  2. Add mudslinging and lying, like all other elections.
  3. Cricketer Keith Stackpole has died aged 84, from a suspected heart attack.
  4. That's a flat earthers idea of the earth. Look at the distance between east Russia and Alaska.
  5. It's a matter of self control. Sometimes only a credit card will do, then you pay it off straight away. For example, the pay stations at parking stations such as shopping centres, hospitals and airports do not accept debit cards. My credit cards (two of them) both have small credit balances, less than ten dollars. It's rare that I buy stuff online, and don't have a paypal account. Recently I bought some hearing amplifiers, like in-ear hearing aids, from the US. True hearing aids cost a few hundred, some local ones, advertised on TV, cost $240 or more. Mine cost A$159 and are working fine - better than the hearing aids I got from the audiologists. Paid it off immediately, no interest.
  6. From what I understand, but I'm ready to be corrected if I'm wrong, you download an ap to your smartphone. You register your bank account on the ap. Then, you plug the car into the charger, use the ap to start and stop charging, and the ap debits your nominated account by direct debit. There are a couple of providers, so you would need an ap for each one, because you don't know which one will be where you need to recharge. Just like having a Macca's ap and a KFC ap for tap n go. It's getting a bit much for us old farts.
  7. Or moronic Biden.
  8. This is a series of screenprints of the map on the EV Charging Stations website, zooming in from Australia wide, to Victoria, to Melbourne and right down to one station. Australia wide stations Victorian stations Melbourne stations Eastern suburbs stations The station at Canterbury Rd , Vermont and Gippsland. Map Legend. Selecting a station, click on the marker and an info panel with hours of operation adapter type, phone number and sometimes price will open
  9. While other leaders wrote long epitaphs to the Pope on his passing, Trump posted on Truth Social - Like launching a ship.
  10. I know Nev doesn't like the Daily Mail, but here is a report of that meeting. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14631273/Pope-Franciss-final-meeting-Awkward-moment-JD-Vance-condemning-Trump-administrations-treatment-migrants-pontiffs-public-encounter.html?ito=social-facebook
  11. Poor guy. One of the last people he saw was J.D.Vance.
  12. It's hard to determine how many charging stations there are in Australia. There are websits and count tables, but they do not show when the tables were created. The web page may have an update date, but no indication as to what was changed. The table I found just now is below. There are maps on the web which you can zoom into to find charging stations near you or your journey and destination.
  13. I went to the chemist (Chemist Warehouse) with a repeat prescription authorisation (the yellow one) showing a issue date of 09/06/24, so still current, and number of repeats left, 5. They refused to fill the repeat because it did not have the original prescription (blue) attached.
  14. I was watching an old episode of QI with Stephen Fry on Foxtel today. They are all very old episodes. The topic revolved around genitalia etc. One of the information gems Stephen revealed was that if you equate a single sperm to a single bit in a data stream, the average male ejaculation (if there is such a thing), contains the equivalent of 57.4 terrabytes. To show how old these episodes are, episodes on the daily timeslot are hosted by Sandi Toksvig who took over from Stephen.. Last night's episode had Jerry Springer as a guest panelist. He died in April 2023.
  15. You did see the street sign on the left didn't you?
  16. Innuendo Intersection Edinburgh.
  17. Just who does this monstrous bigoted piece of shyte think he is?
  18. J.D,Vance has a new nickname - Tiny Pants Vance.
  19. The Welsh have long been considered to have the longest place name, 58 characters - Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch At the 2011 Census the population was 3,107, of whom 71% could speak Welsh. However, New Zealand has a place with a name 85 characters long - Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamatea­turipukakapi­kimaunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­ki­tana­tahu It means "the hilltop where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, played his flute to his loved one."
  20. Adam Sandler fans are only just finding out that he has starred alongside his wife Jackie Sandler in more than 20 of his films. The Uncut Gems actor, 58, has made a conscious effort to appear alongside his other half over the past two decades, with many cinemagoers keeping an eye out for her cameos, which they've likened to Easter eggs. Jackie, 50, has appeared in several of Adam's movies, including 50 First Dates (2004), where she played a dentist, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007), in which she was a teacher, and Grown Ups (2010), where she played Richie Minervini's on-screen wife. Despite frequently having to watch Adam kiss other women on set, the producer insists his wife doesn't get jealous of his on-screen romances.
  21. The story was a copy and paste from a post by News Australia, but a second report by The Advertiser was hidden behind a paywall.
  22. **Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan Authorizes Aerial Culling of 700 Koalas in Budj Bim National Park** In a highly contentious decision, Jacinta Allan has approved the aerial culling of koalas within Budj Bim National Park. The Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning (DEECA) asserts that this drastic action is backed by "comprehensive assessments," which cite a lack of sufficient food resources to sustain the koala population. It is said this was for humanitarian reasons following a lightening strike and sparking bushfires. This development raises a pivotal question: Why are blue gum plantations—thought to be the original habitats of these koalas—continuing to be harvested, resulting in the displacement of thousands of these animals without the provision of alternative shelters? Jacinta, how do you rationalize the following: - Permitting shooters to eliminate koalas from helicopters without performing thorough health evaluations? - Failing to ascertain the health status of these koalas, including the potential presence of mothers with dependent joeys? - Referring to this act as a “mercy killing” when it seems to contradict that notion? Conducting health assessments from an altitude of 30 meters is impractical. This method is scientifically unfounded and represents an act of cruelty. Under DEECA’s management, our wildlife is not receiving the protection it deserves. These lethal measures are carried out in secrecy, with the public often learning about them only after they occur. It appears that the government is attempting to present this initiative as compassionate, which is entirely unacceptable. If the public accepts this narrative, the future of our native wildlife is at serious risk. As we approach a federal election, accountability is essential.
