Except when it works. I give you the two greatest scientific frauds ever perpertated: Global Warming and mRNA “vaccines”. Both achieved by hysterical activism.
I think you missed the significance of the phrase “otherwise noble cause”. Neither of those causes is in any imaginable way “noble”.
On the leadership/Generalship.
The germans high command seemed to have a knack for selecting some extremely competent blokes while it was in operation. Hindenburg was awesome in the East, much less so in the West.
I think one of the best things about learning about the “greats” is it might improve the average standard rather than make stars.
KD
Snap!
Consider this.
A small group of us control the world.
We have Big Pharma, the UN and WHO, all national leaders and legislatures in our pocket.
We even control the AFL rules committee.
We have the power to execute anyone who gets in our way, are intent on global genocide, and mind control or imprisonment of thr survivors.
We have the wherewithal to do all of this.
But we better lodge the patent.
Don’t want to do the wrong thing.

I think one of the best things about learning about the “greats” is it might improve the average standard rather than make stars.
Each of Australia (Monash), New Zealand (Russell) and Canada (Currie) came up with a well above average general in World War I.
Pancho emulates Riccardo.
It only takes one goat.
Mole – Yes, there seem to be guys with a knack for maneuver generalship like Hindenberg and Rommel, and guys like Monash and Brusilov who have great ability in a static battlefield. It’d make a fine PhD drilling down to the individual competency gifts of such people.
Hysterical activism is the greatest dead weight an otherwise noble cause can have.
partly right.
You need a corrupted and lazy media in cahoots as well.
Or do you think its an accident the one ‘ditch the witch” sign, at one protest is broadcast every time they wheel out the lying Slapper for another whinge about muh soggy knees?
Every protest or group will have a fringe element, some deliberate stirrers, others mistaken, and finally an opportunistic group who will use the issue to run their own agenda/hobby horse.
What make the difference is how much the media chooses to focus on the fringe and frame the story around them.
We have people in the Libs/Lab who are completely ga-ga.
Penny “we had a baby” Wong for example.
Also what extremest radical platform is this statement taken from, and are the garage Nazis yet?
As Australia begins our vaccine rollout, we believe Covid-19 vaccines should be provided on a voluntary basis and free of charge to the whole population.
Hidden answer here…
Tom Cotton wrecks A-G Garland. Devastating.

Been a whole series of these lately, the global warming one being the biggest and the covid one the most nasty. So far at least.
Bruce, I reckon the CAGW bull is worse.
Its been going on foe 30+ years, whereas the covid scare will end shortly after Melbinburg trials and executions.
It must be summer. Three brown snakes on the bike paths this morning. I’m not good with snakes so when I came across the third and largest one sunning itself on the bitumen I was about to turn around and flee.
An elderly pedestrian lady arrived, grabbed stick and bashed the path with it then threw it at the snake. It disappeared at a speed that amazed me.
“They’re dozy in the morning, you have to wake them up and shoo the pests away”.
Think I’ll stick with the go elsewhere strategy.
Not a smart move with a Brown snake. They are more than likely to attack you if you pull that shit.
Solution 12G or 4-10 are known to work.
The atmosphere of Mars is already 99% CO2, so a little more isn’t going to do anything much, except maybe cause an extremely cold planet to get a tiny amount warmer.
Around 5 to 6 deg C IIRC. Actually 95% CO2. No great greenhouse effect even though there is around 25 to 30 times as much CO2 over every square meter of Mars as there is on Earth.
Lack of great effect because the total pressure is low so less line broadening and Mars is colder to begin with so the infrared emissions are more in the transmission window.
That Mars bio rocket fuel article is demented. Have these idiots not heard of the Sabatier process? CO2 + H2O + energy = 2O2 + CH4 and that is what was planned by Bob Zubrin 30+ years ago and now Elon Musk. Lots of good reasons for this method and no you don’t transport methane from Earth.
The last major German victory of any import was the Battle of Bautzen. It was an enormous tank battle involving over 1500 tanks. The Germans wiped out nearly two Guards armies. It was fought in April, 1945. The Battle to retake Lauban in April – May represented the last real blitzkrieg of the German Army where the Luftwaffe and the Wehrmacht operated in a co-ordinated fashion to retake the town of Lauban in Silesia, which they absolutely had to have since it was a major rail hub. The Germans took the town and held it to the surrender, allowing the coal mines to produce tens of thousands of tons of coal and send them into Germany right up until the end of the war.
Try never to go up against German soldiers. Competent and stubborn even when the cause is lost.
Santa Anna might have been in trouble at the Alamo if the defenders were all Germans.

