They have a concept of quitting.

Is that the Behind The Bastards Robert Evans? Love his work.

The moon is a decent fraction if the Earth’s mass. It has been a while since I calculated it but I recall the “shared gravitation centre” is actually outside the Earth.

No, no, no, it’s not Elon who’s out of touch. It’s the advertisers who are wrong! Just wait until all of Earth, apparently, hears of how these big mean advertisers killed the wondrous and righteous place named X. There will be outrage!.. so thinks Elon anyway. What a deluded moron.

Well… they used to at least :(

Domus? Nominative? This is motion towards isn’t it, boy?

Yep, in 1975. We’ve been a bit of a puppet ever since.

They’re well aware. Famous Australians like Russell Crowe and Phar Lap would back up this claim.

Australians wish! New Zealand tends to get things right.

That and what we generally think of as “Vikings” were actually Danes, which is an insult to Swedes.

So… They’re following the Reddit business model? Let’s see how that works out.

Probably gets a higher score too

The funny thing with tax is you don’t get choose how it’s spent. Tax money is public money that ought to be spent in the public interest, and NASA is a perfectly good example of this. Other good examples are infrastructure, parks, public healthcare and free education. Bad examples of tax expenditure are the ridiculous military complex, massive corporate subsidies and contractors doing poor work that the government should be directly controlling.

The Simpsons has not been particularly funny since season 9, and I’m willing to die in this hill.

If it helps, I’ve never heard of them.

This is why we have “guilt by omission”

You moron everyone else has a voice: it’s called the house of representatives. This was a body specifically to advise on indigenous issues, primarily because they live in remote communities and are therefore under-represented. A lot of money goes their way each year from the federal budget for purposes decided by old white men who live in cities, so why not have an indigenous body advise on where that money gets spent? Seems a lot less wasteful to me.

34 & 35 I seem to recall.

I’ve heard this a bit. Treason is a crime against your own country, no? How is this treason?

Lol. Unlike all the countries arming Ukraine? Not saying Musk isn’t an asshole, but there has got to be a better charge than that.
