Tesla has canceled plans to bring the Cybertruck to the Australian marketReportedly Tesla is refunding all deposits put down by interested Aussies. Presumbly Telsa is no longer interested in trying to get Cybertrucks built for RHD (are there any RHD countries that get them?) and is presumably not interested in building... See More »
Anti-virus software is now the virusMcAfee - subscription scam Norton - subscription scam Microsoft Defender - Windows 11 has turned into a subscription scam (12 will be).
Mower in for a service and repairs - after 10 years owning it my skills/abilities to service repair are at their limitsI've done plenty of minor service and repair jobs to the mower - A Supaswift 'little bob' with Honda motor - but today things happened that pushed my abilities too far so I took it down to the local mower place for TLC. The local mower place is... See More »
Jammers and blockers - sounds like contraceptives but I think it's actually roller derby 8-)One of the female managers at my work does roller derby - that's all I know about it.
Could Trump be kicked out of office and trigger a fresh election if he crashes at the mid-terms?If Trump loses, does that make Vance automatically the new sitting President (which is what the Heritage Foundation has always wanted and been planning for)? Does a failure by Trump 'nullify' his electoral college result from the 2024 elections and... See More »
Austrailian independent MP Helen Haines run down by crazed man in broad daylightShe has now lost one leg and is at risk of losing her other leg. This is a deliberate act of home grown terrorism and the only 'weapon' involved was a vehicle, though a knife was found on the man when bystanders subdued him after making multiple... See More »
If you are in a relationship are you part of a 'power couple' ?Apparently power couples are martied socialites or similar
Induction vs non-induction electric cooktopsEveryone pushes induction cooktops now, but I'm not convinced. I'm now moving on to starting to work on updating the 25 year old electric cooktop, oven and dodgy almost worthless rangehood. I have budgeted about $3000 to buy the equipment and cover... See More »
Ever heard of something called 'hob2hood'?It's nothing kinky though you might think so when you first hear about it. Apparently it's a way for a cooktop (hob) to wirelessly communicate with a rangehood (hood) so that the cooktop controls the rangehood remotely. I did some researching and... See More »
Do you believe in the red/green/blue/black/etc. pill theory?I don't really know what it means other than being some way to categorise a person's approach to human adult interactions.
Do you have either a virtual or physical 'digital wallet' and do you inplicitly trust digital money?I don't, and I don't. There's no level of security that is really enough with digital money - it's how much you choose to place your trust in it that matters. I realise digital transactions are a thing, and for almost all online buying paying... See More »
Trump vs Tigger - oh my lordy lordHe must have some whack-a-doodle fanboys in the digital space to be putting out AI shit at the rate that he does.
I've never given my bank or credit/debit card details to FB yet 'FB' is attempting to charge me US$2 - I call it fraudHowever the way banks now use AI and chatbots for everything makes reporting/disputing transactions online (or via bank app) or by phone ultra-frustrating. FFS! I've blocked my card until I go in person to bank branch (yes it still has one here) and... See More »
Did Lindsay Clancy unalive her children in order to claim on any life insurance that covered them?Funny how everyone quickly forgets about stuff that makes women look bad, yet keeps focusing on stuff that makes men look bad. I dunno if LC is alleged to have killed her kids via her post-partum delusion partly in order to claim on any life... See More »
To have a job in US government, or military, do you have to declare your political allegiance(s)?ie. if you do not support the incumbent mantra that is in power at the executive level of US government is that considered reason to decline you for hiring in exclusivity? I've never been asked about my political views when I worked in a government... See More »
Trump's new press secretary looks like a mini-Melania and acts like a good-girl press byter (sic)Saw one pic of her and I instantly thought 'mini Melania'. To me, she's fugly and unattractive. But so typical of a disgusting man using sex to sell his corrupt product to a specific crowd.
What do you think about life insurance? Do you have it? Or not? Is it good, or bad, or something else?I don't have any and have never felt the need to explore that space. I also don't have any income protection insurance. To me life insurance (like income protection) looks more like a gimmick. Just my view and I know others will think differently.
Who will admit to having an alt account here or elsewhere?I have an alt FB account. I don't pretend to be something I'm not so it's just a different format of my name and the correct gender like the 'original me' (lol) has. ie. a man with man things. If you have an alt account, is it the 'same sex' as you... See More »
Finally had my 25+ year old defective split-system AC replaced with a brand new 7 kW capacity modern oneInstalled last week, first proper use today when temps outside have hit mid-30's C. Nice to come home from work and have an AC system that actually works for a change with our summer not far away. It doesn't have fancy schmancy wi-fi or any other... See More »
Trump chucks a tanty at not being awarded the Nobel Peace PrizeHe keep spouting false facts and toxic rhetoric like it's going to change the outcome.
So now any new infection that affects humans is called 'the plague' to try and scare people into getting jabbed for it...Is this the latest way to try and frighten people into getting covid jabs (and those who got them originally 'returning to the church')...
Is 'true love' of a women proportionate to the size (perceived or actual) of a man's finances?What about the other elements of the 666-rule?
