We're 25 years into the modern globalized period and it's about 20 years too late to think that this is a noteworthy quote.

A great band who has the foresight to end their work.

"It was quite an unpleasant time for a lot of people, if you were a woman or if you were an ethnic minority or if you were not heterosexual," she said.

I'm an ethnic minority, and I had a blast in the 90's.

Where do they find these miserable sods?

Sentence then deport. Skip the detention step and save taxpayers money.

Sir Rod received a lifetime achievement honour and sang "Forever Young," released in 1984. Somethine for everyone.

And Lopez didn't look much younger.

I've never been in the navy, but I expect the sales of Chinese made blue tarps has spiked in NK, offsetting the drop in demand due to US tariffs.

Next, all those towels needed to dry that ship out is also a great for Chinese suppliers.

We have self-driving cars - surely, we can have self-driving phones.

I was nine years old when I had a two hour ride on a sugarcane train in Fiji. I have clear memories of it. A relative was running a sugar mill so I was a last minute addition. It was tropical and the ride flowed through flat areas of cane, through bush and along the coast by Duvu. When we stopped to load more farmers cars to the train, women would give us the hottest, sweetest condensed milk tea with flat bread and curried shrimps.

The little engine was really working hard and they were such nice people. Dreamlike.

I'd buy him a beer. In a glass.

Iconic - that plane captures that period well.

The move sparked a fierce backlash from big tech companies who variously described the laws as "rushed", "vague", and "problematic".

Rushed? No it's just a proposal.

Vague? No, it's very simple.

Problematic? Certainly - for tech company weasels who avoid paying taxes to jurisdictions, but then expect to have some say on societal problems.

Will Combs expose other entertainment names, or will he "hang himself" in jail, like Epstein?

The Global South includes many countries crippled by corruption and nepotism. Far too much risk for investment.

Nissan is taking a bath and flushing out their balance sheet - normal practice when sentiment is against a company.

Have to admit that the vulture is not one of my go-to birds, but I understand the important role they play.

Now that they're valued at a hefty $1.8m, I'm getting behind the vulture.

Why am I not seeing any of these signs in Chinese?

Everyone's given up on them.

For every other visitor let's hope the campaign makes it easier on the people of Otaru and Japan.

That person stripping off behind the tree is one of the culprits that just ruin it for everyone.

"The U.S. side's threat to escalate tariffs against China is a mistake on top of a mistake, once again exposing the American side's blackmailing nature,"

So says China, after they applied punitive tariffs on Australian goods - 80% on barley, 40% on cotton, 206% on wine plus completely banning Australian meat, timber trade among others.

Only because the Australian government called the CCP out on their political interference and the Chinese origin of COVID.

Hopefully Australian consumers remember this when China starts looking for alternative markets for their junk.

The guy in orange vest not piloting his craft well, capsized seconds after photo taken.

There is certainly profit taking by supermarkets, but I think consumers are just lazy.

I drive past most gas stations to get to the discount stations, but will always see the expensive stations humming with business even when they are 20c -30c more expensive.

Consumers always complain about price but always pay for convenience.

Typically two-faced. When Australia told the CCP to butt out of their affairs, huge tariffs were placed on Australian exports - 80% on barley, 200+% on wine which were withdrawn last year, among others.

So 25% duties on Chinese crap is pretty mild.

Polite conversation has always excluded the three topics of politics, money, religion.

Humble compliments go a long way.

It looks more like the army hand sign for "Freeze".

Taliban seek Japanese taxpayer handouts for infrastructure, industry development, due to incompetent, repressive, medieval oversight

Gosh, that second picture really show the damage these fighters suffer.

Somehow Foreman managed to keep his faculties.

Let's skip the Guinness this St Patrick's Day and drink carrot juice instead.

Never surrender Houthis!!..

Sad to see someone supporting a murderous militia who use child soldiers.

South Africa is on it's last legs economically, and the overtly racist law making needs to be condemned by all nations. So kicking this racist kleptomaniac back to SA is a good move.

More seating equals less horrid chikan equals better for all.

“Shoppers have begun to see shell egg offerings in the dairycase becoming more reliable although retail price levels have yet to adjust and remain off-putting to many,” the USDA wrote in the March 7 report."

In basic lingo:

Shoppers are seeing egg price stabilize but are not buying because of the high price.
