I’m going to posit that you could gather every Nobel Laureate of the last 50 years and not one of them could make any sense out of that comment.
Reality, from a bloke intimately involved in the logistics of the matter, is that Grigs is again so wrong that if I had a means of dropping an SCT Logistics facility (as one mere example among many) in any capital city, comprising multiple warehouses full of everything from dunny roll to CV joints to dogfood, beer and Pepsi cans on its head, I would.
Fools being panicked by Grigs’ compadres among the media and bugman classes, combined with moronic transportation bureaucracies’ demands locally and internationally (e.g. You cannot move a single 20-foot container off the ports of Los Angeles or Long Beach unless you are unionised and your truck is less than 5 years old) and/or stevedore union fuckery in Oz because EBAs are still being negotiated, combined with China being dicks and hoarding every ISO container they can get, and Western corporates’ and merchants’ cultish devotion to just-in-time logistics, is what is causing shortages and inflations and so forth.
The loo paper folks never actually ran out in 2020- The previously well-tuned delivery systems of every retailer in the country shat themselves (deliberate choice of pun, Cats) because people did first, and panic-demand completely overwhelmed supply.
Fuck off and hoard your skinsuits somewhere else, Grigory.

In Rugby news I enjoyed reading today:
Israel Folau has dominated in his first game in his return to rugby in Japan’s League One, scoring two tries in Shining Arcs Tokyo-Bay Urayasu’s thrilling 24-23 win over Kobelco Kobe Steelers.
The 32-year old, who is hoping to return to international rugby for Tonga after World Rugby changed their eligibility laws in late 2021, took less than 15 minutes to announce his arrival in Japan, storming through opponents Kobe Steelers for Arcs’ first try of the match.
Ahh … back in Chelsea
Don’t jinx me Rex!. I should be too far south for snow, I plan to stick close to the Mediterranean for as long as possible before heading north to catch my plane home.
a non paywalled article, the tune re omicron has certainly changed dramatically since just before Christmas
Heehee! 😀
Is agreeing that omicron doesn’t attack the lungs an admission that delta and all the previous variants were all potentially life threatening illnesses that did, indeed, kill millions of people?
No.

1. Shut the borders.
2. Isolate the vulnerable.

Whoa there, Sancho. General discussion was about new legislation to stop internet ‘bullying’. If things get removed, then only screen shots can prove they were said.
My thoughts are totally against any censorship or litigation that is outside the bounds of existing defamation laws that apply already to comments made non-anonymously about real people. I made this anti-censorship view clear to Arky and it was one of the reasons I walked away from here a while ago. Then I had an email conversation with Arky and realised how messed up he was over the site, and advised a short break. I came in then and said I wanted to leave and asked people to be kind to Arky, due to my private consversation with him. We had both been deeply hurt here. It happens.
As Hairy says to me over my obsession with a range of internet reviews of ‘Succession’ characters.
It is what it is, he says of some of the psychologising Nothing is ever simple in human relationships.
Perhaps that is because, as Shakespeare suggested for Hamlet, we are God’s work.

