Australia to introduce fuel rationing where you can only fill up a private vehicle with a curb weight 1500kg or less. Shortages over.

Boeing jet gifted to Trump by Qatari royal family to be delivered by summer Controversial gifted jetliner described as a ‘flying palace’ is anticipated to be used as new Air Force One plane

Maybe Qatar should have save the money it splurged on Trump's flying palace & spent it on air defence or its own navy to defend the Hormuz Strait. share.google/KwEeyOA1dMUo...

Yeah, these people are in a Kafka-esque nightmare. All their options are very tough.

And to add to the unsolicited advice (sorry) getting added through My Aged Care for services you can access can be really helpful. There are a lot of services to help people stay at home. If you can find access to them.

Not to be too Singaporean about things. But now the question becomes: where to eat near the hospital.

Another amazingly good experience of public health care in Singapore. National Skin Centre. So modern and organised.

Cumbrian language was basically just standard Welsh? WTF? Scottish people speaking Welsh? Well, OK then.

Basically agree with this thread, although it's annoying that it frames the closure of the coal industry as a bad thing rather than a good and necessary thing that was poorly executed

Trump: We need you to...
Albo: We know! We know! Send sailors to die in your pointless war! We're ready sir! We're ready! In fact, why don't we just kill our sailors here in Australia and you can have their blood on your hands right away sir!
Trump: That's what I like to hear.

Also, not a great finale. It's the classic 'trial' but, well, if you've seen Q in TNG it's just not even on the same scale. They really wasted what they built with Tatiana Maslany in the penultimate episode. She's so good... but then... well... the lack of growth and development...

It's got a brilliant cast, of which Tig Notaro and Gina Yeshere are my favourites. But they're all individually good... but it just didn't really gel. The development of character arcs was too random... it wasn't actually woke enough, and well... yeah... Discovery or SNW do such a better job.

So, I've now watched the full first season of Starfleet Academy. Meh. It's got all the right elements, but needed a) stronger writing and b) well, actually just a). Too many 'magic' problems and solutions. Things set up and then immediately used. Tone varying so wildly across episodes.

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.

Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

Tomorrow is the Ides of March. Just a little fun idea for the people in Trump's cabinet. Many of whom are huge fans of both history and Shakespeare, I'm sure.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
