So, he’s one of these arseholes who scour the Internet looking for things to debunk, but he’s never done a skerrick of original research himself?

If you actually read my link, you’d realise he was asked to do it.

But you just keep bouncing around defending your bullshit statements.

In the never ending “why are women so shit” series…

Women sue Twitter, claiming Musk layoffs unfairly targeted female staff
The proposed class-action lawsuit alleges that after the takeover, 57% of women were laid off compared with 47% of men

The article is as deceptive as you would imagie.

missing: What their roles were.
In the one case of a specific role being mentioned missing is the numbers which would allow for a valid comparison

Heres a hint as to just how few were in the role, and how sacking half a dozen more than males would skew the numbers.

At Twitter, for instance, just 10% of technical employees are women

Regarding cost of vaccines there is the actual Vax cost and then there is the payment for the jabber location such as Dr clinic or pharmacy. I believe the Govt pays $32 per jab administered.

Exactly how is that different to the government covering the cost of administering the flu shot for the last couple of decades?
Again of course zero to do with the original and very inconsistent claims that flu shots were more expensive not more expensive than covid shots, as long as the answer was covid shots bad.

I never said I was taking it to court. I said this to disabuse you of your veiled threats. Those comments were made under blog names and Winstron Sith has as much standing as JC does, you defaming cunt.

I’m unsure if one can sue under an alias, however my arguments would have more standing than yours, you pile of shit. There was no other reason to post the comment about shooting 1,000 people in the head other than being in support. Winstron was well aware that making accusations in the Brian saga were to defame. Take your best shot, Turtlehead. I’ll grind you to the fucking ground and then some. Let me repeat the comment made by Winstron Sith again.

All I can say is that which I’ve quoted from Taxicab Depressions :
“These people are playing with matches… I don’t think they understand the scope and scale of the wildfire they are flirting with. They are fucking around with a civil war that could last a decade and cause millions of deaths… and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 1000 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.”

Just disgusting. Deranged.

Be werry, werry quiet we’re hunting Dots…
C’mon Dot, crack her velvet garden open and show her what shes been missing!

I’m 58 and never want to have sex again: Monica says she is ‘repelled’ by the thought of being physically intimate with a man since the menopause… and she insists she is only daring to articulate what many women her age feel
Monica Zwolsman says that after menopause she never wants to have sex again
The 58-year-old says she now ‘shudders at the thought of sex’ with a man
She thinks millions of older women feel similarly but continue to ‘go through the motions purely for the sake of keeping a husband or long-term partner happy’

….
I married three times, which was almost everyone I’ve slept with, bar a couple of uncomfortable one-night stands post-divorce.

It sounds desperately conservative now, but I simply never saw the point of sharing bodies without something in return, whether children or marriage. (I’ve had three children with two of my husbands.)

Don’t get me wrong — I have enjoyed sex. When I was loved, and in love, it was good and passionate and I felt fulfilled by it.

Those who were single were relieved to be exempt from the whole messy business, even if it meant forsaking male companionship and affection. Still others lamented the fact that online dating sites for women of my age seem more like recruiting adverts for free domestic help, nursing care and financial assistance. And then they expect us to have sex with them, too.

Soon after, I met and married the Dutchman, and within two years I had two sons — and after that I had absolutely no interest in my wifely duties.

He might have been super-hot, but for me there was no real emotional connection, and this for me destroyed the sex appeal others clearly thought he possessed.

The minute I had both my children, and he refused to have a third, I was not even up for pretending any more. Unsurprisingly, I ended up a single mum at 40.

I don’t miss the pressure of getting into bed, tired and ready to sleep, and having a hopeful face alongside me, or being woken up in the morning by someone eager for more than a cuddle. I feel no nostalgia for it at all.

Yes, I do sometimes miss hugging someone and burrowing into their chest. I used to love that skin-to-skin contact.

Most of all, I would like to have someone of my very own as an anchor in life. But if that means losing my intimate privacy, then, well, it’s too big a condition for me to meet.