Can I ask about Bosi? He used to post at the Cat a lot . He announced his wife was (unfortunately) very ill and then I rarely really him saw him comment again. From vague memory, I would describe his views (in my terms) as military right as his comments appeared coded in that sort of language. It wasn’t “bad” or anything, but just how he came across to me like a particular speech code.
I recall a really hilarious event when the Conrad Hilton of FNQ was stoushing trolling and went into a ethnic slur/ diatribe against me about how Italians were/are cowards. Bosi came on the site just after the imbecile had posted those comments and I asked Bosi what he thought about Driller isuggesting his was a coward. Sometimes silence speaks volumes. Timing is everything. 🙂
Getting back to the point…

These Hollywood idiots have zero common sense. In fact it’s actually negative commone sense, which is why they should never speak about anything other than film making and if they do, they should be ignored.
The other day, I learnt a new word as result of the Bladwin killing. “Armorist”.
Yesterday I learnt another. “Plinking”.
Plinking is when are guns used on the set and the crew go and have a little fun during time off using the guns to shoot at beer cans. That’s plinking. Those guns are then used for acting scenes loaded with blanks of whatever.. This is so mind boggling dangerous to dual use guns like this.

My thoughts too when reading the media release of 25 July 2021,
I tried to research a bit and now think it may have someting to do with COVAX (Scroll down to this sub-heading) from this govt site updated

Calli: I’m really not a Vaccination Warrior, and I’m on my phone, so time series analysis is awkward.
But seeing as it’s you:
When you look at the ONS data for 2020 and 2021, the first thing that you see is that the number of weekly deaths in the 15-19 age group is mercifully low, between about 7 and 12 per week.
The total summer difference between male deaths in 2020 and 2021 is 101 – or ~4 per week. The standard deviation over the same period in 2021 is 4 per week (similar in 2020).
Plotting the data shows the same slight upward trend across summer in both years, and no sign of carnage as the vaccine was rolled out into younger age groups.
I can’t do much more on the hoof. But this all tells me that the data set is tiny compared to the 3.6 million cohort and wide open to statistical problems.
Robust conclusions like ‘This is EVIDENCE that vaccines are slaughtering Britain’s youth – why is everyone silent’ just don’t stand up to casual scrutiny.
There will be a different view based on 5 years of data. But too hard to do atm.
Thanks Faustus. It just had me intrigued. Both the original article and the fact check seemed a little “off”.
Excellent analysis, Dr. F. Linking with the phone was also masterful 🙂

I think it was Anthony Hopkins who said that actors are usually not very intelligent. Their job is to wear what they are told to, stand where they are told to, do what they are told to and say what they are told to. No thought required.
Another thing to consider about Sir John Monash is his background.
As a Civil Engineer circa 1910, Monash was a pioneer of the use of Reinforced Concrete in his projects.
He was always across his material and the research and application of innovations.
As such, Combined Arms practice (as demonstrated from Le Hamel onwards) was going to come out of someone like him. The less stratified and more innovative nature of the First AIF relative to its parent Commands would have helped this, too.
Also keep in mind that while the scale was constrained, the final Allied campaigns of WW1 were manoeuvre warfare in relatively open terrain.
Whether it makes sense or not, that’s what they’ve been doing for at least the last 20 years. Just ask Dr. David Martin. It may well have to do with profit. Even in this dystopian world they still want proprietary ownership of their killing fields methods.
B John.
They’re Artists. They have zero conception of shit like trade offs, how funding things costs money, and consequences. They don’t think that way. They should simply be ignored and/or treated as perpetual minors. They’re opinions are zero.

