Colonel Crispy..
This season the southern male magpie arrived one day. He wanted to add to his load before taking it all back to the nest. He had a line of fat juicy maggots in his beak. They were wiggling futilely. So I gave him a shred of mince, which he added to the front of the queue then he flew off. I don’t get many flies! Nor mozzies, since the noisy miners seem to hoover them up.
On the other hand none of them seem to like mature flies. Whether it’s because they taste bad or are too much effort to catch I don’t know.
ah… so the poll bludger comes clean on his poll blog:
It’s been bizarre to watch the the love triangle between Israel, Turkey & the Saudi’s over the past 6 months.
They are projecting a united front against the Obama/Rhodes policy of letting Iran back into the global community with minimal strings attached.
In fact, the only real sticking point has been the US putting its foot down over a trade corridor between Iran & Russia.
As I said, bizarre.
Was this what BLM was really about?
Just to show you what sort of gutless fucks many of you are here, this little statement by choo choo is complete bullshit…lies……and it’s let go straight through to the keeper.

Go to Israel Rosie – amazing place! Jerusalem at night is in stark contrast to Australian cities. Just like Europe: Grandparents, parents, kids, grandkids all walking out on the streets at 11pm coming home or going out for dinner…
And don’t be discouraged by the four hour line to see Christ’s tomb or the many MANY signs on the skirts of Jerusalem that say “it is forbidden and dangerous for Israeli citizens to pass this point.” Given the slums beyond that point, I can see why… although the Arabs are going traders/dealers…
I went into one catholic shop ran by an Arab in Bethlehem for pilgrims to buy things; as soon as I walked in I saw a freaking MASSIVE paining of George Pell. Arab guy says “he my friend! always bring customer and very nice. Victoria very bad.”

You’ll probably find all those critters are haram in some way, so it’s an extra measure of ensuring appropriate religious revulsion.
Dolphins are arseholes, anyway. So they probably deserve it…
@ Duncanm-
Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) as pioneered with the Russian kontakt system in the late 70s and early 80s, as spaced armour (air gaps between plates) wasn’t quite doing it as a complete solution to the proliferation of shaped-charge and high explosive squash-head munitions.
The Russians went quite heavily for it as an easy upgrade to existing designs, while NATO went for composite armour research quite hard in the same era. This resulted in ‘Chobham’ armour, a (still secret) mix of multiple layers of steel, ceramics and other materials. The US enhanced this in the late 90s and early 2000s with depleted uranium inserts (hyper-dense material). It has been supplanted by the improved ‘Dorchester’ composite plate on Chally 2, later Leopard 2 models and the M1A2 and subsequent variants. I think the Merkavas have similar materials available to them as well.
The response to the effectiveness of the composite armour, based on combat results for Western and Israeli armour from 1991 thru 2003, the challenges of overcoming ERA tiles on Russian designs at the same time (often devolving into simultaneous massed strikes of 15+ RPG warheads onto a single area of the tank at a time to detonate all the plates and try to get some penetrations), and the proliferation of WW2-vintage bar armour as a response to insurgents and low tech-base militaries relying heavily on RPGs and recoilless rifles firing HEAT, weapons designers turned to tandem charges- 2 HEAT charges set up so that the first might set off any ERA tiles, get through any spaced armour plates or at least start to bore through the composite Chobham plates. The second could then theoretically achieve full penetration and destroy the tank.
The tandem charge alone cannot quite do the job- I am aware of mobility kills inflicted by RPG-29 Vampire tandem charge warheads on a Chally 2 in Basra in 2003 (These weapons had only just been developed and were barely in regular Russian service at the time), and several on M1A1s and A2s during the subsequent insurgency era. None of them outright destroyed the tanks, and all were recovered and soon repaired.
Another example comes from Israel vs. Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006- An Israeli armoured Squadron of 20 or so Merkava IVs was caught in a narrow wadi and subjected to some 50+ AT-14 Kornet guided ATGM launches. Both systems are contemporaries of each other, and still quite modern for 2022.
Of all these vehicles, 11 sustained hits and 3 were penetrated for about 4 deaths. No catastrophic kills were sustained, despite the launchers being able to fire down onto the armour and its thinner top plating.
The next step has been to add top attack capability- The Javelin and Eryx missiles have big tandem charge warheads and fly a ballistic arc to hit the thinner roof plating of tanks. This is where the ‘cope cage’ meme comes from- Russian armour crews welding bar armour slats onto the turret roofs of their vehicles as an attempt to premature detonate Javelins and equivalent.

