What happens if the unfed troops decide not to turn up to work due to breach of (implied?) contract? No food no fight?

They've been doing it for decades. Happened to me 20 years ago.

Sounds fair, the retailers are paying a pittance for rooftop solar generated by consumers, so๐Ÿ–•to them. My modest rooftop solar system (no battery) puts more kWh into the grid than it takes out over a year, but I pay much more for what I take out than what I put in. Thanks Chris Bowen!

Today we announce Solar Sharer.ย 

A plan to share the excess solar energy our nation generates to provide every Australia with free power for at least 3 hours during the day.

There are a lot of ads on Nine for the Golden Batchelor (un)reality show. Is it as awful as the ads suggest, and is it tanking? There seems to be a lot of lip filler and silicon on display...

I'm waiting for Trump to announce he's pardoning Andrew Windsor.

(Yes I know he can't, but when have minor technicalities ever bothered Trump)

Outsider (Australian) looking in: is the literacy problem getting worse with time? There has been a lot of comment about the 'dumbing-down' of America over recent decades. Is it deliberate, intended to produce a class of people who are limited to receiving information and opinions from TV only?

I just finished watching the movie 'Failsafe' (1964) on YouTube. I saw it a long time ago and I've been wanting to see it again since. It just showed up on YouTube movies, ten days ago apparently. It's one of the great cold war movies. Definitely worth a watch, ๐Ÿ’ฏ

I (Australian) used to wonder about how long the US empire would last, but I was thinking beyond my lifetime. Now it looks like I may outlive the US empire.

Strange times.

I found their feedback page under 'Contact us' and carefully described what I see as the failings of the new site. But my annoyance got the better of me once and 'crock of ***t' did get a mention ๐Ÿคฃ

In a similar vein to my post below, if #PrinceAndrew ends up being sentenced to a stint in prison, would the Tower of London be a suitable 'residence'?
There'd be plenty of ghosts in there for him to talk to, possibly even a couple of distant relatives to share stories with...๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Just contemplating #PrinceAndrew 's future...๐Ÿคช
If he was given an option to leave the country with, say, enough money to live modestly for the rest of his life, where might he go?
He has rellies in Greece, Germany and Russia - I don't think Greece or Germany would touch him, but Russia?
Thoughts?

California has a population slightly smaller than Canada, and significantly larger than Australia. Canada and Australia both have health care systems that make health care available to all at little or no cost. Keep going California, you could lead the US out of its current health-care disaster.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. There's too much weirdness going on in politics all round the world, so I suppose we have to keep up. I wonder how his supporters in New England will take it? Too far Barnaby, or, we'll follow Barnaby wherever he goes?
And Vicki? She's already in PHON land.๐Ÿคช

The only uncertainty was how long would the cease fire last. It didn't actually get to full implementation before it started to break down.
