Dover – Everything was working properly for me* up until just before 11pm, which was the last comment I made on Rabz’ radio show before wandering off. Been all good for me today.
(* Had a 500 error early on in Rabz’s thread, but I think that may be Aksimet spam control related as I was able to get around it.)
Yep, complete shutdown.

Thanks for your perseverance, sounds like it must have been a tricky problem.
I for one greatly appreciate your generosity in time and resources in the care and maintenance of this most excellent blog.

2 grandkids were having a sleepover at my place – I wouldn’t let them go home this morning until they watched the 1500m replay. It’s such an important milestone (pardon the pun) in Australia’s sporting history.

Unprecedented! China’s chip moguls arrested in rush/The Shocking Corruption of state-owned chip fund
China Insights
This photo has recently become an Internet sensation in China because the six people depicted are the top players in China’s chip industry, and now they are all in big trouble. In the past few days, several senior executives of the organization behind the semiconductor industry in mainland China have been taken away by the CCP’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and investigation.
This storm suggests that Xi Jinping, the current CCP leader, can no longer endure the corruption permeating the industry, and is trying to launch an anti-corruption campaign against influential figures to save China’s chip industry.
But if the fundamental problems in the system are not solved, the anti-corruption campaign, no matter how long it lasts, will not be able to solve the complex problem of China’s chip bottleneck.
FFS, if you don’t like meat, don’t eat it, but don’t be a vegan because you think it makes you holy.
PS: I was a vegetarian for two years as a twentysomething because I didn’t want to kill animals.
I now regard vegetarians as political radicals who hate nature, humanity, themselves, human civilisation and everything it has produced, including science and knowledge.
But especially the animals they pretend to care about. Vegetarians and vegans hate animals.
Plus they’re anemic because they’re denying their emaciated bodies the nutrients they need.

Amazing how many vegans recoil from pets and yet profess to be into saving the environment. Again, girls especially.
Not quite.

Yep. That’s because they hate animals, even though they pretend to love them.
Vegans wouldn’t know animal husbandry if it jumped up and bit them on the ovaries/balls.
If you love animals, you work in industries than look after them.
For example, the horse racing industry is full of horse lovers — most of them girls.

I always find them a bit stringy.

Agree Rabz
In the West veganism and vegetarianism are simply food cloaks for hard-left ideologues. It’s a label for them. I’ll be honest, I loathe vegans. Almost all of them are rabid far-left progressive extremists. When I’m introduced to one, I always know where they live and who they vote for, ninety-nine percent of the time they live in suburbs like Newtown, Marrickville, and other inner-west areas and they vote Green. I’ve never met a healthy vegan….not once….not ever…they’re always pale, weak and sickly looking. I remember when a friend’s son became a vegan at sixteen, twelve years later he’s a far-left activist who’s been arrested several times.
As for vegetarianism, I don’t like militant vegetarians however the vegetarians I know aren’t militant, they’re not sanctimonious and they don’t preach. Most I know still eat eggs and diary. Personally I love eating meat and try to eat red meat twice a week, I always feel good after eating red meat. I love offal and cheap cuts which involve slow slow cooking. We evolved to eat meat.
Aging from an Older Mate
Two guys grow-up together, but after college one moves to Georgia and the other to Texas. They agree to meet every ten years in Florida to play golf.
At age 32 they meet, finish their round of golf, and head for lunch.
“Where you wanna go?”
“Hooters.”
“Why Hooters?”
“They have those servers with big boobs, tight shorts, and gorgeous legs.”
“You’re on.”
At age 42, they meet and play golf again.
“Where you wanna go for lunch?”
“Hooters.”
“Again? Why?”
“They have a cold beer, big screen TVs, and side action on the games.”
“OK.”
At age 52 they meet and play again. “So where you wanna go for lunch?”
“Hooters.
“Why?”
“The food is pretty good and there’s plenty of parking.”
“OK.”
At age 62 they meet again.
After a round of golf, one says, “Where you wanna go?”
“Hooters.”
“Why?”
“Wings are half price and the food isn’t too spicy.”
“Good choice”
At age 72 they meet again.
Once again, after a round of golf, one says, “Where shall we go for lunch?”
“Hooters.”
“Why?”
“They have six handicapped parking spaces right by the door and they have senior discounts.”
“Great choice.”
At age 82 they meet and play again. “Where should we go for lunch?”
“Hooters.”
“Why?”
“Because we’ve never been there before.”
“Okay, let’s give it a try.”