It’s actually hysterically funny. A lover’s triangle. 🙂
I’m kinda stomped as years ago, I would have guessed Israel would have been Iran’s natural partner over time. I suppose the nukes are the really big issue for them.

The one thing I still don’t get is the “politics” of Jerusalem as far as sacred sites are concerned. Some are run by the Catholic Church as it was the Jesuits who went and restored many of these places but, wars, crusades, Islam etc.. shook it all up. Golgotha and the tomb are ran by the Greek Orthodox and they’re quite happy for us to all line up for hours on end but at night they have “Special Passes” for their congregation… similar in some other sites too.
Moon howling again I see.
In fact Struth, since you know soooooo much more about how WA’s initial response to the Coof was handled, go ahead and show me how my recollections, as someone who worked all his way through 2020 and into 2021 as a general shop hand in a Light Engineering firm in Kewdale, is somehow wrong.

The Greek Orthodox church owns a lot of the land in Jerusalem as well as around the city. They also own the land that the Knesset is on.

Ewww.
I thought you were from the Panzers of Toorak clan.
They’ve spent all their time to date around Arabs.
Arabs talk a big game and are vicious when they want to be, but respect power. And they have been slapped back into timeout corner regularly enough that sabre rattling is plenty OK. And they are also pragmatists at heart, once said rhetoric has been put out.
The Persians, on the other hand are a different beast. They have decided they have a manifest religious destiny, and are far enough away from Israeli retaliation to feel they can prod and antagonise thru proxies and long-range nuke threats without much consequence. Also, in the natural waxing and waning of political factions, the Shia are presently in the ascendant.
Practically all Israel’s neighbours are Sunni Arab, not Shia Persian.

The interesting thing though is that she had all the papers and bullshit in order to enter ( the US wants a signed attestation form now) but they only looked at her passport and didn’t request any supporting docs like covid certificate thing etc. Just went through. Either they don’t give a rats anymore, too short staffed or they’re sampling.

This is 2.5x what you would expect if the vaccines did absolutely nothing at all, and is in totally the opposite direction to what you’d expect if the vaccines had an injurious effect.
The unvaccinated are dying, and the vaccinated are dying at a lower rate because they got vaccinated. That’s by the numbers, not by elephant pictures.

It was a decent series.
But what chance of a fair trial.

Crazy how he gets a bench trial but Pell wasn’t able to (yes I know it’s different jurisdictions).

Lysander, the worker is worthy of his wage. All of it was arranged for us, all we did was show up.
And I’m absolutely sure I would not go to some of the places we went to in Cairo on our own. That said, we could have been duchessed around Israel by extended family, but it seemed an imposition at the time. Wadi Rhum, not so much.
Dan Andrews might be a useless leader, an awful person and far too physically resilient and assassination-proof for our own good, but at least he made sure all his birds’ batteries in Victoria were completely replaced…

Nah, I have always felt safe in Israel. Even if and when the Muzzos get a bit stabby, the IDF deploy soldiers on every corner. Where you need to join a tour is when you go to the territories. Even then, you need your wits about you. The only time I felt unsafe was at the completion of a tour to Bethlehem and we all got back on the bus. At that point the driver got out …WTF … turns out he was only having a durry but we didn’t hang around in the bus to wait for him.

As I say, apart from a couple who wanted to use it to spend more time with their Jason Recliner, no real problems.

Maybe that might suit me better.

Yes the Bethlehem stop is interesting. We had an ex IDF guide the whole way round. He appeared to know his stuff. We also had an armed chaperone in Cairo.

That’s not to say it wasn’t shit. Because it was most certainly shit.
To be clear: It was shit, and from my perspective at least will never, ever be forgotten, let alone forgiven.
But – it was most certainly not the final stage of a worldwide conspiracy, its hour come round at last, slouching towards Bethlehem to be born*.

