The big mac index isn’t an inflation indicator – that’s if it’s the Economist Big Mac Index thingi and not something else. The Big Mac index measures the *PPP of a big mac in various countries and then compares the cost to determine under or overvaluation of currencies against the Dollar etc.
* Purchasing Power Parity.
Makka doesn’t like it (Makka doesn’t like the Big Mac Index, get it) but I do. Most of the inputs are domestically based so for a rough and ready PPP it’s not bad.

Boomers can sit back and have a breathe a sigh of relief, it appears the title of the worst generation in the history of the world, is only going to last for a moment.
Gen-x you godless fat man-titted lazy low-t soy poisoned cucks! What the hell is wrong with you??

Very interesting:
Another week, another Vaccine Surveillance report (now published by the U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the successor to Public Health England), and with it more worrying news on the vaccine front.
Infection rates in the double-vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated continue to rise, meaning unadjusted vaccine effectiveness continues to decline.
RTWT.

I should know who is Steve Jones?
Bluddee hell, JC. How could anyone existing on this planet who might refer to themselves as a personage with an appendage not know who the mighty Steve Jones is?
The guitarist on this anthem. Stole all his equipment from fat comfy ol’ hippie dinobores while the latter were havin’ a snooze … 🙂

Sounds like a (repetitive) script
It’s your script. You keep bringing this up.
I don’t need to do anything else but say the same things.
Ahahahaaaa ha ha.
Now. The Viet chick. Seriously. How’d you go? You don’t mind me asking, right, after your very publicly announced quest to catch a rice burner?

AH HAHA HA HA HA HA.
you were most upset over my “Free Colleen Gwynne” quip, remember
I wasn’t upset, you dope. I merely mentioned that it was pointless saying ‘free Colleen’ when she was not and has never been in jail.
Is that was all this was about? Seriously?
AH HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA SNORT HAHAHAHAHAAAA.
Oh God, this is brilliant.

A mere quip re “Free Bradley Manning”
Aha ha ha. Gets better. Nooooooo _roomba, you’re not prone to mixing up concepts and ideas and places and names and times whaaaaatsoever.
Find a post where I defended the jacks during the protests. You can’t. Nobody can because I haven’t. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Like your thought processes on pixels. The opposite effect to that intended.
The Viet chick and the quest you advertised. Results, please. In your own time.

I swear, I’m not a tiddle taddle, but if you look upthread the Driller and Winston partnered up to defend and deny (I’m not sure which) Marcus Adonis’ plagiarism. I really don’t like to snitch.. but I thought you’d like to know. According to these two sleuths, MarK L Canberra is in the clear. It may have been a complete accident, according to Drillsie and we all got confused. Also, last night Drills said Marcus Adonis is a genius military strategist. He actually called him a genius. Just filling you in and I hope I’m not snitching or anything, but you should know.

Megahalfwit denies its own actions.
I detailed your halfwittery over at Adam’s blog and Twostix cleaned you up here, halfwit.
– Indignant “walk it back” re Colleen Gwynne, corrupt plod
– Defends Vicplod over lockdown protestersDefender of Authoriteh!
A leftard hanging out with righties for chat?
Sad.

I’m only at Adam’s blog, with its readership of three, to tease you and Neil. I don’t even bother with you over there any more.
Stix, as much as I like the cogent arguments he puts up couldn’t find any posts of that type either.
If he can’t, you’ve got no chance.
No Viet chick stories?

_roomba.
Colleen Gwynne is a butch crew cutted sports lezzo, of exactly the same type as the Matilda Muffia I’ve been critical of for a few weeks now. I very much doubt that I would come to her defence under any circumstances.
But, with your crystal clear record of absolutely not mixing up people and times and places and things and people with other people, you clearly know best.
Anyway, that’s what you said. ‘Free Colleen Gwynne’ when she wasn’t locked up in the first place. Alllllll over it.

Is there any tax thief lower than a military shiny @rse?
Dunno.
Ask Mater or Kev or jupes or Digger or any of the other posters here who’ve been in hot wars.
Ask this question of them, _roomba. See how you go.
I’ll just repeat this quote of yours, that you made at 11.05 p.m. on 24 October 2021:
Is there any tax thief lower than a military shiny @rse?

