Sanctions on the US?

If they're protecting from the little quad motor drones, on poles a few metres high would probably be enough. I don't think fishing nets would stop a diving Shahed.

You could put Netanyahu on the other side with his hand in the same place.

That makes more sense. I know complete tits that were born that way, no apprenticeship needed.

So.. what you're saying is that the shareholders of your company will save $43m, but 95 people won't get work. And a good slice of that $43m will go to the top execs as bonuses for claiming credit for your ideas. Would that be accurate?

That's because some governments, like Norway, had the foresight to create a sovereign wealth fund and not just give away their resources to mining companies, the way we do

I know. I was being facetious

Good. Maybe in future wars, countries can just have their robots battle it out and not harm any humans. The side who keeps the most toys wins.

Slightly off topic (sorry Jerry) but involving car electrics... The other day I pulled into a parking space at the supermarket next to a car with a young mum and her kid. As I got out she tried to start her car and it did that slow laboured turnover which tells you you're not going anywhere. So I offered a jump start, she accepted and we hooked up the jumper cables. However it made no difference! Checked the cables were on properly, gave the clamps a twist to ensure connection, still nothing. We're scratching our heads when a young bloke and his girlfriend walked over and offered to help. The girlfriend told us he's a mechanic. He disconnected the negative cable on her battery and clamped it to the engine itself (starter motor housing I think). Tried again, it started straight away. So there you go - apparently you get a better earth from the engine than from the battery terminal!

Trump was fooled into this war by Netanyahu's hard sell. He's a useful idiot for both Netanyahu and Putin.

South Australians are strange. They pronounce Lego as "lay-go".

Teardrop shaped cars help. Apparently the Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a drag coefficient of 0.21Cd.

Yes, that's excellent news. Trump will be pissed off too which is an added bonus. Orban was strongly supported by both Putin and Trump, so you know he's an arsehole.

I believe "shah mat" was anglicised to "Checkmate" for chess.

I believe the Southern Baptist church split from the northern over their views on slavery, ie they were all for it. So I think their views on anything would be suspect.