Search string: hydroxychloroquine covid
Data range: 01/01/20-30/06/2020
975 articles on pubmed.
Undoubtedly many more studies, at least double because pubmed does not index all journals and the search string is restricted because they weren’t just looking at HCQ. Another problem is that it isn’t possible to set up a full study overnight, there can be many hurdles to even getting approval for a study so it can take months to get the ball rolling.
BTW the other day I read about the potential of hesperidin, a compound in citrus fruits, which offers some benefits re covid. I’ve known about the general health value of hesperidin which is why I like oranges and try to eat some of the pith. Pity about all the fructose.
I can understand that, liz. Threatening people on threads, pretending you own the site, choosing sides in stoushes… thought leadership is a tough gig. It drains you if you’re not careful.
Can a human absorb any hesperidin at all and doesn’t the pith contain an anti nutritive factor?
This segment has been brought to you by Sandvik 80 grit trade professional.
Has anyone done in depth research of nutrition of COVID patients and COVID deaths?
It would be fascinating stuff (yes I am a nerd).
Dickless uptick for JC
It’s not a colour revolution it’s an LPG revolution.
Price controls are always so much fun!
Until you can’t afford them.
Huge Arky fan here, so don’t get me wrong, I’m not bagging the guy.
But …
Arky always took what appeared to be the winning side in stoushes, earning him little respec’.
The hounds turned on him when he initiated his own stoush, which was no surprise, except perhaps to Arky.
“We had both been deeply hurt here”
Lizzie, Arky was more than capable of dishing it out here. He was no innocent. I remember the very nasty pile on he instigated of me back in March 2020. It lasted a whole afternoon….over a comment I wrote where I accurately described three women punching each other up over toilet paper at a Woolworths as “scum, peasants, trash”. He accused me of racism. I was deeply hurt by that. My comment had nothing to do with their race, it was about their behaviour.
Agreed, hence I fear that (to mangle a quote) The Victorian Government can remain irrational longer than I can remain solvent.
That got this lady in trouble. After which ever since she has being laying waste to the Cathedral.
Mainstream Media Is “Being Swallowed” By Joe Rogan (8 Jan)
He goes on. Interesting datum that Rogan gets as many views per show as the top four Fox shows combined. Suck on that Murdoch kiddies.
I don’t think people realise the level of mental illness in the US.
All you have to do to see it is watch Kitchen Nightmares & watch these restaurant owners serve up absolute abominations & then are shocked when Ramsay is critical.
The comments made by Arky on why comments were closed on his articles or why he might allow some where just nasty.
Jen Psaki denied U.S. involvement at a Presser the other day, without even being asked.
As Bismarck is quoted as saying:
Arky deleting comments and saying mean things is all water under the bridge. The poor bugger has had his house burned and lost all his beloved tools, and probably a whole lot more. He has absented himself from the blog for his own mental health, which I think is a wise choice.
Let it rest. Please.
The research undoubtedly exists. Largely hidden from the public and medical profession only thinks about those problematic vaccines. Shouldn’t be too hard to find. Can you use Google advanced search? (:

With omicron now dominant I’m not worried.
Be careful, people doing their own research have exposed themselves to risks because they filled themselves up with zinc and risked a copper deficiency, or took bucket loads of D without adding magnesium and K2 to the mix.
The Biden Administration really is in a bind over Russian.
Every day is one day closer to Nord Stream 2 opening.
Meaning every day is one day closer to less gas transiting the Ukraine.
Biden needs a stable client state Ukraine because if it falls apart they have no control over what could leak out of the place.
Hence the US interference in Kazakhstan to draw at least some Russian resources away from its western borders.
Fuck off, Grigory.
I’m sure the CIA is having a wonderful time in Kazakhstan. Which should nicely distract them from chasing old ladies with US flags in the States. But the reason the revolution has occurred is that the people are fed up with the wankers running the place (exhibit A: a Mr Nazarbayev) and they went nuts when the government lifted price controls on LPG last week, which tripled the cost of filling their cars. Not being a rich country that was a big pain in their pockets.
Then, of course the government did backflip and pike on the price controls., but by then it was too late. The Islamic kiddies are the wild card in this. If they can get a degree of momentum the whole thing could become quite interesting. Afghanistan is only over on the other side of neighbouring Uzbekistan, with porous borders, it would be a quick drive for unemployed ferals to get to the action.
More power to Rogan. He is an adventurous and intelligent chap that deserves his success. I disagree with him about “functional training” with kettle bells. Untrained people taking that up are going to get injured.

Cassie says:
1. your comment was a cheap shot at the aboriginal woman who had a trolley full of toilet paper.
She was attacked by 2 polynesian women who claimed the right to take her shopping.
So she did nothing wrong.
2. Arky arced up over your calling the polynesian women trash & etc., because kiwis suffer Stockholm Syndrome and tell themselves that polynesians are like their cuddly pets.
Here’s a few facts for you:
Toilet paper is an hygienic necessity.We’ve got a Supply Chain crisis now, the shelves are bare of paper products because many of the factories have shut down.
If some witches bail you up in the supermarket and try to take your shopping because there’s none left, are you going to hand it over?
I thought they were hilarious. Good for him.
“1. your comment was a cheap shot at the aboriginal woman who had a trolley full of toilet paper.
She was attacked by 2 polynesian women who claimed the right to take her shopping.
So she did nothing wrong.”
Listen Dick Ed. There was no aboriginal woman involved and there were no Polynesian women involved. Now fuck .
Now fuck off Dick Ed.
There were dozens of posts about various toilet paper videos.
Arky thought it would great fun to focus only on Cassie’s comment to the exclusion of all others.
Which he did all day.
Pure bullying behaviour.
Bruce says:
You’re confusing the CIA with the FBI, Bruce.
Which is why the Government issued Shoot To Kill orders, Bruce.

