Microsoft is now charging an annual fee for the use of their bloated Office 365. I only need a few of its features and have started using Open Office which is a good free substitute for Word, Excel and Power Point. However I have not yet found a good substitute for Outlook. I need to keep tabs on several email accounts as well as maintaining a contact list. Ideally it would sync to an iPhone as well.
Has anyone here got a suggestion for a suitable program to run in Windows? I don’t mind paying to buy it but the annual fee extortion from Microsoft really sticks in my craw.

Of note:
During a six-week war in 2020, Azerbaijan reclaimed broad swaths of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent territories held by Armenian forces. More than 6,700 people died in the fighting, which ended with a Russia-brokered peace agreement. Moscow deployed about 2,000 troops to the region to serve as peacekeepers.

Why do I get the feeling that if Murphy had been trying to pass the bill, and Cruz had blocked it, it would still have been a stunt by Cruz?

Consider eM Client. I find it easier and more intuitive than Outlook.
There’s a free version you can trial to see if you like the interface and basic email features- although IIRC you can only have the one email account and I don’t think it manages your calendar, to-do list etc.
The paid version is about $30 – with lifetime upgrades another $50 or so.

NAPLAN reports came this week. Big white A4 envelope (not the buff OHMS number- ACARA is of course a contracted company) with a folded pamphlet and explanatory full sheet glossy printed on both sides. The amount of padding is extraordinary- the pamphlet itself has the cover page densely covered and with an example result, the back cover has a five by four table brim full with 9pt type, the glossy promo has all the corporate logos and yes I am counting the WA gov roos and swan as a corporation, and a dozen rhetorical questions of the type which remind me of the monty python routine, How Can I Spend Even More Money On Feminine Hygeine Products?
The individual results themselves float in an airy void of noncommittal panels in gradated orange and blue, your kid as a black dot, nat av as a black triangle, your kid’s school as an outlined triangle. It’s all on a “band”, with the statistically classic sleight of starting at band 4, rising to 9. Year fives are band 3 to 8, keep your eye on the birdie. Why not percentages? Why not call the bands deciles? Why not print the full scale, there’s obviously no shortage of paper? Education in Australia is covered by constant verbose obfuscation and shifting paradigms, which only adds to the frustration of ditzy content, falling standards and participation ribbon merits. The 11pt accompanying texts tell us our students were assessed on “aspects of numeracy”, they wrote a “persuasive text”. These things are impossible to fail, and can only function to sever the student from their parents’ tradition of “sums” and “essays” and herd them into the glutinous middle ground.
For even more, go to the “my school” website (hint: “My School” is about as misdirective an identity as the “affordable care act”) and spy on your neighbours. “Our” primary school has taken a deep dive off the low platform, now when the website user- after checking and clicking that they commit to not disseminating the information which they paid for- clicks off the default “compared to students from a similar ackground” onto “compared to all Australian students”, the chart is the mid-fuchsia purple of “well below average”. These scales are a three-figure number which appear to be ranging between 200 and 700- again, why not percentages? why not 0 to 100?
Anyhoo, my kids are comfortably right up there, which I know is due to inherited brain power and conscientiousness more than any particular ambition or work ethic. Ambition may or may not kick in with hormones, or else they might get carried along by the ridiculous “we need more girls in STEM!” chorus. That hardly stands up to any scrutiny. There’s heaps of schollgirls in STEM, there’s heaps in Uni- what the Lizard People want is the ability to place their chosen proles into the productive research-and-minerals postions which they need to control.
STEM is a bullshit term anyway. What’s wrong with the three thousand year old terminology of the Sciences? HASS is another bullshit term, Humanities and Social Sciences, which at the base is raising early-entry Marxism to the prestige of The Science. The old dichotomy of Science and Art has been split into a gassy cloud of STEM, HASS and Writing Persuasive Texts.
Interestingly, both my kids only dipped out on the Writing aspect. Given what the assessors were looking for, I’m quite comfortable with that.

Unpacking the Apparent Trump-Hillary Double Standard: For Her, the FBI Helped Obstruct Its Own Investigation
By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations
September 15, 2022
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch obtained evidence that a computer contractor working under the direction of Hillary Clinton’s legal team destroyed subpoenaed records that the former secretary of state stored on a private email server she originally kept at her New York home, and then lied to investigators about it. Yet no charges were brought against Clinton, her lawyers, or her paid consultant.
The leniency accorded to Clinton contrasts with recent moves by Attorney General Merrick Garland to aggressively investigate former President Trump and his lawyers for allegedly obstructing investigators’ efforts to locate subpoenaed records at his Florida home. Legal experts say the apparent double standard may provide a useful defense for Trump and his legal team.
The treatment of Clinton included a deal with her defense team that required the FBI to, in effect, obstruct its own investigation. During its 2016 probe, the bureau agreed with her lawyers’ demands to destroy two laptop hard drives containing subpoenaed evidence immediately after searching for files on them. They did so while the information was still being sought by congressional investigators and even though the lawyers had served under Clinton at the State Department and were subjects of the FBI’s investigation. In fact, the laptops were theirs.
Long before it bowed to the request, the FBI suspected Clinton’s lawyers played hide-and-seek with evidence, making the concession that much more baffling.

