Last post by Lods -No doubt he'd blame everyone but himself.
But I suspect it would put a dent in his support.
Once the cracks start to really appear watch the rats desert the ship.
Watch Rubio in particular.

Last post by DJC -The deployment of special forces troops from NATO nations to Greenland will dampen his ardour too.
I suppose that will count as another war that he’s stopped 🙄

Last post by Lods -No it's not.
Probably a good decision...but the Iranian protestors now know, what most of the world knows.
That the "flip-flop" man cant be relied on when the chips are down.

Last post by northernblue -Ev batteries will outlast the vehicles, ie 20-30yrs before being repurposed, it’s what the science shows it’s what real world charging data shows.
Go and educate yourself ffs.

Last post by LP -Then you wake up today to read Tesla is moving features and capabilities you were waiting for, or some you already had, into subscription only. The car you've already bought and paid for is now going to cost you more on top of the energy and servicing bills, just to keep it running!
Who'd have thunk it!
You can see why RedTrump and Musk get along just fine.
They've turned your car into a phone service, how long before they start turning off the service when the Corporate AI Robo Debt claims you are in default?
Even worse, those low cost Chinese EVs, they'll see this happening and think "I'll have a bit of that!"
All this before battery shock hits you at year 10!

Last post by ElwoodBlues1 -Maybe Bazball should be renamed Boozeball, I cant see how McCullum survives given the English off field culture is Rat crape and the Management wont call out the bad behaviour and lack of professionalism from the playing group.

Last post by LP -I'd just like to acknowledge Australian Test captain Alyssa Healy's wonderful career now that she has announced her retirement. She has had an outstanding career in all forms of the game.
I really enjoyed listening to her insights in the commentary box. She is extremely knowledgeable, speaks clearly and explains things very well, and has a good sense of humour without being blokey. I think part of her post-playing career is sewn up!
Congratulations!
The girls are really showing that in some sports the difference in performance between men and women can quite small. I accept we are unlikely to see a 200cm 150kph bowler in the women's competition, but there are already plenty pushing towards the 130kph mark and that's plenty by the standards of the vast majority of cricketers male or female.