People have such short memories.
How few people remember the IPA & Tim Wilson’s campaign to stop raising the status of local councils a few years back.

It was one of the only decent things the IPA did during the last decade.
Ta for that link to applicant submissions for Novak. Very enlightening in a number of ways, the tennis Australia rep who signed off on the exemption was named, the Vic government one not so but they did put his credentials up. A search of the net though had only had 1 person with the title and specialisation but no surprise his background is supressed unless you are a Linkedin member which I aren’t. I’d say I might be over target there. All I’ll have to say if him, he has extensive research in infectious diseases so seems sound.
Going on a limb here, looking more and more political and probably being driven from the PM’s office knee jerking to the negative sentiment. FFS even I can work out if you are going to go after someone who will stand their ground dot every i and cross every t. My guess is they never expected him to fight.

Yep…they’re usually all talk and no action…..maybe with Roskam gone they might just find some spine.

Once the resourcing stops, that one small group will fade away.

There’s just a faint glimmer of hope that the Djoker affair may lead to the resignation of Scumo for pressuring officials.
I also recall you being less than pleasant to charming contributor Ellie on Old Catallaxy.
More than a few White Knights joined the Pile On too, a bigger deal than Arky accusing you of Racism, i’d say?
She’ll never fuck you bro.
Largely hypothetical but I am banned from the local pub here in Perth. Back to drinking in the ghetto for me. I fully expect to be banned from the cafe too at some stage this year too.
I might start work on a diary.
Grigory, I operate 130-odd tonne pieces of hardware that, under dynamic braking can generate sufficient retarding force to slow a trailing load of 2500 tons of assorted solid and liquid masses from 110km/h to walking pace on a steep downhill grade within a few minutes.
Your retardation could bring a fully loaded 30,000 tonne iron ore train AND all 3 of its powering locos to a complete halt from 80km/h in a single sentence.

So there’s no limit to how many people an Islamic State terrorist can kill without being shot dead, in your opinion, since he must always have the opportunity to repent?

No doubt Langley thinks that too. It’s fun to watch this stuff and imagine what is going on in the corridors of the alphabet agencies.

Zinc deficiency is endemic to all people who don’t eat Red Meat as the main part of their diet, which is nearly everybody.
In both cases, the Official Story is BullShit
The entire Official Story of Hitler’s last days in the Bunker was written by Hugh Trevor -Roper from the account told to him by eyewitness and Test Pilot Hannah Ritsch.
Ritsch was the only person there to survive the War and she later denounced Trevor-Roper’s account as lies.
I wasn’t being funny. I was being truthful.
Inductive reasoning tells me that any reactance to the borg will result in considerable impedance to current progress!

In any case, Trevor Ropers accounts of Hitler’s last days came from interviews with Hannah Ritsch, there’s never been any dispute over that.
Ritsch agreed with Trevor-Roper’s history in general, but she said that he lied about the specifics.
I could say the same about your comments, and i’d be right.
Bong John,
I know you can do words and you can have a decent shot at facts too (as long as you can get get run up) , but seriously unless you’ve worked on a building site then leave badinage to the experts.

