
  24. Just what Twitter needs - a makeover.
