Time to sleep.

Sun is out and.game is fairly even. 2 wickets or 100 runs could make the difference.

C'mon, Aussie!

Classic Smudge.

Has no right to score any runs in England with his dodgy technique. But somehow is the only guy that looks anything like comfortable...

Surely that mace trophy is gonna be busted by whoever wins it using it as a bat in a game of street cricket with everyone plastered about 4am the next morning... 🤣

Bad over from Rabada.

Baiting Smith too far and short outside off.

Excellent catching by SA so far. Hope they had some greasy finger food for lunch.

Sorry, it was just the accent and huge hat, he didn't mention any politics.

Also, no mention of crocs yet.

Comments on commentators:

  • omg, Stuart Broad has taught SA how to bowl, where to field, how to catch. Clearly Man of the Match already
  • Matthew Hayden is the new Bob Katter

Ugh, bad end to the session with Head out. The bowling wasn't that good. Bumrah and co were way tougher last summer...

Mid/lower order to the rescue again?

reducing the reliance on income taxes

Tariffs!

They're like increasing GST, but just for the poors that can't buy what they want in one of the other countries/tax havens they live in.

There was a segment on this as part of Media Watch Monday 9/6/2025.

Felt like I needed a shower after....Just yuk.

Four Corners - Don't speak (www.abc.net.au)
 

On Four Corners tonight (check your local guides):

Channel Seven bills itself as a family network, but a Four Corners investigation finds it to be a "second chance club" for senior men, described as a "degrading, soul-crushing" workplace.

Expect the attacks on the ABC to intensify .....

CrowdStrike impact on aussie.zone? (aussie.zone)
 

Sorry if this has been asked/answered previously, but it just struck me that I hadn't really noticed any impacts of CloudStrike on aussie.zone.

Was wondering if it was a non-event, or maybe there are some war stories with heroes deserving medals!

Demolition in the first half.

  • Moses making 50-60m with his kicks
  • Angus Crighton like a runaway tank
  • even Trell looking like a footy player again
  • Liam Martin, clean it up. Grubby all night.
  • Used to think DCE was overrated, now I think he may be underrated...

The traditional 1-1 back to QLD for NSW to lose game 3 looks to be happening again....

I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

Electric vehicle fires are very rare. The risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is at least 20 times higher (theconversation.com)

I thought that the media was a little over the top with reporting every electric car fire.

Little did I realise just how blown out of proportion it was:

"...electric vehicle battery fires are rare. Indeed, the available data indicate the fire risk is between 20 and 80 times greater for petrol and diesel vehicles. "

So, it appears the first SMR project in the US was scrapped due to rising costs.

An Aussie SMR would take 10-15 years before even being online and we'd be the guinea pigs.

Perhaps it's time to pivot to technology already available and that can be implemented in the short term?