He’s so cute when he projects, isn’t he? 🙂
Traudl Junge, Yitlah’s private secretary was in his ‘inner circle’ for years, including at conferences, meetings etc with the rest of those dickheads.
She volunteered to stay with him after most of his admin staff were bundled off south of Berlin as Konev and Zhukov’s armies were breaking into its suburbs. She watched him and Eva Braun walk into his office for the last time, heard the shot and also watched him being carried out and into the garden outside the bunker, where Hitler and his misso were set alight.
She found her way to what would become one of the non-Soviet zones, was quite talkative to a lot of interested people and ended up with decent speaking roles in several WWII docos in the late 1970s.
Sal, wasn’t Trevor -Roper one of the historians who came unstuck over whether the “Hitler Diaries” were authentic?
I have worked on a building site. Not for long, just to earn some quick bucks during the break. Worst day was in the Qld December summer removing all the rubbish from the rooftop of a partially burnt shopping centre complex.
You aint no expert at humour. Too repetitive. Try something different.
Also, Hannah Ritsch the ladeeeee test pilot was a fervent, devoted Nazi.
Of course she would lie her goose-stepping box off if anyone was critical of Hoitlah. It would ruin the noble ‘dying at the head of his troops in the final victory over Bolshevism’ thing he had going at the end.
Why ask Sal?
Trevor-Roper was hoaxed on the Hitler Diaries, simple as that.
His Histories were sound, but Hannah Ritsch was his only informant on Hitler’s last days and she said that he lied about what she had told him.
Someone needs to do a Downfall rant starring Grigs as Adolf, raging about who’s been lying about his bunker.
In his bunker…
Heheh.
Grigs backpedalling and redirecting his gypsum-fuelled wrongology in a frantic (and futile) effort to stave off yet another self-inflicted beclownment.
If I didn’t enjoy my job so much, I’d smile at his failures all the way back to Perth tomorrow instead… 🙂
Looking her up on the internet, it seems she lived, very quietly, in Australia for a couple of years…
Hannah Ritsch,was also World Glider Champion several times and also the first person to fly a helicopter indoors, which she demonstrated to some skeptical American Businessmen in the 1930s
There’s a great photo of Hannah Ritsch and a group of female helicopter pilots honoured by JFK at the White House in 1961.
The Sun’s Benefits Are Way More than Vitamin D
While I am no fan of this channel he makes some good points in this video. The infra red idea is very interesting. There is evidence that near infra red therapy has many therapeutic benefits. More broadly only last night I read the below.
Keep in mind this article is from Sweden. Not entirely applicable to Aus but I still think we could ease up on the sun phobia message.
On the Relationship Between Sun Exposure and All-Cause Mortality
Increasing sun exposure is related to lower prevalence of death in cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, and other noncancer non-CVD. In this chapter we aim to make a short update on the knowledge regarding sun exposure and all-cause mortality. Data support the hypothesis that low sun exposure habits are a major risk factor for all-cause mortality. Low sun exposure is related to an increased risk of death due to CVD and noncancer/non-CVD, and a minor reduction in risk of cancer. Active sun exposure habits have a dual effect; it increases the incidence of skin cancer, but also improves the prognosis in terms of all-cause mortality. In a low solar intensity region, we should carefully assess both risk and benefits of sun exposure in order to obtain balanced recommendations.

I can’t recall the name of the restaurant but the maitre d’ was a hilarious bozo. We scored a table outside as I guess, we passed muster, but just. A short and slightly overweight American couple show up and he literally couldn’t even look at them. He was so disgusted that when he spoke he’d look at them from the side. He finally allowed them to sit, but I heard them ask for a table outside and he nodded his head and told them curtly there was only room for them inside. Later on, I went to go the toilet and they were in a empty area on their own. A gorgeous gal goes to him for a table and he’s all over her. Naturally she and her pals get a table outside. They had a fabulous pasta dish.
Ah yes.

It was in a sausage and I held out no hopes for it’s recovery.
I think you meant goat tentacles Sancho.
Horses have no affection whatsoever for their slaves (“owners”).
Eat them. Cows have more sentience.
I agree JC.
I love Hungary, but they also love ponies.
On a plate.
A bridge too far for me.
Well this explains why, Mr. ‘Invest, Invest In Biotech,’ JC puts so much venom into libelling Mr. ‘I Sue Pharmaceutical Companies For A Living’, Kennedy –

I thought it was Chinese and other Asians that ate dog, but not so.
Not content to steal Jewish money hidden from the nazis, they also dog.
The only honourable meat to eat is something which you have kill yourself.
In the bullring with cape, very tight pants and sword.
Mostly sword.
Yum!
Never had a problem with horse meat, but the eating of sheep is a disgusting habit, with no hope of redemption.