I have a dog for companionship and unconditional love. I have sons, sisters and brothers for family.

Monty level self delusion…

And they’d be right. The Tasmanian aborigines were known as the Murrayians, originated from Japan, were genetically related to the Ainu, and were driven from the mainland by the 3rd wave, the Carpentarians, who were the Vedda people from Sri Lanka. It’s only fair though since the Murrayians wiped out the first ones to reach Australia 47ooo years ago, the little guys who were called the Negritos.

Captain Miller in Saving Private Ryan, “our objective is to win the war” doesn’t seem to matter as much in these enlightened times.
Tim Blair picks it up from The Australian:

‘The war in Ukraine is draining U.S. arms stockpiles while geopolitical risks grow. Yet the Biden Administration is worried about — you can’t make this up — the climate impact of U.S. weapons and wants to impose costly green mandates on federal contractors.

A little-noticed rule-making proposed by the Department of Defence, NASA and the General Services Administration last month would require federal contractors to disclose and reduce their CO2 emissions as well as climate financial risks. The rule would cover 5,766 contractors that have received at least $7.5 million from the feds in the prior year …

For example, weapons manufacturers would have to quantify and disclose the amount of CO2 generated from their own facilities; manufacturers that produce steel, computer chips and motors used in their weapons; propellants and fuel; and even munition storage areas.’

And it was discussed here about Albo’s Skype wank fest with the premiers regarding power prices. So I will contribute this article from the Hun by Catie McLeod and Ellen Ransley re some components of their plans:

The federal government will cap the price of goal and gas and give $1.5bn to the states and territories for power bill relief under a deal struck by national cabinet.

Anthony Albanese – who is in self-imposed isolation with Covid-19 – agreed on the plan to “put downward pressure” on soaring energy prices with premiers and chief ministers on Friday afternoon.

The Prime Minister announced the emergency policy to Australians from Kirribilli House in Sydney shortly after the meeting wrapped up.

The plan has four components.

Firstly, the Commonwealth will take action enforce a mandatory code of conduct for the gas industry which will involve temporarily capping the wholesale price of gas at $12 a gigajoule for 12 months.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission will be responsible for monitoring and enforcing the cod and will be provided extra resources to do so.

Federal parliament will be recalled next week to deal with the necessary legislation.

The second element of the plan is that the federal government will “work with” NSW and Queensland to introduce a temporary coal price cap of $125 per tonne, Mr Albanese said.

The plan’s third component is rebates for power bills.

The commonwealth will provide up to $1.5bn in total to be shared by the states and territories, who will decide how to use the money to reduce power bills for households and small businesses

Mr Albanese said the federal government would not use the money for “cash handouts” and that state and territory treasurers would announce their respective relief packages early next year.

Fourthly, Mr Albanese said the commonwealth would focus on its plan to modernise Australia’s energy grid, to “make sure transmission is brought up to date” and increase the capacity of the networks.

Australians struggling to make ends meet have been holding their breath as they waited for state and federal politicians to announce a plan to tackle surging power prices.

A cap on coal and gas prices and customer rebates had been flagged.

National cabinet was expected to discuss the imposition of caps on the wholesale price of coal in Queensland and NSW.

But Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s support was conditional on the commonwealth agreeing to provide compensation for her state.

NSW Energy Minister Matt Kean said the NSW government would not be seeking direct compensation for lost revenue due to coal price caps but families and businesses needed to be compensated.

Reports have also emerged the federal government will consider rebates, which could be worth up to $280 in NSW.

Friday’s announcement comes after Energy Minister Chris Bowen met with his state and territory counterparts to agree on a plan for a new capacity mechanism.

The mechanism will allow governments to pay for electricity to ensure there is enough supply in the grid, but it will exclude gas and coal companies in favour of renewables.

Mr Bowen on Friday morning reasserted the federal government wouldn’t provide cash handouts to Australians to help them pay for their energy bills to avoid further fuelling inflation.

