Gold actually travels in solution via chemically active water through the soils, and reaches points where it precipitates out as the metal. Thus the reason for the totally random formation of nuggets. The Golden Eagle nugget was found at Larkinville W.A., just 45kms from my gold mine at Higginsville. I've been into the spot where the Golden Eagle was found, and it's a totally unimpressive patch of flat red clayey ground, with no normal signs of gold-bearing country, such as quartz or calcrete, as is common in the W.A. Goldfields. Yet, a dig by 16 yr old Jimmy Larkin found the biggest nugget ever found in W.A., just half a metre below the surface. When I was at Higginsville, a mining company started up an open pit just a few kms South of the old Higginsville townsite. One night, the conveyor transporting ore to the crusher stopped dead. The workers went to find the problem, and found a 42 oz nugget had jammed the conveyor, and brought it to a halt!! https://www.goldindustrygroup.com.au/news/2017/9/18/finding-of-golden-eagle-nugget

Dennis Lillee look to be in reasonable shape for his age, I don't think he's gone the way of beauty treatments.

Who is Elon Musk? The worlds greatest personal greed merchant, who has shafted billions daily to accumulate a level of wealth that simply continues to increase at an astronomical rate, because he knows how to game every system designed to limit massive wealth accumulation. But his accumulated wealth does nothing to help the average American. Even if you buy one of his famed Tesla cars, you're obliged to continue to pay a monthly fee to keep accessing the cars features. What a monstrous scheming rort!! You bought the car and its systems, but you don't really own it, you have to keeping paying "tithes" to the company owner!! John Deere management are stating that within a couple of years, 10% of their income will be from incoming, continually ongoing, "royalties", on their "technologies". Did you want to buy that large tub of Vaseline now, as well, to help ease the gigantic anal insertion?

Our democratic system is subtly warped by the formation of political parties, which means politicians, who are elected by their constituents, end up representing and voting in decisions that benefit their political party, rather than their constituents desires and needs. In America, politicians are controlled by corporations, who wield their enormous political clout, via their incredible wealth, to make decisions that constantly benefit corporations and senior executives and CEO's, instead of the general population. There are inadequate taxes on the rich, who scream blue murder any time increased taxes on the rich are imposed. These people also utilise vast amounts of manipulation of tax laws to ensure they pay even less tax than envisioned by the lawmakers. These people were called "robber barons" in the old days, they still exist, albeit in a different and more cunning form. The gigantic corporations such as Google and Microsoft and Apple should be broken up, because they're wealthier than half the worlds countries, and wield unbelievable political and economic power. America has Anti-Trust and Monopoly laws, but they've been ignored, watered down, and manipulated by these gigantic corporations, that have global tentacles. The American politicians of the early 20th century, who saw huge monopolies forming from the oil and railroad industries, were acutely aware of the power and control they could acquire, which usurped the power of even U.S. Presidents - so they introduced the Anti-Trust and Monopoly laws to try and rein them in. Those laws were used on General Motors in 1967 to break up GM's ever-increasing tentacles, making GM divest itself of companies it had bought up to monopolise certain areas of manufacturing. However, since that time, a new breed of corporate leader and new teachings in business skills have seen the rise of illegal, unethical and outright immoral conduct amongst corporations - all the while they claim to teach "corporate ethics". What a joke. So, to summarise, to improve outcomes in wealth distribution and to improve the average persons lot; 1. Make politicians responsible to their voters, not their party. 2. Place tight limits on political spending and advertising (note how much Clive Palmer spent on political advertising to gain votes - it worked for him). 3. Make all political donations public, and limit the amounts. 4. Increase taxes on the extremely wealthy and make their "innovative" accounting and tax-minimisation methods illegal. 5. Limit the size of corporations so they cannot have more wealth than Govts, whereby they can control the Govts accordingly.

I don't know about the lack of hair and makeup, I tend to think it's multiple plastic surgeries, multiple botox injections, and illegal drug use, that's done the damage. It looks like Melanie Griffiths.

