Basically, Scotty was lying every time he opened his mouth.
Should he have stuck to playing the Opposition like a Stradivarius?
Never heard of Kermit Roosevelt before this morning,
now a day of frenzied Gooooglin’ has made him an expert.
Sad.
Should he have stuck to playing the Opposition like a Stradivarius?
Let’s put it this way:
Scotty looks like a Prime Minister, even now.
Contrast that to the real Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, who still looks like a piss stained derro.
The NDIS is an absurd and grotesque failure.

Yep. …and the whole scam is so obvious.
The whining by the right of “this government is so terrible it is going to turn me into a Nazi” is not as convincing as you think it will be.
Err, the conplaint is that this government is going the fascist path, onr that you show every sign of support.
Your reference to “Nazi” demonstrates that you are unaware of one of the key differences between fascism and Nazism – Jew hatred. Are you hoping for some of that?
Back to wanking while reading the Protocols for you.

Godwin’s Law exists for a reason, and that is because invoking Nazis quickly degenerates any online discussion and almost invariably leads to misuse of the analogy.

Forget about that, have you yet worked out which Kermit Roosevelt was the son of Teddy, and which was the grandson?
You googled Joe Bugner, didn’t you?
Sucked in again.
Wrong again. Sucked yourself off again.
This has been answered before. Unvaxed and got long covid from alpha, delta and omicron. alpha was by far the worst. To get over long covid required a combination of 5 different meds with zero thanks to the utterly useless local medical establishment.
You can catch different strains with major variation that have immune escape from prior strains. We can thank the huge pool of vaxed for unwittingly breeding these and it’s seems possibly pfizer as well.

This is interesting, last night I posted the following two reports:
Here is another estimate by Chinese Intelligence of UKR casualties:
That’s some range, from 110K-305K KIA and 95K-129K WIA. So about 200K-410K casualties. The figure I hear Col. Macgregor and others suggests is 140-160K KIA with seriously wounded roughly being about another 70K-80K.
Monty, always right
Syrians are the main beneficiaries of refugee protection in Germany, yet many are still forced to rely on state welfare to survive. New figures show that only around 35% of Syrians of working age are able to make a living

My recollection is that the virus mutated several times before vaccines were even developed.
spreading widely in a population and infecting many people, it is more likely to mutate. “The more opportunities a virus has to spread, the more it replicates – and the more opportunities it has to undergo changes,” the WHO says.

Dover – Still looks like about equivalent casualties on both sides, which isn’t surprising as they’re fighting WW1 all over again.
This morning I had a look at ISW’s report for the first time in ages, mainly because Glenn Reynolds linked it. They’re quoting a lot of RU milblogger sources these days. Not especially admiring of the RGS the bloggers are. And the on-ground movements are still extremely minimal, with what appears to be very large casualty rates on both sides. I figure the Russian artillery advantage is closely offset by the Ukie defensive advantage.
Amusingly, also, Girkin and Prigozhin seem to’ve gotten themselves into a pissing match.
Not sure how it’s a troll to quote them coming in on the low side.

Gotta luv the Jewish Vanity Press.
Apropos the doing of PhDs..
I was asked to do one in the late 80s.. 3 years, interesting research, publications, teaching, a door opener for an academic career in an increasingly dysfunctional health system..
But… after an arduous NHMRC application process, which made clinical viva examinations look like coffee chats.. and a $27,000 p.a wage ie. a fraction of my wage as a medical registrar.
That is, a below-average wage for yet another supposedly valued sacrifice, after decades of hard slog.
F@ck that!
Instead I became interested in the math of discounted cash flows, TVM, IRR, MIRR, Bond yields and portfolio theory.
That middle-finger to academia allowed early retirement and sufficient FU money to tell some woke employers where to place their first digit.
It was definitely the right decision.
That wasn’t the point, Hallward.

I’ve repeatedly made the argument the Libertarians were infiltrated and subjugated decades ago, and recently advanced that point by saying the Labor Party and the bulk of the Liberals have become the Uniparty – or if you like – the camouflage of the Inner Party from 1984.

