.....replaced it with a kangaroo, thus causing great confusion amongst his military comrades, who all thought he'd been to Hong Kong and scored an Aussie souvenir hat from a returning Chinese tourist after a visit to Australia. It wasn't long after that episode, that Harry started to be called "Skip" by his comrades (and we all know what the Chinese are like, for making fun of peoples names). "Skip" in Chinese actually means doing a pretty anti-social act, so it wasn't long before the sound of "Hey, Skip!" brought guffaws from the assorted PLA comrades nearby, and.......................

Hmmm, yes - all good in theory, but what about negative G in flight?

I'd like to know what kind of tyres they're using, that can stay together safely at 472kmh!! Not Chinese ones, surely!! 🤯 I won't have Chinese tyres on the steers of my truck, and I know a lot of other truck drivers who think the same. I'll use Chinese tyres on the drive, but there's only two steer tyres and I want them to be the best I can buy! I blew a front tyre once, on an old ACCO tip truck I that owned back in the 1970's - when it blew, (on the LHF) it pulled me straight off the road, and there was nothing I could do to stop it! And that truck was flat strap at 85kmh. My current truck does 119kmh ex-factory, so more speed today to go further off the road! I hate to think what would happen if one of those EV tyres blew at 400kmh+, it would rip huge chunks out of the car. I've blown rear truck tyres, they usually take the entire steel mudguard off with them.

You just gotta admire the workmanship in that duct tape!

Did the book tell you about the cunning level of misinformation that would be readily available in the 21st century? 😄

You'll have to use your imagination, the day you require some repair or service to the Nokia! Technology and IT products in particular, all change at warp speed, it's a struggle to keep up sometimes. The constant changes to signal transmission modes and frequencies is one you need to be on top of. Wi-Fi standards are now up to Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be), which offers significant speed increases, wider bandwidth (320 MHz channels), and enhanced reliability compared to previous standards. But they're already working on releasing Wi-Fi 8, which will change again for major improvements. Communication companies keep adding frequencies - analogue, 2G and 3G are long gone, 5G is the standard now, even though most of us are still on 4G. No doubt 6G is on its way. One day you'll suddenly find, the Nokia simply doesn't work any more! - because it doesn't have the inbuilt capabilities to handle the new frequencies and standards.

.....intent on telling his war stories about his time on the Khyber Pass, and other exotic adventures that made Garrison "Gunslinger" St Clair, look like a pussy. However few people knew the truth. Turbo had never been to Afghanistan, and he certainly wasn't a Khyber Pass veteran. The Khyber Pass he often regaled tales about, was actually a small geographic feature outside Darraweit Guim, called Kybah Pass, located on one of the five rivers that ran through DG. Turbo had been stuck there once, when he ran out of ammo whilst rabbit shooting - and the DG rabbits had surrounded him (they're pretty mean critters, those DG rabbits). Turbo had to do a quick retreat back down the river before the rabbits kicked him to death, and buried him in a disused burrow. But in Turbo's mind, this was the equivalent of real war, and he could play it, for all it was worth. He failed to mention how CT9000 came to his rescue in his CTLS turbo, and popped off the 600 rabbits that were threatening him, in the space of less than..............

I think Aaron meant to write, "haven't been a force in the handset world since Google and Apple crucified them for going with Microsoft". In other words, Nokia no longer make handsets, haven't done for some years, and they concentrate on other areas of communication business today.

Boost, which was formerly a subsidiary of Telstra, is now owned 100% by Telstra, after Telstra bought out the co-founder, Peter Adderton and other shareholders, in Dec 2024, for $140M. Former PM Paul Keating was a sizeable shareholder in Boost, and received a tidy windfall gain in the deal. Boost always has been a "full service" partner of Telstra, and whatever services Telstra provide, should be automatically available with Boost - unlike a number of other cheap Telstra service provider partners, who only offer a limited Telstra service. These cheaper Telstra service provider partners are often denied access to some Telstra services and cell towers - or if the system become overloaded, Telstra will shed these providers clients, in favour of Telstra clients. QUOTE: "Telstra acquired the pre-paid mobile services provider Boost Mobile in December 2024 for approximately $140 million, consolidating the brand under Telstra's ownership and control. Previously, Telstra was responsible for Boost Mobile's network access and most operations, while Boost focused on its branding and marketing. The acquisition was a strategic move by Telstra to better manage its multi-brand strategy and retain a profitable customer base. Key Details of the Acquisition: Date: The acquisition was announced on 2nd December 2024 and the deal was completed at the end of that month. Price: The deal was valued at approximately $140 million. Reason: Telstra aimed to bring all aspects of the Boost Mobile business under one roof, allowing for better integration into its multi-brand strategy. Previous Relationship: Boost Mobile had been a partner of Telstra for over 13 years prior to the acquisition. Founders' Involvement: Boost Mobile co-founder Peter Adderton is no longer involved with the company, focusing on his US-based MobileX brand. Former Prime Minister Paul Keating, who co-founded the business, received $40M from the sale."

