Hi Sparkies

I have hit a fibre network conduit in the garden but luckily the fibre isn't damaged. There is an old, redundant copper landline cable in there that I damaged.

My question is, can I patch the PVC pipe and walk away leaving some residual moisture trapped Inside? Or will the whole section need replacing and sealed up?

I have opened a support ticket with the provider and awaiting the official report on repairs.

I'm trying to identify this Corning Ware pattern, i was thinking tulips but the CW tulip patterns are much different.

Please help.

Government ministers have leapt to the defence of an Australian reporter berated by Donald Trump for asking questions about the US president's personal business dealings.

In criticising the journalist, Donald Trump also confirmed he would soon meet face-to-face with Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese.

"In my opinion you are hurting Australia very much right now," Mr Trump told the ABC's John Lyons while speaking to journalists at the White House.

"Your leader is coming over to see me very soon.

"I'm going to tell him about you. You set a very bad tone."

Mr Lyons, the national broadcaster's Americas editor, had asked the president about whether it was appropriate for a US leader to be "engaged in so much business activity" while in office.

Mr Trump said his children were running his business.

The president did not mention when or where he would meet Mr Albanese, and the federal government has yet to confirm the meeting.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the reporter's line of questioning appeared to be a legitimate one.

"I respect the ABC and I respect its independence and that extends to not second-guessing the questions asked legitimately by journalists at press conferences," he told reporters in Brisbane.

"Journalists have a job to do and as far as I can tell that journalist was just doing his job."

Mr Lyons, an award-winning journalist, defended his question.

"Our job as journalists is to ask questions that the average person would be interested in," he told ABC TV.

"The average person in Australia would be interested in 'how is a president becoming so wealthy in office'.

"We asked them politely, respectfully. They were not shouted. They were not abusive."

A social media account linked to the White House said Mr Trump had smacked "down a rude foreign Fake News loser".

Other federal MPs from across the political divide defended the ABC, saying journalists had the right to ask difficult questions.

"Trump is a bully. He thinks he can bully the press and he thinks he can bully Australia," Greens communication spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young said in a statement.

She urged Mr Albanese to raise the incident when he sits down with Mr Trump.

Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie said it was "the scoop of the year for the ABC" because it was able to confirm a meeting was forthcoming.

"There's nothing wrong with journalists asking tough questions," she said.

But Liberal senator and former ABC journalist Sarah Henderson said the national broadcaster needed to explain itself.

"At a time when trade, defence and national security are such crucial issues in our relationship with our closest ally, it would be helpful if the ABC could explain this line of questioning," she said on X.

"Australians should expect the highest standards of our publicly funded national broadcaster."

The prime minister is preparing to travel to the US in the coming days for the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly.

A face-to-face with Mr Trump, either on the sidelines of the UN summit in New York or at the White House in Washington DC, now appears confirmed.

The opposition has repeatedly criticised Mr Albanese for failing to meet with Mr Trump, several months into his second term.

Mr Trump praised Mr Albanese as a "good man" after the two leaders held their fourth one-on-one phone call earlier in September.

TL;DR:

Dibber dobber Donny: Trump tattletales on TV reporter.

I want to build a root cellar and this book was recommended by a youtuber. What is the definitive root cellar book or Web resource that is a must have?

I've had this part stored in my bedside drawer for years and I can't remember what it's for.

My best guess is it's from an overlocker that I no longer have(?)

SOLVED: It's a hinge cover for a fridge freezer set that clips together to look like one large machine. Thanks to everyone that contributed.

Hi there, I have a quick question regarding my system and mouse lag with nvidia proprietary drivers on X11 using OBS with NVENC.

My system runs great with red dead redemption 2 for around 40 minutes until I begin to lose frames when mouse looking. I can leave the mouse and perform intensive graphical actions and it still runs perfectly without mouse input.

I assume it might be a misconfiguration on the mouse or a known bug with nvidia but am unsure of exactly where to begin looking and/or what terminology I should use to Web search the problem.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction?

My pecan started getting brown tips on the leaves at the end of it's growing season the year before last and it's progressed to the emerging spring leaves.

Hi there, my chicken has a swelling on her cheek and it's causing her some distress can anyone please advise me?

Thank you
