    Watch the 2024 movie "Civil War" - I think it's a possibility there. I just hope that as a society we can learn lessons from the horrible shit Trump and his puppet masters are causing over there.

    Nobody gets it right 100% of the time, but the ABC are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to accuracy.

    What a pathetic loser. Imagine being in the most powerful office on the planet and still being so insecure you have to build gaudy oversized edifices in your own honour. Definitely compensating for an awful lot.

    Nope. That's a balanced news organisation which actually fact checks.

    Feel free to point out when a journalist actually has worked for a solar panel or wind turbine manufacturer for 2 years.

    I'm not an economist either but I think it's intended to suppress demand. The basic idea is that forcing people to pay more on their home loan leaves less money for other things (yes I know - like food and medical costs) so demand across the economy goes down, supply remains the same, so this is meant to push prices down. That's what I think anyway - happy to be corrected by someone who actually knows.

    Maybe it's a cunning plan to stop despairing intelligent people from fleeing the US.

    He wants his face and name everywhere. Some future Democrat government will have a lot of cleaning up to do.

    I didn't watch it, but read the fact checking of it. What an example of terrible journalism. Unsurprising though given the presenter previously worked for Shell.

    Kimmel, Stewart, Myers and Colbert are about the only sane voices on US tv.

    I look forward to the day when this thread can be merged with the "well known celebrities who have passed away" thread. But in related news - now Gina thinks that immigrants social media should be screened. Wonder where she got that idea? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/apr/27/gina-rinehart-immigrant-social-media-screening-anzac-day-sydney-opera-house-ntwnfb

    I'm sure you were, but if you just read this sentence "...when I was a cop and was depositing seized drug money at my local bank" It gives a different impression...

    Glad you mentioned the holding account OME

    No. It doesn't. There are a heap of factors that go into house prices including supply, number of tradies, planning rules, land zoning, capital gains discounts, short term holiday houses (Airbnb), etc. Again - looking for a simple solution to a complex problem.

    They're pretty big objects. From 40 - 100m long, built to be not only self supporting but to rotate, with weather proof coating - sounds ideal as roofing/cladding. Maybe sheds and hangars?

    I've heard a lot of Sky News talking points and very few facts in this discussion. If you want to come back to me with some validated statistics of exactly how our current immigration numbers are making life worse here, then I'll listen. Until then it's all just hot air.

    Recycling the blades is a challenge. Cement co-processing seems to be the best option currently. There'd have to be some innovative reuses of them - there was a story in ABC recently of someone making surfboards out of them. I'd have thought they could be incorporated into fences, walls, roofs etc. https://www.mdpi.com/2075-5309/15/14/2414

    https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202604/1359787.shtml Robot in China went off-script, turned around and hugged a female student. They're saying it wasn't a conscious decision on the robot's part. Looking at the target of its affection (blonde girl in a miniskirt) my thesis is that the AI was programmed by a teenage boy...

    I heard that a security guard had been shot by the intruder (shotgun), but not injured due to protective equipment (guessing vest).

    Bit overpriced I think, but a very nice looking bike.

    Musk is a rabid fascist. He's made a habit of sticking his nose in other countries business and supporting the worst far right policies and parties. If Musk is complaining about Australia's immigration then we must have it about right.

    Grok is the worst performing AI, not sure why you used that as an example.
  24. Marty_d
    You mean if one is reasonably intelligent and a normal human being? Thanks.

    Not to mention nursing home staff. My 93yo mother is looked after by Nepalese, Thai, Indian, African,Sri Lankan and Malaysian Australian staff. Barely a white face among them. She knows all their names and asks after their kids, and you can see the gentleness and respect they show her. There are certainly the job opportunities in that industry if "traditional" Aussies want them, but they don't.
