I’m starting to worry about all those solar panels using nuclear energy.
Will you stand with me to stop rooftop nuclear energy????
Grigs off googling who Fink is.
Daniel Day-Lewis, while preparing for “Last of the Mohicans”, apparently carried his movie rifle everywhere with him, including to restaurants, just to get used to handling it so it became a natural accessory, as it would to someone of the period.
I watched “Forgotten Battle” last night, a Belgian WWII movie.
One of the characters, a British soldier, starts off carrying his No4 Lee Enfield, which was the correct rifle.
But then during a couple of battle scenes, he and everyone else is firing No1s, which at that stage of the war were only being used by Australians, not British and Canadians in Holland.
Of course, as he gets back to the staging area after the battle, he has a No4 over his shoulder again.
It totally ruined the movie for me. Actually it was a pretty crap movie anyway.
No, Labor will stick with the very conservative Policy it’s had for 40 +years.
Why would it change, there’s no votes in it for Labor?
Labor will do what industry super tells them to do.
That’s why making nuclear ESG compliant is so important & has been worked on globally since the end of 2019.
In the UK you mean.

I’m a Dominant Spouse? How very Patriarchal. Off to the Gulags with you, for re education.
Yes I’m sure you think it was funny, but she’s your wife dammit! What did she think you were going to do with the photos? Show them around to your friends?
Bloody hell, JC. Talk about a tin ear.
And I’m glad to see you now accept the passing of time as reducing the severity of an action – I must remember to let Mark50 know when I see him next. Or is passing time only an excuse for you?
(By the way, I remember Sinclair mentioning the article and saying he was satisfied with the answer from Mark50. Perhaps Sinclair knows something you don’t?)
Well, if that’s the case, then what percentage has Scotty got in switching to a Nuclear Policy if Labor is going to do the same?
Lotocoti. Rocky is an old Labor town like Townsville. Then you have Yepoon, 1770 and Byfield that all lean that way. Apart from that area the rest of the electorate would be meh, IMO. Much as I hate to say Ed has a point, the attack ads have written themselves if on the coast. Inland definitely different.
Solar Panels are Nuclear Energy.

The RAN has had their submariners on USN boats over the years, but they’ve never been nallowed into the Reactor compartment [according to Greg Sheridan in yesterday’s Australian.
So, we’re not getting the tech, just the subs [by 2038 at the earliest, more likely mid 2050s].
And you managed to remain awake until the end?
Respect!
Kelly, Big Joe, Crap Game and Co just unloaded on a Nasty patrol.

love your work ed case
are solar panels nuclear converters or not?
Alpha is the first variant, not the original virus. The TGA just accepted what the FDA/Pfizer claimed. If the experience in the field wildly departs from the trials it’s no stretch to say they were deliberately exaggerating it’s effectiveness and safety.
More channel surfing.
The Descendants has just finished.
They filmed a scene there at the Canoe Club.