“Australians didn’t decide to invade Ukraine, Australians didn’t decide the price of coal and gas will spike,” he told ABC Radio.

“We’re going to leave nothing on the field to ensure this is dealt with for industries, for workers and for consumers.

“We won’t do anything to fuel inflation … So anything we do will be seeking to reduce the bills before they arrive at the letterbox of consumers.”

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley told Channel 7 earlier any reduction in power bills would come too late for families struggling to stay afloat this Christmas.

“All Australians want for Christmas is a reduction in their power bills. But here we are, on a Friday leading into Christmas and it seems so chaotic between the federal and state governments with no real plan,” she said.

“Please Prime Minister, come out of today’s meeting – this is the test – give us the plan that gives us the confidence that this is not one of your broken promises.”

No-one has mandated flu vaxes as being necessary to hold down your job and the various other acts of thuggery inflicted on people.

Ordering 4 x the doses administered (remembering it was supposed to be “one dose and you are done”) is the sheep shit cherry on the warm cow pie that has been the government actions over the wu-Flu.

Thats before you get into the mental/cancer/elective etc crises caused by the lockdowns and idiocy.

You are smarter than this.

If, 6 months in the government had said “oops, not as bad as we thought, we will vaccinate old peoples home residents and anyone over 50 is recommended for he shot, as are those with existing health conditions” it would have been proportionate. Instead we were locked into a purity spiral where Morriswine and the state premiers were too busy playing Ahab to the covid white whale to bother with responsible government.

Assume they meant 447 GWh, there is 50 GW of electricity generation capacity in Australia right now.

So 447 GWh is around 9 hours of that. Call it 24 hours as presumably the 50GW isn’t running at anything like 100 per cent.

So we will call it one day’s worth of electricity storage. A wind drought in winter (when solar panels are running way below capacity) could last a week. Two weeks even. Maybe a cumulative 6 weeks over the 3 months of winter.

No matter how much battery capacity we have – 1 day, 1 week, even a month – at some point, we will have a wind drought that lasts longer than the battery capacity. And once the batteries are discharged we’ll have basically nothing. Note that it won’t be a matter of, say, a 20 per cent fall in electricity generation and the market needing to redistribute scarce power to critical areas at high prices. It will be simply that there is, for all intents and purposes, no electricity.

This is what these idiots have assured us. And there’s basically no going back now.

Every home/office in Australia will need a petrol/diesel generator.

“LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — An energy department official is accused of stealing luggage from Harry Reid International Airport, the 8 News Now Investigators learned Thursday.

A felony warrant was issued for Sam Brinton, a deputy assistant secretary, sources said. The charge is for grand larceny with a value between $1,200 and $5,000, records showed.

Brinton is a deputy assistant secretary of the office of spent fuel and waste disposition, according to the Office of Nuclear Energy’s website.

Brinton faces charges for a similar incident at the Minneapolis airport. He was on leave after charges were filed in connection with that incident, an energy department spokesman said in November.”

Talking of coal. “Government Approves U.K.’s First Deep Coal Mine for 30 Years” Michael Gove has approved the U.K.’s first deep coal mine in more than 30 years after conceding that new green technologies are unlikely to replace the fossil fuel’s role in steel-making for many years. The Telegraph has the story.The Levelling Up secretary backed plans for a £165m coal mine in Cumbria in a decision that is expected to spark an immediate legal challenge from climate activists.

The Woodhouse Colliery, near Whitehaven, will produce coal for steelmaking in the UK and for export to Europe, employing about 500 workers at peak production.

But the project has been hugely controversial because of the impact of coal-based steel production on climate change.

The Government’s top climate advisor, Lord Deben, previously warned it would be “absolutely indefensible”. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/12/07/michael-gove-approves-uks-first-deep-coal-mine-30-years/

Energy woes? Aren’t renewables were too cheap to meter?