There’s a funny aspect to this Wodger, and its the Urban Millenials and their parents who are the ones going to get slugged for these Green Dreamers. The Wukkas are pretty well sucked dry and in no mood to fund the grandiose dreams of the elites. The Elites won’t fund those dreams – that’s what they’re getting fat on at the trough. It only leaves the upper and middle class with any cash to plunder.
Death taxes, Superannuation Levies for reconstructing Australia after the ‘Market Failure’ the government is causing, rising GST etc.
The Millenials haven’t a clue what their Radiant Future is going to cost them. MMT is a con and they haven’t any idea just how badly it’s going to hit them. Every teenager with their own bathroom? IF you’re lucky, you’ll have a Communal Bathing Facility per block of flats and be sharing a two bedroom flat with another family of 5. Just like the original Communists.

How is it that no one seems to complain about the constant re-coding of the same commands and features, in almost every update of their over-engineered OSes?
Having to re-learn new ways of doing the same thing, and without the benefit of tangible interface improvements.

‘MICROCLOTS’ COULD HELP SOLVE THE LONG COVID PUZZLE
. The introduction of new technologies such as mRNA is a good example. This is technology we can tap to improve the research on vaccines against tuberculosis and malaria, particularly in HIV. We don’t have a vaccine for HIV yet, but there are now new candidates being made with mRNA
Yeah. My first thoughts at ‘Chalmers’ and ‘seminal work’ was:
Eeeew!
This has been answered before. Unvaxed and got long covid from alpha, delta and omicron. alpha was by far the worst. To get over long covid required a combination of 5 different meds with zero thanks to the utterly useless local medical establishment.
Sorry Zipster, I hadn’t seen your post before. Wow – I am sorry to hear that. Not surprised that alpha strain was the worst. We were very fortunate to be able to “see out” much of the early days and strains of Covid at the farm. We changed our diet, and took all the recommended supplements and preventatives suggested by the FLCCC and other sources. When we did get Covid eventually (husband about 8 months ago (attending a funeral in Sydney) & me about 2 months ago (attending a huge 70th birthday at the Art Gallery) – it was the relatively benign Omicron.
Whether our used of suggested (by FLCCC & others) treatments (corticosteroids, Quercetin, aspirin, Vitamin D3 & Vitamin C + zinc) helped – who knows? But we both were only mildly sick for about 5 days & had no after effects. In spite of this, we think we were very fortunate in not contracting the early strains.
Even though I think the IFR was grossly overstated by the medical authorities for all age groups, I have never regarded Covid as “just a normal flu.” It was a virus modified to be particularly injurious to our species.

………………………………………………………… LOL.
Is that the right amount of dots before the LOL, Wods?
That is massaging the figures a bit. 35% of Syrian refugees rely entirely on benefits but another 15% or so are employed but take some benefits as well. A significant portion of the other 50% are stay-at-home mothers, which is fully Cat-approved.
Merkel’s approval ratings rebounded towards the end of her reign back to what they were before the migrant surge. She was fully vindicated.

MICROCLOTS’ COULD HELP SOLVE THE LONG COVID PUZZLE
Rosie – thank you so much for that link. This is a fascinating study and long overdue. The use of specific anti-coagulants could be a real game changer.
The villain is almost certainly the blasted spike protein. The good news is that the effect seems to diminish after about 12 months. At least, that seems to be the indication. What seems likely, is that it the effect from the spike protein may be seen in both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. Even so, the
design of the response of our own immune system to the mRNA vaccine – in producing spike to art the immune system – would seem to prolong the likelihood of developing a problem.

Well he got himself a few more Bushmasters out of it, so I suppose it was worth it for him.
Not exactly, only 35% of Syrian refugees are female, and no-one here, that I know of, thinks living on welfare is a good outcome.

We are rookted as they say. This third way tripe was vented before by Tony Blair and even clinton. It’s crap. But if chalmers get his way we will be stuffed. For a start he will tax us to the hilt.