Bruce, the worst was in my childhood and early teenage years – the latter particularly tough, and all in the uncomprehending 1950’s in dire poverty. My father also had a severe psychiatric illness at that time too. If I reminisce here in my later age I guess it is because I am still processing it. Both of my parents recovered sufficiently to survive and live independently. I am glad of that. My sister and I had a difficult time through those years, helping and living where we could, always employed; a story of its own some time. We’ve both done well, which is a tribute to the 1950’s and 60’s in a strange way.
I am sorry to hear about your mum. These things can strike suddenly, and sometimes are over quickly too with modern medications. It is hard on the child, no matter how old or even adult that child is, and I do so console you over the stress of it. Glad she’s ok now.
My point was it has turned me into a fairly hard-headed scientific and lab-based skeptic with little toleration for nano-wrigglers pulled out of the air. I wouldn’t disgree that there has been noble cause corruption with both global warming and with Covid. For the former, the hypothesis is lacking causative detail, depends on modelling and has no solid empirical verification, all of which is fundamental, so corruption becomes essential to sustain the climate scam. For the latter, the epidemiologal data has been ‘in process’ and uncertain making conclusions difficult and procedural hesitancy understandable, but the disease is real and the vaxxes a ‘first response’, take it or leave it. In both Anthropogenic Climate Change and Sars-Cov-2 there has been a lot of political obfuscation.
I honestly don’t know JC.
Has he gone “off the rails” in the last 18 months?
Or has he always believed this stuff and has decided he isn’t holding it in any more?
Some people do this.
They start out with a topic like, say, Hillary Clinton and the corrupt Democrats. A target rich environment in and of itself. But that is not enough for them. Next minute they are all swivel-eyed ‘pizzagate with red shoes’ loons.
Is it some sort of “Topper alert” desire to have an even more shocking story than the last one?
This is just me speculating, right.
But I think we have a 61 year old whose post military career hasn’t been quite as glittering as he thought it should have been, and he is becoming increasingly shrill and desparate. The failures must be due to “dark forces”.
Not him.

Let me guess, no transfer bar, so that if you lift and drop the hammer it will go off no matter what you’re doing with the trigger?
While you are here Lizzie I wish to thankyou for being the inspiration for me to do some work in the writing department. I have these stories in my head without being able to express them as I wished to. Well I have made a start. Being only for my own edification I expect nothing except the joy of doing it as life for me is the journey not the destination.
Pfizer’s emails are the tip of the iceberg: Aborted fetal cells have been used in vaccines for 50 yrs.
Baldwin was practising a cross body quick draw, no doubt lifted the hammer on something on the way through and the rest is history.
Too damn dangerous as a stunt gun without serious modification. We don’t know if it was modified but either way the gun should be checked as it passes to a new set of hands.
Yes. Small numbers of deaths against a huge cohort.
At this stage, leave it to the statisticians who can tease more out of the data.
The armourer’s father was also a fillem armourer.
He also had an interest in “quick draw” competitions.
These weapons are modified to fire with a minimum of intervention and they use wax slugs rather than lead bullets for safety.
Given she probably wouldn’t have had her own inventory of weapons, did she borrow some of daddy’s which were “light” on the firing mechanisms.
Apparently this gun had already “misfired” on set twice.
Mr Anthony Cumia (of Compound Media, I might have mentioned him before) said the gun that was used has a single “gate” that rounds need to be loaded into one by one.
He reckons it’s a lazy/inexperienced person who opens “the gate” sees it’s empty & then thinks the whole gun is empty.
Which it’s not.
Geez! this Baldwin shooting is really getting a work-out .. they have been making movies involving guns going BANG for over a century and, obviously, things have gotten out of hand (or barrel) occasionally! I think 2 other deaths have been mentioned here, neither of which I recall, but reality is if the shooter had been an also-ran somebody would be in gaol now & the news cycle moved on.
But as it’s a, supposedly, high profile anti -Trump actor involved the blame game is well and truly in play .. anyone except the trigger-puller-must-have-dun-it conspiracies abound … they haven’t reached the tea-lady yet but …….. LOL!

