I put my old Samsung into developer mode, using a YouTube video. It stopped all sensors and recording, listening from happening. Only pain was to take. Picture or use functions you had to approve every time. i did it after reading no matter what your privacy settings are on, it can determine where you are by matching with other people’s phones, ie riding on a train or bus etc. It might be time to do so again. I don’t think any of us signed up to be spied on, or at least didn’t read the user agreement and just ticked the box.

Did none of us take notice of HAL, or the terminator, no good comes from AI taking over. Last night my wife complained of her ear hurting from the back of her earing rubbing the skin. I took a picture because she didn't believe my description. when she opened bookface afterwards there was medical info and pictures of different infections and wounds to ears. I am sick of being spied on by tech. I might just invent a sealed soundproof lock box to keep phones and tablets in when you get home, and sell it in the back of comic books with coupons and postage. everything old seems to become new again.

He shouldn’t even have firearms if he is a sovereign citizen. How did he obtain them with out a licence and all of the paperwork required under the law. I agree with Jerry’s comment, more people are becoming more like the American morons by the day.

I know there's a naughty word there, but these t shirts being worn by non English speaking people are quite amusing.

A lot of my customers have fiat motor homes, even wide body ones and have always reported good mileage. only problem is wet grass in the morning leaving campsites can be a problem. my van is being fitted as a mobile retail an work shop. That is why I got the biggest I could. It does have to have adblue, but I have only filled th tank twice in 10k and it is still at 45%

My 3.3m high 7m long Iveco van has a 3 Litre 210 horsepower diesel with an 8 speed auto, with duals on the rear. I scrolled through the settings the other day. I have done just under 10,000km. My average fuel use has come up at 7.3L per 100. A lot of my driving has been crossing the range from coast to tamworth to move all of my equipment and parts, some loads have been at full weight (8.5T) I am rather impressed at fuel use, it is not a slouch either. this is better than my triton ute, the average on it is around 9.9L per 100. I often see 10-12 L per 100 on fuel use setting. In the morning going to work i have it as low as 7.6 some days, others high 11's. the triton doesn't have the lifetime average on screen.

Holidays in Hawaii are on sale now. I. Any even think bout I due to my online activities involving the orange clown. When they search your electronic history any thing offensive to the clown in chief will have you turned around at immigration. I’d be lucky if they didn’t pop the door mid flight and DB Cooper me.

What about Boris and Natasha, his Russian friends. Kinda hits home a bit more.

Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

I got stuck on Moonbi range going home on Saturday, 37 centimetres of snow dumped on us, 5 hours to go 20km from turn around to end of snow. Drove home via Newcastle and up freeway as it wasn’t cleared of cars and snow by 11am on Sunday. all the sticky beaks made it the hardest, got stuck in their little hatchbacks and such, lots of crashes into rock wall, stuck trucks, caravans, and cars scattered everywhere to dodge on way down. iteresting to experience, but not a fun way to spend an evening. -
There’s a lot of slave labour involved working for yourself, especially when you have other people. good news to hear somebody does better than the 11 to 13 I usually get back on a power hit, which is same as your system7 I think. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Watching dash cams Australia is a wake up. There are so many f#$kwits on our roads. I don’t know if it’s drugs or dumbness causing wrong side driving on roundabouts, double lines etc. when I learnt to drive in the army, the instructors drummed into us drive like everyone else is a d!ckhead trying to kill us. it has stood well for me so far, besides a few poles and gates I have backed into slowly, I have only had 1 traffic accident. I gave way to a semi, even though I didn’t have to so he could turn into the side road easier, and he run straight over the bonnet of the falcon I borrowed, because my charger would start in the cold morning. It was in Kalgoorlie and I had just finished cleaning the depot where he worked before everyone got in.

I witnessed a bloke walking around in the shopping centre in Tamworth on the weekend wearing a MAGA hat proudly. His guts was overhanging his trackpants, windcheater was too short to cover it up, and thongs on at one of the eatery's there, I felt like asking "how's that going for you". I didn't hear him speak so am not sure if he was from here or there, but looked like your typical MAGA supporter when they gather on the news reels. A teacher from my daughters school was asked to leave after wearing MAGA gear to school and telling the kids wow great DT is. Too many parents were not happy about his message.

That was a good bit of Aussie humour, its a shame some people don't know how to take it.

The Significance of the 4th of July in Australian History
ClintonB replied to old man emu's topic in General Discussion
My old boss in Carnarvon told me when he was a big asparagus grower, woolies would dictate the price and say we had a special so the price is less. He told them to shove it, he didn’t offer the special. The cost didn’t change to grow and harvest. All of that crop was hand labour. I noticed on tv a year or so ago, labour was all imported from islands and Asia in Victoria where they grow asparagus. -
