I’d be putting power and a tv in the rice shed, or Mrs Owl, whichever was easiest… ????

Different country, but what happens in Oz when the internet is down is the transaction is stored (seamlessly and automatically) and when the internet thingy is restored the transaction gets processed, hard for a dinosaur to understand I guess…

I sent Ody a pm earlier this year, he said he was "taking a break from the forum" such is the nature of fora i guess, but it also leaves one to ponder our mortality, at least I do on occasion. I do hope that everyone is keeping warm, dry and well, particularly you Odyssius. I'm sure that AT is with his bike and probably truck somewhere...

I do at every opportunity... ???? Ill pass it on, with thanks Owl.

Its a refreshingly different read Owl, the <deleted> and their egos don't or at least rarely visit. Happy Birthday for you. Speaking of such, today is Mrs HP's birthday, shes celebrating by helping a friend cut mangos...????

They usually trim the toenails though...

I had to learn the technique from a book, I was fairly quick, but I've got no hope of remembering that far back, or more to the point I wasn't quick enough to have a time worth remembering... ! ????

Im not sure its the best thing for the plastic but when I was a youngster my mates and I would lubricate our Rubiks Cubes with vasilene or baby oil, but I'm sure there are better lubes than that available. It really sped them up.

Straight to the point again I see, YOU are the one who throws the insults around. You've talked so much garbage in this thread that you've confused yourself... your only consistency is to abuse others, throw accusations around and claim to know all on the subject of the $AUD. So again I invite you to put your considerable prowess to work and make some specific predictions to give yourself some credibility...

maybe a little extreme @ozimoron but yeah, I'd like to see a little more love in the world too.

Forget the left/right crapshooot mate. Just try to analyse the facts, sure at the end of the day one source may be left or right leaning and you can weigh that into your interpretation but stand away and consider the facts first and foremost, its called critical thinking as opposed to blindly following.

Seeing as how you are magnificent in your comprehension of these matters, perhaps in order to demonstrate your greatness and as an act of benevolence you could set out some over the next 12 months (or until the world ends should that be sooner) dates and nominate the rates that know so surely will apply ? Your attempting of this would be greatly convincing to me and I suspect others of your competence. Of course your failure to act will prove to all and sundry exactly the sort of person you are… Mai Pen Rai my friend…

Credible fact checkers bow to acknowledged experts in their respective fields… I do believe that all fact checkers are not equal, but then again “poor” fact checkers are not fact checkers at all, they are lobbyists.

My FIL passed away in mid 2019 I wasn’t able to attend but my wife said it cost 200k. 3-4 days of party and of course the disco refrigerator. Small village outside of Phon Phisai.

He’ll defend himself ok until the cash is gone, how else do you get away with slander like he did a couple of years ago ?

Your second and third paragraphs make sense, but then you let yourself down by not appreciating that politicians act with similar biases as the general population. What they should have done was listen to actual scientists and then translated that science speak into a language of and for the people… instead many pushed their own self inflated personal opinions at the expense of experts in the field of virology and vaccination.

Sounds like the copper might be nailing her as well...

Whoever is THEY ARE BEING RIPPED OFF !!

Not all goals come easy...

Just ask him how great he was...

@BritManToo as for the chaff, I think a lot of them are engaged in keeping people playing nice. Personally I think theres too many unkind, scruple less, liars with vested interests around to be allowing them to have free reign and thats without even considering Russia, China and plain old boring criminals.

Any or all of the above... I don't know the nuts and bolts of the cyber industry (see what I did there ? ???? ) to understand if "X" staff is too many, though I'm sure that PayPal had more than a software writer and a receptionist...

I'm happy to be corrected but how exactly was Twitter failing prior to Musk entering the fray ? Who knows how Twitter would be travelling if Musk had of stuck to calling rescuers pedo's but he seems hell bent on turning a large business into a small one... EDIT: And now that he owns it, I guess hes allowed to destroy it... sad for the people who enjoyed working there though.

So YOU say. I have zero doubt about your response if you WERE immune compromised... But I understand how its such a burden to think and act in the best interests of others for a tiny, tiny % of the time.

Correct answer. Hard to get a drink in a closed bar... ????
