Oh! And I thought he was talking about tyres. (I did cotton on eventually)

FlightRadar24 is your friend.

On brighter news, review of the new electric Honda WN7 bike. https://www.visordown.com/reviews/2026-honda-wn7-first-ride-ride-review

By that logic he should have stopped after the first time... He got a hole in one!

Joining a site like this is like joining any other group of people that have known each other a while. You've got existing cliques, well known stances on various issues, a bit of background on most people, and the occasional mad uncle (you know who you are). The point is, you show a bit of restraint and respect until you're established and part of the group. After 2 days, starting a post with "You're full of it." And ending with "...keep running off at the mouth with a half assed understanding" shows neither respect not restraint.

Yeah ... Predicting the death of a 96 year old. Amazing!

Hmm. Strong words from someone who's been on this site for 2 days. Without wanting to seem unwelcoming, Down East, what causes an American to join a site named Social Australia?

The USA is no longer a dependable ally. From threatening to take over Greenland (leaving Denmark in the unenviable position of having to prepare to defend their territory from both Russia and the US), to invading Venezuela after destroying boats and killing survivors without any sort of due process, to unilaterally attacking Iran, to incarcerating visitors even from traditional allied countries without cause. Jerry ask yourself - if Australia were attacked and made a request for US assistance, is it likely they would? My feeling is that unless there was profit for their god-king, the answer would be no.

Well they haven't said anything that isn't true. Unlike the prick in the pic

Hang on a minute. Since WW2 have the Yanks put boots on the ground on the request of any European country?

Definitely agree with the good neighbours thing. We're lucky enough to live on 5 acres, 20 minutes from Hobart, and can't see any neighbours from our place. Mind you, we get on really well with our neighbours - about 5 other families we've known over 10 years, our kids caught the same bus to school together, and we still get together a few times a year for parties. If someone needs something they put it on the group chat and usually within 5 minutes someone is offering to help.

The inmates have been running the asylum since 2016, with a 4 year break

Just trying to help the man. As Peter said - if it gave him a black eye, he's not wearing it right.

So a girl's elementary school was hit and 160 people killed. Does that make Trump the most evil school shooter?

You do know where the G string goes, don't you OME?

Play it regularly Willie, and the skin on your fingertips will toughen up. Do you remember when you first picked up a guitar? Bet your fingertips hurt then too.

Well, if the girl trap is successful, you'll be told what to do. Problem solved!

Human life is too important for the choice to end it to be determined by an algorithm. Fully autonomous war machines are a huge threat. Once that genie is out of the bottle, all bets are off. We're not talking skeletal metal robots holding machine guns here. What about swarms of insect sized killers - going dormant for ages then activating on facial recognition and flying in the target's ear with a small explosive charge. What if that algorithm then decides that all people with a skin tone darker than X are a valid target. Or people wearing certain clothes. Or people in a certain age range. Or ethnicity. Or driving a certain model car. Or more likely, what if it gets hacked by a state player, or a crime syndicate, or just some incel in his mother's basement...

Walk this way, talk this way

Dafuq?? Do you really think Trump gives a flying f**k about the welfare of anyone who isn't Donald J Trump? Especially foreigners. Once again the stupid bastard is being led by the nose by Netanyahu, who needs yet another war to keep in power and out of court. Peace prize my arse. The only prize the orange clown deserves is "Worst President Ever", possibly upgraded to "Person who has had the most negative impact on humanity 2016-2020, and 2024 to impeachment"

Good luck getting a lift though!

Sounds like Anthropic AI are one of the rare tech companies ones common sense and vision. As these are totally foreign to the village idiot in the Oval Office, it's no wonder he doesn't like them.

I had poached eggs and fried mushrooms for lunch today. If I were Onetrack, I'd probably be in orbit right now 😆

Curried egg and red onion is a potent combination.

Sounds like something Chopper Read would have used.