Russia’s Use of Iranian Kamikaze Drones Creates New Dangers for Ukrainian Troops
Shahed-136 drones supplied to Russia carried out several devastating strikes in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region over past week, Ukrainian commanders say
Russia has inflicted serious damage on Ukrainian forces with recently introduced Iranian drones, in its first wide-scale deployment of a foreign weapons system since the war began, Ukrainian commanders say.
Over the past week, Shahed-136 delta-wing drones, repainted in Russian colors and rebranded as Geranium 2, started appearing over Ukrainian armor and artillery positions in the northeastern Kharkiv region, said Col. Rodion Kulagin, commander of artillery of Ukraine’s 92nd Mechanized Brigade.
In his brigade’s operational area alone, the Iranian drones—which usually fly in pairs and then slam into their targets—have destroyed two 152-mm self-propelled howitzers, two 122-mm self-propelled howitzers, as well as two BTR armored infantry vehicles, he said.
Before the current wide-scale use of the Shaheds, Russia carried out a test last month, striking a U.S.-supplied M777 155-mm towed howitzer with the drone, Col. Kulagin said. Another Iranian drone malfunctioned and was recovered, he said.
So far, the Iranian drones seem to have been mostly deployed in the Kharkiv region, where the 92nd Brigade and other Ukrainian forces carried out a major offensive this month, retaking some 8,500 square kilometers, or roughly 3,300 square miles, of land occupied by Russia and seizing or destroying hundreds of Russian tanks, artillery pieces and armored carriers.
“In other areas, the Russians have overwhelming artillery firepower, and they manage with that. Here, they no longer have that artillery advantage, and so they have started to resort to these drones,” Col. Kulagin said.
Independent experts who examined photographs of recent drone wreckage from the Kharkiv region say that it appears to be Shahed-136, the latest evolution of Tehran’s delta-wing design.
Scott Crino, founder and chief executive of Red Six Solutions LLC, a strategic consulting firm, said the Shahed-136 could provide Russia with a “potent counterweight” to the high-tech weapons systems, such as Himars missile launchers, that the U.S. has provided to Ukraine.
“The presence of Shahed-136 in Ukraine war is undoubtedly changing the operational plans of Kyiv,” he said. “The sheer size of Ukraine battlefield makes it hard to defend against the Shahed-136.”
Mr. Crino said the Shahed-136 can be used with great effect with one targeting a radar system and the second one hitting artillery pieces. Iran also has antijamming systems that can make it hard for Ukrainian forces to counter, he said. “Once a Shahed locks onto target, it will be hard to stop,” he said.
Russia’s use of Shahed-136 drones in Ukraine represents the most challenging expansion of Tehran’s arsenal beyond the Middle East, where Iran has successfully used its unmanned aerial vehicles to pressure America and its allies in the region. It also highlights the deficiencies in Russia’s own drone program, which hasn’t been able to match the firepower of armed UAVs deployed by Ukraine.
Israel and the West have accused Iran and its proxies of flying armed drones to attack Saudi Arabia’s oil industry, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, American soldiers in Syria, as well as tankers in the Gulf of Oman in recent years.
The British Ministry of Defense, in its intelligence update on Sept. 14, also said it was highly likely that Russia had deployed Iranian drones in Ukraine for the first time. Noting that the Shahed-136 has a claimed range of 2,500 kilometers, it added that so far, it appears that Moscow is using these drones for tactical strikes near front lines rather than to destroy more strategic targets deep into Ukrainian territory.
The Iranian drones are relatively small and fly at a very low altitude, making it hard for Ukrainian air-defense systems to detect them, Col. Kulagin said. He said he hoped the U.S. and allies could provide Ukraine with more advanced antidrone technologies, or would step in to disrupt Iranian drone shipments to Russia.
In July, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan warned that Russian defense officials had visited Iran, preparing to purchase up to several hundred Iranian drones, including the weapons-capable ones, on an expedited timeline. At the time, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian denied the plan in a phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart and said that Tehran opposed the war on Ukraine, according to a statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
Russia hasn’t publicly commented on Iranian drone purchases. Iran’s Foreign Ministry didn’t respond to a recent Wall Street Journal request to comment on the matter. The Kremlin and the Russian Defense Ministry didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
On Sept. 8, the U.S. Department of the Treasury said it had sanctioned Iranian company Safiran Airport Services for coordinating Russian military flights that transported Iranian drones and related equipment to Russia, and Iranian drone-manufacturing companies Paravar Pars, DAMA and Baharestan Kish.
Drones of different kinds play an important role in the Ukrainian conflict, in part because neither side has air superiority and is, therefore, reluctant to use manned aircraft over enemy positions. Hundreds of military and commercial reconnaissance drones hover in the air daily along the front lines, spotting targets and guiding artillery fire.
Ukraine, unlike Russia, also operates a fleet of drones armed with missiles. These Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones destroyed several Russian armored columns in the early days of the war and are being used more frequently once again, now that Kyiv has been able to weaken Russian air defenses in many areas, in part thanks to U.S.-supplied AGM-88 HARM antiradar missiles.
Both Russia and Ukraine also use what are known as kamikaze drones, or loitering munitions. Russia’s Kalashnikov Group has developed a homemade drone known as Kub-Bla, while Ukraine is flying Polish-made Warmate and U.S.-supplied Switchblade drones, as well as some locally made UAVs. These munitions have a much shorter range and flying time than the Iranian-developed Shahed drones, and carry a significantly smaller payload.
Iran has emerged as one of the world’s most resourceful developers of combat drones, in part by reverse-engineering American drones that went astray over the past two decades in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Since Iran unveiled its kamikaze drones in 2016, versions of them have been used to carry out attacks across the Middle East. Last year, the British government accused Iran of using Shahed-136 drones to strike an Israeli-affiliated oil tanker off the coast of Oman, in an incident that killed two crew members. A U.S. military investigation recovered drone debris from the MT Mercer Street tanker and concluded that these were parts of Iranian made delta-wing drones.
Washington also accused Iran of using delta-wing drones as part of a coordinated 2019 attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil industry.
The U.S. and Israel have accused Iran of providing militants everywhere from Yemen to Lebanon with the training and the parts they need to develop their own drones.
Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen have repeatedly used delta-wing drones to carry out attacks on neighboring Saudi Arabia. In February, Israeli officials said, U.S. jet fighters brought down two Iranian delta-wing drones over northern Iraq. Israeli officials said the drones were heading for Israel.
While the Biden administration has been warning for months that Iran was preparing to provide Russia with hundreds of drones to use in Ukraine, the U.S. initially expected Tehran to have shipped drones capable of carrying missiles, not the kamikaze-style Shaheds.
Michael Knights, a military specialist at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a think tank, predicted that Ukrainian forces would be able to quickly counter the threat posed by Iranian kamikaze drones. “Iran’s drones look snazzy in Yemen and Syria and Gaza, but they’re increasingly blockable,” he said.
Ukraine, he said, is “a serious counter-air environment and electronic warfare environment that Iran hasn’t really experienced before.” These drones, Mr. Knights added, “tend to have effect at first and then the shock effect wears off.”