Novavax Files for Authorization of its COVID-19 Vaccine in the United Kingdom. (27/10/21)
Filing marks first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine submitted to MHRA for authorization
All modules required for regulatory review, including CMC data, are now complete
Submission based on Phase 3 data from ~45K patients demonstrating high efficacy and well-tolerated safety, including against variants
Submissions to additional global regulatory authorities including EU, Canada and Australia expected soon
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, today announced the completion of its rolling regulatory submission to the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for authorization of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate. The company’s application for Conditional Marketing Authorization (CMA) marks the first submission for authorization of a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine in the United Kingdom.
“This submission brings Novavax significantly closer to delivering millions of doses of the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, built on a proven, well-understood vaccine platform that demonstrated high efficacy against multiple strains of the coronavirus,” said Stanley C. Erck, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. “We look forward to MHRA’s review and will be prepared to deliver vaccine doses following what we anticipate will be a positive decision. We thank the clinical trial participants and trial sites in the United Kingdom, as well as the U.K. Vaccines Taskforce, for their support and vital contributions to this program.”
Novavax has now completed the submission of all modules required by MHRA for the regulatory review of NVX-CoV2373, the company’s recombinant nanoparticle protein-based COVID-19 vaccine with Matrix-M™ adjuvant. This includes preclinical, clinical, and chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) data. Clinical data from a pivotal Phase 3 trial of 15,000 volunteers in the U.K. was submitted to MHRA earlier this year in which NVX-CoV2373 demonstrated efficacy of 96.4% against the original virus strain, 86.3% against the Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant and 89.7% efficacy overall, as well as a favorable safety and tolerability profile. The submission also includes data from PREVENT-19, a 30,000-person trial in the U.S. and Mexico, which demonstrated 100% protection against moderate and severe disease and 90.4% efficacy overall. NVX-CoV2373 was generally well-tolerated and elicited a robust antibody response.
Novavax expects to complete additional regulatory filings in key markets, including Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the World Health Organization and other markets around the world shortly following the U.K. submission. In the U.S., Novavax expects to submit the complete package to the FDA by the end of the year. The company continues to work closely with governments, regulatory authorities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in its commitment to ensuring equitable global access to its COVID-19 vaccine.
“The submission to MHRA leverages our manufacturing partnership with the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest supplier of COVID-19 vaccines,” said Rick Crowley, Executive Vice President, Chief Operations Officer, Novavax. “In the near future, we expect to supplement this filing with supply from our global supply chain.”

About NVX-CoV2373
NVX-CoV2373 is a protein-based vaccine candidate engineered from the genetic sequence of the first strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. NVX-CoV2373 was created using Novavax’ recombinant nanoparticle technology to generate antigen derived from the coronavirus spike (S) protein and is formulated with Novavax’ patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies. NVX-CoV2373 contains purified protein antigen and can neither replicate nor can it cause COVID-19.
Novavax’ COVID-19 vaccine is packaged as a ready-to-use liquid formulation in a vial containing ten doses. The vaccination regimen calls for two 0.5 ml doses (5 microgram antigen and 50 microgram Matrix-M™ adjuvant) given intramuscularly 21 days apart. The vaccine is stored at 2°- 8° Celsius, enabling the use of existing vaccine supply and cold chain channels.
About Matrix-M™ Adjuvant
Novavax’ patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant has demonstrated a potent and well-tolerated effect by stimulating the entry of antigen-presenting cells into the injection site and enhancing antigen presentation in local lymph nodes, boosting immune response.
About Novavax
Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX) is a biotechnology company that promotes improved health globally through the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative vaccines to prevent serious infectious diseases. The company’s proprietary recombinant technology platform combines the power and speed of genetic engineering to efficiently produce highly immunogenic nanoparticles designed to address urgent global health needs. Novavax is conducting late-stage clinical trials for NVX-CoV2373, its vaccine candidate against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. NanoFlu™, its quadrivalent influenza nanoparticle vaccine, met all primary objectives in its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in older adults. Both vaccine candidates incorporate Novavax’ proprietary saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies

