"Meat" thermometer. Does it give constant readouts?

I'm assuming a euphemism of course.

Authorities are seeking an Australian tourist, whose wallet was found by a kind-hearted Cambodian at Angkor Wat.
The wallet was found at January 7, 2025, at 11:50 a.m., by a national tourist named Phoeun Sinun, a 41-year-old female from Taphor Village, Taphor Commune, Svay Chek District, Banteay Meanchey Province.

As of 12:07 p.m., she handed over the wallet to the Heritage Police for safekeeping and return to the original owner – Edward M Dessmann, an Australian national from Hillside, Victoria.

Coming home from Seoul once and we left a suitcase on the footpath by mistake ( well, my mistake ) Get out at lncheon airport which is 60k's from the city.
We ring the small apartment stay and ask them to look outside. Yep, still sitting there after 90 mins.

Probably because Gi-han had all of the bad guys searching for the recruiter in the subway stations for the past couple of years so they were all too busy.

Those fires in California in the middle of winter are bonkers.

Those fires in California in the middle of winter are bonkers.

Yeah Southern California has had a major drought, and a very warm "winter".

Couple that with high winds and a residential fire that started next to a dry-tinderbox woods area and you get... this.

People like Elon claiming that this was in any way the fault of Biden, or Democrats, or "woke/DEI" fire brigades... or any other nonsense are full of shit.

take the political talk to the "other thread"

but agree the conditions are pretty much unprecedented, combination of climate and historical practices like planting eucalypts. i recall portugaul, south africa and greece had issues with introduced eucalypt plantations.

We do have an entomologist. Thanks T.T.
Samsquanch will teach me one day how to do that.

Wonder what it's doing in my neck of the woods ?

They hunt.

You may find it following you around. Be very afraid.




Google Lens. If you don't have it you can search on the play store. It's essential.

Look dodgy to me. Ones l used to partake in back in the day had a little fluorescent blue / purpley thin ring in the middle of the cap. Very easy to spot. Macedon ranges was the place.