No wonder he felt at home in Vegas.
*err, what?
132andBush, those particular years were among the happiest times of my life, getting married in 1964, living at Kings Cross, then later moving to our own home and becoming a mother in 1966. Wonderful times added to by the music of The Seekers.
Elvis enjoyed rendering the fat from bacon and mixing it with espresso coffee and spreading it on toast, red eye gravy he called it. Sort of like how a mouthful of coffee tastes good when you are scarfing bacon and eggs, but without the middleman. No wonder he he went the way he did.

Bit harsh, Tom. If you are referring to ‘lifestyle vegetarians’ in rich Western countries, that’s one thing. But many (perhaps hundreds) of millions of Indians are vegos for religious reasons, and they are neither animal haters nor malnourished.

Indeed. A classic example of leftist “I know best”, never mind what a black indigenous woman thinks, the white ALP hack knows best. Perhaps it’s time the rhetoric so beloved by progressive scum was thrown back at them, and Linda Scott is called out for her smug white privilege and she and others of her ilk, who love to casually dismiss the real lived experience of a black woman like Jacinta Price, is called a “racist”…..after all, they love to throw that word around with gay abandon.

Been looking at some old family photographs. Huge family. Uncles and Aunts and cousins. Hundreds of them. Looking at the photos and trying to work out “who is who” when they were younger. How they smiled as children is amazing.
What struck me is a photo from the 1960’s. A heap of younger children all well dressed, ranging in age from about 4-12. I could spot a couple of my sisters in it. Primary school age. Everyone looked so absolutely happy. Big smiles.
What terrifies me is that nowadays, those same kids can be “groomed” by some weirdo teacher wanting to put a “drag queen” in front of them. For equality and equity.
In a sane world, blokes would punch the fuck out of these arseholes. FMD.
Looking at that particular photo, I can’t but think what retribution the Uncles would have ravaged on these “modern day groomers”. They would probably be squabbling over the bones after the Aunty Sheliahs were finished them.

About Xi Pooh Bear having the top 6 chip maker senior executives arrested is show only. Corruption is all the way through the system. Corruption is usually incompetence much like the APS. Don’t promote those that can do your job better. Stand on the head of the next guy to make oneself taller so to speak is par for the course. Shifting alliances is how Pooh Bear got there and how he will be removed. Isn’t he supposed to be Premier for life. That life may look like ending sooner than he first thought. Its easy being a leader when things are going well, soon changes though. People involved in corruption tend to make sure things happen to keep the gravy flowing. Incompetents in power are narcissists and don’t know what to do when things go wrong except blame everyone else. I came across one recently on a small scale but adequately demonstates incompetence. Department Head wants accountant for an SES branch head on the basis they wear the same brand of shirt and discuss clothing apparel. The job required some specialist knowhow unknown by said accountant. I kid you not. The Head was overruled by the others on the panel and wanted to know how he got on the short-list.

1964/5 at Kings Cross was interesting. When we moved in Ted Noffs Wayside Chapel had only just opened and was recognisable only by the cardboard sign out the front. We knew where it was because we parked our car nearby.
The picture theatre just down the road from us was continuous, day and night. You could come in anytime, sit on director type seating and smoke if you wished, butts on the floor. This venue later became Surf City.
Drag nightclub Les Girls was very close to where we lived. We would see them often at the shop in Roslyn St.
Xi’s “flies & tigers” speech means these purges will continue for as long as he has the top job.

On my phone, catching up here in bed after a hard day’s childcare. We has our three little Qld grandies age 2, 6 and 8 all day so played ball games, threw endless rounds of quoits, read stories, clapped the trampoline jumpers, fixed lunch and arvo tea and dinner, all fed and watered and bathed. Hairy taught the 8 year old to play 3 simple tunes on her birthday music maker machine and I ensured the 2 year old came to no harm in the rougher games. He is a cheery little fellow and was keen to join in. They tell their returning parents, who saw Top Gun, that grandma and grandpa are lots of fun!