Whilst I’ve only met Ricardo three times and the last time was well over two years ago….pre-Covid, I found him personable and intelligent. He was most certainly not a loon. I always thought him to be a solid conservative.
“What’s made him appear to be off centre these days as I haven’t followed him and no one has really explained? Those who talk about him seem to all know the background story. What is it.”
Who knows, maybe he’s angry about the state of the world but he’s not the only one. Many of us are but we don’t rant and rave about pedophile conspiracies. I know he got done over by Cory Bernardi with Bernardi’s vanity project, the Australian Conservatives but again, he wasn’t the only one. When you’re angry you need to channel it…..and I don’t think falling for and spruiking conspiracies, particularly pedophile conspiracies, is recommended. I also note that in one of his Youtube videos earlier this year, he ranted, raved and dissed Sky News……the only media that has ever given him a platform. Well he’s now slammed that door shut.
As for his rave at the magistrate, I found it laughable and quite frankly, immature. He finished off his tirade with the word “begone”….well he got that right, Ricardo’s political career is now “begone”…forever.
Why else, flying Quaintarse.
Always an interesting point – those who condemn the British and Dominion armies as “Lions led by donkey’s” usually have nothing to say about the “Hundred Day’s” – the longest series of victories in the British Armies history, when, contrary to later propaganda, the German Army was completely shattered and retreating as fast as they could.
This has to end. Really. It does.
If you’re not reporting relevant data its because its not supporting your position.
I intend to weave “begone” into everyday conversation a lot more.
It is a vastly underutilised word.
Of course, it does lack impact when the subject of your “begone” has already pre-emptively begoned himself.
Do tell!
I mean, I know Bernardi was a complete dud, but is there anything more to it?
I had never heard of Monash until I read AJP Taylor’s The First World War, where he describes him as the “only general of creative originality”* produced by the war – a startling tribute in a book where the war is characterised as the tragic playing out through millions of men’s lives of the stupidity, stubbornness and conceitedness of generals.
In fact I grew up wondering how it was that the western allies won either war, but moreso the second where the Germans seemed so much more flashy and brilliant. But that might have been it. The Nazis were blinded to risk by novelty, while the allies eschewed novelty to avoid of the risk. When the Me-262 appeared the allies did not suddenly divert resources to produce masses more Gloster Meteors. They plodded on with the same bombing strategy against German infrastructure because it was working.
I saw a program the other night about a German attempt to get a grip on he status or British radar in the last days of peace prior to the war. They had seen the towers being erected on the coast and sent a Zeppelin with a crack team of specialists to verify what it was. They reported back that whatever they were for, it was not radar. How did they miss it? Their radar was based on sending kHz of pulses out to detect objects. They heard nothing like that.
The British, because they were in a hurry and opted to work with what they had rather than accept delays while they devised additional technologies, used the national power grid. 25Hz. The resolution was still plenty good enough – how far could an object move in 0.04 of a second. But it meant they had the national grid to provide the enormous amounts of power and, surely most brilliant, it meant that all the towers were synchronised. A gigantic array. They had tracked the Zeppelin the whole way up and down the coast uninterrupted.
The Germans had received the radar transmissions, which they heard as a ‘tick-tick-tick’, but attributed it to the sparking of normal electrical transmission towers, which would arc at, you guessed it, 25Hz.
*Yes, that is a quote. I just double checked in my copy. Page 232.
What about working “you have no standing” & “begone” into the one sentence/rant/diatribe?
“Do tell!
I mean, I know Bernardi was a complete dud, but is there anything more to it?”
No, it’s just that Bernardi made the unilateral decision after May 2019 to simply fold the party and left people like Ricardo in the cold.
I’ve just been looking at our two Currawong fledgies testing out the edges of the nest again. They’re going to be off very soon. They are also beginning to be aware of each other. This is heart-in-mouth time for us anxious humans peering at them through a window. Not yet, I’m whispering to them. I am a bit worried they are too fat. All that pork mince. Nature likes slimness and keeping things lean, I remind myself, running hands over my own Covid kilos. At least I am not trying to fly, which is one consolation.
I think KD needs to get on board too.
Everytime he gives a “near enough is good enough” LBW against a lefty, he should raise the finger and say “Begone, mollyduker!”.
Oh, yes, I had forgotten that.
I do recall Bernardi conducting an insipid Trumble style campaign.
Still, you’d think an ex SAS type would have enough starch in his shirt to shake that off and move on.
There are less than 4000 people over the age of 16 in the ACT who haven’t had any jabs yet.

The only way to know for sure re adolescent deaths in the UK would be to examine death certificates.
I sort of got the impression that teenagers tended to stay indoors because of lockdowns in 2020 so there were less boys dying, by misadventure, car accidents, homicide etc than usual, then in 2021 they made up for that.
When he folded the party he took the name with him so that any chance of building on the work already done was taken away.
Kind of a dog act really
So its a breech loader like a Lithgow .22 LR?
“When he folded the party he took the name with him so that any chance of building on the work already done was taken away.

Correct.
exactly.
I couldn’t fathom why the #1 rule of gun safety on film sets wasn’t ‘no live rounds anywhere, at any time’.
Something from the Bard –
You could substitute “begone!” quite adequately. If the dog had three legs…
Turbullshit was behind it all along, IMO.
The prick had deadshit Corman pass the dreadful new Senate voting laws.
Rosie, fewer deaths by misadventure sounded right to me too.
Shut up Bern.
I swear, I take a brief look and it all looks okay. I think I may be a tad on the Dyslex side as it’s getting worse as I get older or it’s the autocorrect. I dunno which, but I’m also jockeying around a couple of screens. And FFS it’s a freaking blog. who cares?

