For our Dog Lovers: ed dogs thousands of years ago The diversity of modern-day dog breeds might have emerged thousands of years ago. An analysis of ancient skulls reveals a distinctive dog skull shape — a shortened snout and widened face, compared to wolves — first seen in...

From my favourite Science subscription "Nature Briefing": Globally, greenhouse-gas emissions — which include methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases as well as carbon dioxide — are still rising. But there are signs they will peak around 2030, and some researchers argue that carbon dioxide...

We're having a warm spring in WA with already days over 30C. It'll get much hotter in janurary. I like this warm weather. Big juicy Mangoes are so, so nice. About $2.50 each and now recently it's said they have a moderate glucose GI level because of its high fibre. 👍 I heard from our Aussie ABC...

That's so sad Craig. More and more the affects of Global Warming and extreme weather events are happening and seen and understood yet many still close their eyes to the obvious for the sake of profit. That's really sad. It's a road that may end us all, like the dinosours 65 miĺion years ago. I...

Cars and rules. A retired mechanic mate said it's law now that we should all drive with lights on in WA. I checked and it's not strictly true except in rainy weather like having to have your wipers on. Most modern vehicles I've sèen have permanent lights on anyway, just like my motorbike. 👍...

Those poor people Craig. Life is so hard on the Philippines' people. Good people in the main beset with extreme weather events, like Jamica, and aggressive Chinese incursions into their territorial waters. I hope we give lots of Aid to the Philippines. My Old Philopino step mother living close...

Opps, sorry Craig. I keep doing that with my old brain. One of my neighbours is getting his own hazy headlights cleaned too. It's a good, cheap and practical thing to do. I guesstimate the cost to put on that tough clear paint protector nowadays would be about A$1k, but worth it. I really...

My lawn is Couch grass Thomas. I've spent almost a year getting it to this point with all sorts of treatments like fertiliser, soil wetting agents, pulling out Buffalo runners, seeds and a top dressing. That car of mine is seventeen years old with only 74,000 km on the clock. When I bought...

I watched and listened to the clip to its end Craig. Spooky for sure but not my cup of tea. I'm a little sceptical but mostly the Gore and suspense unsettled me. I know and accept there are many things beyond my ken.

All my pics Thomas except the goole image of the Bee in the flower. As expected those lovely Cactii flowers didn't last long. After one hurting my hand badly I'm temped to give then away. Maybe their seed pods split before I binned them. I've got other sprouting plants in my lazy flower beds I...

Well said Craig. Petty excuses to justify more slaughter. No doubt those Iaraeli hostages were killed by the typical and constant indiscriminate Israeli bombings on Gaza ~Seventy thousand innocents. Now buried deep in rumble it must be a big task to find and retrieve those "collateral damage"...

All this global build up of arms is a worry. Trump wants more testing and refinement of US Nuclear Weapons programs to match the pace of other major powers, like ... . U no who ... Perhaps Petty Putin's Nuclear powered torpedo got a rise out of President Trump. I'm not sure it can carry a nuke...

Didn't Reagan sort of end the Cold War by sending the USSR bankrupt? Good clip, thanks Craig, and the implied resistance to Machiavellian Narrissists out for Greed and Authoritarian political narratives.... And how come Japanese big beautiful deals with Trump's US now get 0% tariffs? Come on...

I know what you mean about the poor pay. I've recently reconnected with an old school chum who went into acting, directing plays, ... some tv, teaching but at 69 he's still having to work and rent, ...