Labor royalty huh? Tell us, has Barnaby called to apologize?
Strikes me there’s three distinct types of Australians with Aboriginal heritage, and they have three different broad outcomes.
The first is the top-of-the-pyramid Marxists. The Professor Langtons, the Director Thorntons, the Senator Thorpes, the R&B artist Adam Briggses, the visual artist Adam Douglas Hills, the MP Burneys. All done real good in Australia either by effort or gift, almost all have pulled that maneouvre where they spurn their country as actually racist and vicious, which elevates their success all the more as being against satanic odds, and they largely call for the dissolution of the culture in which they’ve triumphed and its replacement by a world of their own design wherein they are the rulers. This is the utopia of The Voice, reparations, First Nationses, Treaty, Welcome To Country… and these people are the most powerful lobbyists for this sinister revolution. These people are usually the ones who boast about “walking between two worlds”, but have no doubt that they are largely massively comfortable and spend their whole existence in what can only be described as a world of European plenty.
The second is the average Australians, who live, work, study, save, move house, have kids, fall out with their second cousins, buy a new car when they get old, like any other Australians- it’s just that these have ancestors who were Aboriginal. No-one should really be too worried about these peeps, because they are us. Their interaction with the mechanisms of the Australian civil state- Local, State and Federal government- police, courts, banks, schools, health- are just the same as everyone else. (There is probably a distortion with the multitude of Aboriginal-targeted companies, commissions, scholarships and such which they might interact with, but I’ll leave that consideration out).
The third group (third of my speculation, no value judgement) is people who are genuinely stuck in traditional communities, which can be broadly described as stone-age superstitious male gentocracies. (When I say “they” I’m not trying to dismiss the individual suffering of every soul, but I mean the modal presentation of lots of tragic single lives which are forming a pattern too grisly to ignore). They can access the European luxuries of alchohol, drugs and porn with no temperance; they have inherited the violence of payback, wife beating, infanticide and yet we Australians must uphold the human rights of the victims; they are let down by illiteracy and innumeracy, which means that their mental processes are forever stuck in square one through the progress of court proceedings, money spending, school.
…
It’s apparent to me that Voice, Treaty, First Nations, Reparations only serve the interests of the first group, the aircon Aboriginals. ( Can’t bring myself to type “*bb*s. Funny isn’t it? I want to signal my disdain for people who want to claim the cred of victimhood, but I hate that word because I’ve heard it in my hometown as a sledge).
Voice doesn’t do anything for the second group, the Everyday Average Aboriginals, because they are doing quite alright, and demonstrating the primacy of a Enlightenment country by making their own decisions.
Voice will do bugger all for the last group. The only thing that will lift the misery of the Australians who are still trapped with no safety, no agency, no education and no responsibility is the continued ingress of the Enlightenment, and as aggressive as it needs to be.
It’s best to clear out these people BEFORE the mid terms. Even if it gets messy.
States send representatives to Washington based on however the hell they want to do it. Their choice. It’s up to the State Legislature how they arrive at the Representation. Russian Roulette in California would be entertaining.

Boambee John,
Found my:
– Grandfather: Leading Aircraftman (RAAF), Discharged: 10 DEC 1945 from 1 Wireless and Gunnery School. Mum said he was in Ballarat.
– Uncle: Signalman (Army), Discharged: 15 FEB 1946 from 1 AUST AIR FORMATION SIGS. Mum said he spent time in WA then got leave to get married. The honeymoon was interrupted and he tried to catch up with his group over half of Australia before catching them in Queensland. He then went to Malaya/Borneo, which must have been in the latter stages of the war.
Not sure if that helps regarding the providence of the case; Mum has no idea how it came to be in the garage. 🙂
Alas, Shatterzzzzzzzzzzz, no email! I’ll try to connect via Dovermail.
That’s okay, Turtlehead. You want to play it your way we will. Just keep in mind you were so chocked up with me kicking you around that you went crying to Sinclair saying I was being hurtful to you and you threatened law suits. You disgusting, sneaky little grub. You’re such an insidious worm, Turtlehead that I feel sick even conversing with you. Just remember that every single stupid comment you post will be a reply.
(Unless that was you advising that my Norton Anti-virus had expired (again!)…)

That fucker owes me an apology.

You may not be aware, that I actually pleaded with Turtlehead to stay away from me as I didn’t want to be held responsible for the moron dying because he was all twisted and upset. The microbe has had a organ transplant and I believe they can’t take stress. He obviously stressed when he went bawling to Sinclair I was mean to him. I’ve literally begged the microbe to stay away, but he won’t.

The only problem is that Edge becomes complicated if I try to load more than 12 cartoons at a time as that is the maximum number of pages I can have open simultaneously apart from the page I am downloading to.
You can open more than one iteration of the Edge browser provided your screen is big enough, which will give you more tabs.