Here is my decision: I don’t want to hear allegations about what may or may not have occurred behind the scenes on the old Cat. I’m not going to ask either the ‘plaintiff or defendant’ for evidence. Nor am I going to bother Sinc about it. Any mention of behind the scenes goings-on will end in a temporary suspension. Repeat offending will end in a permanent ban.

Dover
The Driller made the claim the accusation was made on YOUR blog, – not on the old one.
Now that he’s made the accusation I would expect him to provide the evidence and according to your recent missive. You should expect the lying cunt to provide evidence of his claim. Am I reading this wrong?
Also Dover, the claim the dishonest redneck made has ostensibly received a large number of upticks. Upticks or downticks ordinarily don’t matter to me as some of us strongly suspect they are manipulated by Thought Leadership. People have spoken about this at Discord in private and group chats and the allegation hasn’t been neutered.
However, let’s assume they’re real. That would mean that a large number of people have been taken in by his dishonesty (fakenews). Seeing this is a site that wants to trample over bullshit and fakenews, wouldn’t it be in your interest ensure fakenews and assorted bullshit it dealt with harshly? He’s lying.
Whoops

Melbourne at Play
Commuter Angrily Confronts Couple Engaging in Alleged Sex Act on Bus: ‘You Don’t F**k on the Bus, Mate’
A couple’s alleged sex act in the back of a bus was interrupted by a commuter who was disgusted by what he saw.
The wild scene was captured on video on a suburban bus route in Melbourne, Australia, according to news.com.au.
The footage begins with one of the passengers scolding the two strangers who were apparently having sex on the bus.
“Listen brother, you don’t f**k on the bus, mate,” yelled the commuter filming from the front of the bus.
One of the strangers engaged in the alleged sex act tries to gain sympathy by claiming he has autism. But the angry commuter has none of it.
“I don’t care if you are f**king homeless, don’t f**k on the bus, c**t,” he said. “I don’t care if you got autism. It doesn’t mean f**k on the bus.”
The man filming then suggests the couple take their friskiness somewhere else.
“Get the f**k off, and go f**k in the park or something,” he pleaded. “Have some f**king respect for yourselves.”
Other passengers can be seen trying to ignore the awkward moment while the two parties profanely yell back and forth.