Horses are the most beautiful, svelte creatures on earth. It’s a major sin to eat the fuckers. God would be really pissed if you barbecued a hind leg.
It helps if you spell the woman’s name correctly, Grigory.
Hanna Reitsch was the renowned German lady test pilot, who flew the Focke-Achgelis Fa.61 within the confines of the Berlin Deutchslandhalle during the 1938 International Automobile Exhibition.
Not for the benefit of some ‘skeptical American businessmen,’ troll. A propagandistic showing-off of German aeronautical engineering, in the same vein that the Kim family in North Korea and Chairman Winnie Xi Pooh like to paint up their nuclear missile transporter-erector-launchers and parade them thru town.
Hanna Ritsch is likely any number of German women, or most probably a figment of Grigory’s fevered imagination.
Or maybe boar you kill yourself.
With the bare hands.
(Bare hands holding the 12 gauge).
Now I wanna visit IKEA again… 🙂

Is there nothing a Sancho can’t do.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a bull fight but have never been in Spain during bull fight season.

You don’t need to go to Spain for that, Rosie.
Just sneakily drop your second-string stud or rodeo animal (preferably Brahman- Those things are mean)* in with your neighbour’s prize stud bull when the cows are in season. Then sit back with popcorn. From a distance outside rifle-calibre range, of course…
*Be sure to remove all eartags and distinguishing markings first.
JC might want to look into that Japanese team doing outstanding work with stem cells. Already trialed for vision with limited success but for a blind person even a minute recovery of vision is a huge plus. If they get the stem cell technology right for Parkinson’s, and they are working very hard on that, it will be a huge win. But JC is probably already knows about them.
Alterntely, you might find you have accidentally gifted your neighbour some useful genetics should the bulls not give a shit about each other…
#DidNotThinkThisThrough
I can’t blame the fucker. In fact I support him.
Get a load of these morons
Sounds like a tunofun Rex.
You will need a 12 gauge, if you want to deal with the boar with the bare hands…
There’s an old joke about an English tourist in Spain, who orders the “dish of machismo” from the menu – the grilled testicles of a bull, killed that day, in the arena. When the testicles are served, they are of no great size.
Questioning this fact, said tourist is advised by the waiter “It is regrettable, Senor, but the bull is not always the loser…”
We saw a bullfight in Spain in the ’90’s (which is hardly surprising as I am Spanish).
It is a lot longer than any brief film clip will lead you to believe.
I commentated for Mrs Panzer in Bruce McAvaney style, and invented quite a lot of statistics and nomenclature (the guys on horses were called “horsadors” and the guys who put the sharp sticks into the shoulders of the bull were called “stickadors”).
Stickadors were the bravest.
The bull is still pretty up for the fight. They run at it but kind of diverge to one side, and then jump past the bull’s head and insert the sticks in the upper neck/shoulder.
Crazy.
I remember this much.
The first matador took a few attempts to drop the bull.
Muted crowd reception. Golf clap.
The second matador dropped his with one stroke.
Crowd went nuts.
A lot of locals there. Not just tourists.
This was in Seville.
Brutal.
But unforgettable.
This is actually true.
We missed the bullfight in Madrid.
I asked the girl at reception if there was a bullfight on that night.
“Sorry, no” she says. “It was last night”
“Oh? Who won?”
Pause.
“Sir. I thin the bull … he is never win.”
Hmmm… Svelte…
I think this one may be one of those instances like when Sal (or is it cohenite) and JC have major tete a tetes over who is the prettier screen siren out of Sophia Loren or Monica Belluci.
I’d make further quips on the matter, but I would prefer not to get horsewhipped. So I’ll hoof it for now…

Now, that is getting your beef served rare.
It’s lunacy on a grand scale.

