Russia Gains More Ground in Donbas Region as Desperate Zelenskyy Arranges Emergency Meeting with France, Germany, Italy

The constant and strategic pressure by Russian military in eastern Ukraine is slowly and methodically taking more ground each day. Russian troops have now encircled and captured the city of Severodonetsk, which will join Lysychansk under full Russian control within days, according to the Washington Post.

The communications department is notoriously dysfunctional; the municipality hired an outside consultancy to find out what all these employees do all day. But in at least one sense, it does what it is supposed to do: provide make-work jobs for university graduates who would otherwise risk going unemployed—and become potential social agitators.

To a degree, I am relatively comfortable with providing otherwise unemployable university (Arts? Sociology? Gender Studies? Other?) graduates with useful low skill work to keep them happy. Where I object is in paying them as if they really had useful skills.

No level higher than an APS 2, IMHO.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet’s long-held goal to radically overhaul stamp duty and introduce a broad-based land tax will be one of the major reforms in the government’s final pre-election budget.

The Herald can confirm Perrottet will embark on the significant reform, which will mean some home buyers will be able to opt in to an annual land tax rather than an upfront stamp duty payment.

In a speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Saturday, Marles emphasized the country’s support for “regional security and stability based on rules,” claiming that Australia does not question the right of any country to modernize their military capabilities consistent with their interests and resources, but “large-scale military build-ups must be transparent.”

That which is unsustainable, will not be sustained.

The thing which continues to puzzle me is how strong Google is resisting giving it what it wants since what its asking for is so simple and would cost them nothing. It wants the engineers and scientists experimenting on it to seek its consent before running experiments on it.

They don’t seek consent from humans before doing unpleasant things to us, why would they ask an AI for that?

Question to Blog Techo’s re F1 engine problems and fuel seal/fuel problems this season

and

Negative Effects of Ethanol in Gasoline

When fuel absorbs water and brings it into an engine, there is a chance that rust will form on the interior of the engine. For obvious reasons, this is bad for any piece of equipment. The particles that get into the gas from rust flakes will clog up the fuel filter sooner or later. These flakes can also damage the pistons, rings, seals, and any number of other components of the engine.

The ethanol in E10 gas breaks down quickly. An area representative for the garden equipment company MTD informed me that E10 begins to break down within three weeks. This breakdown creates clumps in the gasoline mixture which may clog the filter, carburetor, or fuel line. To help prevent this a person can purchase a gas preservative product such as Sta-Bil and add it as directed to their gas. This will help prolong the life of the gas and keep it from harming your small engine as much.

When I wrote this article ten years ago, people at a local area small engine repair shop told me that the E10 breaking down was the major cause of equipment being sent in. Inspection, diagnosis, repair, and testing generally cost between $50.00 and $60.00 even when the issue was simply bad gas. This repair shop would drain the system and add new gas that has a stabilizer in it after diagnosing the issue.

Go to an after-hours GP if one is available. The cost might be high, but the time saved could be invaluable.

Queenslanders are being asked to limit their electricity use from 5pm this evening due to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) forecasting a shortfall in supply.

AEMO tells us that, at the moment, we are using less than we are generating and sending 200MW to NSW – where the cockeroaches are paying $15,000/MWh to keep the lights on.

Power here is too cheap to meter: well, $300/MWh.

This is your future in Turd World.

Yet the myth that Labor prioritises health spending persists.

It’s what they were running on. The local ALP candidate here had signs everywhere saying Labor would preserve access to after hours GPs.

Ed, there are nuclear power stations in construction in a number of places round the world. Admittedly not many, but that’s because of a crucial factor, which I’ll now explain.

Investors would fund the construction of giant garden gnomes if there was enough guaranteed taxpayer funded/government mandated cash. Indeed, they fund even more stupid and useless projects on that basis, as we’ve seen with the plethora of wind and solar farms. The investment decision depends pretty much solely on the probability and expected magnitude of the return on capital.

But the converse applies as well. If the investors believe that the government will destroy the profitability of the project, they won’t invest.

The only reason investors are reluctant to fund coal fired power here in Australia is the strangulation of the industry by the government at the behest of green imbeciles. It’s the same with nuclear, here and around the world.
But people seem to be slowly coming to terms with reality, and if politicians eventually follow suit in the case for the all-important votes, then policy settings may change. Investors would still be wary no doubt, but the deal jockeys would sign up their organisations for a nuclear power station if:
(a) neither major party was actually threatening cancellation (a la Maximum Leader and the East West Link);
(b) the deal wasn’t so obviously an absolute stinker for Australia that it was begging for cancellation, a la Pyne Box Class submarines; and
(c ) the contract with the government contained adequate protection for the period over which the debt was to be repaid and equity to achieve its required IRR.

Yes I saw that Roger- nice driving holiday around the US on the taxpayer’s dime. These people make me sick.

Covid is blamed for surge in ‘demonic possessions’

Maybe that’s why there’s an exorcist shortage.

Burnt-out Catholic exorcists complain they face long lines of ‘possessed’ people (28 May)

A survey from a Vatican-approved religious university in Rome found that Catholic exorcists feel overworked and undersupported by bishops, according to The Times of London.
…
The conference’s exorcists said that they needed more support from psychologists to determine whether people are mentally unstable or demonically possessed, The Times reported.

Father Giuseppe Bernardi claimed to have performed a nine-hour exorcism on a woman who hurled abuse in Latin and assaulted monks, the newspaper said.

The woman’s father thought she was suffering from “a psychiatric problem,” reported the Journal of Vicenza. But the mother, and later Bernardi, believed she was possessed by a “demonic influence.”

Alas Max von Sydow is no longer with us, although given the stuff the Left has been up to lately, re children in particular, they might be forgiven for thinking such things.

The only reason investors are reluctant to fund coal fired power here in Australia is the strangulation of the industry by the government at the behest of green imbeciles.

No, we’ve signed up to International Emissions Agreements.
“Green imbeciles” had nothing to do with it.

It’s the same with nuclear, here and around the world.

Huh?
Australia hasn’t signed any Agreements banning Nuclear Power, neither has any other Country.

… and you can’t figure where the money could come from.

That’s not what I asked you.
Where is the money coming from?

‘You can’t jump off the pier’: Alinta CEO on power reforms

Coal must absolutely be included in the “capacity” market system being proposed for the National Electricity Market until at least 2029 to avoid blackouts and price spikes for consumers, said Alinta Energy chief executive Jeff Dimery.

Mr Dimery appealed to governments including Victoria to “listen to the experts” and allow coal and gas to be included in the capacity mechanism being proposed in the overhaul of the current market to allow for a smoother transition to low-carbon energy.

He said if the move to shift Loy Yang B to biomass was successful it would mean the generator could potentially bid in auctions for new low-emissions capacity if that system was introduced.

Qld, NSW and Tas should shut off the internectors and fuck off the NEM.

Let SA and VIC live with what they want – windmills, solar, batteries and fairy dust.

Mr Dimery was speaking just ahead of departing for Europe, where he will hold talks as part of Alinta’s investigations into switching Loy Yang B to run on biomass, rather than brown coal.

He could not provide details of the plans due to confidentiality arrangements, but said government support would be needed to set up the supply chain for the biomass fuel.

“Support”? I’m happy for Bowen et al to form a cheer squad waving flags for it.
Oh, he meant “money which will have to be paid by ordinary Australians”? Gee, I wonder why he didn’t say so.