A mighty struggle grinds on behind-the-scenes that may determine the fate of the “Joe Biden” regime and the Deep State horse it rode in on….
Between vanishing livelihoods, car-jackings gone wild, fears of stroking out or infarcting from their mRNA boosters, threats of nuclear annihilation over Ukraine, and remorseless waves of mindfuckery emanating from the evil machine fronted by “Joe Biden,” is it any wonder that Americans struggle to understand what is happening to our country?
This week, the “commander-in-chief” declared that his Inflation Reduction Act quashed inflation. Roger that, sir! You are the King Canute of economics!
They had a party on the White House lawn to celebrate. James Taylor came down to fluff the crowd with song, leaving his brain behind in the Berkshires. Then, “Joe Biden” flew into his now-customary ‘roid rage, huffing and puffing and blowing smoke up America’s ass. The stock markets were not fooled. The very hour “JB” was dialing up the gaslight, the DOW landed 1,200-plus points below its morning open. Thud….
Last week, the “president” blurted out “we beat Big Pharma!” That was a shocker. He didn’t elaborate. Did the White House staff and the Pfizer C-suite meet for a volleyball game at Rehoboth beach? Karine Jean-Pierre didn’t say. Nor did anyone mention the government-purchased 171-million doses of the new bivalent Covid “vaccines” the FDA is rolling out. Do you wonder what the price-per-dose was? Go suck an egg… you’re not allowed to know. The compliant search engines will not tell you. Not even the one that goes quack. That was some “beat,” though, huh? Wait for the news about who actually steps up to take this new, virtually untested shot. Hint: people who live under a rock
The so-called Deep State — yes, that one… the administrative Moloch that ate Washington — fears for its existence in such a seemingly far-out case. As it should. Because Mr. Trump would replace the sniveling tool Merrick Garland with an Attorney General interested in restoring the rule of law, which will necessarily require the imposition of said law on a large cast of sinister characters in the federal bureaucracy, plus not a few elected officials, who have engaged in systematic seditious treachery lo these many years.
Among these are the upper ranks of the FBI, whose multi-year illegal antics have climaxed in the August raid on Mar-a-Lago, and the September blitz of late-night, SWAT-team subpoena servings and phone-grabbings on Mr. Trump’s associates and lawyers. Seems the FBI might have been rope-a-doped on the Mar-a-Lago caper. What the FBI confiscated were reams of evidence of the agency’s own misconduct dating back through the RussiaGate op. Then they attempted to hide the list of all that material by redacting the affidavit that accompanied the search warrant. Their aim: to designate all that evidence inadmissible in future proceedings against them due to it being tagged to an “ongoing investigation” that will never end. This has been FBI Chief Chris Wray’s ploy every time he’s been faced with serious questioning in Congress. I can’t speak about ongoing investigations….
Late Thursday, however, Federal Judge Aileen Cannon blocked the FBI’s use of the seized material in any criminal probe against Mr. Trump, and, at his request, appointed a “Special Master” to sort out the true ownership and privilege status of the docs. The Special Master is one retired federal judge Raymond J. Dearie. Mr. Dearie has until November 30 to complete his review of the material. By then, of course, the midterm election will be over; the FBI and its parent agency, the DOJ, will be making plans to do some ‘splainin’ to the new Congress come January. Game, set… Mr. Trump. Match to-be-determined.

Blair even picked up on it Thursday on his blog. I have a warning for these people. Once cockies work out how to get through a screen door they will be raiding fridges next. The one in the photo has worked out that if he jumps onto my door I will hear him and will come out with a nice piece of bread.It works every time, like a bell to a Pavlovian dog. Yesterday was his most recent door attempt. I’m so easy.
No quite. Anti-matter is the most expensive “item” on the planet, although HP inkjets are approaching the cost.
Fester
Is the cost of anti-matter halfway correct, as I believe all science topics need to be passed through your self-appointed approval scanner?
Let’s set the record straight re Joe Biden and little Vlad Putin.
The Pentagon is running the Uke War, supplying Uke weapons and operators that are sending missiles into Russia and Crimea.
What’s Putin doing about it?
Same thing he did the last 8 years, copped it up the arse.

If there’s anything you do today, tomorrow or even next week, read this piece by “the Zolten/miester. I received it from Credit Suisse last month. I thought it was unethical to post it, but it’s now on the web live. It’s an excellent macro piece about where the world could be heading with the Uke war. I disagree with him on certain things, but a Bretton Woods 2 (which is what he’s suggesting) is not impossible.
War and Industrial Policy
War means industry.
This is proof we conquered the Turks and imposed Australianisms on them.
My god, what have we done?
Dover, I think this is a valid point.
At the time Glyco-goose doxxed JC, there was a little bit of “Meh. Whatevs. You kind of deserved it” floating around here. No doubt driven, at least in part, by a false view that JC had somehow started a doxxing war.

What I said above relates to matters raised here about events on the old Cat.
It’s possible, but given the difficulty of establishing this and the triviality involved, probably not worth investigating.
John Smith was the only Protestant to move into the large Catholic neighbourhood.
On the first Friday of Lent, John was outside grilling a big juicy steak on his grill. Meanwhile all of his neighbours were eating cold tuna fish for supper. This went on each Friday during Lent.
On the last Friday of Lent the neighbourhood men got together and decided that something just HAD to be done about John, he was just tempting them to eat meat each Friday of Lent and they couldn’t take it anymore. They decided to try and convert him to be Catholic.
They went over and talked with him and were so happy that he decided to join all of his neighbours and become a Catholic.
They took him to church and the priest sprinkled some water over him and told him “You were born a Baptist, you were raised a Baptist and now you are a Catholic”. The men of the neighbourhood were SO relieved, now their biggest Lent temptation was resolved.
The next year’s Lent rolled around. The first Friday of Lent came and just at supper time when the neighbourhood was setting down to their fish dinners came the wafting smell of steak cooking on a grill.
The neighbourhood men could not believe their noses! What was going on?? They called each other up and decided to meet over in John’s yard to see if he had forgotten it was a Friday in Lent.
The group arrived just in time to see John standing over his grill with a small pitcher of water. He was pouring small droplets over his steak on the grill and saying “You were born a cow, you were raised a cow, and now you are a fish”.
How dare you!
Hmmm.
B&W lasers are around $100-$180 depending on whether duplex; scanner etc. Cartridges are around $80. Can print around 2,500-3,500 pages per cartridge.
Maybe they’ve just reversed the initial and consumables costs.
Monty and Numbers were a fine barometer about such things.
For a while both of them moaned about da coming acropolis. We then gave them many graphs and holy peer reviewed citations why nothing much was happening.
After a while Monty and Numbers stopped talking about climate acropolises and changed the subject, a lot. Monty still won’t talk about acropolyptic stuff. It’s engagingly amusing.