Some legitimate questions about these vaccines morphs into mistrust of all medical advances which have saved and/or improved billions of lives.
The minor Kennedy is a grifter and an opportunist, chiseling a living out of ambulance chaser lawsuits, and now sees the opportunity to increase his revenue base off the back of this pandemic.
But he’s Teddy’s nephew, so …
How much coke do you reckon they gave the bull?
In future I shall refrain from interruption.
Please be advised I am not a windmill.

Clearly we have to catch omicron as soon as we can. This is an order coming straight from the top!
Also, Dave, mate, how’s those jabs workin’ for ya?
Do not ask what your country can do for Omicron. Ask what Omicron can do for your country.
Waiting for museo crypt to open at 16.00.
And sancho insisted siesta was Spanish. Though Sardinia was Spanish territory for four hundred years so I guess that’s an excuse.
I enjoyed the bullfighting antidotes.
Not sure if I’m going to get to Spain as planned. They were insisting on rapido tamponis from Italy and I’m reluctant.

Oh, Mrs Faulty.
Water is wet, days end in ‘Y’ and politicians are all allegedly (until conclusively proven or proven otherwise) corrupt and profiteering gangsters.
Also- Red Shoes are a bugger of a thing to keep clean and well-polished. Unless you are a gorgeous young female with excellent taste in Doc Martens or Vans, avoid at all costs.
Especially at election time…
What is ‘soft-soaping’?
Australia’s Governor-General David Hurley has contracted COVID-19.
When is COVID going to do its job properly and start killing some of our corrupt elite?!

Hey Sancho, surprise!
JC, take a liver pill. You’re choleric. Doubtless feeling drained, I’d say.
For the record: I have never threatened anyone on threads. I don’t pretend to own this site. I don’t ‘choose sides’ in stouches and that’s because I think ‘stouches’ are stupid, (especially your ongoing late nite hatreds, which till this moment I have never criticised you for, although they deserve some scorn for being senseless bullying, something that pulls this site down). Basically, JC, I like you and enjoy your capacity here to deflect hardball against yourself, to piss off the tall-poppy choppers, and to throw juicy pieces of meat to some of the hounds. But you are a man, and I am not. Thus the playing field is different. I simply protect my own opinions, which I have every right to hold and express, and as for ‘thought leadership’, that’s just sheer bullshit which can be levelled against anyone who says anything serious here.
The main issue for me in particular and the site in general is bullying, of the genuine sort not the leftist version. I hope that at its extremes it is now ended here. It can wreck lives that are under stress; note too that Arky also lost his beloved A Model in his house fire.
Cassie can recall, rightly, one nasty pile-on she has experienced here and which still hurts and stings her. I sympathise, because that’s what pile-ons do. I have received more pile-ons here than I can count, largely because tall poppy syndrome is alive and well amongst the envious and apparently I am this sort of poppy to some, or a good substitute for those feeling nippy. If I ever fight, it has been in protection of myself from wild and unwarranted attacks that often stem from fake memes about me. Everyone talks of their own life and journey here, btw. The ‘me’ meme is fruitcake stuff, similar to the ‘thought leader’ slur. Just another mode of pile-on.
I believe the correct spelling might be ‘stoushes’. Can’t start a row over that. 🙂
“General discussion” my ass, L. Sinc set numerwang strait when he played the same card.
Similar experience for us at a Seville bullfight, Sancho. I wrote about it here in one of the travelogues I used to make. Nearest thing to ever comprehending what it was like to be present in the Roman Coloseum on killing days as most of the crowd were locals enjoying a pleasant afternoon on a Saturday. There is a gruesome ritual to it all. British tourist guy in front of us stood up after the second kill of the day, declared that he’d had enough of this, and departed.
Fighting the bull must be a hangover from one of the oldest of human concerns in Europe: viz the cave Temples of the Bull in Lascaux during the last Ice Age. In a sense, I can see what Hemingway saw in it.
As the pundits online note, the TV series ‘Succession’ reprises some moments from American dynastic family histories. In one scene, Kendall, the heir apparent, cruels his pitch completely in a repeat of Teddy Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick car crash with Mary Jo Kopechne left to drown. And that is still such a piece of cultural literacy that I didn’t need to check the spelling on either of those two names.
Teddy, like Kendall, was protected from all charges by his familial name.
LOL!
