  1. You obviously don't get it. Harris can now use the Donald Duck barb right up to November 5. Trump's claim he won is only going to go down with his rusted-on supporters. Even Republicans are acknowledging Trump did poorly. Democrats are ecstatic. Here's a bit of perspective for you.....
  2. If your friend has to ask about costs, he can't afford it anyway.
  3. Australia is fairly balanced on female to male ratios, with females slightly outnumbering males. OTOH, Armenia and Ukraine lead the world with far more women than men. 55% and 54.1% women respectively. They are also war-torn countries. A peaceful life in Australia must look very attractive.
  4. MTG taking Laura Loomer to task for racism is a bit hard for me to process. It's like watching Trump praise Obama for his healthcare reforms, or Vance calling for the restoration of Roe vs Wade.
  5. It's called doublethink. Thought 1 for Trump - I got the worst belting I ever had. I'm not putting myself up to get taken to the cleaners a second time. Thought 2 for Trump - If I claim I won, my stupid followers will believe I don't need to debate a loser again. Welcome to Trumpworld, where True is False.
  6. I suggest you should have Googled the industrial uses of gold and silver before posting. What you are posting from, whether it is a smartphone, laptop or desktop, is almost certain to contain silver.
  7. If I Recall Correctly. I was under the impression Americans are the gold medallists of acronyms, such as SNAFU, REMF, PTSD etc. I really like the one used for the B-52 bomber - BUFF.
  8. Things have come to a sad state of affairs. The OP suspects a bird of robbing him. I am wondering if his previous experiences with women have triggered paranoia. IIRC he has embraced celibacy. Perhaps he needs to get laid.
  9. With a collapsing infrastructure, power blackouts galore, bitcoin is not going to save you either. It's just an ephemeral stream of electrons. Gold and silver, they are real. Solid.
  10. It's a different environment. You have probably never heard of Andrew Denton. Perhaps the most incisive interviewer Australia has ever produced, he would astound the celebrities he interviewed with the depth of his research. I'd love to watch him interview Trump or Harris. There would be no softballs.
  11. I sometimes have to marvel at the assumption everybody knows a certain academic. I have never heard of Hanson. Looked him up on Google. Just like you have probably never heard of Geoffrey Blainey or Donald Horne. The insularity and ignorance of Americans can be quite alarming. I've read books by John Steinbeck, Sinclair Lewis, Ernest Hemingway, Booth Tarkington, John D MacDonald. Some Americans don't even know who J.D. MacDonald is, and he is one of your greatest authors.
  12. One has to wonder what world of delusion Trump lives in, when he claims he won on Truth Social. Or is that just for his pitiable followers?
  13. The evidence humans have caused climate change is incontrovertible. Prior to 1960 atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were 320 ppm. The annual rate of increase since then is 100 times faster than previous natural increases, such as occurred after the most recent ice age 11,000 years ago. There's only one source, the burning of fossil fuels, which can explain said rate of increase. The greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide is fact. It's basic chemistry and physics. What really worries scientists is the potential for a decrease in albedo, or increase in methane release from permafrost, to trigger a butterfly effect. The butterfly effect was first explained by Friedrich Schiller in a short story about 200 years ago. A miniscule change in one part of the world causing catastrophic events in other areas.
  14. If I told you who I really was, I'd have to kill you.
  15. Up to you, it's your King and Queen, not mine. I am still waiting for Australia to grow up.
  16. His grandfather was an over-privileged boor, shagging maids of honor. His father was an adulterer. He continues the tradition. Why anyone except the Brits should give a sh!t about this collection of dysfunctional anachronisms is beyond my comprehension. .
  17. Are we seeing a conversion on the road to Damascus?
  18. Multitasking is toasting bread and poaching eggs at the same time. Or walking and chewing gum.
  19. I had an arthroscopy about 20 years ago. It takes about a month to heal. The most important part of the surgery is the rehab afterwards, You do not need an arthroscopy unless the pain is sufficient to prevent you from sleeping. As another poster has said, back off.
  20. Unusual. It's more normal to have problems getting started at our age, See a urologist. Meantime, empty your bladder on a schedule.
  21. My COVID symptoms are rapidly receding. Nose has dried up, coughed once during the night.Almost back to full exercise. I credit regular boosters.
  22. Trump is now saying Taylor Swift will pay a price for her endorsement of Harris in the marketplace, while Musk is offering to make a baby with her in response to the childless cat lady signoff. AFAIK Truth Social is heading towards worthless, X ( Twitter ) has lost 50% of its value since Musk took over. It's difficult to know who is creepier.
  23. Post your own links to how healthy the US economy is, then.