I know nothing apart from the tutorial on his show earlier this week.
The 1800’s revolvers weren’t like today’s revolvers.
They were “closed” at the grip end.
Apart from the “gate” to slide in each round.
Load one, rotate, load one rotate etc.
You had to count your shots because you couldn’t see any of the chambers apart from the one lined up with the “gate”.
I’m using the terms Cumia used on his show.

In all seriousness the gruinaid moderators do this in their comments section.
When I bothered (between bannings) I was perplexed by how some of the comments seemed to come out so mangled or spellwrecked when they seemed fine before.
So I actually cut and pasted a few onto word before posting. When I went back to see if there were responses or arguments to comments I found some (not all) of the comments were monged up by someone else.
Generally any time you took 15 minutes to rebut someone, with links (best ones were gruinaid ones themselves) and well argued points, that was the ones which would be nobbled.
Really weird stuff from whats supposed to be a serious newspaper.
Much written about Monash above, but Currie was also very creative, particularly organisationally, moving to three engineer battalions in each division in 1918, rather than only three companies, plus a pontoon bridging unit. This enabled the Canadian Corps to advance quicker and for longer than other BEF divisions. He was also creative in his use of machine guns.
Russell made the best use of his limited New Zealand personnel resource, ensuring that his battalions were kept strong, in comparison to the greatly weakened Australian battalions in the Hundred Days.
Among the British, Ivor Maxse, who commanded successively the 18th (New Army) Division and the XVIII Corps, made significant advances in training methods from the time he arrived on the Western Front, and ended up as Director of Training for the BEF. Plumer of Second Army did not introduce any major tactical or technical innovations, but better than most, he learned how to use the existing tactics, to gain success.
Generals like Gough and Haking are best consigned to the dustbin of history.
No, the ‘gate is a small flap at the rear right hand side of the cylinder to load rounds individually.
Gate loading pistol
They fire in single action only, that is, the hammer has to be cocked manually then pull the trigger.
I agree with Cassie about Riccardo, he is charming and intelligent. He came with his very nice wife to a sit-down dinner of 13 Cats (a baker’s dozen) at our place, where he contributed to the bonhomie and was much liked. His school-age kids played in another room where his unstinting attention to them showed a great dad; he was also such a gentle and loving husband to his obviously ill disabled wife.
Both Hairy and I felt that he was done over by the Australian Conservatives hierarchy. He appeared to many, including us. to be the best Senate candidate, as he’d had some good media exposure as a forceful and sensible conservative voice, but was put third on their list – unwinnable (though in the event there was no hope of even one candidate getting up). His ego must have found that hard to take but he still persevered with working for the Party. When the extent of the ongoing electoral debacle became apparent Cory disbanded the Party and Riccardo decided to forge out on his own, which I considered a mistake, just a further fragmentation of the centre-right. He also was taking a direction into extremist positions I did not share and did not see as having much electoral appeal, and which has now called his judgement into question. Perhaps the Aust Cons experience soured him in the wrong way. Perhaps I don’t know enough to say. Best to leave it at that.
That’s certainly true for consumer real time GPS.
Survey GPS is much more accurate: 1:1million, or 100mm across 100 km. However each reading takes up to an hour of sampling different frequencies from multiple satellites and then correcting for wobbles and exotic physics.
So limited use for Covid apps.
Life of Brian stuff at ICAC and Borisjilkian
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/oct/28/daryl-maguire-tells-icac-he-discussed-marriage-and-children-with-gladys-berejiklian
In an explosive day of evidence in the New South Wales anti-corruption watchdog’s inquiry, Maguire, the former Wagga Wagga MP, also revealed that he and Berejiklian were in love with each other and had discussed getting married and having a child.
Shes 51 years old now… where was the fetus going to come from?
And that’s exactly what it’s supposed to be. It just beggars belief that they had (reportedly) hundreds of live rounds (as opposed to blanks) on a movie set.
Maguire has a head like a buttercup squash.
BBS – Sorry, I took off for a bicycle ride, just back. It looks very promising.
There’re details missing on the Novavax article you put up, but the upshot is they’re through approval in the UK. No favours like emergency approvals seem to be being given, maybe because the big boys don’t like the competition (someone on Instapundit this morning said Pfizer alone has 700 lobbyists in Washington DC…).
The essence is that the Novavax vaccine is a nanoparticle coated with spike proteins. That means it floats in the bloodstream and etc and presents itself to immune system cells there. This is good, basically like killed-virus vaccines do. The benefit of Novavax over a killed-virus vaccine is that all the supposedly killed virus may not be dead, or if it is over-killed it may not be effective. Thus an artificial vaccine like Novavax which emulates a killed-virus vaccine is meeting the best of both worlds.
The adjuvant is a thing which stimulates the immune system to react to the invader, so mount an antibody-generating defense against it. Which is what the whole idea is.
That the Novavax vaccine can be kept at 2 – 8 C means it is a lot more stable than the others, which require much colder storage temperatures especially the mRNA ones. That also means it isn’t mRNA based, therefore should be a lot less likely to cause autoimmune reactions like the myocarditis and clot issues we’ve seen with the others.
What I don’t see in the press release is how they make the spike protein itself. They mention genetic engineering. The crucial issue for someone like me is how that is done. That’s the problem with AZ. One of the interesting vaccines is the Covaxin killed-virus vaccine that is being produced in India. It uses a culture of green monkey cells to grow the virus in. That makes sense since in India they have a lot of Muslims, so would not want to use pig tissue. And they may have similar issues surrounding the human fetal cell line that AZ uses. Green monkey cells avoid those problems.
Interesting that neither Monash, nor Russell or Currie were regular soldiers.
I suspect he sold his email subscribers list to a couple of conservative media outlets too.

