Donald Trump’s pick for energy secretary says ‘there is no climate crisis’
  • I'm suspicious that 5G and space lasers has something to do with it as well....🤔

  • Donald Trump’s pick for energy secretary says ‘there is no climate crisis’
  • Phew! Well, that's a relief!

    I was getting worried for a while....

  • Man in Facebook comments clearly prefers ‘feeling’ informed to actually ‘being’ informed
  • There's a whole bunch of topics I just "Nope!" out of.

    It's obvious they are complex, and, frankly, my interest in them is not enough to invest the time to even get to a basic understanding.

    So, my canned answer is:

    "It's complex, and I don't feel I know enough to have an opinion about it"

    If it's something interesting, I might add on "What do you think about it?"

    If it's not interesting I might throw on "And I'm not interested enough in even having an opinion."

  • The End of American Exceptionalism
  • You have a point. After I wrote it I thought of 2 things. Firstly, even those that are lucky enough to travel will never travel everywhere. So, how can they claim the best without having seen all possibilities? Secondly, there are ways to learn and /or experience things without being physically present, like read about it in a book, or watch a documentary. That counts for something.

    Now I think about it, I could have changed it to:

    "I live in the best country on the planet!”

    "Really? How do you know? How do you measure that? What evidence do you have to back that up?"

    But, it would probably go all downhill from there, as the original one inevitably would....😆

  • The End of American Exceptionalism
  • "I live in the best country on the planet!"

    "Well, no. But why would I do that when I'm already in the best country!"

    This doesn't apply to just the US...

    old.reddit.com login redirects to www.reddit.com/login

    I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

    The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

    More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

    Best Tomato Sauce/Ketchup?

    Ok I have a confession to make. I often don't put tomato sauce on things that are expected required by Aussies to have tomato sauce. It's a shameful thing, and I don't want to talk about that.

    But, sometimes I must have tomato sauce. The bottle is almost empty, and after upgrading my BBQ sauce and Mayo, surely there is a great bang for the buck tomato sauce.

    Choice rated Community Co A Squeeze of Tomato Sauce, available from IGA, as number 1 in 2019 from a list of over 20 tomato sauces/ketchups.

    Anyone tried this and can give me a recommendation and reasons on why I should try something else over this?

    Ima have to apologise in advance for being a questioning beotch that expects a reference to a scientific study for every statement...after quoting Choice 🤣

    Australia retains the Ashes in anti-climactic fashion as rain wipes out final day of fourth Test
    www.abc.net.au Australia retains the Ashes in anti-climactic fashion as rain wipes out final day of fourth Test

    Australia will carry a 2-1 lead into the final Test of the Ashes series in England, meaning they have retained the Urn on the back of a drawn fourth game at Old Trafford with a little help from the rain that washed out day five.

    Poor old England wiped out by the weather.

    I almost feel sorry for them. Yeah, nah, not sorry.