Google/YouTube Block Project Veritas Expose’ on Pfizer Executive Discussing “Directed Evolution”
January 28, 2023 | Sundance
Project Veritas founder and CEO James O’Keefe announced earlier on Friday that Google/YouTube removed the expose’ and undercover story showing Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer’s Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations – mRNA Scientific Planner, discussing the company pursuing “Directed Evolution” a process to modify the COVID-19 virus.
Seems pointless to do so, seeing that three quarters or more of Aussie politicians have completely abandoned that area. Both the ALP and the Libs are full on Magic Money Tree fans these days. The lemmings are in full flight, nothing will keep them from jumping over the cliff.
Much talk in the backblocks of the old idea of minting a trillion dollar coin. Maybe that’s softening up. I don’t know. The Dems dearly want to keep on spending and are disinclined to accept a veto from the Republicans in the House. Be fun if they decide to ignore the debt ceiling and just keep going. Who’s to stop them?
Very well put. Chalmers doesn’t understand what a market is. They’re not really a mechanism.
They’re a process.
If Chalmers imagines anything, it’s that markets generally should be capable of operating like the NEM. With mechanistic rules, market operators to apply the rules, and commissions to implement policy that set the rules, and an occasional government tweak to keep everything nicely on track.
And, like the NEM and its Top Men and Top Women, he misses the point that it’s the external, complex, sometimes random processes beyond the point of exchange that dictate the outcomes.
Good.

Big ears has a big issue other than his ears.. This country is filling up, very quickly, with old people.

Of course they’d the Russian government would say that; they also likely need it for war purposes.
That could be legitimately a grand project with many benefits, with the CPC in charge in the east, it is hard to see this as anymore than support for the Belt and Road policy (until the CPC is ousted).

The excellent Redfield College at the centre of the ABC smear campaign is, so I understand it, one of the most oversubscribed schools in Sydney: parents are queueing up to get their kids into it because they know a good school when they see one. I am not, by the way, a member of Opus Dei, not are most of the parents.
There is good educational research, 2dogs, on how children learn to read. But it supports structured teaching of phonics, which is anathema to the leftist dogmaticians who control state schools (and for that matter too many mainstream Catholic schools). Hence it is ignored.
Not sure anything really changed with Musk.

I found it impossible to believe that a soverign nation could, in this day and age, be invaded for territorial expansion.
It is much much more impossible to believe that an Australian treasurer would, without consultation, or mandate, declare a command economy. That is such a bizarre concept from every perspective that it will certainly destroy its originators.

And multiplying the number of people who call for

Power Kero for my lamps ?
Shouldn’t it be blue kerosene for lamps?
We had an old inter tractor that ran on petrol-power kero, accidentally filled her up with blue one day, couldn’t work out why t was backfiring and running rough on kero but sweet on petrol.
There shouldn’t be a world of difference between power kerosene and lighting kerosene in an engine. The key difference is wrt to smoke point which is an indicator of cleanliness of burning. If there’s much kero around now it’s most likely DPK, dual purpose kerosene meeting bot Jet A-1 spec. and Lighting kerosene spec.
Interesting that those old dual fuel tractors use pretty much the same fuel as a modern airliner!

Minor issue Robert, in between the powerful and important arguments here.
BoN could clear it up, but Power Kero is a fuel for engines, that much I know and it’s of a clear colour, there must be a reason why they tint the other kind blue, and I assure you the blue one don’t work very well in an internal combustion engine.
I still remember your bonus for watching paint dry.

