Talking about cars in the UK, one Aussie chimed in with "it's like driving your car on the beach at low tide while it's high tide"

I usually steer clear of religion but the Rorschach test idea is amazing, never looked at it that way until now. Cheers!

I think most rational people would like an opposition party who brings good ideas with solid justification to the table. A group of professional politicians who argue in good faith, working for the betterment of their electorate. People who can at least be respected by the international community, willing to tackle the real problems facing the world as a whole.

If we're talking about dictatorship perhaps it's worth scrutinising the people arguing for total immunity for the president. It's especially worth an in-depth look at the relationships they form with leaders of other nations and the principles they share.

As a non-US person, I want to point out that US politics has shifted so far to the right that centrists in any other country would look like far left to you.

A heads-up to anyone running old laptops; buy genuine replacement batteries while they're available!

I have an aging XPS 13 and of course, Dell have discontinued the battery line. Opened it up one day and every cell had puffed out. It took buying a couple of fakes before finally finding a decent reseller on eBay who stocked what I needed. The fake batteries were not recognised by Dell's hardware detection system thing, I imagine lots of other manufacturers might implement the same feature.

And you sound like someone who puts their political stooges on a pedestal.

It's like the Fonz jumping the shark all over again.

As they say in Thailand, same same but different.

woooosh
