We have the lagest wild camel population in the world, and I read on Yahoo News that there are between 2 and 5 million feral donkeys in the wild.

Back to the identity self video requested by Facebook, one of the heads of Meta is in town to discuss the legal requirements to keep younger people off the site, and he said they will be using these videos to check that underage kids cannot cheat to open an account.

I saw an interesting story the other day by a financial adviser. He said he planned to die with virtually nothing in his account, and plans to leave nothing to his kids when he dies. That seems harsh and selfish, but his reaasoning is that when someone lives into their 80's their children will be likely in their 50's and 60's. By that time hopefully, the kids will have their finances under control. He thinks it would be more helpful to assist them when they are younger and getting their mortgage under control. Also, having a very small final balance will limit the amount of death tax/probate duty one is required to pay. Stepping into fantasy land for a while, if I happened to win a lotto jackpot, I would have it paid out to my kids on the understanding they would pay all my bills and anything I wanted. They wouldn't have to pay any tax on a lotto win, (yes on any eanings from that win) and with my balance below the pension cutoff, I would keep the benefits such as bulk-billed medical service, power concessions, etc, more so than the pension I would receive. I would direct them to make tax deductable donations sufficient to offset whatever additional tax they may have to pay.

Cash is being phased out and banks won't process cheques after next month. The Lotto company has ceased issuing prize cheques. All transactions will soon be electronic. Public transport trips paid by tapping your phone. Even street beggars are now using EFTPOS machines or QR codes. Many stores already don't accept cash, and banks make it harder to access cash. Woolies, and I guess Coles, now have a rule that you can withdraw up to $200 in cash with any purchase. So you can buy a kit kat bar, go through the self serve checkout and pay with your EFTPOS card or phone and withdraw $200. Bank ATM's have a minimum note denomination of $20. If you only need $15 you have to hope your trader can give you $5 change. But you need a $1 coin to unlock your trolley, which is refunded when you return the trolley, if you can find another trolley with the release chain. You'd be surprised how frequently the trolley collectors take away the trolleys just before you get there.

I thought they bought our beef because theirs was shit. We will only accept Canadian and Mexican sourced American beef according to ABC News. Theirs were banned because of mad cow and foot and mouth disease.

Watching tonight's episode of The Daily Show. They were discussing Trump's health problems and showed a photo of his shoe and ankles. The compere, Josh Johnson, said "Shoes are not supposed to give you muffin tops." They went on to show how Trump has his back against the wall with the Epstein files fiasco and the distractions he is throwing up. First the video of Obama getting arrested in the Oval Office, then in a cell in prison garb. Next he's onto the Martin Luther King Jnr files.

The photos are DINNER, ICE CREAM, NUTS, NACHOS, EGGS, ie DINNE. To complete the invitation, it requires an R. The answer is image C, a RASPBERRY.

Because Chump is considering pulling the plug on AUKUS. There is no guarantee that we will get anything, or any of our money back. You'd keep paying money (lots of it) for nothing?

Poor old Ozzie. Although 4 years younger than me, he looked a lot older. I have been watching a series called The Osbourmes Want to Believe, in which his son Jack Osbourne plays video clips of supernatural and unexplained occurrences, such as furniture moving by itself, ghost-like shadows of people walking down the street, and strange lights moving in the night sky, and his parents Ozzie and Sharon comment on whether they think they are real or fake. It was hard to understand what Ozzie was saying, his words were so slurred and peppered with bleeps.
