I'm glad you avoid driving over the peasants, Sir Spacey!

Got it.

Probably not unreasonable to expect drivers to be able to see.

Gloomy but probably accurate prediction of what will happen on Friday. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/13/trump-swallowing-putins-lies-is-a-bigger-threat-to-ukraine-than-bombs

Yeah I need to decide which level to get. I don't think it'll be the $9k ones.

That's brilliant fuel economy. My 2.2 diesel Santa Fe only gets around 8.2/100, but we do have a lot of hills around here.

Money can't buy you personality, character, taste or wisdom, evidently.

130 is not unreasonable on divided multi lane freeways. France has 130 when fine / 110 when raining on some freeways.

6 min 30 seconds. Unless it's after Friday drinks, in which case it could be the next day.

Well, I'm not wanting a slinging match between HD and Jap bikes. All I'll say is that my Shadow has 71,000km on it, is comfortable and smooth, has a shaft drive and cost me $3k. Yes, you can spend a lot more and you'll get a prettier bike, but for grins per dollar I'm pretty happy.

It's only a Honda pretending to be a Harley, Nev. Sounds the part though, V twin with an exhaust pipe for each cylinder.

Had a nice ride yesterday, up to New Norfolk for lunch and a wander through the antique shops and street market, then down the other side of the Derwent (past the farm where I lived as a child), over the new Bridgewater bridge and then the old roads back to Hobart. The new front tyre has improved handling no end, it was very pleasant.

Going to say... 10

If he sues everyone who say he's a dickhead, the courts will be jammed up for the next thousand years.

It's from a full service massage parlour... "Pull as I lie"

Which Jimmy is it? Kimmel or Fallon?

Thumbing through a book, I reckon.

Because it shows us the danger of going the same route.

Medvedev is batshit crazy. Just like Trump he loves to get on social media and spew whatever insane stream of consciousness that's going through his brain cell. Not sure how these idiots rise to the top. That's why I like Albo. A boring and careful leader is far better than the alternative.

Red velvet cupcakes

Agreed, but in any case the Republicans have the numbers to put through whatever stupid idea the moron-in-chief has, coupled with the lack of any sort of spine to stand against his more destructive ones. Read something from an Australian journalist the other day who recently went back to the US. He said it's amazing how little Trump is discussed over there. No visible MAGA people on the streets, no discussion of politics in churches or other gatherings. It's like he has more impact overseas and the Yanks just ignore him (I guess like frogs in a pot of water that's being slowly heated).
