Jerry, if I read the first post correctly, you said you paid 1500 for this bike. Given the ongoing electrical problems, if you can get 1200 for it, that would seem to be an excellent option. -
I remember when my eldest son was 8, he helped me move the branches from a fallen tree to the burning pile. He worked all day. Someone at work told me later that 8 year olds have the equivalent energy to professional AFL players.

Counter turn. Pushing the left handlebar causes the bike to lean left, which makes you turn left.

I think the Democrats are having their own existential crisis. All over the place, "socialist" candidates (translation: candidates who want to represent real people, not whoever pays the most) are winning elections - against the wishes of the DNC. So the traditional reps, who want the bribes, er, sorry, "donations" to keep rolling in, are shitting themselves.

140.

Not only is he a dickhead, he's also unimaginative. He already tried to change the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America". Can't he think of any other names?

Love that movie. Saw a very good stage production of it too. -
State and local governments are racing to entice data centres without any thought for the environment, or power costs for the rest of the population for that matter. Because a few dollars in rates and a couple of security guard jobs are far more important than all the downsides.

Now that's art I can appreciate.

Hope that fixes it Jerry. What a pain.

Good thing they don't have almond cream then...

We have Tamar valley yoghurt but never the low fat version. Their normal is delicious and thick.

They have a bright future.

Companies who make profits in Australia often have overseas shareholders. I reckon if you compare remittances to the money going overseas to those shareholders, it'd be a drop in the bucket.

They look for the overlap, Ven.

Moose? Could still be a mouse, if you're Scottish.

I couldn't agree more OME. Take the money out of politics.

Did we both give... The wrong answer?

That dog deserves a medal. Or at least his owner, who probably walked him around the star for 15 minutes until the eagle landed.

I'm sure the electoral Commission has stats on the number of informal votes. But the thing is, if voting is optional, only those who feel strongly about issues will bother. That means more goes to the extremes, which is why you have an autocratic kleptocracy in the US right now. I think our system means more people vote towards the centre, which helps reign in the more extreme policies on both sides.

Just to play devil's advocate here, telling a family that their child is alive when they weren't is a pretty major stuff-up. It would have been devastating for the family to feel that overwhelming relief that she was alive, only to then be crushed. As a parent I can't imagine it.