With all the discussion about movie firearms, there is an exhaustive movie firearms database available to all (if you can put up with the ads).
It lists entries by movie, or firearm, or actor.
For example, here is the entry for American Sniper.

Nope. Early December, it will have to be. Will spend a bit of time there, and most likely do some jail time on the way back.
Rang her on Thursday just gone, on the occasion of the old man’s birthday and Mum’s first without him in 55 years, 52 of them as her husband. She said she’s doing okay. Dunno about that.
I will never, ever forgive these animals, nor forget what they have done to this country.

Robert De Niro wins court battle over estranged wife Grace Hightower
By Charlie Mitchell
The Times
4:14PM October 24, 2021
5 CommentsRobert De Niro has scored a significant legal victory over his estranged wife, after a court ruled she was not entitled to half his income.
The actor and Grace Hightower have been battling in court since De Niro, 78, filed for divorce in 2018 after 21 years together. Ms Hightower, 66, a philanthropist and socialite, claimed she was owed half the money De Niro made in Hollywood and from business ventures while they were together.
The earnings, she argued, counted as marital assets to be split evenly, in accordance with a 2004 prenuptial agreement she signed with the Oscar winner. His fortune has been estimated at $US500m ($670m).
However, the appellate division, which hears New York Supreme Court appeals, has rejected Ms Hightower’s arguments, upholding a lower-court ruling. The court’s decision reads: “The husband’s income earned during the marriage and other business assets acquired during that time are his separate property.”
The prenuptial agreement, a Manhattan Supreme Court judge wrote this year, “establishes that the bulk of (De Niro’s) income earned during the marriage, whether from acting, film production, or business ventures, constitutes his separate property”.
Ms Hightower, his second wife, will still walk away with a substantial sum thanks to the prenuptial agreement, which will require the pair to sell their $US20m home and put $US6m towards a home for Ms Hightower and their two children, Elliot, 23, and Helen Grace, 9. It also instructs De Niro to pay her $US1m annually in alimony until he dies, or she remarries.
Their legal battle has prompted accusations of extravagant spending from both sides. At an April hearing, De Niro’s lawyer Caroline Krauss described Ms Hightower’s demands as “rich with indulgences and waste and greed”. Ms Krauss said Ms Hightower had spent $US1.2m on a diamond in 2019, which Ms Hightower’s lawyer Kevin McDonough denies. Mr McDonough claimed De Niro chartered aircraft to visit friends, a claim disputed by De Niro.
Ms Krauss has claimed that the strain Ms Hightower has placed on De Niro’s finances means he was running out of money. De Niro has starred in low-quality comedies to pay the bills, she said.

Farter time.
I was going to wait for the _roomba’s stirring defence of his statement that blokes in the military were the lowest of low tax thieves, but it would appear he’s returned to the less precise (and more Birdish) environment of DashCat.
Oh well. Was looking forward to the Vietnamese chick story too.

I had a thought about the Baldwin incident, too (I know, I don’t often have them.)
If a SA action revolver is drawn and the hammer cocked while the trigger is held back, as a non-experienced person may well do, it will fire when the hammer is released.
Of course, even if this were the case, it avoids the question of what live ammo was doing in the cylinder in the first place.

De Niro has starred in low-quality comedies to pay the bills, she said.
Ha ha ha. As opposed to starring in blockbusters to pay the bills.

“Bipartisan legislators demand answers from Fauci on…$375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sand flies so the insects could eat them alive…some of the dogs had their vocal cords removed.”That is diabolical. What the hell is going on at the NIH?
It would be somewhat – ironical – if Fauci is destroyed, not by his lies about HIV/AIDS or by the whole Kung Flu/Gain of Function debacle, but by cruelty to dogs.

October 25, 2021 at 3:01 amThere is no room for dissent from the fascist party line at The Age. From the Paywallian’s Media Diary:
Michael Leunig’s storied half-century career as The Age’s best-known editorial page cartoonist has ended not with a bang, but a whimper.
First they came for the always clear eyed, and I said nothing, being a dozy chap.
Then they came for the gradually awakening, and I realized I’d failed at my job for over half a century …