Oh Lord. He’s back.
Turtle Head, how about you slag me off as much as you want with two more goes.. You have two more free shots at me and then you fuck off forever and we never talk again. Really, are you that fucking stupid that the deal you offered and accepted from Sinclair (that you never talk to me and visa versa) suddenly doesn’t work for you now? It worked well. I never bothered the read any of your offensively stupid crap you posted and you never interacted with me. Shall I ask the blog owner to institute the same agreement as on the old blog? I mean this in all sincerity, I find you repulsively clownish and want nothing to do with you. Please, I beg you to feel the same about me and just fuck off and we never speak again.
Failing that, you’re going to feel the same way as when you corresponded with Sinclair with threats of legal action because I had been mean to you. I’m not kind to people I dislike. Turtle Head… just fuck off and stop stalking me. It’s for the best.
The most important part of political power is a good command of bullshit. And the majority of the human species loves the stuff. Sad but true. The society Hogan postulates is unstable; it depends on the inhabitants being bullshit averse. Physical scientists are, but most people aren’t. Alas.
The fun thing is they’re actually fossil fuels.
Recently there’s been an extreme shortage of magnesium. That’s because Mg uses a shedload of energy to produce, and China has mostly monopolized the production of it. Because coal. Which they’ve recently run out of. So nice Mr Xi has told Mg producers and Al producers to stop producing their metals because not enough electricity blacking out holy CCP members.
Forget the semiconductor, magnesium could be the car industry’s next big hurdle (21 Oct)
Which is where solar panels come in, since they’re made from silicon, and silicon production requires lots and lots of carbon and electricity, both for primary production and purification by zone refining. And guess who produces most semiconductor-grade silicon?
It’ll be fun when suddenly all those cheap Chinese solar panels are less cheap, and not actually available because their manufacturers aren’t allowed to use the proles’ electricity.
Oh dear, rooster-erection is using big tough words, even threatening to never read or talk to a commenter again.
It’s rough on the Cat, rough I tells ya, especially when the tough men start talking … tough.
That’s right, but Michelle Landry still gets votes there, just not a plurality.
There seems to be a view that Liberal Party voters are cruel ideologues slavering to impose Nuclear Power on the dumb Proles, but I don’t buy that.
It would only take 600 anti Nuclear Liberal voters in Rocky and Yeppoon to turf Landry.
My opinion:
There’ll be way more than 600.
Try 5,000+.
Isn’t that something that comes from academia of the leftist kind? Perhaps the people who suffer bullshit the least are traders and hedge fund managers. Maybe they should be the only people allowed to vote. We’ve seen what happens when geek world runs the show like Silicon Valley Autists. Please spare us.
Where the Hell is Arky? 🙂
Also, it’s one thing to respect a painter or a plumber, because you can assess how competent they are quickly. It’s quite another matter deciding how good a philosopher or a mathematician is. You can rely on their colleagues up to a point, but observe how this fails with educational theorists.
Haha, DrB. Now you have to read The Songs of Distant Earth by Arthur C. Clarke.

“The Bidens”: Is the First Family Corrupt, or Merely Crazy? — Audio Scrolling Version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCXJ3edkL48
Audio version of the Taibbi column from last week.
It’s actually kind of funny how the Biden family continues to fuck up at every turn.
Did you see Hillary Clinton’s donor list?
It’s true. There are severakl people I don’t read. I don;t know why that would be a shock to you driller. You used to say that you were always scrolling my comments, but we know it wasn’t true because you were saying that straight after I made a comment, you clown.
Last week you were complaining how mean I was and that I was too harsh on people. We you drunk then or now as I can’t quite tell.
You’re such a blowhard.
And tell Turtle Head we all agree, the genius military analyst (as you described Adonis last night) didn’t steal the piece. The other author at American Greatness stole it from him as he claimed. 🙂 Funny that because 2 dogs showed the other author was about a day in front of Adonis’ piece so the only way that could have happened was the other author somehow divining Adonis. Possible I guess. You lack any integrity.
It is not a “new labor” town.
They don’t go in for: SSM, Mardi Gras, Trannies reading to classrooms, jobs being killed by green taxes, utes being regulated off the road, & so on.
Solar Panels are a weird type of glass glued into an Aluminium frame.
The glass isn’t recyclable, tho the tips still take it [in Qld].
It proves my point.
But here’s you dot, who would you rather as the voters
1. Autistic idiots from Silicon Valley?
2 Traders and hedge fund managers?
Doc Holliday implies we would be better served by those idiots in Silicon valley.
Everything Rooster-Erection posts, about what other cats/commenters have supposedly said, typed, opined, in past comments, …. is not to be taken at face value.
The more rooster-erection repeats something, the less likely it is to have actually happened.
(Situation normal)
Carry on rooster-stiffy, regale us with a burst of swearwords, tell us how (anyone who does not submit to you) is a worthless moron, etc etc etc.
It’s nothing we don’t hear all the time.
And you wonder why some say you’re more odious than Bird…..
Cowper is a rural electorate; and has plenty of water – sea water can be used for this purpose. Rural electorates are not necessarily inland.
The solution to this is to have a referendum on nuclear power. If it succeeds, it will tear the ALP apart the same way that Brexit tore the Labour party apart in the UK.
This can also solve the NIMBY problem, by stating up front that it won’t be built in a location that votes “no” in the referendum.
The Chinese broadcaster Tencent, which has a partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA), banned the Boston Celtics and stopped broadcasting and archiving the team’s games. This is obviously revenge for the team’s center player Enes Kanter’s remarks. Kanter condemned Tibet on social media for “the brutal rule of the Chinese government” and called for “free Tibet”.
The Quigginator is a mathematician by training. Good fucking luck there.