Arec Bardwin has shot and killed more people than I expect 99% of the NRA’s members.
(Here I am excluding those current NRA members may have killed in combat since they are sent to places and told to kill people or else face charges.)

Oh, and if he had observed the gun discipline the NRA advocates, he those people would be in turn uninjured and alive.
Gay Leprechaun Airlines. What more can I say.
The weapon used by Baldwin was a Pietta .45 Long Colt single action revolver.
I had a great video on the operation of this weapon but when I went to link it just now it had vanished… just as the one regarding the pistol packing child ‘armorer’ did.

It’s not unknown for a woman of fifty to naturally conceive a child.
I recall Hairy and I were discussing having another when I was going on for forty-seven to his thirty-seven. It was a realistic prospect still – I was still menstruating and ovulating. One’s body tends to remember. My last child was having his son, conceived the natural fun way, when I was forty-two after having produced his daughter, same technique, when I was forty. Still time for a contraceptive slip up, I said, and while we both liked the idea we decided five kids (including my first two) might be a too hard task. Sometimes we ponder that decision and think how nice a third child would have been for us. I loved being pregnant and had no troubles with pregnancy, and childbirth – no, I didn’t factor that in at all, you forget about childbirth in the enthusiasm for another child.
If you bought short dated, out of the money calls before all of Faulty’s doomsday predictions, you would have been richer than Elon.
Arky – it’s about to have an election (in March), so whatever it’s like now it’s going to get worse.
The root issue is that the Covid reign of terror has made a large proportion of voters nuttier than attack-hamsters, so any election is going to be a really scary proposition.
You wont be getting in without the clot shot. NSW is likely to be the first to remove that requirement.

There’s a cruise ship called The World which sells apartments as in a high rise building, and it travels constantly. Some people live in these apartments permanently, with all their own facilities, and utilise the cruise facilities too. Some let out their apartments. I’m not sure of its international status, but five years ago prices for apartments started at three million dollars. I wonder how they are doing now, post-Covid?
If you don’t need a huge amount of space perhaps a cruising yacht or catamaran, you can buy them quite cheap in the USA.

You can have the house across the road from me Arky. Saw the guy this morning, we get on well, he’s an ex-Pom. He says the owner is about to sell up. I’d guess $450k. He and his lady also have new jobs further in town here in Ncl and are inclined to move closer. Got a pretty good shed for doing Model A stuff in too.
She is registered in the Bahamas and operated by a company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The monthly maintenance vig must be very high because ships require a lot of maintenance. You can’t be stateless as it’s not allowed. You require a passport and the ability to avoid tax etc would be the same as exchanging your passport for one in low tax domicile.

I saw a docco on this. They spent time with a chap who was 90+. He and his wife bought the cabin (apartment) 30 years ago. They cruise the seas. When they’re in a US port their family come to visit. The wife had passed away 5 years before. His best line was to him it was safer than living on land. Should he full ill a doctor was only 3mins away. Not sure how he would have got on over the past 2 years.
This is what like-minded people need to do – buy up streets and suburbs and create enclaves.
Most supposedly have their morgues next to the food fridges. Why not , right?