There's not going to be much in the JFK investigation archives that will reveal anything new, 99% of the information has already been released. It's a typical Trump stunt to try and get more self-glorification. Maybe he's hoping the records will reveal that the shooter on the Grassy Knoll really did exist, and they actually know his name!? 😄

I don't believe the sensors ever give any trouble, the problem was the explosive material that Takata manufactured for the airbags was faulty, and could explode without warning, and it would shatter the canister that holds the charge, propelling metal shards into the car occupants. The original airbag explosive was sodium azide, which was a relatively slow and weak explosive - but Takata decided to start using Ammonium Nitrate, which is a more powerful explosive, and which chemical is sensitive to moisture and heat buildup - which can make it go off unexpectedly. As the Ammonium Nitrate and its casings in the Takata airbags aged, it became susceptible to water ingress and corrosion - and more susceptible to heat. So quite a few of the Takata airbags exploded, and killed a fair number of people. There were lawsuits galore, and Takata and the car manufacturing companies had to replace the airbags, or buy back the affected cars and scrap them, and also pay out to affected owners. The whole exercise cost Takata dearly, and they went bankrupt in 2018.

Have a prang and try them out, to see if they work, Spacey! 😄

Now, all you need to find, is that your car is part of the Takata Airbag recall, and they contact you, and offer you $20,000 for a buyback!! 😄 I knew a bloke who bought an old bomb of a Honda for about $1000, drove around in it for while, and was all set to scrap it, when he found out it was one of the Takata Airbag recall cars! He contacted Honda, gave them the VIN - and they identified the car as a recall, and bought the car back off him - for $6000!!

Whoa, that's a photo guaranteed to frighten any child, and make them burst into tears! 😄

Heavy heart.

It is immediately obvious, that nomadpete's wife doesn't read this forum! 😄

Innocent civilians are always the first and often the biggest casualties of war. But these people supported Hamas and Hezbollah wholeheartedly, knowing full well these two organisations are recognised as promoters of terrorism, and that they dedicate their existence to the total destruction of Israel.

Don't you just love the methodology of food ingredients listings? Find a fancy name for the industrial product used to adulterate your food, and no-one will be any the wiser. "Mono- and Diglycerides" are emulsifiers manufactured by reacting low grade oils and fats with a catalyst, at high temperatures. They are also known as "partially hydrogenated oils". They contain a large amount of trans fats and are regarded as unsafe to eat by the Institute of Medicine. They are linked to approximately 20,000 heart attacks in the U.S. https://delinigelato.com/post/food-additives-which-to-avoid

I wish today, to be able to grow as much hair on my head, as I can grow in my nose and ears.

Starch is not mentioned as an ingredient on the Smiths Potato Chips bag. The ingredients list is only, Potato (64%), Salt, Citric Acid (preservative), Sunflower oil, and I think it also says Rosemary is added (spice).

He is a she - and she admits the insurrectionists did wrong. Read the BBC article that Octave put up, it's balanced and informative.

Did you know that Smiths Potato Chips (the Original, they claim), contains only 64% potato? I'm with Litespeed, WTF does the other 36% comprise?? Sunflower oil and salt and maybe a sprinkle of citric acid as a preservative, wouldn't make up 36%? Maybe they're measuring the air in the bag??

Here's a different news outlet take on the story. https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/wa/tyron-smiths-family-devastated-as-police-rule-out-charging-kalgoorlie-homeowner-who-confronted-armed-intruder-c-17471070

He was probably smart enough to remain anonymous and not give an interview and reveal his name and potentially his location - otherwise there would be savage "retribution" from other Aboriginals in Kalgoorlie. There was an episode involving a white bloke in Kalgoorlie about 3-4 years ago, who was thoroughly sick of constant theft by Aboriginals. He spotted an Aboriginal youth riding one of his stolen motorbikes, and set off chasing him in his 4WD. In the ensuing melee, the Aboriginal youth was knocked off the motorbike and died. The bloke was charged with manslaughter and spent a couple of years in jail, but while he was in jail, his home was burnt down, and his family made homeless. No-one was ever caught or charged over the fire, which is pretty pathetic, IMO. The bloke and his family left Kalgoorlie for good after the house fire, and went to live in the Eastern States.

Put it all in a fully sealed, soil-proof, contamination-proof container, that has an exceptionally durable coating, and bury it all. In 500 years when it's found and dug up, the archaeologists will be delighted to find a window into the everyday life of a person who lived 500 years ago - and your descendants will probably make a financial killing out of selling it all off to the highest bidders. 😄

I'm lost with that one, "Nose out of joint", is about all that comes to mind.

The last story on the right, would make a good news story!

Give it a miss, ya silly old fool, before you end up in hospital again!! It's time to "act your age", not keep thinking you're a 20 yr old, and can still do all this stuff!!
