Dezi Freeman found by Victorian Police and shot dead in standoff
red750 replied to onetrack's topic in General Discussion
Here is how the police forced Dezi Freeman out if his shipping container makeshift home. Freeman then exited the container in nothing but a blanket and a gun he stole from one of the officers he murdered in August. -
My wife worked for Transurban Citylink before she retired. The Burwood line has been extended to Vermont South Shopping Centre for years, and they have talked about extending it to Knox City, also for years.

That's why the Victorian government is approving and encouraging multi storeys, up to 18 levels, of home units, close to railway stations. Towers in Box Hill. Many owned by Chinese, possibly unoccupied. Similar is happening near Blackburn, Mitcham, Glen Waverley, just to name my area.

I went out at dusk to put some recycling rubbish in the bin. It is collected about 6:00 am tomorrow. I was nearly deafened (more than usual) by a cacophony of crickets.

At least today's occurrence put one small locality, there's no township, on the map - Thologolong. I'd never heard of it. The location of Thologolong. A street view of the buildings in Thologolong. Dezi's camp. -
It's bin day tomorrow. Interesting to see if they collect.

It still gives us a look at what the Murricans are thinking. Also a source of jokes, funny videos, silly pictures, etc.

The Strait of Tears (Bab el-Mandab) is currently under severe threat and effectively at risk of closure, though it has not been fully blocked as of late March 2026. The Houthi rebels, who control parts of Yemen and are part of Iran's "Axis of Resistance," have vowed to close the strait as a strategic option to escalate the ongoing conflict, following the effective closure of the nearby Strait of Hormuz by Iran.

Govt announces halving of fuel excise for 3 months

To hopefully reduce the demand for fuels, Jacinta Allen has announced that Victorian Public Transport will be free for one month. -
No more Donald news/posts from me, at least for some time. And my brain teasers will dry up soon as well. Facebook has cancelled my second account. My original account in my name was blocked, so I opened another account, using my middle name instead of my surname, calling myself Peter Francis. Sometime down the track I will open an account using my middle name and surname, dropping my first name. There are plenty of accounts from other people who have the same name. I also have friends who use made up names like Russ T Hinge or initials Kaye Elle Ess. They claim I had appealed against a suspension for breaching their "Community Standards" and I have no further appeals. I had no warnings, explanation of what I had done wrong, and had never appealed - didn't know I needed to. The only way to communicate with them is by logging in and completing their forms. However you can't log in if your login is blocked. They have no phone number or email address. If you go to their office, apparently, they won't speak to you. The only ones they speak to are advertisers. They have groups who post the most insidious garbage, like a photo of a car wreck, saying things like "Dolly Parton died today". or "Tom Hanks dies in car wreck". Photos of the Royal Family collapsing on the ground, or tears streaming down their face, all done with AI, and headlines stating "Royal Family rocked by news that ......", enticing you to click to find out more.

OT, you must have been typing as I posted. -
I know I shouldn't post this, and Nev will drag me over the coals, but this way I can say I had a head job from an Asian lady at the shopping centre for $15, and not be lying.

I only have a ring around the sides, bald on top. So I get a No. 3 buzz cut to keep the edges neat.

The Iranians don't know the meaning of surrender and will fight to the last man.

The booth is in the middle of the mall on the upper level of Forest Hill Chase. It is operated by a number of Asian ladies, two on duty (two chairs) at a time. You choose the type of haircut you want by tapping on a screen displaying the various types and prices. You insert the notes in the slot and a docket is produced. The docket contains a sequence number. An illuminated sign displays the number of the last customer to enter. eg. My docket said 237. The sign said 232. There are a number of seats outside the booth with the customers no 233, 234, 235, and 236 seated waiting their turn. The Asian ladies don't handle any cash, and the type of haircut you want is printed on the ticket, so conversation is not required. It's quick, efficient, and $10 cheaper than any of the other hairdressers in the shopping centre.

I needed $15, a $10 and a $5 note, today to put in a slot to get a docket for a haircut. ATM's don't give $5's and the docket machine does not give change. I went to Aldi to buy a couple of grocery items. I asked the guy on the checkout if I could get $15 cash out. He said, No. Only multiples of $10." I said "I need a $5 note. He said "You'll have to draw $20, and I'll give you 1 x $10 and 2 x $5.". How petty.

I was thinking that when I posted it. This one is not a bonus question, so the normal six letters are not given, you have to guess them all.

The Iranians are calling this The End of Times and Trump is “al-Dajjāl” – the Muslim equivalent of the Antichrist. https://theconversation.com/a-senior-iranian-cleric-thinks-trump-is-the-muslim-antichrist-who-is-this-figure-al-dajjal-277976

I don't think there was much detail to go on, but you could say it falls under the heading of entertainment. I know that's pretty sketchy, but narrowing it down much further would give it away.

Champion golfer Tiger Woods has been taken into custody and charged after he was involved in a serious car crash in Florida. The rollover crash occurred just after 2pm (local time) on Friday not far from where Woods lives in Jupiter Island in Florida, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office told media outlets. It has been reported that there were no serious injuries and police said it could “have been a lot worse”. Florida’s Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek later confirmed that Woods showed “signs of impairment” at the time of the accident. Budensiek said Woods had tried to overtake a truck “at high speeds” before he swerved and rolled his Land Rover. “When it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he has been charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test,” Budensiek said.

"BREAKING: Pete Hegseth Faces Growing Calls To Be FIRED after the NY Times reveals the “drug camp” that Trump and Hegseth blew up in Ecuador was actually just a DAIRY FARM that had nothing to do with drug dealers. " He's the most useless piece of garbage Trump has appointed.
