  1. Imagine this getting flung at you at speed.
  2. For information about the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Republicans put their trust of Donald Trump higher than the U.S. military/Pentagon, among other sources and media.
  3. Well,all repaired. Ignition switch removed, repaired and replaced. Steering lock mechanism also found to be worn. This, too, has been repaired. All up cost $434. Back on the road.
  4. You may know this. I didn't, I didn't even know it was a thing. A post came up on Facebook explaining why airlines detour around the Tibetan plateau. It's not due to military domination or restrictions, and only partly due to turbulance over the mountains. It's because the plateau is 14,000 ft high, and if the aircraft suffered a decompression, it would not be able to descend to the safe level of 10,000 ft. Besides, there are no suitable airfields to make an emergency landing.

    Looks like nobody else has a clue. The missing letter is "H". Each letter represents that number letter when spelt out. FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FIFTH Don't ask me who comes up with these questions.
  6. How many years ago was that? I made a couple of phonecalls today. One place (mobile mechanics and electronics) who quoted $700. Called a locksmith and they said bring your key over. My son drove me, and they cut a new key to mfr specs (computer controlled key cutter). They said the old one was pretty worn. Cost me $35.90. They said give that a try, and if that doesn't work, we'll have to come out and replace the key barrel. It didn't work, so they are coming tomorrow. Quote including call-out $350.
  7. Here is an interesting report in an incohernt ramble by Trump and the reaction. https://au.yahoo.com/news/dimbulb-trump-torched-rambling-attempt-042438659.html Love the last comment: Donald Trump always talks about history (or, well, *anything*) like a fourth-grader doing a book report on a book he didn’t read.
  8. Javascript restricts me to download only one file per session. If I am emailed 2 pdf's for example, I have to download one, log out of the session and log back on. The same applies to two or more videos. To get around this, my normal browser is Brave, but I also have Chrome with Javascript disabled. If I receive an email with multiple attachments, I activate Chrome and download them there.
  9. Saw this rego on the street today.
  10. Here is probably one of the silliest things I have seen. I had a small tetra pack of juice, coins for size comparison. Printed on the side was this warning...
  11. When I went to highschool, the dunny cart was referred to either the Ding Cart (don't recall if it had a bell), or sometimes as the icecream man. What has four wheels and flies? The dunny cart.

    Quickies part 2

    Sex between three people is a threesome. Sex between two people is a twosome. Sex with one person is handsome.
  14. A guy came across a dunny man poking around in a drum. He said, "What are you doing?" The dunny man said, "I dropped my jacket in the drum." The guy said, "You're not going to wear that jacket again are you?" The dunny man replied, "Of course not! But my lunch is in the pocket."

    Absolutely correct. What is the next letter in this sequence? 1.f 2.e 3.i 4.r 5.?
  16. When you can't tell your arse from your elbow...

    What do you get if you multiply all of the numbers on a telephone keypad?

    Right answer, but not the reason. The question says "On reflection". If you hold a mirror up to each letter, Z is the only one that's different.
  19. Because they've been banned from using TikTok due to fears of Chinese snooping, the options are getting slim. You wouldn't want them on Trump's Truth Media now, would you?
