Here's an interesting insight into Elon. https://www.wownews.info/news/elon-musks-father-reveals-financial-help-he-and-his-family-receive-from-the-tesla-billionaire/

I wonder what the outcome would have been had the Democrat nominee been Pete Buttergeig. Given the discriminatory proclivities of many Americans, some. on their principles would not vote for a coloured or a female contender. That stood to the disadvantage of Kamala on both counts. I am also still seeing references, in FB comments, to Tampon Tim.

Elon discovers another place millions of government dollars are being wasted.

Life insurance companies are nothing more than legalised thieves. My wife insisted I took out a life policy to protect her and the kids in the event of my death. Obviously, that didn't happen. However my wife passed away a couple of years ago, and the kids are now over 45. And yet, without increasing the payout figure, my insurance company, Zurich, continues to increase my premium. If I die next week, it will cost them no more than it would have, had I died 5 years ago, but they continue to take me for $500 per month, and now want more. If I cancel the policy, I lose all I have paid over the years, The only way to get a payout on this policy is to die. Legalised thieves.

Yes, that's the problem with tap and go. It's all too easy, and invisible. If you have to pull out a $10 or $20 note and break it, you may have second thoughts. The effect of tap and go doesn't hit home till you get your statement. And the adverts are so tempting.

Gene Hackman succumbed to advanced Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease after living for about a week with the decomposing body of his dead wife Betsy Arakawa, who died from a rare rat-borne disease. In a horrific twist, autopsies revealed Arakawa, 65, died from Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome on February 11. Hackman, 95, died about 7 days later, around February 18, before the couple's mummified remains were found in separate rooms of their $3.8 million Santa Fe home on February 26. Dr. Heather Jarrell, Chief Medical Investigator for the state of New Mexico, said their deaths had both been ruled as natural, and that no signs of internal or external trauma were found. Their dog Zinna, who was found dead near Arakawa, was picked up from a veterinary hospital on February 9 after undergoing a procedure, which may explain why it was found in a kennel, according to authorities.

GON. You are always on about warmongering westerners when referring to people trying to protect themselves from invaders. What about this miserable so and so? https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2023792/nato-warplanes-russian-border-putin-attack

The way to avoid fattening foods is to look at the price ticket. Nearly $10 for a simple burger, over $5 for a donut. Works every time.

I drink water all day, and have a Gatorade bottle of water beside the bed, which I drink during the night. Don't have to worry about peeing due to the night bag attached to my urostomy pouch. I take a bloodthinner each day. I had a bloodtest in February and got the results from my GP yesterday. Kidney function normal, blood sugar down from dangerous levels to normal.

Another Musk failure. A Spacex Starlink rocket launched Thursday lost contact and crashed into the sea just minutes into the flight.

Willie has now been missing for more than a month now. I hope he hasn't been blown away by Cyclone Alfred.

She. Read the last line of my post.

The tow truck turned up to take my old Festiva to the recyclers. The driver, obviously a Pacific islander, was built like this guy, Jordan Mailata However, it was a woman.

Find the spring in 10 seconds. If you can, reply Done.

Mayne he can restore the Gold Coast beaches after Cyclone Alfred's destruction. (Tongue in cheek).

The impact Donald Trump’s tariffs are having in everyday life were evident on live TV Many people on the internet are coming to the realization the impact Donald Trump’s tariffs will have on items across the country. President Trump made his highly anticipated return to the White House 44 days ago, and on Tuesday, March 4, he marked the occasion with a bold address to Congress. During his speech, Trump revealed that he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, referencing the recent Oval Office controversy that dominated headlines last week. Since his return, the Republican president has wasted no time in taking action, signing a series of executive orders—including lifting the TikTok ban and making a firm declaration that there are ‘only two genders,’ among others. Tariffs, Tariffs, and More Tariffs Tariffs have become a defining feature of President Trump’s tenure, with nations like Mexico, Canada, and China bearing the brunt of his aggressive trade policies. The White House has justified these measures as a response to what it calls an “extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl.” In simple terms, tariffs are taxes on imported goods—making them more expensive to sell in the U.S., with the added cost often trickling down to consumers. The Real-World Impact A recent Fox News report shed light on just how much these tariffs are affecting everyday Americans. In a stunning live TV moment, a Dodge Ram truck’s price jumped by $20,000 in real time. “This Dodge Ram truck was $80,000. It instantly just became $100,000 under Trump’s tariff tax hike,” the Twitter account FactPost noted while sharing the clip. The rising costs on imported goods raise questions about how these policies will shape consumer spending and the broader economy. Tariffs Shake the Auto Industry David Kelleher, owner of Pennsylvania-based David Auto Group, painted a grim picture of the impact tariffs are having on the car market. Speaking to Fox News, he shared a striking example: “I sold an order for a customer—an $80,000 truck. It’s $100,000 now. He’s not going to buy the truck. It’s going to sit on my lot—you know the highest interest rates we’re paying for floorplan. Nobody’s gonna buy the truck because it just had a $20,000 price increase.”

A popular family car will no longer be available in Australia after its parent company's profit dropped sharply and it looks to rein in costs. Aussies will no longer have access to the Jeep Grand Cherokee when existing stock runs out. In 2024, Jeep parent company Stellantis recorded a 70 per cent drop in its net profit to $AU9.14billion. Stellantis' car brands include Jeep, Ram and Chrysler in the US, France's Citroen and Peugeot and Italy's Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo and Maserati, along with China's electric Leapmotor. The Grand Cherokee SUV was once a popular car in Australia, but only 645 were sold here in 2024; just over half the 1,247 in 2023. It's been a quick decline for a car that was named Australia's best-selling large SUV in 2014.
