Winston:

If we were to go to nuclear power, would we be able to remove the coal fired units and just tap into the dynamos already there? Could the new nuke plant be twice the output and run the dynamos 20% harder, and wait for new dynamos to be added or are they already working at 100%?

First part. Yes you can remove the coal boilers and direct the steam from the nuclear steam generator to the dynamos/generators. They both product high pressure steam that is used to drive the turbines and then the generators.

Second part. NO. The output is determined by the engineering of the generators. They have specific speeds to operate at. Also the electrical maximum output is determined by design.

You cannot push it any harder C’ptain.

Reports in the media re the Ashes Series and whether the English cricketers will accept 14 days quarantine to come here to play or whether the government will relent and allow them just 7 days because they’ve been vaccinated. How would that go down with unvaccinated Australians who are being told by state premiers that the may not cross state borders yet a bunch of non-citizens could do so because of a jab? So, what, vaccination status would provide greater benefits and take precedence over citizenship status? Well, that ain’t gonna fly.

The Pommy cricketers are right. They shouldn’t have to put up with that shit.

Nor should anyone else in Australia.

So, paedos are attracted to systems which give them access to vulnerable, ie with no parents near, kids- schools, churches, the UNHCR.

In my experience in Africa with UN type agencies and NGO’s, the biggest offenders originated from the sub-continent or Scandi countries , as well as Holland. There was also a good contingent of homos attracted to post pubescent native boys.

This is a big aspect, a lot of the time the blame is put on the institution as though it has “caused”the problem, rather than it was used as a vehicle for turds to get access to kids.

Pfizer didn’t invent/discover ivermectin and if as it appears, all they have done is change its structure, a common procedure with complex drugs, while maintaining it’s anti-viral effect then it would be an interesting case. But, it begs the question, if this ‘new’ drug does the same thing as ivermectin why isn’t ivermectin used since it has a 60 year proven record as an anti-viral.

Let’s be clear. Are you sure it’s Pfizer as I’ve read Merck is coming out with an anti-viral directly attacking Covid. Are you confusing who is doing what? Merck also has or had the patent rights to Iver. But in any event, if say Pfizer is re-purposing Iver and obtains approval then good for them. There’s a great deal of work that still goes into it. Secondly, there are no restrictions in the US with regard to what doctors can prescribe. If Iver is effective in its current form then I’m not sure the mass of doctors would be offering Pfizer the extra vig and therefore will just prescribe iver in its simplest form.

All it has done is confirm that they exist and they have not been brave enough to risk themselves by speaking out

One thing the response of government(s) to the China Pestilence has done, especially the push to introduce in all but name mandatory vaccination and vaccine passports, and possibly more than anything else in our lifetimes, is to open up the eyes of the electorate to how shafted we are by the political class. Like, in a way, what Trump’s candidacy and winning of the presidency did to open up the eyes of US voters on the “player” status of the msm.

I’m thinking there is a whole lot of money going under the counter here. Who is getting it?

Besides the hotel operators and shareholders, we saw in Vic last year several very juicy contracts handed out. The notorious one was for the cleaning and security at plague hotels in Vic which failed miserably it it’s mission to quarantine, which led to the covid outbreak claiming the lives of over 600 people and locked us down for near 4 months. Under curfew.

Quarantine is a massive labour intensive exercise and all recruits had to join unions (feez) as well as union maaaates getting in on the contract deals with resulting kickbacks. That was the main reason why Dan didn’t want the ADF here. No money would change hands.

We also saw during the height of the 2020 Vic covid disaster, a Vic Transport head busted for taking kick backs from a favorite cleaning company who were supposedly deep cleaning Melbourne trains. Turns out he was allowing big short cuts in train cleaning in exchange for brown paper bags of dosh. Hundreds of thousands kicked back.

Covid has been a massive earner for the corruptocrats in the unionized Govt of the Peoples Republic of Sicktoriastan.

You engineering prodigy , explain the fucking gap in your view.

You balded the excerpt below for emphasis.

And while there is no prohibition on medical doctors prescribing drugs for unapproved
indications,

Repeat the above several times so that it sinks in. It is correct- in fact – it is very correct that there are no prohibitions on what doctors can prescribe for “unapproved indications”. The American medical system is more libertarian than our Soviet model.

Explain this, you genius.. If American medical docs have fewer limitations in signing prescriptions, why would they go for the more expensive drug from Pfizer or whomever it is that’s supposed to be coming out with the barely changed Iver concoction? Why wouldn’t they simply prescribe Iver? Docs there are not in the pockets of the Pharma companies. Moreover, in the US, you have the insurance companies looking over their shoulders (the docs). While they wouldn’t/can’t prohibit prescriptions they will most certainly inform the Docs they will only be paying/covering foe Iver in their plans.

One last thing, don’t ever FMD, you pathetic idiot.