Albanese announces ‘extraordinary measures’ to combat energy woes (Sky News, 9 Dec)

Speaking from Kirribilli House in Sydney, Mr Albanese said he was “pleased” to announce the agreement with his state and territory counterparts.

“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. And we know with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, what we’ve seen is a massive increase in global energy prices,” he said.

“And because of Australia not investing in enough of our own energy assets, what we have is a vulnerability to those international price movements, and that’s placing pressure on businesses here but also on households going forward.”

Well he’s got that last bit right, we haven’t built a decent 24/7 power plant for decades. Instead we’ve been dynamiting them. But somehow I don’t think that is what he means.

The Tasmanian aborigines were known as the Murrayians, originated from Japan, were genetically related to the Ainu, and were driven from the mainland by the 3rd wave, the Carpentarians, who were the Vedda people from Sri Lanka. It’s only fair though since the Murrayians wiped out the first ones to reach Australia 47ooo years ago, the little guys who were called the Negritos.

Can you put a timeline to that for context. The Negritos arrived ~47,000 years ago followed by the Murrayians (when?) followed by the Carpentarians (when?).

Gripe of the Day. I’m tired of Colesworths selling me avocados that have been frozen in transit.

I wouldn’t buy fruit and veg from Colesworths if they were the last vendor on the face of the Earth. Used to go to some Vietnamese guys after they shut the dive markets (which incidentally now includes a Colesworths and Target). Usually get my stonefruit at the farmers market which really just resells wholesale market stuff. A few growers I think.

The point of quoting that Musk tweet – for those who are so dumb that they need it explained to them as if they are a four-year-old – is that Musk has arrived at exactly the same moderation policy as what Twitter was operating previously. You lot are fine with that because you think he will let through the fascist stuff now. You have no principles at all.

Bullshit dickless. The old equivalence thing that leftie dick-free shitheads do. I could explain the difference but it would be like explaining the difference between joe and Trump. It’s simple and self evident, overwhelmingly so, like the difference between a pile of rancid dog-shit and Mt Everest, or Tulsi and Pelosi but your dick free ego can’t accept it. It’s just impossible; without a dick, even if you have a big brain, it’s useless.

Teenager charged with murder of pregnant Perth mother to remain behind bars
Rebecca Peppiatt
By Rebecca Peppiatt
December 9, 2022 — 3.12pm

A teenager who allegedly threw a piece of concrete through a car window, hitting and killing Perth mother Diane Miller, will remain behind bars after appearing in court on Friday.

The 17-year-old appeared briefly in Perth’s Children’s Court via video link from Banksia Hill Detention Centre on a bail application, having originally been charged with grievous bodily harm following the alleged attack on the pregnant woman on November 29.

That bail application was retracted on Friday after his charges were upgraded to murder following Miller’s death on December 2.

The teenager spoke only to confirm that he understood the charges that were laid before him.

Miller, 30, was attacked at Waterford Plaza Shopping Centre carpark during an incident police described as “senseless, unprovoked violence”.

She died in hospital after spending three days on life support. Her unborn child did not survive.

The Noongar woman was five months pregnant, and has an eight-month-old son.

“Everyone’s destroyed,” her brother Malcolm Clifton told NITV News outside the hospital after her death.

“We just lost our world … the baby passed away too.”

Police allege there was an argument involving a group of teenagers and Ms Miller’s partner, who was driving the car.

Members of the public tried to resuscitate Miller before an ambulance arrived.

The teenage boy was remanded in custody and is due to return to court on January 23.

Can you put a timeline to that for context. The Negritos arrived ~47,000 years ago followed by the Murrayians (when?) followed by the Carpentarians (when?).

