Around that time there was a video of someone hacking a car from a laptop and controlling it while the driver couldn't. Both people were in the same car. There's been a few weird deaths like that lately.

I'll see if I can chase it up.

Surprised Trump hasn’t Tweeted about this yet. I also wonder if Trump will explain why America is refusing to stop occupying Iraq after the Iraqi government voted for them to leave and have asked them to leave

He's already said he wants oil.

Have you read Margaret Attwood's tremendously excellent Oryx and Crake series?

I have always meant to but rarely get to read books these days.

I dunno if they'll succeed but I think they'll have a crack.

It was more the US losing serious power bit.

KSA is brown bread, just a matter of how long. As The War Nerd says, it as stable and resilient as a Moon Colony.

The Iranians proved how vulnerable it is with one 5 per cent op on Abqaiq ... that immediately sent the Saudis scuttling to make nice with Iran.

So I've just perused this fine board and the mental imagine I have on our current posting is this..............




So I've decided to write the AFL with an innovative approach to all future seasons. There's 365 day most years and 396 games of AFL football. IF the AFL drops all *blockbuster games and just allocate two points to each of those sides. We'll be left with a game every day.

That of course means there's no 3-4 months of downtime where people have too much time to think and clearly go bat shit crazy.

You can all thank me later, will let you know how I go



* GF isn't a blockbuster because we're in it, just ask the wider BF community