Pfizer’s new drug and ivermectin are both protease inhibitors. Merck did own ivermectin but no longer does because it’s off patent. Their new pill also interferes with the viral replication process but in a different way to ivermectin. So they say.

Mandatory COVID-19 vaccines announced for WA FIFO and mining workers

Premier Mark McGowan said the requirement would apply to FIFO and other workers in mining, exploration, oil and gas, and resources sites.

Mr McGowan said it also applied to anyone who works in “remote operations” or runs critical infrastructure including remote train and port control.

“That means, to work they will be required to have received their first COVID-19 vaccine by December 1,” he said.

Mr McGowan said they would need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 1, 2022.

He said the rule would also apply to any visitors to mines or oil and petroleum operations.

Your own balding says that American docs have no protocol oversight with respect to prescriptions. To repeat, you useless bignoting twerp, there are no restrictions.

ProPublica (/pro??p?bl?k?/[2]), legally Pro Publica, Inc., is a nonprofit organization based in New York City. It is a newsroom that aims to produce investigative journalism in the public interest.[3] In 2010, it became the first online news source to win a Pulitzer Prize, for a piece[4] written by one of its journalists[5][6] and published in The New York Times Magazine[7] as well as on ProPublica.org.[8] ProPublica states that its investigations are conducted by its staff of full-time investigative reporters, and the resulting stories are distributed to news partners for publication or broadcast. In some cases, reporters from both ProPublica and its partners work together on a story. ProPublica has partnered with more than 90 different news organizations, and it has won five Pulitzer Prizes.

We also saw during the height of the 2020 Vic covid disaster, a Vic Transport head busted for taking kick backs from a favorite cleaning company who were supposedly deep cleaning Melbourne trains. Turns out he was allowing big short cuts in train cleaning in exchange for brown paper bags of dosh. Hundreds of thousands kicked back.

Didn’t the Vicco COVID Controller come from Vicco Transport? What did he know, and when did he know it?

Jupes, while you’re right that no Australian should have to put up with that sh1t, nor indeed visitors to Australia; somehow, like the footy players entering WA/QLD for the finals, when other Australians were denied that right, a bunch of non-resident tourists more than likely will receive a free movement benefit that is to be denied to Australian citizens.

Mr McGowan said it also applied to anyone who works in “remote operations” or runs critical infrastructure including remote train and port control.

“That means, to work they will be required to have received their first COVID-19 vaccine by December 1,” he said.

Mr McGowan said they would need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 1, 2022.

This is a matter of public safety and ethical obligation. There is growing global concern about the short, medium and long-term effects of the Covid-19 vaccine. Removing the AHPRA edict would also allow open debate about the other possible ways of treating Covid-19.

Someone in FTA TV finally got something right (the Tele):

Five months after he publicly attacked Prime Minister Scott Morrison, former Test star Michael Slater has failed to win a new deal at Channel 7.

In a series of fiery tweets sent back in May, Slater controversially accused the Prime Minister of having “blood on his hands” for locking Australian citizens out of returning from Covid-ravaged India.

Just outstanding. Excellent news. Incidentally, Slater wasn’t in a Calcutta slum. He was in the Maldives, which he could well afford after taking the giant pay packets on offer to do the IPL. Lewis Martin, 7’s Head of Sport gave him a giant public middle finger, in the traditional showbiz way:

“Unfortunately business decisions have to be made from time to time and unfortunately we’re not in a position to renew it.

“He was a very popular member of our team and a very talented broadcaster. I can only expect this will only be a pause (in his career).”

An Andrew O’Keeffe pause, by the look.

I loved watching Slater bat. Fearless, with the technique to back it. But he was and is not only up himself but a rampant pisswreck, according to sources – and worse, a two pot screamer whose other specialty was pantsing other players’ wives. Adam Gilchrist’s still dealing with the ‘rumours’ that his second child is not his.

Yes. The output for the AC dynamo is the based on the amount of wire that is moving relative to the strength of a magnetic field. The main constraint is the speed of rotation of the dynamo. 50 hertz here or 60 in other places.

To generate any electricity, you need relative movement between a conductor and a magnetic field. Increase any one of the three will increase output, but the speed is limited to the frequency of the system.

I’m with you Eyrie. The steam end of a nuke plant is 19thC engineering, albeit with better materials. Not hard. They can be designed to produce whatever temperature and pressure that is optimum for running the gensets.

I’m less confident about the energy-to-electricity engineering for the small nuke sets that are the current fad. (A good fad btw. Although still old tech, since we in our company were offered an 80Mw unit by the suddenly out-of-work sub builders in Murmansk. This was in about 1992 iirc.

It’s not my comment Winston. This is the quote from the noos feelthebern was referring to:

Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce says federal politicians should not be forced to be vaccinated, because ensuing arguments would be counter-productive.