LOL
I’m putting in for gubmint subsidies for “NightLightPower” whereby ‘solar’ panels suck the nuclear power out of the star lit night sky.
Would you kindly stop.
And how do you guys feel about respecting those who are really, really good at bullshit?
Okay Explain to us what you think happened there, Drills. How did we confuse it all?
Like the Egyptian guy said on Memri TV:
Iran or Saudi Arabia?
Neither.
No, Iran or Saudi Arabia?
I’d kill myself. (They’re the same thing to me).
Look. Hedgies are okay because they see the market work. A young guy I know asked me for a list of Austrian economics books, and I turned him to Sinclair for a bit more. Went from energy trading here to working for AMZN. So he’s a bit of both. Started off in eng., went to pure maths but got his job at 19 trading electricity on six figures about a decade ago. I don’t know if he finished his degree.
I think the STEM guys in the main just want poonyeeti so they simp and carry on.
Do you think Jack Dorsey really cares if women want “equal pay”? Nope, he just wants the same rotation as Leo.
Fishing and prawning was shut down in the Fitzroy River estuary a few years ago, that cost jobs.
Last I heard, fishing from a boat in the Rockhampton City Reach cost a $10,000 Fine plus confiscation of the boat, trailer and vehicle.
Greenies have been on top in Rocky for decades, it started in the 60s when Pilbeam decided that the City’s future was Tourism rather than Industry and it’s been downhill ever since.
The Quigginator is a mathematician by training. Good fucking luck there.
Yes, the US has a complete nuclear cycle. As does Russia. China almost, with help from Trumble’s submarine partner of choice, the Frogs.
Actually the US has almost lost its domestic uranium production capacity. US mined uranium makes up only 5%-10% of the fuel burned in its reactors – something the Orange God started to address which is now, predictably, under Democrat fire in Congress.
I’ve read all the Arthur C Clarke I could get, BoN, including that one, but I’ve long forgotten it.
You mean like stuff that masks don’t work under any circumstances and it’s not a risk management issue wearing them inside premises where you’re in close contact with others at the height of a big pandemic.
How do you feel about that bullshit, Doc?
Who controls Australia????
I was commending scientists, not nerds, JC. They’re different.
Perhaps you should read Hogan’s book which would make your comments more valuable.
Quiggin. Lol.
Isn’t he the edjumacated prefesser who said the coal face of Qld’s economy is in & around Brisbane?
His methodology was:
1/. Qld’s state income is mostly in two taxes, payroll tax & stamp duty.
2/. Payroll tax is mostly paid from offices located in Brisbane CBD.
3/. Stamp duty is mostly collected from people in Brisbane & environs selling houses to each other.
Ergo, the rest of the state contributes nothing, isn’t relevant economically, & should not be “subsidised”
Yep, he’s a real smart guy.
Will:
Real men can have ovaries too!
Same as I do about the bullshit that schoolies need to wear them all the time, JC. Or that the vaxx is the only way to be safe. There’s an ocean of the stuff.
If the unvaxxed are not part of the economy and have been cast out of society, what rate are they taxed at?
Lol
The “Telegraph”
Cafe Bruce news.
I don’t like his chances but currawong with recently broken leg is hanging in there. It’s a clean break, so his leg dangles down without getting into the way too much. He’s had to learn to eat mince differently, since he used to hold a piece of it with one foot and pluck bits off. That’s now not possible since his only working foot he has to stand on. So he’s now worked out that if he goes onto the roof he can dismantle and eat his lump of mince on the convenient table the roof is.
Then just now I hear “Wuh!” from outside front door. Go check. A cockie. So he/she gets some bread. I suspect random brain nexii fired in order for the cockie to say that. Henceforth I’m now going to have a cockie at my front door saying “Wuh!” loudly each evening.
The fun incident of the day was when next door landlord arrived from Sydney. He’s between tenants. Salt of the earth sort of guy who has a fruit-growing business. So I waves at him and says “hi! welcome back!” (It’s been several years.) He says I see you still have your birds! Hmmm. I turns around and on the roof of my car right behind me is alpha male extrovert currawong. ‘Yep’, I say. Then I hand extrovert currawong some mince which he then messily spreads all over my car roof.
Just had church outside in the carpark.
I’d love to see the science behind that CHO directive.
Mongs.