Zatara, here’s some footage of a guy firing the Pietta Long Colt S/A. It’s quite good if you can ignore the overblown Spaghetti Western music.
For those who don’t know, watch how when he “fans” the hammer at the beginning, he is holding the trigger all the way back, not squeezing it each time and releasing it between shots.
I rather suspect Baldwin did something similar, squeezing toot tightly on the trigger during the cross-draw, thumbing back the hammer, then releasing it at full cock, and … blam! (No, not “chik, chik boom!)
Hairy had work in Hobart and Launceston for a few months so we rented a place right on the beach in upmarket Sandy Bay. It was cheap as chips compared to Sydney. We found Hobart to be a very low-key and interesting place to live as long as you could hop over to Melbourne for some shopping. My good friend from those days now tells me the place has become overcrowded and over-busy, but she’s rather old-school and old-money about such things. Basically, Tassie has increasingly become a retirement home for some very green public servants still living high on the defined-benefits retirement hog. Once out of town in Tassie you really are out of town. Deliverance territory.
“toot” tightly? WTF.
Unfair, Lizzie. The town I linked to on Domain was Rosebery, which used to have a very nice silver lead and zinc mine. So I’ve been 1 km under the town of Rosebery! It was a country town and the people had serious antibodies against green disease. Macquarie Harbour nearby is a big aquaculture site, which the Greens also hate.
I lived in Hobart a couple years, whereupon I discovered my personal problem is I’m someone who likes hot weather. In Tassie that’s never a possibility.
As we were heading out we saw it heading towards the famous Trollfjiorden in Norway, a very narrow channel into a smallish but extraordinary bay. It seemed unwieldy and I doubted if they would have made it in, probably would have had to use the tender boats.
O the days of ocean cruising. Laugh if you must but I miss them. Champagne times.
Carefree internationals just having fun on board, friendship and fashion and food.
Depends on the cruise line, of course.
Unless specifically designed with one. In the event of a death, food goes out, body goes in.
General Custer was apparently seen on the Rust set, a few minutes before the shooting.
If true, very suspicious. Custer never fired his own firearms – he had a personal corporal who would do it for him. (Same fellow also visited the latrines for the Man.)
I know. I’m just keeping the hordes out. There are parts of Tassie that I adore, and they are smaller places in the country, some on the west coast. Nevertheless, there’s still plenty of Hicksville around, and a few places where the locals are shifty and cooking up or worse.
I wonder if the ABC chap will apologise to de Kock for calling him a racist @sarc.

I am a Nordic type and revel in the cold. Hairy’s phenotype is part of the log-boat ride up from the Mediterranean coast, adventurers who populated south-western England and Ireland early on in humanity’s travels. He doesn’t do cold well at all. Hence he wouldn’t stay in Hobart any longer than he had too, in spite of blandishments for him to remain working there. I will never move to Brisbane to be near to our daughter, I say, because I can’t stand the humidity. Sydney seems to be the comfortable marital middle for us, so here we stay.
Thing I like about here is the climate, the good mix of tradies and professionals with tradies in the ascendant. Unlike the south coast, fewer retired bureaucratic d*ckheads on defined benefits lording it over the hoi poloi.
Might have something to do with the remnant steel town, maybe not. Always hard to tell, being a new chum.
I reckon you could make a good living providing services to a cashed up retired cohort, lots of business already do.

Arky, SA has few restrictions at the moment, but that could change, of course. Marshall’s inner dictator is dying to break out. Masks don’t have to be worn in schools anymore (my grandies never did, despite the rulings. Teachers were ‘Meh’.)
Land and housing definitely cheaper, but give Adelaide a miss. Great regional/country communities that make newcomers instantly welcome. And country school teachers have always been more student involved and supportive: their student’s dad could well be hubby’s employer.
Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas are nice, as are the Riverland and Barossa and Clare Valleys. Avoid the suburbs immediately north of Adelaide: many single, welfare families with public schools chokkas with learning and behaviour issues. (Having said that, Trinity College R to 12 at Gawler is one of the best schools I have been involved with.)
There are many lovely communities in the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula, and in the South East, Naracoorte and Mount Gambier are close to the Vic border.
Interesting that in the little street where we’re building our multi-family home, two of the nine allotments are ex-Victorians.