Sancho, wouldn’t be too perturbed. I had a lot of fun in Geelong in ’90’s and didn’t think it was that bad. At least you don’t have Liverpool NSW on your birth cert in a couple of places… However even those from our lot who started with nothing have done well from the same areas as Latho was kicking about, so I don’t subscribe to the poor me schtick.

They must feel enough time has passed to try to make people forget what their parties have done to this nation.
Not only are they insulting your intelligence, but they feel they can get away with it, because even if you disagree, you won’t say anything.
And though they’ve been wrong about everything in the last two years, it looks like they are right about that.
Now, back to Tank turrets and muzzle velocities as the government wants.
SFW knows and spoke up, but the rest are pathetic.
I have some doubts about any statistics from a Govt which has previously inflated covid death numbers by deliberately including deaths with covid as well as from covid.
Why wouldn’t they falsely inflate the numbers of un-“vaccinated” deaths?
Also, what are they using to decide what killed those people – the PCR test that the CDC admitted couldn’t differentiate between the flu and covid?

He played a few games for Newtown in 1971, that’s it.
He and his twin brother and their wives did feature in an episode of Checkerboard around 1974, so you could say he was a TV Star too.

The US is apparently sending US$33 billion of military equipment over to Uke. That’s a pretty decent sized nut. If Americans thought the Ukes were going to lose they would be sending over $3 billion with a note saying:
This may imply (imply as in not sure) that the American military establishment may be thinking the Ukes could win this and fuck over the Russian military. Just a hunch though.

Colonel, the problem with your stats is that they are anything but clear.
Quoting:
Six people aged under 65 years died with COVID-19. Of these, one was unvaccinated, one had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, three had received two doses and one had received three doses. All had significant underlying health conditions that increase the risk of severe disease from COVID-19.
• Reported deaths were classified as COVID-19 deaths if they met the surveillance definition in the
Communicable Diseases Network of Australia’s COVID-19 National Guidelines for Public Heath Units. Under this definition, deaths are considered COVID-19 deaths for surveillance purposes if the person died with COVID-19, not necessarily because COVID-19 was the cause of death. Deaths may be excluded if there was a clear alternative cause of death that was unrelated to COVID-19 (e.g. major trauma).
You would be hard put to suggest any of these actually died merely because of Covid.
There is no study of the danger of death from vaccine in this report – they are not looking for this at all.
I think that the safest deduction is the Omicron has reduced any real danger to background levels that we were all once quite comfortable with. So it is essentially virus porn now.
And it is very safe to say the long term effects of the vaccines are entirely unknown.
It’s funny Lysander.
Dad’s family had a few St Pats & Marist Strathfield types but my GF was a chippy by trade. GM a seamstress but they sacrificed. My mums family not so lucky, none of them had private school education and yea I spent a bit of time in places like Green Valley, Bradbury, Campbelltown and Airds as a kid visiting relatives. Some of my cousins from said areas now own their own companies and are the salt of the earth. Sorry if I ramble but I smell BS every time these clowns pull the disadvantaged background.

My guess is they did the proper checks a couple of times. Created the mother of all paperwork and diplomatic messes. Let’s just stay in our lane and just do what we did before.
I can’t believe we haven’t seen or heard from the ex Mrs Albo.

It could be that they’re trusting electronic confo from the Aussies when she left.. perhaps, and do spot sampling to confirm compliance.

It’s the Labor Way.
25% of people who died with Covid in NSW hospitals in mid April were unvaccinated.remembering this includes people too sick or with significant medical conditions which meant they couldnt get a vaccination as well.
Doesnt change the main core issue.
People have been forced to undergo a medical procedure under directions from a government using emergency powers to make it legal.
That they ‘second handed” the enforcement to businesses is irrelevant.
That they violated one of the most basic tenets of medicine – no treatment without consent- is entirely the issue for me.