Let me level with you. Other than the occasional Havana narrative about a Cuban hooker, my impression is that you don’t really offer blogging much. It’s more like.. oh I’m a Mathematician and I therefore sit in judgment above you. You offer opinions on the opinions of others which is a curious form of sanctimony. How about a little less piggy backing and more original comments. Just an idea.
Armourer, 24, on Alec Baldwin film ‘wasn’t sure’ if she was ready for movie set roles
At 24 I would have been confident of being the armourer for any film and no one would have got shot.
This generation is truly retarded, idiocracy live.
Pigsy – Already been done.
Nobody expects the Spanish solar inquisition! (2014)
Amazing how much electricity solar panels can produce at nighttime.
vote him out
There were reports of up to three other previous accidental discharges of prop weapons on the set. One departing crew member called it “super unsafe”.
Three previous negligent discharges could be a huge problem for Baldwin. Systemic issues are definitely his responsibility to fix. Three ND’s says your armourer is a moron. If your armourer is a moron, who isn’t going to check any weapon handed to them?
So Bananaberry has acquiesced on Net Zero. This country is fucked
Bat Eared Mong plays golf:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWt-selZdPM
The reporettes gushing about the “movie set accident” are woeful at details.
Were the prior ‘misfires’ … Negligent discharges? .. or faulty hardware/ammo?
From what can be gleaned, it would seem they were actually powder loads that were too light.
Though could be ND’s.
Perhaps a little harsh.
I know of a few people in their mid 20’s who would have the personal attributes to do the job.
That is, highly organised, methodical and with the confidence to resist pressure to cut corners.
Usually this last characteristic comes with age and experience, but some possess it at an early age.
I’m sticking to my policy of avoiding airheads, JC.
So I was commenting on a book BoN liked. If you commented on my comments to BoN without understanding the context, and without noticing or caring that you didn’t understand, you’re the one with the problem.
If you try to stoush with me I shall write you off as an airhead and ignore you. I think its infantile.
Reports surfacing that she has a less than stellar record on gun safety on film sets.
That being said, the assistant director is meant to be the “last line of defence” and, it would seem, didn’t perform an actual check before deeming the gun safe to be fired on set.
Rosie – One of my fantasies is for a referendum to be held requiring “None Of The Above” to be listed on every ballot paper.
It would be epic. Quite possibly “None Of The Above” could win an election, seeing that actual dogs and cats have done so in the US several times.
Hey I have a great idea! We should allow non-human political candidates because diversity. Animals Australia would love it.
Roger at 7:52.
Sounds like adults were thin on the ground.
Last week it was the simple act of getting a haircut.
This week it was having five friends over to the cottage.
Dismantling tyranny, brick by brick. 🙂
The most extraordinary aspects of the whores selling out the nation to Marxist poverty and slave status is that it happened so quickly, there was no public or parliamentary debate and the electorate has been totally disenfranchised.
There is simply no mechanism for the electorate to register their disapproval.
Big corps, big media, big Govt, little people.
I quake in rage and frustration.
Democracy was a short lived experiment. As the US is demonstrating, the future for we slaves will be apalling.
We’ve been out, Bruce, and didn’t get in until seven, so our Currawongs have missed the evening feeding time, where they usually arrive about 6pm summertime for something to give the babies before sleep. Sadly, they will have gone to bed hungry tonight, I muse, but Hairy says they’re birds and can look after themselves. He’s right of course. They shouldn’t be dependent on us. Talking about dependence on us, Attapuss is hyperexcited that we are home and is ready for his dinner. I give him some chicken Fussy Cat. Feline food. As if chickens aren’t birds too. It’s all too complicated sometimes. Anyway, I am glad your lame Currawong is not yet Crow food. You do see a few one-legged birds around, so maybe all is not lost for him.
That’s true everywhere these days.
The comments on that feed are vile. What’s wrong with these people?
Discussion upthread…hardware modified for a completely different performance setting is the conjecture to explain the “misfires”.
As for the rounds loaded, however the bullet(s) got in there, at least two checks – those by the armourer and the assistant director – would appear to have been perfunctory at best, or simply didn’t happen at worst.
Too expensive to hire, perhaps?