His strong statement comes after former Labor leader Bill Shorten called for mandatory vaccines for all federal MPs, but Mr Joyce said while he is fully vaccinated and will get a booster shot, mandating the jabs for federally elected officials would “just lead to fights”.

And this is what he said, at 7.23 a.m:

GET FUCKED BARNABY.
These pricks should be front of the line.
Zero exceptions.
For their partners & kids.
Vaccines are being forced onto the population.

Earlier this year, the government placed a gag order on doctors and all health care providers through AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority), which means that if any healthcare worker questioned the short, medium or long-term safety of the vaccine, or need for more information, they faced the possibility of legal action or being deregistered.

Then after 30 years you replace it with another one and take the old one away. It’s a nice model. Australia would have detonated politically, but hey a few bits of broken crockery… 😀

We were already subject to several proto-green protestor groups with boats and everything. In the ABC news monthly if not weekly, even then. No way were we going to do such a thing. Anyway we had cheap hydro so we didn’t need it.

The insanity is strong in this one and getting stronger.

When a dose of Ivermectin costs about a dollar, who needs insurance? Docs here in Qld could have prescribed HCQ/Ivermectin until Jeannette Young made it illegal on threat of a $13000 fine. Fail again.

Okay, he’s needs to lie now. let’s go back to the highlighted quote.

In the United States, for example, the FDA prohibits pharmaceutical
companies from marketing drugs for ‘off-label’ uses. And while there
is no prohibition on medical doctors prescribing drugs for unapproved
indications, obtaining regulatory approval encourages prescriptions
for second medical use
My bolding

In the United states means the United States, you dishonest c.u.t, Eyrie. Why now are you bringing up Queensland when that has zero to do with the above quote?

Illegal or not, I no longer give a stuff.

Yep. Our son came inside the other day with his 2 year old. Big Sis, a Covid maniac, read me a lecture on the phone about getting our renos done during lockdown, and then tells me she had visited our nephew and his family in Nowra (had to go there for a medical appointment so why not etc?) and his wife who is a hairdresser cut her hair. Cognitive dissonance much? I always get the lecture though, anything between her and me, I get the lecture. And today our neighbours more or less invited themselves in to see the renos, and we all treated today as the day lockdown ended. She’s Japanese and started asking me about my online real-time dance classes, so I said why not join me in one tomorrow? It is a closed shop, won’t sell to outsiders, but nothing to stop her being there with me online. So she’s coming in at 9.30, she’s unvaxxed (her husband told on her) but who cares?

We don’t intend to ask anyone that question, nor bring it up about ourselves, we say when she enquires. We’ll dance together. She’s only in her early 60’s, and it will be good to see how she keeps up. How old is your teacher? she asks. Just turned 78 I say, and enjoyed watching her jaw drop. Wait until you see her, says Hairy, who has a cute relationship with her as part of our ‘dining out’ crowd; she thinks he’s divine and he says he’s always had a thing for older women. 😀

BoN, the sub nukes as I understand it are up to 200Mw. Most use HEU. Governments/Authorities are nervous about this as diversion of the material makes it relatively easy to build a bomb. This has even got into space nuclear reactors for NTR (Nuclear thermal rockets) with recent work to use low enriched uranium for these. They work BTW. The late Dr Robert Bussard worked on them and they were actually ready to fly by the early 1970’s. Then the world turned to shit.

Eyrie I read that the US and Brit subs use HEU but not the French ones. Don’t know what the Russian or Chinese subs use. I’m not concerned about a dirty bomb threat from HEU because it is not like someone can pop on down to the dock, enter the sub, and rip out the reactor. HEU subs rarely need refueling so even the risk of hijacking the supply is very remote. If someone wanted HEU there are much easier ways to get it, like bribing an underpaid overworked Ivan. There is probably a few Russian nuke subs lying around the ocean floor. Even worse there are concerns about the number of reactors they have dumped into the Barents Sea.

For those who can afford to break the rules this is not so for everyone here in Sydney. When a young couple are fined $1000 each for breaking the law when they did IMO no wrong esp when they do not have the money to pay for such fine.
I’ll elaborate a little:
Husband is without work at this time due to Covid. Wife works part time at a restuarant (operating at a loss) to provide take-aways in an ‘LGA of concern’. After finishing her shift she catches a train from the restaurant to a suburb also in a ‘LGA of concern’ and is picked up by her husband at the station. On their way to their home she alights from the car to pick up a hot chicken for dinner. The chicken shop is not in the centre but facing the street. As they drive out from the area they are pulled up by police and fined for being two persons in a car in a shopping centre area. One only in LGAs of concern is allowed to shop. Her husband did not leave the car, but letters from them both explaining that only one person left the car have been denied and at this time the two fines of one thousand dollars each remain because they had both been seen by the police in the car leaving a shopping area. Correspondence is ongoing. I wish them well.
