Dale Chorman, 70, was caught off guard as the animal attacked on his property in the town of Homer. Mr Chorman died at the scene. His son said he realised the moose was protect...

Question for Mosad: how do you start a fog on a hill?

I saw a report that said the pilot was a Mossad agent named Eli Copter.

When we had rodent problems moving in (or returning) to a house, our cats took care of the issue. Probably not such a good solution when there are coyotes to take care of the cats. It would be interesting to see a coyote take on an Australian feral cat. They grow huge, and I've seen one chase a fox...

Almost half of all noise complaints in Australia last year were filed by the same person, who complained 20,716 times He lives under the flightpath for Perth Airport. That's an average of over 56 complaints a day. He must have a decibel meter attached to a computer to auto-generate a complaint if i...

Dog show today, took Faraday and Cassini, with two of Faraday's puppies, Lucy and Artemis, also entered. Faraday shows as a veteran now, when the entry class is available (dogs 7 years and older), and the tradition is that when they run round the ring, everyone applauds them. She picked up Select, w...

I bet he had fun taking that for a spin.

Yeah, we’ve seen this, Etihad are another example, personally I’m expecting the square root of f**k all

Decent percentage of what they pay you though...

Looks like a neat job. A replacement thermostat is available, but access is via the rear of the oven. Normally I'd have no qualms about turning off at t the cb, and replacing it, but I don't fancy doing any heavy work at present. Doesn't look like it has an adjusting screw, but I may take the front...

Some of these things depend on how confident you are at reassembling things (dismantling is usually easy...) I've replaced various parts on several domestic appliances over the years - if you can narrow down the fault, use a search engine to look for spares for the model number in question and chanc...

Angel Hotel Bury St Edmunds.

OH again if correct.

Thieves are targeting high-powered Tesla and other EV charging stations and stealing the heavy cable for the copper metal inside. In Vallejo, someone cut cables from nine charging stations -- leaving Tesla drivers in a bind, and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage and repair costs. https...

My approach would be "Show me where it says I can't do it".

Very interesting.

Orcas will eat whales. He probably pulled the boats out so they'd kill a whale and he could catch a meal while they were chopping up the carcass.

Hope that the dog survived and found a pack of coyotes to take up residence with.

The coyotes probably invited the dog over for lunch.

Does anyone still mail checks? :-? :-?? I did last week. Some dog events are still lacking alternative payment methods. Sometimes there's a "convenience fee" for paying on-line, which often encourages me to pay by check because I bet it costs them way more to have to handle a physical check, deposi...

Oops... The charity founded by Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, has been found delinquent in California and cannot raise money because the state has determined Archewell Foundation has not paid its annual registration fees or submitted an annual report. A source close to Archewell told NBC News th...

Hello from California. Nice warm day today, doesn't seem to be as toasty as yesterday. Did some FastCAT with Faraday this weekend, she's slowing down now, so definitely just for fun rather thank rankings now. However, two of her puppies are currently the fastest Leonbergers in the country this year.