Maybe. Read the feed on rosie’s Twitter link.
They’re getting exactly what they want. No one has been disenfranchised.
Just us.
calli, it’s Twitter. The cesspit of extreme leftists.
Sorry. I’m completely over it. My own father seems to think that me having a tetanus shot will somehow protect him.
The world has gone crazy.
They’ve been frightened and are looking to a strong leader to lead them to safety.
Most ppl are kindly and decent except when scared.
Goodnight chaps and chappesses.
The second volume of Bruce Catton’s trilogy, ‘Mr Lincoln’s Army’ beckons.
He’s a fine writer.
Gore Vidal didn’t think so, which I’ll take as a recommendation.
Calli,
That’s why I don’t think Victorian holdouts can survive indefinitely.
They could starve to death, and all you’d hear is cheers.
It insane down here.
They may wake up, but far too late.
A phenomenon, which of course, has never ever happened previously in human history – with the tragically predictable results.
Sheep.
This one’s for poor ol’ Bern – Gaol. 🙂
Lizzie – I don’t know what is the story with Fussy Cat. The stuff is totally addictive.
My mum’s cats must have Blue Fussy Cat, although they will reluctantly also eat Black Fussy Cat. One day last year I was buying groceries for my mum at her local Coles, and elderly lady behind me loaded the conveyer belt thingie with an impressive array of pet food including Coles mince. And Red Fussy Cat. I had a pile of Blue Fussy Cat. So we got chatting. Turned out she was buying the mince for currawongs and the Red Fussy Cat for her cat. It was one of the more entertaining checkout conversations I’ve had.
At this point the best guess at what actually happened with the prior “misfires” is witness reports from others who were on the set.
From reading them (as regurgitated by entertainment reporterettes) is they sound like either under-loads. Possibly negligent discharges, however a fair dinkum ND on a movie set should (should) be a real big deal & witness reports should be over-the-top. (Mine would be if I were present when an airhead to carelessly discharge a firearm in my presence.)
They’re collectivists. Thou shalt not dare to express an opinion that is not held by everyone else.
Stray outside of that stricture and it’s figurative death. 🙁
Have you read Catton’s biography of U.S. Grant?
BoN, I should probably write an sf book of what would happen to a society that had no scarcity, based on a more cynical view of human nature than Hogan’s.
My expectation is that they’d turn into a bunch of slobs and fight each other. Not to acquire wealth, just for the hell of it.
Fortunately, I’m too lazy and comfortable to write it.
Wonderful in theory, dire in practice – as we are now realising.
Just watching the embarrassing Payne on Sky.
What is it about Australia embarrassing itself by sending overseas enormous fat bags of shit as senior representatives:
Blamey, especially egregious given that he was commanding hardened super fit soldiers.
Rey, ditto.
Sloppy Jo.
Vanstone.
Kirner.
Payne.
If these people lack the discipline to look after their bodies, they lack the capacity for disciplined focus on public policy.
I recall cringing with embarrassment watching Rey’s fat gut leading him in an inspection of an immaculate Marine guard of honour in Washington. We were a laughing stock.
Other than Johnson, I cannot recall a grossly obese representative from any other country being trotted out in the international scene.. Australia has exported masses of the slobs.
Ha ha. Incident at McClown’ house in WA. No details yet. He wasn’t home. Onya, boys.
Bluddee hell! 🙂
Bruce, I’ve found Aldi 2-star mince and Aldi shredded cheese is a big hit at my bird cafe. I get regular visits from a fairy wren clan, pee wees, currawongs and magpies. The magpies eat from my hand, one sits on the arm of my outdoor chair just outside the sliding door waiting for the mince. The currawongs are more wary, they were stealing eggs from a chook pen somewhere in the neighbourhood and using my yard as the dining room and I encouraged them to eat their ill-gotten gains elsewhere. However, I am getting them closer, they take the mince on the doorstep with me sitting just inside the open door.
I’m which you on this one
I didn’t even focus who you’re chatting with and about.
I can’t control what you think about me and I let you know what I thought about your participation. I would have thought you’d appreciate the input in the same you were doing with me the other day. Don’t ever overlord me again.
Revealing but unsurprising comment from Baz. His main concern is appearing to be a “good global citizen”. Never mind the fact that the stupid policy will have zero effect on the weather. Never mind the fact that the policy will benefit the Chicoms. But most of all, never mind the fact that the policy is against the national interest. You know, the reason that Australian governments exist.