Poor Charles: he sounds confused.
sTan has a monumental whine:
After Queen Elizabeth II’s death, Indigenous Australia can’t be expected to shut up. Our sorry business is without end
No, it’s not that you aren’t supposed to. It’s just that it’s in poor taste. Anyone with half a brain expects you’re going to anyway. When have you ever stopped talking about it? The Queen’s death just gives you another excuse to talk about it, and deploy another misleading weapon in an attempt to induce maximal feelings of guilt – oh poor sTan being silenced again! Oh brave sTan, speaking out anyway! Will white Australia ever stop oppressing sTan and his people?
Dear lord, anyone would think these are the only people in the world who have suffered injustice, been ill-treated – been horrendously treated, even. No, sTan. It has happened to literally every culture and ethnicity at one point or another. We all have suffering and oppression inflicted upon us because of who we were and where we came from in our histories and those of our ancestors. Living under the yoke of oppression and misery is the norm of human existence. Living as sTan does is an aberration.
Also, no one ought to deny that Indigenous Australians were treated badly – often appallingly – by European settlers and the societies they set up. But these things are relative. It could have been worse for them, and much worse. Standard operating procedure for conquering peoples was (and sometimes still is, and could easily revert back to) killing and enslaving the conquered, and destroying any remnants of their cultures from the earth. I notice sTan is still here, able to write his tedious columns and crap on about his culture. Coulda been worse, sTan. This doesn’t justify past wrongs, but let’s have a little perspective, too.
And what of Indigenous Australians today? Are they still oppressed and regularly subject to appalling injustices? Of course, everyone knows sTan’s answer. But again, let’s have a look around the world and see if we can spot any other ethnic minority groups that currently have it worse than Australia’s Aboriginals. Gee, there are a lot, aren’t there? And they’re vastly more oppressed, disadvantaged and living in utter hopelessness than even the sorriest of sTan’s people. They have far more reason to be furiously angry towards their oppressors than sTan. But we hear sTan’s anger because he has this enormous soap box with which to broadcast it from, given to him by the very people he rails against.
Time to get over it, sTan. You’re supposed to be the ABC’s ‘International Affairs Analyst’. Why not take a slightly more global perspective on things? Employ a bit more worldly wisdom?
Of course, it’s clear why you won’t. You won’t let it go because it’s your meal ticket. Transcend your rage over past injustices, get over it like the rest of humanity has to do or has had to do at some not-too-distant point in the past, and you lose all of your privileges, your special victim status, your pity points bonuses, your white guilt card and all that it buys you. Don’t you, sTan?
It’s not that you aren’t supposed to talk about this, sTan. You should just shut up about it, you ridiculous child. Start living like a normal person.

Posted up thread, from an article in the Oz.
Fester, more snow can be a signal of gerbil warming, you infernal idiot. Snow occurs at a close temperature range around zero C. If it’s too cold it’s actually too cold for snow. If you’re using snow as a marker for gerbil warming you’re way off base like pretty much everything else you touch, you blundering idiot.
A very good reply to curated triumphalism re Ukraine – which is obviously a PR counter to the energy doom about to harm millions of European taxpayers…
Reader Mait beneath another Peter Jennings propaganda piece:
Show me a model where the GHG effect is significantly bad enough to do anything – either the timeframe is 1000 years (not 100, 8 or 30) or the forcings are short term (cointegrated in time-series models).
Otherwise it fails a CBA and it can be solved by simply going nuke otherwise.
The only policy you would ever need would be a 30 year or so complete tax holiday for the nuclear industry. No payroll, GST, corpo, personal income tax, excise etc. Anyone would be eligible; no monopolies or special treatment.
The fact that building a new dam here too is bloody near impossible simply means it is a graft for the right set of people (solar and wind, like the failed B&B and Solyndra).
Sorry, Stan, after the “poisoned waterholes” story, you don’t have much credibility.

My prediction is that in about a decade there will be a rush to nuclear. China is again in the lead there, building hundreds of plants and constructing plants in SE Asian nations.
If governments are going to subsidize and provide tax relief for EVs why not the same for nuke plants?
Dot, you noted the other day that you’re due for your booster because of work.

You’re such a low octane thinker, m0nty.
I have a Canon printer and was fed up at the replacement cartridge costs so I did a bit of research and found a distributor of aftermarket ink systems (InkProducts.com) that completely bypass the OEM attempts at monopolization of the market. Yes, they can even bypass the electronic OEM defenses of the printers.
I purchased a tank system from them for about the same cost as a complete set of Canon cartridges and with about 15 minutes installation I was in business. Bulk replacement ink is dirt cheap compared to the scam OEM cartridges. Frankly, if I had to buy a new printer in order to order one of the systems they carry I’d still come out ahead after a year or two.
The Libs primary vote hit an all time low in the election. It’s been in freefall since 2013. There’s a reason for that. Stay with facts and can your bullshit.
John H, have to noticed or read about what the Hidens have really done with the green legislation they pushed through recently. There was an allocation of US government funding to be held in one large bucket, meant for all types of green energy production assistance. The scum actually mentioned nuclear in the legislation. However, the agencies meant to approve reactor design are not anywhere in terms of changing the approval process for nukes. The suspicion is the funding will head towards solar and wind. This is how dishonest they are.
Yes possible, however Uranium miners look a very bet.

