No way could I stop myself from checking .. he could be slumped across the seat dead or dying and I would never forgive myself ...

Or packing up ready to move out ...

Yeah, I watch a lot of crime/mystery shows :)

Or he could be waiting for the huntsman to leave ... or go back into hiding.
Yep I did that once :)

On a more pleasant note ... my house passed its inspection for the all clear for the investor to buy ... and had 7mm of very light rain ... but it all adds up.

@andyjennings

This one ...?

"An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

Thing is ... the first two factors contributing to inflation are things the general populace can't do anything about ...

We can't and governments won't control the rents, the outrage from Investors would be earth shattering.

We and government can't control the purchase of Durable Goods because the economy is based on consumerism and it's all about jobs, jobs, jobs ..
And because it is so, white good rarely last five years and many don't even last a year past the guarantee, so need to be replaced on a regular basis. Same with cars.

The Market Services is about lifestyle choices and what the hell does a Medical Appointment have to do with choices?

Funny how the inflation rate was down with all of the rate cuts while we were told to spend, spend, spend for jobs, jobs. jobs under the Liberal government ... but suddenly inflation doubled from 2021 to over 6% in 2022 and rate rises were suddenly urgent as soon as Labor got into office ...
But they say coincidences do happen ...

From my view the RBA's decisions are all about Mates Rates ... like workers not asking for wage rises ... And spending less will mean lower profits and workers put off which will require more welfare ...

It's a Catch 22 situation and the public be damned ...
Rich bankers only want other people's money in the bank while they spend on restaurant meals, taxis, haircuts, gym memberships and holiday travel ...

@jhaue

Yep ...
And Victoria has bushfires every day, all year round ... even in winter.
They don't make the news because they've become so common ... and aren't destroying buildings.

Don't know about the rest of the country but one only has to look at the Vicemergency website to see them ... Right at this very moment, despite the cold and damp, there are three bushfires listed ...

And floods ... It's a weird world ...

@Fragglemuppet

I'm guilty of that ... but my pics and links are just proof of what I wrote about ... and there's no counter here to say how many people looked so I assume only the people I follow, or are on the same server actually look at my rambling :)

It's rare that I see people other than those I follow too ...

But I will try to remember in future :)

@Fragglemuppet

Ok I'll bite ... no idea what a CW is ...

Alt text I've seen and to me it looks like I have to retype the story ...

@thomasfuchs

Thankfully never saw the pic on the left but think the one on the right was them watching the death of Osama Bin Laden ...

So wondering .....

@Leisureguy @feditips

Where would it go so it showed though.

I just tried and it didn't show unless ID was clicked on and I'm not sure many would bother ... unless something very controversial was stated :)

@Leisureguy @feditips

Yes I understand that :) but where does one actually put that information ...?