That porker is in a class of her own.
Hillary?
Presentable 25 years ago, she’s a mudguts now.
Skier – My old dad gives his house magpies shredded cheese too. He had to wire closed the cat flap on his back door though, because they’d learned to sneak in, trot around to the kitchen, then eat his tomatoes which he’d leave ripening on the sideboard.
Until recently for many years he had a satin bower bird male, with a bower, within easy viewing from his kitchen window. I’ve been very envious! He’s not really a wildlife guy, but has warmed to such things over the years.

I think you are right, rabz, but our problem is that most people are. It’s at the heart of why I am disagreeing with BoN about the book by Hogan. Hogan has a world in which everyone is an individual who thinks for himself. Such a world can’t last long given human nature.
Right.
I warned you that any Springsteen would not pass without return of fire.
A little Bumper Bar for you.
Somewhere, under lock and key, and marked “Never to be Released”, there is allegedly footage of Beazo, in his tailor made cams, stuck in the turret hatch of a Leopard tank, and having to be extracted by his flunkies….
Don’t forget Beazo, Bons.
Oh dear. How could I have forgotten, another Defence embarrassment.
Disgusting for professed national leaders.
Other than the (long overdue) implementation of HOP Time™ 🙂
This personage actually existed?
Big shot in the Australian Republican movement, now the State Governor – the Queen’s representative – of Western Australia.
I see the Hunt for Ed October has come to an anticlimactic end.
Captain Detmer can sleep soundly, though. Chernobyl was in 1986. Rhode Island, 1964. The public aren’t terrified of nuclear power any more, and nor should they be.
The Gweens would do well to drop this one and concentrate on nonexistent sea level rises.
The only reason Payne is Foreign Minister through the party & toyboy Ayers who now has his own problems in ICAC. She seemed beyond useless as defence minister and hasn’t changed.
Another Photios drone.
Bons, earlier:
Agreed. It’s terrible. Every single one of them, bar Blamey went ‘but muh genes’ before ordering seven pork roasts covered in fried cheese and Mars Bars, with a Diet Coke on the side.
As one does. 😕
Don’t think you got the sense of the society DrB, which is a grass-roots assembly based on respect for ability. Doesn’t matter what the ability is, so long as it is done with seriousness and intent. So a person who builds perfect scale models of ships would be as well regarded as a nuclear physicist who produces devastating weapons. Neither need to do it to live, since there’s an abundance of anything they might want. It may have a Japanese cultural underpinning, they seem to have that sort of respect for precision and Masamune-like minutiae.
For those of us in Sydneystan …
Dessert after family roast dinner tonight.
Yum!
I once met Kim Beazo snr. He wasn’t the least bit like jnr. And quite impressive for a politician.

Payne and the Belgian Minister for Health (look that gargantosaurus up, if you dare) could engage in a bingo-wing duel that would actually change the Earth’s climate.

Let’s see you mouth off now, you pompous retard.

about the nuke subs, I didn’t even hear a whisper in the “electorate” you’re so worried about.
Not really a Nuclear Power issue since the USN isn’t letting the RAN have a look into the subs Nuclear Reactor compartment , so all work on it will be done in the U.S.
Wow! The contract hasn’t even been drafted yet, and ‘Ed Case already knows the contents! Amazing what you can find with Google.
Back when we travelled the world, we spied a car with the Strayan flag on it parked outside some very grand building in, I think, Budapest.
Street blocked off by heavy security so it must be a VVIP.
Stood and watched to see who it was.
Eventually, out waddles Payne and rolls into the car.
I felt a great sense of National shame.
Didn’t they flee the Labour-run UK because 95% tax rate or something?
Can’t go past this one but. The time signatures are awesome.
Money
Wasn’t it Beazo snr who coined the immortal phrase about joining the Labor Party when it contained the cream of the working class, only for it now to contain the dregs of the middle class?
I think Mr Baldwin’s mouthiness in relation to gun carelessness might be now tempered somewhat.
Congratulations, srr.
It’s the smugness that annoys me the most, KD.
Those preposterous Bourbonesque Hollyweird indivegetables actually have the gall to look down their coke soaked noses at us normal folk.
In any sane world, they’d be condemned to a disney style theme park which we could happily visit, point and laugh.
Re the video of Mr. Avi Yemini enquiring of some nearby diners why they were abusing him in a vile public manner:
At one stage the bald-headed flog was speaking in tongues to Avi.
Anybody know what he was saying?