There is no point talking to Monty about AGW. His mind is incapable of rational thought.
All of the brands have continuous ink tank printers, not only Epson. A big disadvantage compared with standard ink jets and lasers is they’re really slow.
You can also buy expensive ink jet printers with high capacity print cartridges that are quite cheap to run.
The pricing model is pretty simple – if you buy one of those absurdly cheap ink jet printers, the replacement cartridges are going to cost you an arm and a leg. That’s where the printer companies make money; they likely lose money on the printer itself. Using refills on these printers generally screws them up after a while.
However, if you cough up more for an ink jet printer, the peripherals are cheaper and have a greater capacity. If you’re an infrequent user, however, bear in mind the cartridges dry up if left unused for long enough. You’re probably best off coughing up for a laser printer. Or buying a $29 ink jet and chucking it out and replacing it with another $29 ink jet when the included cartridges run dry.

HOW MORAL ARE YOU?
This takes less than one minute and is incredibly accurate… well worth the little bit of effort I promise.
This test has only one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely and completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be honest. Here we go…
THE SITUATION:
You are in Palm Beach, Florida with chaos all around you caused by a hurricane. There is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster.
The situation is nearly hopeless. You’re trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life trying not to be taken down with the debris.
Your move closer. Somehow the man looks like… Good Heavens* It’s Joe Biden! The raging waters are about to take him under forever!
YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:
You can save the life of Joe Biden or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the last minutes of one of the world’s most powerful men hell-bent on the destruction of the USA.
THE QUESTION (remember, please give an honest answer):
Would you:
1. Select high-contrast colour film;
OR
2. Go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
I’m sure. More sneezing indoors as also been blamed on gerbil warming, so no biggie as there are all sorts of stupid claims.
However, more snow should be falling in the regions where/when it’s too cold to allow snow.
Or more likely, though the ABC is being coy, it means the more expensive diesel generators will be switched off occasionally.
BIDEN DEMANDS WHITE SUPREMACY
But it’s a better deal than inkjets with the most expensive liquid on the planet.
It’s all to do wiv lack of advertising from the ink manufacturers .. if they explained to folk that printer inks main ingredient is distilled “unicorn tears” and how difficult it is to catch a crying unicorn then users would have more sympathy and accept the pricing structure .. LOL!

Let me more specific, as this claim was actually made by an AGW sceptic. The theory is that snowfall would move more into the latitudes more north and south if there was a strong signal of AGW. There hasn’t been to any large extent and the snowmass is residing in the same latitudes it always has.

That’s exactly too cold.
not that straight forward old chap
and you probably mean power, not energy
Sure.
Or buying a $29 ink jet and chucking it out and replacing it with another $29 ink jet when the included cartridges run dry.
That’s my solution .. usually find that BIG W always has a cheap ($19/$30) model on clearance to coincide with “back to school” sales or alternately, OFFICEWORKS, generally, has a coupla superseded models on clearance for under $35
Ron Di Santis has so many options now with Martha’s Vineyard. He could double and send 100 illegals by bus, and double again to 200, 400, 800…and so on
…or he could halve the number to 25 …to determine exactly how many could be accommodated on that small island with a housing crisis.
To be honest I never realised what a difficult life it is in Martha’s Lectureyard. It’s great that RDS has raised awareness of this issue. I might send some old clothes and a tarp to billionaires row.
It’s not confusing. You mentioned uptick manipulation, I quoted it and made my comment. That comment related to what was quoted and nothing else. I’ve made my point at 11.08 re the other matter.
I am just going to ignore it.

Of course, it has to be B&W.
Artistically, the dramatic effect is superior. Look no further than film noir pictures such as The Third Man where the characters are “drawn up or down” by the use of shade. Something only possible with B&W.
Second, in the Hiden era and by Hiden himself, B&W has been ascribed such monstrous proportions of dehumanisation that it would be fitting that there would be that limitation to his own demise.

I’ll change my mind as soon as there’s real world evidence that validates, rather than falsifies, the alarmists’ predictions.

Subject to one caveat – when we have multiple predictions by the alarmists, to the effect that factor X will go up, factor X will go down, and factor X will stay the same, then the mere fact that one of those three turns out to be correct doesn’t actually validate alarmism. (I’ll explain why if you need me to, m0nty.)