Qantas has put in a huge order with Airbus focused around the Dreamliner competitor – Airbus’s A350-1000 .
Got the same e-mail. Interesting. As much as Boeing has it’s issues I still have reservations about Airbus computers overriding pilots. Read QF72 recently and know of other incidents where the computer did something unexpected in Airbus planes. Fortunately those have been very small in number and Boeing seemed to have dropped the ball totally with the B787 battery issues & B737 Max.
IMO though the B787 is a good aircraft, passenger comfort wise anyway. I have flown in them a few times and they seem to have sorted the batteries catching fire.
local oaf says: May 2, 2022 at 5:09 pm
Yep, absolutely.
Brian says: May 2, 2022 at 5:26 pm
Yes, absolutely. And to make that distinction in cause of death has never been standard practice, because whatever illness showed up in the last 5 minutes of life and finished off an already sickly person is what will be listed as the singular cause of death, and every other co-mobidity will be listed as just that. I think that’s kinda misleading too, but it is the standard.
That conclusion is a non-sequitur, it does not follow that because they are not looking for dangers of vaccines that therefore there isn’t any in the NSW Health report. There is some evidence of the non-danger of death from the vaccine in that report, which is the way the vaccinated are dying in ICUs at a rate less than the vaccination rate of the general population. Comparing 75% deadies to the 90% vaccination rate of the State, you could not conclude that 83% of jabbed people die from it because that would imply *millions* of deaths in NSW alone, which obviously did not happen. You might like to speculate what % of jabs will kill the jabbee and spread over what timeframe in order for your predicted rate of jab deaths to be compatible with the known fatalities in that report.
As shady and suspicious as the source of figures may be, surely you must admit that debating with figures is a huge upgrade from arguing with elephant pictures.
If there were any exemptions to the blanket rule (and there were, otherwise the Great State of Queensland would have collapsed) and folks could still go to work, albeit stabbed, then Struth’s ambit that everyone was ordered to ‘give up’ their jobs as a blanket order everywhere in Australia is utterly false.
Points and much respect to you for daring to check, where Struth can only escalate… 🙂

I seem to remember reading that one of the early Dutch/British/French accounts of landing in Australia mentioned the superabundance of flies.
In my experience the introduction of dung beetles seems to have had little effect on the fly population.
Hence the most plausible theory is that the little bastards are in fact immortal.

The ‘mate’ debate: Why our beloved appellation must be cherished
Peter FitzSimons
So-called “political correctness”? I am all for it.
And yes, of course, various commentators like to endlessly rant about the ills of “PC” and being “woke”, shrieking against a concept that is no more complicated than insisting we should all treat each other with respect*. All of that, however, is just a bonus, something guaranteed to provide great amusement on an otherwise dull day. Give me a dollar for every time a dinosaur with no clue the world has changed rants that something is “political correctness gone mad” and the Milky Bars will be on me forever more!
Just very occasionally, however, the worthy advocates of PC really do go a bit too far. A case in point happened last week when ministers and chiefs of staff of the NSW government were obliged to do a two-and-a-half course entitled “Respect at Work”. While much of the course made sense – don’t get drunk, don’t yell at people, always try to allow for cultural differences in your staff, don’t presume genders or sexualities**, etc – the consultant delivering the course lost a lot of them, including the premier, when she warned against the use of the word “mate”.
* Or be sacked, imprisoned, fined or run through a kangaroo court human rights mob
** hear that, thats the sound of an overton window shifting. Put in 2 things which are unremarkable and add a bit of crazy shit on the end as though they are the same.

Tara Higginson pulls no punches when asked what will happen if interest rates rise on Tuesday, off the back of soaring inflation.
“I’m up shit creek”, says the single mother of four who, in the midst of the pandemic, took out an interest-only variable loan of $510,000 – more than six times her income.
Maybe the ex Missus Albo gets together with the ex Mrs Burke and the ex Mrs Shorten…and talks about how sweet it would be to be an ex Mrs Hawke or Keating, instead of a frontbencher’s cast-off.

It must be a nightmare being a dictator. Imagine the risks. Every time someone comes in where you are you’d be wondering if he’s packing.

Chris Dawson started playing league for Newtown after “defecting” from rugby one year after you called it. 1972.
He went on to play for the Newtown Jets for 5 years.
He was in Jack Gibson’s 1973 Wills Cup winning squad (although not the game day run-on side) which also won that year’s NSW RL club championship.
Easy to attach the word “star” to that success, longevity, and media attraction with his twin, Paul.
Outstanding analogy. Explains a lot.

