If you watch carefully you’ll notice that Gimli picks up the axe belonging to the Dwarf sitting next to him.

Depends on the crime. One would think the Second Amendment might cover some crimes.

True, but that’s mainly because they forgot about it.

A school I used to work at had a folder with student passwords for various services at the front of the computer lab. If a student forgot their password for a service, they just went and looked in the folder. Maybe they’d even get their mates’ passwords for them while they were at it!

I did try to get the policy changed, and offered to teach staff and students how to use a password manager, but apparently remembering a single password was far too complicated, and it would make it much harder if you needed to log in to someone else’s account.

My parents worked hard all their lives and have had very little to show for it. As much as I didn’t realise it at the time, I never really wanted for anything, but I’m sure my parents skipped meals on occasion.

Now they’re retired they have a bit of money from state pension and superannuation funds, as well as a bit my mum inherited from her parents. It’s still not a lot, but they’re able to live in the comparative luxury they always deserved.

A couple of year back they splurged and took a trip to the UK, which had been on their bucket lists since before I was born. They seemed to feel like they had to explain why they were spending the money, and I reassured them that it was their money, not mine.

My wife and I are in good, stable jobs and we don’t need their cash. Let them enjoy themselves while they still can.

Day one it’ll get used for Ivanka’s dad too.

So… she stayed in the US?

Seriously?

I’ll definitely look for that. I’ve stayed off political channels for the last week, but it might be time to head back.

Just watch out for access to abortion in Australia. It’s recently been under attack in Queensland and South Australia, and those are very much warm-ups for a bigger push. Expect it to become an issue next year as Peter Dutton starts to repeat Trump talking points in his campaigning.

I’m fairly sure it’s not the voters they’re blaming. It’s the people who didn’t vote.