Some thoughts for you at the China surveillance thread.
I got that, BoN. But it ain’t that easy. How much respect is an educationalist entitled to? Not much from a practical man, quite a lot from the gullible who are impressed by bullshit. And there’s a lot of them in the human race. The Japanese bought into militaristic bullshit for a lot of their history.
Envisage that Chironian society three generations down the track, with a large underclass of ppl who get no respect from the grass roots practical ppl, because they lack the patience to master any difficult skill. But instead form a collective of dissidents who loathe the establishment precisely because they get no respect. And who are vulnerable to any bullshitting rabble rouser who offers them self respect in exchange for obedience. Who tells them how innately wonderful they are and how they’ve been abused and victimised by the establishment.
I hope you don’t have confidence that it couldn’t happen.
I’ve been gifted with that unsettling feeling for many many moons, Señor Panzer, if that’s any consolation.
With reference to earlier Cats mentioning Katanning as a nice, affordable and relatively liveavle place outside a Big City (TM), might I also offer up for consideration areas around the Peel and Southwest regions of WA?
To wit, the arc between Pinjarra and Manjimup.
Smallish places like Boyanup, Capel, Harvery and Brunswick Junction offer their own self-containedness, good average rainfall (these areas are still currently green, as I confirmed during my sojourns to and from operating the Leschenault Lady this weekend), and are close to Bunbury and Busselton but still far enough away for good separation.
Perth is the best part of 3 hours out, and need only be visited for specific purposes.
In the words of the ad jingle, could somebody please take Paul Murray’s money and give him a bucket of KFC?
Thanks, BJ – the composing will commence tomorrow.

Rude Hebrew.
Dr. Shankara Chetty Discusses His COVID Management Approach.
7,000 COVID patients treated in SA and zero deaths. Very worthwhile watching.
A quick summary of the treatment protocol (see previous interview).
Stage 1. Days 1-5 200mg Hydroxychloroquine 1 x day
Stage 2. If still symptomatic or if it starts again. Promethazine (antihistime) 25mg 3 x day. Aspirin
Stage 3. If still symptomatic, highly unlikely uses steroids.
If only we had a CHO as calm and considered as this Doctor. Note that he considers “Fear and anxiety of COVID” to be a co-morbidity (!!!!).

The young bloke’s inside watching Wolf of Wall Street. Favourable reviews elicited so far.
I am aware this is a sinister development.
Thanks Calli.
What he & the others were saying in English was … pretty bad.
I’d presume the Hebrew section was worse.

Depends, DrB. I respected my Yr 11 Maths teacher a lot, he was really good. I didn’t respect my Physics teacher though, since he handed us the textbook and then went and spent all lessons drinking coffee in the staff room.
Masamune was a swordsmith, if you looked him up. I have a kitchen knife my Japanophile brother gave me once. Breathtaking and beautiful. I daren’t use it as its too sharp and I’m too uncoordinated.
As I said, read The Songs Of A Distant Earth. Interestingly it was written only a year after VfY. 😀
On the other hand you have a point. There’re many SFs about societies which degenerate into miserable urban welfare projects where everyone watches TV all day. Usually the hero has escaped such a horrible fate, yet many in our society might like that lifestyle.

If any of those five flogs spoke as they did, to someone at my place, an option to avoid a physical fisticuff or MMA style escalation would likely not be on the table.
According to Slatts (rest his soul) Melbourne rules were similar.
Was it the presence of video cameras that kept things so genteel?
Or do the Vikstasi have the monopoly on belting hell out of people?
CL, whatever you do, don’t get between Murray and that bucket of chicken. You’ll end up with more than a sore elbow.
(Oops, some corrections: it’s “The Songs of Distant Earth”, it was first anthologized a year after “Voyage from Yesteryear”, then published in full in HB three years after that (the edition I have), but was worked up from an original short story from 1958. A fine story, with interesting cultural and space travel engineering considerations.)
Calli:
I was thinking along those lines when I went to bed this am – bloopers are a feature of many films.
In this age of digital low cost filming, I wonder if there is film of the incident?
So the Nationals and Liberals have agreed on “net zero emissions”.
Time for us voters to reward the Nationals and Liberals with “net zero seats”.
Fair’s fair.
Unsurprisingly, that same thought occurred to the Sherriff, who immediately sought a super-fast warrant for the contents of the audio-visual gear (i.e. movie cameras) on site.
Teachers and educationalists are different, BoN.
Japanese culture produced some beautiful things, including swords, but also poetry, painting and philosophy. Their mathematics wasn’t up to much, possibly because the warrior caste despised it.
Yes, being a compliant television watching slob suits some ppl very well. Sad, but it has to be considered.