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312577659_Humans_rather_than_climate_the_primary_cause_of_Pleistocene_megafaunal_extinction_in_Australia

There were three major waves of migration of quite different ancient people who came to the Australian continent from southeast Asia. More than 40,000 years ago, when sea levels were much lower and Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania comprised one landmass, called Sahul, the first to arrive were a slightly-built people of pygmoid stature with dark skin and very frizzy hair. They were Negritos (named after the Spanish “little negro”), and they provided the initial population for the whole of this Greater Australia. About 20,000 years ago, a second type of people arrived from Asia. These newcomers, called Murrayians, were comparatively lightly skinned, wavy-haired, stocky in build, with a lot of body hair. They drove the Negritos before them until the latter retreated to the highlands of New Guinea, the rainforests of North Queensland and to then ice-capped Tasmania. The Murrayians became the dominant population on the east coast of Australia, and the open grasslands and parklands of the south and west of the continent. Then, about 15,000 years ago, a third wave of hunter-gatherers arrived. They were comparatively tall, straight-haired and dark skinned, with very little body hair. Named Carpentarians, they colonised northern and central Australia.

Weiss pointed out that “Twitter denied that it does such things. In 2018, Twitter’s Vijaya Gadde (then Head of Legal Policy and Trust) and Kayvon Beykpour (Head of Product) said: ‘We do not shadow ban.’ They added: ‘And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.’”

“What many people call ‘shadow banning,’ Twitter executives and employees call ‘Visibility Filtering’ or ‘VF.’ Multiple high-level sources confirmed its meaning,” Weiss explained. One Twitter employee said, “Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool.”

The platform used VF to “block searches of individual users; to limit the scope of a particular tweet’s discoverability; to block select users’ posts from ever appearing on the ‘trending’ page; and from inclusion in hashtag searches.”

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley told Channel 7 earlier any reduction in power bills would come too late for families struggling to stay afloat this Christmas.

“All Australians want for Christmas is a reduction in their power bills. But here we are, on a Friday leading into Christmas and it seems so chaotic between the federal and state governments with no real plan,” she said.

“Please Prime Minister, come out of today’s meeting – this is the test – give us the plan that gives us the confidence that this is not one of your broken promises.”

100% correct.
6 months after an Election win, with a 19 Seat majority, and Labor are looking like the Whitlam Government in mid 1974.
And all it took was constant reminder that Albanese’s promise to reduce household Power Bills by $280 was an uncosted lie.
Here’s another lie that Albanese told his own Electorate to hold on to his Inner Sydney Seat:
We’re bringing Julian Assange home.
So, what action has he taken to bring Assange home?
None, he won’t even speak to the protesters that meet outside his Electoral Office every Thursday at 11:00 am.

Twiggy Forrest’s Fortescue and Rio Tinto are having talks about collaborating on green hydrogen projects.

This, despite Rio’s own Chief Scientist (I know!) came out with this statement:

“At the moment, though, hydrogen is very expensive and will require a technological breakthrough to be economically viable,” he said.

“There will be very high-power requirements to generate sufficient hydrogen to meet future demands. However, the supple chain to deliver green hydrogen is not yet well established and it will take time before it will be a material contributor to decarbonisation.

“Hydrogen will also be impacted by leakage from storage and transport facilities – an estimated one per cent per day is lost when stored in liquid form. Competitive green hydrogen requires very low-cost renewable electricity at scale. It also needs lower capital costs.

“Hydrogen has a global warming potential 5­–16 times that of carbon dioxide over 100 years. Therefore, our intention is to consume hydrogen close to its point of generation.”

On that note, I am off to the pub to lean on the bar, drink beer and talk about wheat yields, rainfall and what a pack of drongos are representing Australia at the Test cricket.

Twitter suppressed links to one NY Post story for one day. And it wasn’t that one IIRC.

Face it, the Hunter story got a decent run in the press but it just wasn’t credible and it didn’t have enough evidence of any wrongdoing. Okay, so Hunter met with obscure third world pols to talk about deals that may or may not have gone through. Big whoop. It was hardly Stormy Daniels level. If the existence of dodgy brothers and sons were disqualifying, no Bushes would have been elected.