Run away climate change is countered every day around the world by storm cloud formation in the inter tropical convergence zone.
Solar heat input evaporates vast amounts of water vapour that rapidly rises to form huge and numerous storm cells that extent high up into the atmosphere.
These clouds produce rain and in doing so expel vast amounts of heat energy away from the surface. They die down as the sun sets but kick off again each day as we all can see for ourselves on holiday or if you live in a equatorial zone.
The clouds also create an albedo effect by their big wide white surface and reflect incoming radiation that would add extra heat to the surface.
How’s that Munty?
Remember twinkle toes that water vapour represents about 97-98% of all greenhouse gasses.
“CL running straight Russian war propaganda”
As opposed to Monty’s own sad, pathetic trolling and propaganda. Funnily enough, I thought of Monty on the bus today. I went to Pilates and then grocery shopping at Bondi Junction. I caught the bus home. I got on the bus and sat down. Opposite me was a young girl, about 18 or 19, sitting in between her parents. The young girl had a very pretty face however her hair was dyed purple and green, she had black nail polish on and black lipstick and I thought to myself, no doubt she’s studying “gender studies” at some university. Anyway, she was festooned with political badges bearing slogans such as “Palestine, from the river to the sea” (a call to genocide) and “fossil fuels kill” and daubed all over her jeans, jacket and shirt were the words “Bash the fascist” and “Kill the fascist”. She clearly wanted to be looked at so I did look, much to her discomfort. I thought to myself, she’s the real fascist. I wanted to ask her how she defines a “fascist”. And then I was reminded of Monty the Sad Troll’s “punch a Nazi” and his various profound thoughts on how Jew killers have “legitimate grievances”, and then I thought to myself, why don’t I paint on my jeans and jackets “Bash the commo” and “Kill the commo” and go out and pretend that wearing such attire with threats is completely normal. Hmm, but imagine I was to go out wearing a jacket emblazoned with the words “Kill the commo”? I wonder how long before some real progressive fascist, like this young girl with the red and green hair, decides to assaults me because the plain truth is that almost all of the people in the West today who are doing the assaulting of people with opinions they don’t like are the left, like this young woman and her ideological ilk. The normalisation of political violence is dangerous and wearing a jacket, in broad daylight, daubed with threats to bash your political opponents is sinister.

Dickless just gotta be an arsehole.
AGW should have ended with the 2007 judgment in the al gore An Inconvenient Truth case which evidenced all the consequences of AGW either did not exist or were exaggerated in an alarmist (the words of the Judge) fashion.
In 2010 Climate Gate occurred where a WHISTLEBLOWER released thousands of private emails from the Uni of EA CRU involving the private communications of ALL the climate scientists in the world. In public these scientists said the science was settled. In private they admitted the science was not only not settled but was a mess. They also admitted lying to the public and censoring sceptical scientists.
In 2020, at the height of the chunk virus, human emissions of CO2 fell in some months by over 30% yet atmospheric concentration continued to rise. The relationship between emissions, natural or human, and atmospheric concentration is pretty much instantaneous so if human emissions fell by 30%, and given the alarmists say ALL CO2 rise is due to humans, the atmospheric concentration should have been affected either by falling or the rate of increase declining. Neither happened. The only possible conclusion is humans are not responsible for the increase in atmospheric CO2.
AGW is a lie.
If you are triggered by a jacket button about fascists, you might want to visit the hall of mirrors.
When God created Adam and Eve, he said to them “I have two gifts to give you, one gift peeing while standing and…” Adam, very excited, interrupted and screamed “Man… Man…. I want it please, Lord. Please! Please! Please! This would make life so much easier!” Eve agreed and said that this gift was not important to her. So God gave Adam the gift. Adam was surprised, screamed for joy, ran through the Garden of Eden, peed on every tree. He ran along the beach making drawings with pee in the sand. He lit a fire and played a fireman. God and Eve looked at the crazy man with happiness, until Eve asked God “Lord, what is the second gift?” And the Lord answered “Eve, my child, the brain is yours!”
“If you are triggered by a jacket button about fascists, you might want to visit the hall of mirrors.”
No fuckwit, not triggered. Just amused and concerned that someone walks the streets emblazoned with threats to “kill a fascist”, which is simply code for “assault anyone with opinions I don’t like”. Oh and I bet, fuckwit, you wouldn’t be so tolerant if the badges had slogans “kill the commo” or “kill the socialist”. But then of course, fuckwit, you’re a hypocrite of the first order and you have no problems with such people, after all fuckwit, according to you such people have “legitimate grievances”.
Now fuck off.
Not at all. I mean, it’s certainly possible that 20,000 hardened, experienced Russian soldiers are currently trapped in Kherson on the wrong side of the river with no route to escape that hasn’t been blown up already, which is what the Ukrainian tankies want you to believe, but I remain dubious.
It seems like the Russians have retreated far enough that they can bombard the Ukraine lines at will. Is that just a temporary thing until Ukraine gets the American HIMARS stuff rolling again in new positions? We wait and see.
It’s not 1952, Cassie. I know you lot like to think there are still reds under every bed but no one with a brain believes that rubbish these days. Your world view needs an update.

I also encounter the young, brainwashed fascists and their uniform is obvious. I am provocative though. I wear T-shirts with anti-left slogans on them. One of my favourites is:
Carbon is life
Greens hate carbon
Greens hate life.
I’ve only been critiqued once and have received many positive comments. A young guy called me a fucking idiot after he saw the carbon lines. I replied it was a syllogism. I went into detail about syllogisms as a form of deductive reasoning and asked him what premise he disagreed with. he didn’t know what to do. Things don’t get physical with me, but I admit I wouldn’t like to encounter a young fascist bitch like you sat next to on the bus.
You should have asked her what her price was. She’s already advertising herself for sale to the nearest ideology.
Then you should have backhanded both the parents – once for their abject failure in that field of endeavour, and again for allowing themselves to be seen in public anywhere near that adult they raised.
“It’s not 1952, Cassie. I know you lot like to think there are still reds under every bed but no one with a brain believes that rubbish these days. Your world view needs an update.”
Nope, you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel but that’s not surprising. You’re a cowardly fascist who support violence against people whose views you don’t like…and you’re proud off it. Now piss off.

