You OK? Hard to see what your contribution to the discussion on the country of manufacture for EVs is. Maybe a little retrospect on your comment placement.

What is telling is the new BYD factory complex in Zhengzhou has a footprint which will cover an area of 130 square kilometers โ€“ more than San Francisco, Paris, or Barcelona. and pump out more than 1 million cars a year.

"Our national neighbors to the north have already caved". Caved to what? Perhaps they've made a sound commercial decision which isn't tainted by racism.

Cheap pest control, turn it up loud, rats, cockroaches, bedbugs will all flee the carnage.

That woman is digging her own special place in hell. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?

She is taking air time and the spotlight off of him. He's livid, anyone but him being the centre of attention is unacceptable, so he tries to turn the spotlight back to him any way he can by interfering.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Thought i was seriously unwell during this morning's ablutions. Then i remembered i ate almost a whole can of beetroot yesterday. Kinda relieved!

So much for separation of church and state. This sort of performative hatred would never be seen in a civilised nation.

Living where i do i have bucket loads of vinyards not far, just across the river in Langhorne Creek. There's one winery, who's wines i really like run by two women. Met them a few times and I assumed they were lesbians. I've just found out they're sisters. Oops!

He was raping little girls genitals by penetrating them with his fingers. How on earth did you miss that if you're that civic minded? My comment on your behaviour stands, morally corrupt.

No, No, No! Any mentions of 'valentines' by random posts is an instant block, FFS it's over a week away and i'm swamped. I put up with all the halloween and christmas shit but i'm drawing a line on this nonsense.

I'd take that as a win! Other theatres know what to do now, it must be heartbreaking pouring money into heating and lighting for an empty theatre all day.

Yep, i've ditched some potentially interesting podcasts for the exact same reason.

What fresh hell is this? Just seen an ad for the slovenian whore's movie on Australian free to air TV. Spare us from this nightmare, we don't deserve such unnanounced torture.

What a vile comment, trivialising child rape for your disgusting amusement is abhorrent.

What the hell is that new sheild thing in front of the fire? More gold sprayed temu plastic. Civilised countries laugh until they vomit over this rubbish. Will the humiliation of a nation ever end?

Rare fungus spotted for first time in 50 years Mushroom hunters on the Isle of Man are left marveling at the rediscovery of Cobalt Crust fungus.

Why is it blue? Most likely lives in heavy shade in forests, it has an evolutionary advantage to collect blue wavelengths not green and although it cannot produce food on it's own the blue anthocyanins, gather the energy and pass it on to the cells that do. Clever eh?