The tatts are money well spent. Can’t repossess those.
Imagine getting an interest only loan when your only upfront commitment was $20,000 out of your super account.
Most likely a bank complaint for giving the loan in the first place will get someone off the hook.

This applies to many things.
“Our starting point has to be that we respect China and deeply value our relationship with China. We must seek to build it. And not just in economic terms, but also through exploring political co-operation and even defence co-operation. To define China as an enemy is a profound mistake. To talk of a new Cold War is silly and ignorant.”

Eggs are going up here in the UK, and especially so is chicken meat.
Due to the price of Ukrainian grain on which they are fed.
There is also a shortage of HRT for menopausal women. As with many things medical, there has been a complete back flip on the use of HRT now, and it is said to improve mental agility, dismiss Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases, improve body strength and skin tone etc. I could have told them that. I still use it and take the benefits gratefully. Nothing wrong with looking 60 when you are 80 (more or less).
Just for info here for Struth re my howling whoredom, we decided to stay in the UK for this holiday early on as we have rellies here, and then as a bonus Boris lifted all restrictions. We can’t be bothered travelling elsewhere while the Covid panic has not yet sorted itself out internationally. There’s such a lot to see in the UK anyway.
Hairy’s College friend the other nite is taking in Ukrainian refugees into his large London house, and is collecting funds to send protective gear and ammunition to Poland for transfer by friends to Ukrainian fighters. He showed us pics of his guys in Ukraine wearing his gear. He discussed with us his idea of a media stunt taking a red London bus to Poland to pick up refugees – his wife dissuaded him from carrying out this particular plan. He is an interesting man of many talents though. The sense of that war being much closer here is palpable.
Not on the A350-1000, but on the smaller A350-900 all the way from Melbourne to New York City with Qatar Airways. Qatar has bought up big with the A350, including the -1000 version (19 copies versus 12 for Qantas).
The A350 is a beautiful aeroplane, far better than than the shitbucket Boeing Dreamliner 787 with its narrower seats — about two inches skinnier in economy versus the Airbus.
The new QF non-stops from MEL and SYD to JFK and LHR will be a huge hit with business travellers, saving 2-4 hours each way. The only faster plane is the B747, which can also do the trip weight-restricted, but Boeing has basically given up on because accountants like the 787 better.

How does the virus evolve inside an infected person – we commence this story with a new demonstration in a vaccinated patient, and relapse to a well-documented history in COVID-19 patients, and how antibodies can be contributing to such viral evolution. This also leads us to a hypothesis as to why evolving variants might show up in wastewater prior to taking over a population. We conclude with how the BA2 variant of the Omicron is different from the BA1 variant, demonstrating continuous uninterrupted evolution of the virus.
Also, are they still showing people in the first two weeks after vaccination as “unvaccinated”, thus including vaccine injuries in the unvaccinated numbers?
Remarkable bullshit in the face facts.
VIC Chief Health Dissembler Brett Sutton was on ABC radio the other day saying the vaccines “weren’t as good as we would have hoped” but were “extraordinarily good at reducing hospitalisation and death.”
Australia has had over twice the number of deaths this year as for the entire pandemic, despite vaccination rates that are rarely bettered in any other country.
By what measure are vaccines reducing deaths?
Noam Chomsky: Trump the ‘One Western Statesman of Stature’ Pushing Peace in Ukraine
Famed leftist MIT professor Noam Chomsky has credited former President Donald Trump for being one of the few prominent statesmen in the West actively pushing for peace in Ukraine as opposed to escalating war with Russia.
Though Chomsky called the former president a dangerous figure for a host of reasons during a recent virtual interview, he did admit that Trump has proposed practical, peaceful solutions to ending the war in Ukraine. Chomsky said:
Well, there is, fortunately, one statesman in the United States and Europe, a high political figure, who has made a very sensible statement about how you can solve the crisis. Namely, by facilitating negotiations instead of undermining them and moving toward establishing some kind of accommodation in Europe, in which there are no military alliances, but just mutual accommodation.
Move towards negotiations and diplomacy instead of escalating the war. Try to see if we can bring about accommodation, which would be roughly along these lines.
His name is Donald J. Trump
Hairy’s College friend the other nite is taking in Ukrainian refugees into his large London house, and is collecting funds to send protective gear and ammunition to Poland for transfer by friends to Ukrainian fighters. He showed us pics of his guys in Ukraine wearing his gear.
Wonder what he’ll think when a picture of his Uke buddies turns up committing a war crime “wearing his gear”.
One very important thing to surface in the WZV debacle is the people who have rushed to the petite fascist train on their way to power.
Instructive, n’est pas?
Artillery shells not going off? No problem, fire more shells to get the desired number exploding on target. This calculation is also used with ICBM’s. You don’t think that a bunch of ICBM’s fired off after sitting in silos for years, are all going to work do you, considering the love and care that is lavished on launch vehicles which still sometimes fail? Why you also send more than one missile to a target when you really care.
I was introduced to the military way of thinking many years ago when I was a civilian weatherman on a RAAF base. One morning the SAS were going to jump out of a C-130 and this SAS Sergeant kept coming into the office wanting to know if the wind on the ground was going to be more than 12 knots in the jump zone. On the third visit I asked why this mattered, to be told that under 12 knots nearly all the troops landed without injury. So I said what if the wind is 20 knots? “We’ll get 20% ineffectives after landing”. What if you rally have to go anyway? “We’ll put 25% more guys on the plane”.
It all went OK and sime tome later the guy got me a parachute for my glider and taught me how to pack it.
This is why I reckon the Ruskis are winning. The Uke bullshit is just over the top.
I had a video pop up from a guy who’d done some interesting discussions on air combat. His topic in the video? The Ghost of Kyiv. FMD.