I know you lot like to think there are still reds under every bed but no one with a brain believes that rubbish these days
I know you lot like to think there are still reds under every bed and only people with a brain and a dick know that is true. FIFU dickless.
Wasn’t the only thing they did.
Documentary recounts the hell and fury of Jewish partisans who fought the Nazis (Arutz Sheva, 16 Sep)
Sounds well worth watching.
World views are nothing of the sort without an underpinning that is an ethos.
You’ll recover and will be fine.
Just think of it as a pile-on.
“Documentary recounts the hell and fury of Jewish partisans who fought the Nazis “
I knew one of those partisans, he wrote about what happened. It wasn’t pretty. He was one tough Jew.
Out and proud “you lot”.
Many thanks to those who replied with suggestions for alternatives to Office 365. I’ve installed Ashampoo and EM client and will try them out over the couple of weeks I have before the Microsoft extortion deadline. The Ashampoo apps look and feel pretty much like Excel & Word and I like the fact that they come from an established software house. EM client took a bit of fiddling to import the Outlook data but I managed in the end and I’m sure I’ll get used to the slightly different interface.
The Libs primary vote hit an all time low in the election.
That’s ancient history now.
It’s been in freefall since 2013.
No, it hasn’t.
Tony Abbott’s lies from the 2013 Campaign has affected turnout though.
There’s a reason for that.
uh huh.
What’s the reason, IYHO?
Stay with facts and can your bullshit.
LOL.
Your entire comment is made up of Labor Party talking points.

LOL thing you don’t miss about Victoria. Just started hailing…
You’ll recover and will be fine.

Sal says something today and denies ever saying it 15 minutes later.
Basically, the upticks are being manipulated.
The best solution is to have downvotes only.
That will be manipulated too, but the difference is that when a comment draws, say, 2,397 Downvotes, it becomes obvious.
Just to balance out my howwibly wayycist comment of yesterday, this morning I am sharing the breakfast room with a busload of Americans.
Maskless, but cranky. Very, very cranky.
I am a morning person and chirpy as a robin – been growled at several times. I thought they were only grumpy coming out of hibernation. And the behaviour towards the charming staff has to be seen to be believed.
I blame climate change. And Trump.
Which was:
Indecipherable:
and then:
I guess I’ll see the same remark in the next couple of minutes on Driller’s dishonest accusation? Yes, no?
Sure.

Lol, Longtime lurker from the grave.

Do you need a special sealed section here for hypersensitive geriatric ladeees?
🙂
The trick is to offer a bit of positivity into the messaging, it makes it harder to refute. Something like “Save the Planet, Kill the Fat!”.
There is no point talking to you lot about AGW. Your minds are closed on the topic.
It is way beyond time for the climate change adherents to answer one simple question.
1. Name just one verifiable climate change event? Just one, anywhere on earth where:
– there has been a reliable and verifiable change in the regional climate that spans at least a decade but it should be at least 2 decades. NOT JUST A BLOODY OUTLIER WEATHER EVENT EVERY NOW AND THEN.
ie. Where, say, a place like Pakistan, which has annual monsoon rains and then the monsoon rains changes or stops completely for over a decade. (NOT WHERE THE MONSOON RAINS ARE A BIT HEAVIER IN ONE OR TWO PARTICULAR YEARS BECAUSE OF CYCLICAL SOLAR AND LUNAR ALIGNMENT SITUATIONS)
JC, thanks for that article. (Not very happy reading, perhaps the reason why our leaders don’t seem to say much about it).
3 of the 4 on his to-do list make sense but I can’t understand, given what he’s suggesting will happen, that continuing with the 4th one to re-wire the grid for green energy? (or nuclear?) is necessary or prudent. (Even without his scenario, it’s not prudent.) So why stick with it?
On the investor front, lots more digging up stuff and a lot more quickly. (I know that’s not a state secret- but given the future he’s talking about, it’s even more imperative. But only if we can get rid of all the green tape that’s already stymying us.)
I would not have though that Sancho was either a geriatric or a ladeee in need of being sectioned.

If you are triggered by a jacket button about fascists, you might want to visit the hall of mirrors.
m0nty-fa, m0nty-fa, all that she was doing is what you have done.
Cassie’s description was “daubed all over her jeans, jacket and shirt were the words “Bash the fascist” and “Kill the fascist”. Since you have advocated exactly the same actions here, perhaps you should be the one visiting the “hall of mirrors”, so that you can contemplate your own stupidity and arrogance.
And, pray tell, what would be your reaction to the slogan “Kill the Commo”? Probably not much, since you are more fascist than commo, but, like your mates in Ante-fa, the person wearing the slogan might not discriminate, and proceed to bash you, just in case.

Sure, I didn’t agree with all of what he said too.
It’s not 1952, Cassie. I know you lot like to think there are still reds under every bed but no one with a brain believes that rubbish these days. Your world view needs an update.
Emperor Xi and various North Korean Kims are seeking out m0nty-fa’s address so a contract can be placed on him.
I would suggest that m0nty-fa grow up, but some things are simply not possible.
