I've even seen a human wait for the dog to poop, pull out a little shovel, scoop it into a little plastic bag and then go and put it in a trash can!

Who's the master now? 🐶

Australians regard it as being pivotal to have prevented the Japanese invading mainland Australia in WWII.

For context, Papua New Guinea (PNG) was an Australian territory at that time. The Japanese had advanced swiftly south, sweeping all before them, eg the Phillipines. Darwin, the main city in the North of Australia, had been bombed by the Japanese (there were over 100 air raids on Australia). The Japanese overland target was Port Moresby, one of PNG's major cities, which would give them a base to then move on Australia. The invasion of mainland Australia was thought to be imminent.

Conditions were horrendous. Mountainous and treacherous terrain: "The terrain rises and falls with regularity, up to 5,000 metres (16,000 ft) up and down over the full length of the track". Tropical rainforest, with torrential rain. Incredible heat and humidity by day and very cold at the higher altitudes at night. Malaria was rampant.

The defence of the Kokoda Trail, in conjunction with US advances in the Pacific, eg Gudalcanal stopped the Japanese from advancing further south to Australia.

Some young Australians do the Kokoda Trail trek to honour those who have fallen. It's not something to attempt lightly. Many only do a section, or fail at their attempt, even with all of the modern equipment - and without the threat of being shot at with every step.

I've seen some interviews with Kokoda Track veterans, and some of their experiences are horrendous and heartbreaking.

Kokoda - The men who saved Australia is an excellent documentary by Australia's best and longest running current affairs and investigative news program, Four Corners.

Extradited back to the US.

Trump pardons them.

After an appropriate donation, of course.

Paying a living wage is a communist idea spread by the lunatic far left!

That's what I'm pissed offf about.

The cost of the cleanup just -maybe- gets things back to how they should have been.

The fine should be a far greater disincentive.

It's not a flattering angle for that picture.

C'mon! With Trump in charge, it has to be The Greatest Depression!

"Yes, this is The Greatest Depression. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. Even the best economists, very smart people, they say to me 'Donald, Mr President, who could know?' Nobody could have known this would happen, but they tell me it was caused by Biden. Or Obama. I've also asked the FBI to check Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop."

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

Still sounds like not enough. Missing another 0 or two.

idk, I kinda expected a bot to be machine like, regular, predictable and couldn't be stopped and would go on forever.

You know, like the Terminator.

But sydbot hasn't posted anything for 2 months.

Not sure it matters, but I'd like to know that sydbot is safe and happy.

It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.

I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.

Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.

Update: The rain has stopped, and my little friendly shadow has gone. All the birds are going mental! The cockies sound furious!

Victoria is already in a state of disaster, and today looks like being a really bad day for fires in Sydney, so thought I would link a couple of key sites I use:

Stay safe!

Hope everyone stays safe and cool. Remember: have a plan, leave early if you can. Catastrophic is not a recommendation. GTFO.

Anyways, anytime I start talking weather with someone, I can't help but have certain songs run through my head. The Heatwave Mix is an open zone for song recommendations that have at least one line that talk about weather/temperature. Please post the line and a link to the song.

I'll kick off the hotness with a line that always gets stuck in my head : I walk about in the summertime saying "How about this heat!".

Now, once we hear that, the next recommended song says I should get my funk on and "Keep my cool!"

Australia have already won The Ashes series after winning the first 3 Tests. The English won the 4th Test to make the series 3-1, with just this last game remaining.

Australia hasn’t been able to field their top team all series, and are without captain Cummins and top spinner Lyons again. Usman Khawaja has announced his retirement, and this will be his last match in front of his home crowd.

England can find redemption with another win, and arguably claim they could have won the series. Will Bazball continue to live, after seeming dead after the Aussies went up 3-0?

10am-12:30pm AEDT will be compulsory viewing for cricket nuts. Who wins the toss and whether the bowling team can break through in that first session may determine the result.

But a Test is 5 days, even though we seem to normally get 2 day Test Matches in this series.
