do you think Biden will work across the aisle, may be have couple Republicans in the government and govern in the center? To get anything (other than judges) passed against Mitch's will, he will need a dozen defections. Mitch will want nothing substantial/desirable to pass, as it will make Biden/th...

On a similar note, have to say I'm impressed with Rick Santorum appearing on the CNNpanel and sticking up for the Republicans. Good for him, he's decent . I am assuming there is another Rick Santorum, other than the bible-thumping, hate-mongering, climate-change-denying piece of shit that once ran ...

Steven Shepard Senior campaigns and elections editor11:12 p.m. Alex’s sources are likely right, and it’s going to be a long wait.

If Biden does manage to flip NC, he no longer needs to flip Penn or Arizona (could even lose New Hampshire), as long as he takes MN, WI and MI.

Demilich

Ohio likely to still be out of sync with early votes making up a fair chunk of the current total - likely to tighten up/swing red still.

Yeah, Kentucky already being called for Trump there.

And Vermont being called for Biden with 0% counted.

If you're going to take trophy fish, then those ones make much more ethical sense than most. They aren't native species, they are being caught in man made hyrdo canals and they get that size due to the abundance of food coming out of the fish farms in the canals, rather than having lived an exceptio...

So what are peoples feelings on the critical states right now? Taking into account that there may be under-polling for Trump again (which may or may not be the case this time round), for mine Arizona and the blue leaning congressional district of Nebraska look like keys for Biden. If Trump takes all...

Anyone keep them? Thinking of getting an indoor one for the lad. Would be more kakariki, ringneck or Monk than cockatiel, budgie or Grey. Not too loud, and not too high maintenance i.e. can be left alone. Any suggestions? You near Esher or Staines? Thousands of the noisy, shiteing things around the...

I had a male eclectus. Lovely birds, not dusty and relatively quiet compared to lost parrots. Unfortunately, he was quite smart and he worked out how to unlock his cage. Eventually, despite padlocks and other security, he got out and was hit by a car. Anyway, he was a great pet - good with the kid....

Demilich

Although this sounds like it taking the piss, it actually isn't. If you have the yard space, a couple of baby chickens to be hand-raised make really good first bird pets for young kids who have an interest in birds, and have the bonus of being content in a "flock" of two if the kid loses interest or...

Oh, and I hold little hope of the NFL season not falling apart entirely, unfortunately. Too many teams have already had their byes to allow much more rescheduling. They should have factored in two extra "bye weeks" and not assigned any teams to any byes from the outset - just used them to reshuffle ...

I have actually enjoyed watching the NFL more than rugby/league in recent years - an excellent game of rugby/league is still better, but overall I just get more enjoyment from that. The fact the game allows something like Redzone coverage is great - 8 games on at once and you're just seeing the exci...

"Fine" is a bit of a relative term - it's similar to leaving a dog chained up in a small yard all day. Easy enough to convince yourself it's "fine" (and if you spend hours giving it attention every morning and evening, it may well be), but it does affect them. If it is for one of your kids (and it w...

They make great pets and, if properly bonded with you, can be as affectionate as cats. The bonding thing is key though - they are social animals and need a lot of company and therefore a lot of attention. If you work from home and can have them out of the cage most of the day, they are an excellent ...

I mean, he was a crazy man but I don't think he is unlikeable.

Never really saw him as that unlikeable - other than the fact that he may be the most South African-looking non-South African in existence.

Not much of a Storm fan, but Ivan Cleary losing was my preferred outcome. :thumbup: Coupled with Moses and Matterson missing out on Origin (and Matterson seemingly ending up further away from it than he was when he chucked his toys and sooked his way out of his contract at the Tigers), it wasn't suc...

As an All Blacks fan as a kid, I always had a seemingly irrational hatred of Walter Little. It wasn't because I thought he was rubbish (he obviously wasn't). I suspect it may have just been because he played for North Harbour. Richard Loe - not for the elbow incident (it twas only a Wallaby, after a...

For quite a few years, Folau was the face of Australian rugby. He was heavily featured in all our advertising. I have no doubt that his value from a marketing point of view far outweighed what he was paid. Like him or loathe him, he had amazing talent (and some significant weaknesses). I get the ar...

Demilich

Nah, Folau was good. Really good. For a while there he was the only Wallaby who'd be in a World Team. He should have been played on the wing though. Yet another Cheika call. It's not RA's fault he went off the deep end. Yes, he was good. World class. Even if you completely disregard him "going off ...

Sailor found something of his old form and played the house down right up until his last game pre-rugby. Tuqiri played like a ruptured arse, making me - and others, no doubt - wonder if he was having major second thoughts about the code swap. They were both good acquisitions IMHO. It might have bee...

I have voted early for The Opportunities Party. Can someone tell me why they are not getting more traction? They seem to be the only party willing to put out some evidence based ideas. They are probably struggling to get out of the shadow of the Morgan empire. Ordinary people don't trust quick mone...

His response started off well with the travel ban to China but meandered off to nothing when the pandemic really took off. A lot of Governors did very poor job too like sending covid-19 patients to rest homes... It wasn't a travel ban from China though - it was restrictions, which still allowed ten...

Cam gone to Covid reserve. Two games postponed now. Get the feeling that this season is going to unravel fast.

Seven replies in and no one has yet come up with a "more disgraceful thing you can do to a dying person"... What has happened to the bored? In days gone by, we would have been able to publish an "Idiots Guide to The Most Disgraceful things you can do to a Dying Person" by this point! I am disappoint.

Nothing to see here, move along please.

Considering what came to light in the Josh Reynolds case earlier this year, I suspect they aren't going to be in a rush to immediately condemn him simply based on what is being reported to the press.

A shared potential susceptibility to mutant fungus - we could almost be soul-mates!

Demilich

The vast majority of fungi require temperatures colder than mammalian body temperature (37 Celsius), which means we are far less susceptible to fungal infections than reptiles. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/12/101222121610.htm If they start to adapt to higher temperatures, then previous...

Demilich

I listened to an interesting podcast discussing how the increasing number of high temperature days, is leading to some fungi mutating/evolving to be more tolerant of higher temperatures, to the point that some are now able to survive at 37 Celsius, allowing them to survive in the human body.

I don’t get all the ‘begrudging’ respect or the ‘my only favourite Aus player’. There are so many great Australian cricketers from my youth. And even amongst them Deano stood out as one of a kind. He was unorthodox and destructive with it. He was awesome to watch. Sad loss. RIP. Sure, there were lo...
