Making America Irrelevant Again

Well they couldn't really say "Here LIES Donald Trump", because he's been doing that all his life.

Far more useful than the real thing

Not yet. I was distracted by other things last weekend.

Man, AI fails again! OT didn't post anything rude. This time.

Nah, we're full

Nobody puts Baby in the corner

Tecumseh I think. At least that was on the air filter I replaced.

Ah, 14hp means 14 Hamster Power? Thanks gents!

Hey, Hoping the brains trust can help me out here. We inherited an MTD Yard Machines 14hp ride on from my father in law about 10 years ago. Up to now it's been really reliable, even though I only use it about 4 times a year it starts first time. Anyway, I was using it a couple of weeks ago and the drive part stopped. Without thinking, I tipped it on its side to work out why, discovered a broken spring, and went to the shed to see if I had a replacement the right size. You can probably guess. Yes I got distracted by something else, then it was time to make dinner etc, and before I knew it three days had passed before I remembered the mower on its side in the paddock. The oil flooding the air filter didn't do it much good. I cleaned out as much oil as I can get to, got a new air filter, topped up the oil, put fuel in and charged the battery. Now, even with "Start ya bastard", it doesn't start. Any ideas about what else I could try, before giving up and selling a kidney to get it fixed? Thanks!

Martin Bryant who killed 35 people at Port Arthur was not a Muslim. Neither was that, unfortunately Australian, cock sucker who killed 51 innocent people in New Zealand. Don't be an idiot. Murderous arseholes are not restricted to one culture or religion.

Doesn't sound like navigating London is very Zen-like.

The gun lobby will bitch and moan about this, just as they did in 1996 when John Howard did the only good thing he did as PM. Their and the opposition's reasoning that "guns aren't the problem, anti-Semitism is the problem" is false. Yes anti-Semitism is a big problem, but so is white supremacism, Islamophobia, sovereign citizens, organised crime, and a whole bunch of other nut jobs who believe that violence against those who disagree with you is a good idea. Yes the government needs to work on all those issues but it also needs to ensure those nut jobs find it VERY difficult to lay their hands on a firearm. Because if you are down that path, I think it would be easier to kill at a distance than get up close and stab a bunch of people. Especially if you're a fat bastard like those losers who carried out the Bondi attack.

That is such shit.

Yes, you can apply on a written form, but when that form is lodged it's either optically scanned or manual data entry by staff. Either way, the data is held on a state government database.