It is but it’s always darkest before the dawn. Ten per cent of 5.5M is not a small number. And that will grow as booster req. kick in; I reckon they will loss 10% of the 80-90% they coerced. Another 10% by the second. And you wait for the adverse effects when they become impossible to ignore.
Thanks, Rex. Been a long time since I’ve been in that AO, but I remember it fondly. One of my old friends lives in that general area, and tells me it’s still kind of like California back before it all went wrong. List: added.
Geoblocked. Bummer. Comes up for $1.99, but I’m on VPN via a US server (usually quicker & more reliable than the local Oz one).
Thanks Rbaz, can I just say I like his music, but it’s just that. Also, I’ve seen him twice, once in the US and another time in Melbourne. He does a good job of giving it all.

This good global citizen sadly doesn’t live off any global money but the taxes of us non-global citizens. I’m getting to the point where anyone who declare themselves as global citizens should be exiled to this magical global country they call home.

A single quarantine with a nominal capacity of 1000, even stacked up four to a room, will not go too far there. Either TaliDan is planning a major construction program, or he has a problem.
Speaking of construction, has Gunner been around recently?
If can send it to me as a gift, I can afford to pay you, but I imagine that’s blocked too.
When the chatter about the carbon tax and sequestration and sinks with farms being set aside for these off-sets began back in about 2009 I remember going to meetings where farmers turned up salivating at the prospect of inner city green bureaucrats and pollies giving them wads of cash NOT to farm.
Never get between a farmer and government money not to work; and that’s what scomo has given the nats. Matt kean too. Farmers don’t care; they’re effectively self sufficient; and usually well armed. What do they care if the cities lose power and chaos ensues with hoards of green fucktards bereft of phone and internet connections running amuck until their caffeine highs run out. Then they’ll begin eating grass and pretending it’s smashed avocado.
I’ll give it 6 months before inner Sydney looks like downtown Chicago. Western Sydney is already run by the muzzies and they don’t give a fuck about power. And melbournistan is already cooked but doesn’t know it. Anyway it’s all hypothetical; according to Molan the chunks, thanks to biden, will run the place within a year or two. They can’t afford to wait until 24 when Trump may get back in.

Indeed. A UN citizenship program should be started, with UN citizens (and staff) being taxed by the UN to fund its operations. Tax Cassidy’s Australian taxpayer funded retirement at a level adequate to fund the UN’s operations, and watch him lose enthusiasm.
A few weeks back I signed up to the Covid Medical Network newsletter. In today’s edition was a report by an engineer with a link to an anonymous group of health professionals – mostly nurses – all reporting on the numbers and types of adverse reactions to the jabs they’ve been dealing with. The group was started in September and has 56K subscribers. The testimonies are unbelievable.
Ftb mentioned this earlier:
That is diabolical. What the hell is going on at the NIH?
America is a truly incredible place. Nothing remotely like that country exists in the universe.
I watched a doco on Prime (by the way, Amazon Prime has really improved these days). It was about the beginning and subsequent fall of WeWork. How to describe WeWork? I dunno, I have to look to see if someone can better describe the business WeWork was in . They tried to sell it as a technology company in order to gain the multiples and for a time they succeeded. But is also wasn’t a real estate firm either.
The founder and his wife were absolute nutballs. The business went from having a valuation of US$47 billion to being bust in 6 weeks. The founder walked away with around US$1.7 billion. It’s worth watching to see how a huckster operates. It surprises me he got away with it for a long time. The way he expressed himself had huckster painted all over it.
I agree, Dover, but a lot of the 10% will have had to submit by then.
Avoiding the first round of jabs is going to get very hard, very quickly.
As you say, the Battle of the Boosters is about to begin.

The biggest betrayal of regional Australia in our nation’s history.
It’s now ZERO trust in the Nationals.

However, it’s coming through with no violins. No woodwinds. No harp.
Just the bagpipes.
Rabz, I should know who is Steve Jones? Does he live in Parramatta? 🙂

Bangladesh must be the biggest shit hole on earth.
Currently they are purging Hindu’s in the west of the country.
A couple of years back they went east into Burma & purged Buddhists and then turned tail when they experienced pushback.
Apart from migrating to England & joining the Labour party, I’m not sure what the country does.