The inventive name of that doxxer of JC sounds like Bird in a bad mood. As an old timer on the early Cat, one of the founding group, he may well have known JC from way back.
If he tries to doxx again JC will lawyer up. So be warned GB if it was you, or any other who might have been responsible. Luckily this last time the site was mostly down so less harm done than would have been so otherwise, imho.

Billionaires, Hollywood Celebrities Join Call to End Public Plane Tracking After ‘Climate Criminal’ Backlash (7 Aug)
So you have all these people virtuously urging the proles to eat bugs for Gaia, yet are flying around in private jets and partying on huge yachts? And they’re sensitive about being portrayed as climate hypocrites? Oh wow.
I see Peter FitzSimons’s white liberal supremacy has been on display again in an interview with Jacinta Price. This obnoxious fellow really needs to check his privilege.
I can’t speak for JC but I don’t think he is waiting for a ‘next time’.
And, whilst it is possible it is Looney Bird, I don’t think so.
Thanks Tom
I genuinely feel sorry for FitzSimons.
Everything has to be left wing/right wing, liberal/labor, who said something not what was said.
It’s all about the narrative & squeezing it all in to fit.
I don’t read his columns but when Cats post excerpts or summaries here, I am reminded of the dwarves towards the end of the book in “The Last Battle” by Lewis.
Jeez,
Still can’t post a comment re Trump and DeSantis.
There are certain people wandering around who have confused their own physical size with both competence, and the capacity to speak with authority on any subject they please.
FitzSimons is one of them – a local richie who’s managed to travel the world and live extremely well without ever having to hold a real job. He has yet to realise that being a big unit with an overbearing personality and money doesn’t make you right.

– Uncle: Signalman (Army), Discharged: 15 FEB 1946 from 1 AUST AIR FORMATION SIGS. Mum said he spent time in WA then got leave to get married. The honeymoon was interrupted and he tried to catch up with his group over half of Australia before catching them in Queensland. He then went to Malaya/Borneo, which must have been in the latter stages of the war.
The prime possibility is that he picked it up in Borneo (not Malaya), to use to store personal items, and brought it back with him. There might have been piles of them lying around, essentially dumped.
But he could also have picked it up at a field firing range in Australia.
It’s an interesting comparison. Sitting in the sunshine at a table of plenty and believing they are in a filthy stable and eating tainted straw.
The inability to see all the good things around them. Only one removed himself from the group and saw things as the really were.

I lived in Elizabeth Bay Rd. Heading off to KC train station, it had only just opened, passed a street kid, about 12 yo, and a paedo. The conversation I heard turned my stomach. The paedo passed me at the station as I got a ticket. He slipped on the big escalator, must have been my foot in his back. What a shame.

Binary climate traitors, thank you.
The teev informs me that (Dr) Sophie Scamps wants to ban junk food ads, which is a bit like a local council declaring a climate emergency.
What Dr Scamps clearly didn’t learn at TAFE is that with or without junk food, there will still be a segment of the population who are sedentary blame-shifters who avoid personal responsibility.
How some people can publicly say ‘I am a disgusting fatbody, glued to the couch with residual sweat, with arteries like titanium and who lost a remote control under a roll of tit fat and it’s all Colonel Sanders’ fault’ escapes me.

I feel for the people Jacinta represents, black & white.
FitzSimons is attmpting to deny them a voice -ironically – by telling her, essentially, to toe the white liberal line or shut up.
FitzSimons has nothing to offer them but more misery.
But…hey, it makes him feel good about himself.
I do sometimes wonder what his role is in the leftosphere.
A has-been rugby player (I make no claim to an objective appraisal of his past abilities) who does not have a background in the convoluted fractal sophistry of the other faces on the fish-wrappers, “match’d with an aged wife” – he really would not have much to bring to the boiled kelp soirees.
While they are all standing around nodding agreement with each other like bobble-headed toys on a the dashboard of a car with square tyres, he would be listening intently for any word he recognised and trying to bluff his way by working a few into his anxiety-charged stammered agreements.
Then he looks down his nose at people far smarter, and deeper, than him because when in front of his type-writer or a microphone he becomes that mouthy little brat at school whose courage comes from a confidence that the bullies behind him will step in when he goes too far.

Why is anyone taking this Fitzsimon fellow seriously ? He is a B-Grade celebrity!!!!
Too High a Rating?