....calling them forlatters. Not many people know that the forlatters are an offshoot of the bull tribal group, thus the use of lower case for their group name. Just like bull, they also come from a long-established fishing background - mostly fishing for suckers to rip off mercilessly. To this end, the forlatters had spent lengthy periods studying the Turbine Media Inc publications, many of which had curious titles, such as "How To Get Rich Quick and Not Get Caught". The forlatters very quickly saw the benefits of studying these books, so it wasn't long before.....

The early M20's up to 1965 had manually retractable undercarriage with a big "Johnson bar" lever. "Johnson bar" comes from locomotive terminology, and is a term used on a wide range of equipment, where you need to pull a big lever. From 1965, Mooney offered electrically activated undercarriage retraction on the M20 as an option. In 1969, the manual retraction system was dropped completely and only electric retraction was offered from then on. VH-TWV was built in 1985 according to the rego details, so it will have electrically-operated undercarriage. If the undercarriage was retracted while taxying, then that's an aircraft fault, because the M20 with electric retraction has an airspeed lockout to prevent retraction on the ground.

Well, I know that PayPal charge a flat 2.5% for most transactions, and if the transaction is into a different currency, they give you a crappy exchange rate, which means they fill their pockets again.

The Applepay surcharge? This is what AI tells me..... QUOTE: "While Apple Pay itself doesn't charge users a fee for using the service, some businesses might apply a surcharge to transactions made with any card payment method, including Apple Pay, according to Credit Union SA. These surcharges are usually a percentage of the purchase price and are intended to cover the costs associated with processing card payments. The surcharge is not specific to Apple Pay; it applies to any transaction where a card is used, whether it's through a physical card or a digital wallet like Apple Pay."

This was his first effort, May 14th, 2023. Seems like he might be a bit of a slow learner, I thought doing it once would be enough of a wake-up call.

Methusala, it wouldn't be the first time an outnumbered country invaded by a larger and heavier-armed country, won their war, because of faulty strategies on the part of the invader. I've been a front-line participant in one of those wars, where a guerrilla army with limited resources, but possessing rat-cunning resourcefulness, backed by a near-fanatical drive to rid their country of the worlds best-armed aggressive invader, actually won in the end - simply because the invader did not possess adequate fighting morale, and didn't have the full backing of their population. There's a lesson there for one Russian dictator, who also lacks a military force with adequate fighting morale, a military that lacks capable leadership, and a population that doesn't exactly wholeheartedly support the dictator. This current major East European conflict will continue as a war of attrition - and Russia is up against a spirited and dedicated population, who are also innovative and resourceful - and when the Russian losses reach a critical level (or the dictator dies, or is assassinated), then I would wager there will be a major crisis within Russia, as to whether it's worth them continuing an endless war, with minimal gains, that could last 15 years or more. This was America's conundrum, and they took the decision to go home and cut their monstrous losses - which losses kept the country poor for more than a decade - and the full cost of that futile war is still felt today in the U.S. Russia has yet to face up to the full cost of their poorly-run current war.

Well, I was under the impression you were trying to make out the Chinese technological developments are the result of their innate skills. The bottom line is, they indulge in theft of Western technology wholesale (including massive levels of industrial espionage), to ensure they can gain technologically. Add in their long-term effort aimed at gaining total or majority control of critical minerals (rare earths and zinc come to mind, straight up), and it becomes obvious that the long term game of the Chinese is world domination of minerals, technology and manufacturing, by any and every method available.

The bottom line is, no matter how much anyone claims the Bristell is a perfect machine with zero faults, its safety record shows otherwise. And at this point, we have another crashed Bristell, to add to the list of crashed Bristells here - and we have no knowledge of what happened, and are not likely to find out. But the bottom line is, a virtually new factory-built aircraft, piloted by a gentleman with excellent piloting skills, left an airstrip with zero communication of any kind (in itself, utterly baffling) and totally disappeared without a trace. And no-one has discovered what happened with the Bristell that crashed and burnt right out at Redesdale in Victoria. Finally, we are only currently talking about Bristell crashes in Australia, there have been a serious number of Bristell crashes in other countries.

Well, it's highly likely now, with moves such as the one below, that we're going to see a lot more Western technological design appear in Chinese high-tech equipment. But nothing is really changing, this is how China gets its technological ideas. I saw an article several years ago where the writer stated that there's just 200,000 Western-educated and Western-trained China-born technological experts, who are behind all of China's technological and manufacturing gains. They are Chinese-born, they go to the West to acquire their high-tech skills, then return to China to advance the country technologically, because they're loyal to the country.
