Talk about an elder-moment. I personally have a whole slew of red-wine stained restaurant tablecloths in my wake with an equal number of restaurateurs regretting I ever darkened their doors.

Well done. DoorDash and UberEats should both be congratulated for having come to the party on this.

“Providing false information…“ = “lying“ surely.
Doing so to a Senate committee is pretty serious isn’t it? Jail time for contempt type of serious?
As others suggest, he’s probably hard to fire. but there surely should be an impeachment mechanism built into the whole process.

Yet another state liberal party action to change the clown at the wheel of the clown car. Whatever happens, it’s still a clown.

Rained all day off and (mainly) on, with a full on sturm and drang thunderstorm in the evening.

We got 30mm yesterday here in Adelaide.

To paraphrase BBC announcer back in the day, talking about the West Indies, “England won the toss and elected to collapse“.

Used to have a second team, the Montreal SomethingOrOthers which relocated and are now the Washington Nationals.

Baseball would be a bigger there because of the proximity of MLB down in USA, which would be aspirational for young Canadians.

I once tried to explain cricket to a Canadian with a similar lack of success, in spite of our common Britannic heritage. We did have a chuckle over terms such as “bowling a maiden over“ though.

Plus an unhealthy dose of her own disingenuous idiocy no doubt.

Freaking out your kids is one of the perks of parenthood, second only perhaps to embarrassing them in public.🤣

One of each. May we expect a video of them going hammer and tongs ☺️

i’ve been meaning to compliment you on your photography. You rarely miss getting a good composition and a perfect exposure. Well done. Tell me do you shoot raw?

Addendum: when the electrician came down after finding the bad circuit, he was literally white-faced and trembling from his near miss.

So, your point is quite relevant but in older houses wiring should be checked, particularly if the house dated from a time when standards weren’t as high as they are now. 3/3

They found that there was a loop in the circuitry which was not grounded, such that the electrician only avoided electrocution because of due diligence in the testing of each circuit. 2/3

Agreed, but with a cautionary note:
Our house was built in the mid 60s. A couple of years ago we had the main distribution board replaced with something more modern. In doing so the electricians needed to re-check the wiring, by way of deciding which circuits to place everything on. 1/3

As noted there, the 737 was as light as possible, no people, no fuel no nothing, but still it was impressive. 2/2

Back in the lead up to the 2019 election, when Morrison made his “… You can’t tow your boat with an EV“ statement, someone immediately posted a link to a YouTube video made 18 months prior to that showing a Tesla towing a 737 aeroplane. 1/2