That’s the problem with price controls in feral countries.
If you don’t control the price of stuff they revolt and kill the pollies.
If you do control the price eventually you go bankrupt, they then revolt and kill the pollies.
If you lift the price to stop going bankrupt they then revolt and kill the pollies.
No wonder so many of those countries are military dictatorships.
That way if the people revolt the military kills all the people.
Which if you’re a pollie is better than the alternative.
Germany’s energy U-turn: Coal instead of gas
Berlin has realized it will never again import as much energy from Russia as before the Ukraine war. So the challenge is to wean Germany off its dependence on Russian energy sources, and quickly. The question is how.
Starting this week, German hard coal-fired power stations are restarting operations, which were being phased out because of the hugely detrimental climate impact on a world already ravaged by global warming. Germany’s goal had been to phase out all coal-generated electricity by 2038.
But now, the government is swallowing the bitter pill of allowing coal-fired power back onto the grid. It is hoped that this will replace the gas-fired electricity that currently makes up some 10% of Germany’s overall energy mix.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke of temporary emergency measures “imposed for a very short period of time that don’t take anything away from our climate targets.”
“What must not happen is that we slide into a global renaissance of fossil energy, and coal in particular,” the chancellor warned.
But at first glance, last year’s global data seems to suggest that is precisely what is happening: Never before has the world used so much coal to generate so much electricity. And the International Energy Agency (IEA) warns that the same pattern of high demand and high production will be repeated this year.
Finding other suppliers is not the problem, say German coal importers. These include sources in South Africa, Australia, the US, Colombia and Indonesia, says Bethe. But these various kinds of coal each have different characteristics and qualities, he explains. It’s important to see which mix is the best for the German power stations. And tests are underway.
More difficult perhaps, according to Bethe, are the transport routes for coal. The big sea ports like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Antwerp are all booked out. Inland shipping routes taking coal by ship or train from the big ports to the power stations are at their limit. This is also in part due to Germany’s shortage of skilled labor.
Brown coal comeback as well?

It certainly is a changed world as we know weak men make.
Nice to see Australian mid distance running making a bit of a comeback with Oliver Hoare and Peter Bol winning medals at the Commonwealth games. It is always a bit of a lottery with mid-distance running but the quality and consistency of performances in the mens and womens at Tokyo, the last world championships and the current commonwealth games shows we are getting back. It also shows that you don’t have to be African to win Olympic and world titles. Norway’s Ingerbretson and the UK’s Wightman in the 1500m for men are the current Olympic and world champions.
All we need is someone to pop in the 400m. There are a couple of young kids in the juniors so let us hope.

The diplomatic failure has also made the Communist Party Leader Xi Jinping even more defensive.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/aug/08/i-will-continue-killing-foreigners-soldier-who-shot-dead-unarmed-australians-treated-as-returning-hero-by-taliban
Hekmatullah, the rogue Afghan soldier who killed three unarmed Australian diggers in Afghanistan a decade ago, is living in a luxury home in the capital Kabul, treated as a “returning hero” by the Taliban who released him from prison.
He has said he does not regret killing Australian soldiers, and has vowed he would again kill Australians, or anyone who opposes the Taliban.
“If I am released I will continue killing foreigners,” Hekmatullah told an official of the former Afghan government when his release was being negotiated.
“I will continue killing Australians and I will kill you as well because you are a puppet of foreigners,” he said.
…
A former senior official in the democratically elected government of Afghanistan – overthrown in August 2021 – has confirmed to the Guardian Hekmatullah’s return to Afghanistan.
“He was welcomed back to Kabul as a hero … with a house, car, guards, an amnesty for his crimes, his expenses are being paid for. He is being treated as a hero.”
But hey, lets spend 100 million or so on the SAS investigations…
Hekmatullah fled the base into the Baluchi valley and was designated a “high-value” target for the Australian SAS in Afghanistan within 24 hours. He was the sole target of a controversial SAS mission to the village of Darwan in Uruzgan province on 11 September 2012, based on – ultimately flawed – intelligence he was hiding in the village.
The mission was the subject of extensive evidence presented during the long-running defamation trial brought by the former SAS corporal Ben Roberts-Smith, who denies all wrongdoing in relation to an allegation he participated in the murder of an Afghan national during that mission.
Two other Australian SAS soldiers have also been accused of unlawfully killing Afghan nationals during the raid – allegations they deny.