Due to the price of Ukrainian grain on which they are fed.
Back in the 1980s, they were fed (at least partially) on fish meal, and tasted and smelled fishy.

Mostly agreed on all points. I would only add that:
* They obtained consent, but this consent was uninformed and not freely given, it was under duress and so inadmissible.
* The enforcement being outsourced to business is somewhat relevant to the deadliness of the vaccine (not only the mandates surrounding its use) because the same fascism that co-opted the private sector to create the segregated society also greased the rails to big pharma profit with a tokenistic no-penalty regulatory approval mechanism.
It has occurred to me that the documentation Pfizer provided was so extensive precisely to dissuade the regulator from actually reading it. The FDA were in a similar position that you and I are in when an installer pops up a 20 page EULA and asks you to read it before deciding to use the software. Probably the regulator clicked “I Agree” for the same reasoning we do.

JC, the Boeing company is now run by accountants in Chicago. Most have only ever been to the company’s factories in Seattle and Charlotte SC on rookie familiarisations. Boeing hasn’t been run by engineers for 20 years. Most Airbus designers work on the floors above the main widebody production line in Toulouse.

“Airplanes? You mean the company makes airplanes” Rookie Boeing exec on visit to Seattle.
Tom, I read about it’s demise. According to the piece, Boeing went down hill with their takeover of McDonnell Douglas. Boeing took it over, but the Douglas crew to over and began to run things. That crew infected Boeing with all their terrible traits such as only showing concern for accounting tricks and cutting corners. The Boeing dudes were regular engineers of the highest caliber and never stood a chance against that crew.

The 310 maybe a better machine ( I don’t know), but the Dreamliner is an excellent plane to travel in too. I’ve never felt so refreshed after traveling on a long flight before I flew in a 787. The pressurization is fabulous and the air is quite humid which actually does (at least for me) reduce the wear and tear from jet lag.
Wifey reckons she didn’t suffer much jet lag recently.
Thanks, Tom certainly explains the companies decline from designing and building B707 to B767’s to what we have seen lately and sclerotic response with later models problems…
but the Douglas crew took over
Boeing is still in my never to sell bucket of investments. Man, it’s really hurt having come down to US$148 from US$381. I bought the thing at around $US45ish when I was putting together the never sell bucket. It’s up from that, but the fall from the top has really hurt.

Hard to believe, they had 40,000 engineers at Boeing one time according to the link.

Umm, Rockdoctor, the most recent example of that was the 737 Max.
For what it is worth, I think Airbus is ahead of Boeing in getting the pilot/software balance right.