Yeah, no Arks. Not due to bat flu. Had a similar symptom in 2019 where I would wake up in the middle of the night and no sight in my right eye. Absolutely terrifying. It would come back in a couple of seconds, but made me want to seek a diagnosis, ASAP.
Went to two optometrists and two ophthalmologists, one of whom was in my year at school and who died “mysteriously” two years ago at the top of his game.
Their multiple diagnoses? There is nothing wrong with your eye.
Utterly disillusioned, I tried to figure out why this phenomenon might have been happening, starting with, what position was I lying in when I woke up?
It was always the same – sleeping on my right shoulder with my face (and my eyeball) pressed into my pillow. Trained myself not to sleep like that and guess what?
Gorn.
And yes, currently, still feeling like I’ve been fed knees first into a cement mixer. Every pain receptor in my body is going ballistic. Cassie has been informed of the debacle.
“The excellent Redfield College at the centre of the ABC smear campaign is, so I understand it, one of the most oversubscribed schools in Sydney: parents are queueing up to get their kids into it because they know a good school when they see one. I am not, by the way, a member of Opus Dei, not are most of the parents.”
It’s been done by their queen of smears, defamation and fabulous and fantastical falsehoods, the one and only Louse Nilligan. Strange how she and their ABC are never interested in the goings on at Malek Fahd Islamic School or Al Sadiq College but I suppose that’s because it doesn’t suit their vicious anti-Catholic narrative.
I expect it to be on a par with Nilligan’s absurd hatchet job that tried to smear Morrison by associating him with QAnon.
All paid for by you and me.

They tint lighting kero blue to make it distinct from Mogas. If you accidentally put Mogas in your kero burning lighting and cooking equipment, people die.

Teal independent Jacqui Scruby defends family holiday in Aspen
A ‘Teal’ candidate in the northern beaches suburb of Pittwater has been accused of pretending she was at a local rally while she was hitting the slopes in Aspen. Another has been accused of photoshopping pictures from the same rally. It’s in The Sauce.
Hundreds of angry locals turned up to a public rally to protest against plans to allow tourists to stay overnight at a lighthouse complex located in the northern beaches seat of Pittwater last Sunday.
With a state election weeks away, the pollies were also out in force with Pittwater MP Rob Stokes, Opposition environment spokeswoman Penny Sharpe and Pittwater Liberal candidate Rory Amon among those present.
However, one key person was missing.
Despite photographs of the rally appearing on the Facebook page of “teal” independent candidate Jacqui Scruby, the Pittwater hopeful sent her apologies.
The Sauce can now reveal the environmental lawyer and Pittwater local was on an overseas holiday with “part” of the trip spent at the ski resort town of Aspen.
However, Scruby’s office rejected accusations from some of her political rivals that posting a photograph of the rally despite not being physically present was misleading.
The rally photographs were posted with Scruby writing: “Wonderful to see so many people – and so many Team Jacqui volunteers – turn up to help save Barrenjoey’s gorgeous heritage-listed buildings from becoming short-term rentals.”
When asked to confirm local gossip that she had actually been “skiing in Aspen” when the rally was underway, The Sauce was told she was overseas before it was later clarified how part of her trip had included Aspen.
“I’ve recently had an overseas family holiday to spend time with my two daughters following a busy year as both campaign manager and then parliamentary advisor to Dr Sophie Scamps MP,” Scruby said in a statement.
“I’ve recently had an overseas family holiday to spend time with my two daughters following a busy year as both campaign manager and then parliamentary advisor to Dr Sophie Scamps MP,” Scruby said in a statement.
Ms Scruby – who worked for federal “teal” Dr Sophie Scamps before announcing her own candidacy – also tackled the question posed by some of her political rivals whether she had offset her flights, declaring she had.
“My family has carbon offset our flights and I hope the NSW Liberal Party are as concerned about the emissions from the 26 coal and gas mines they have approved in the last four years as they are with my family’s flights,” the climate change adviser said.
The NSW government is proposing to commercialise part of the spectacular headland by converting the Assistant Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage for enable overnight tourists to stay.
Locals, including community lobby group Palm Beach and Whale Beach Association, have declared the plans as “tantamount to vandalism”.
The lighthouse is often featured in the TV series ‘Home And Away’.”
in other words yes pfizer does mutate viruses
This really needs a massive explanation. I’m not seeing any connection.
Greg Sheridan tells a lot of lies and doesn’t like Australia?
That’s the explanation that makes most sense.
He claimed a few months back that Dutton was naive to believe the US would sell us Nukular powered Subs, but it’s been back on the agenda, so presumably Marles has just gotta make the right noises?
Peter: Correct.
With a very weak correlation coefficient of 0.1354, despite the significant P-value, the best he can say is vaccination may be a contributory cause.
The temporal cross plots don’t help the ‘strong’ argument – either in r^ or distribution.
The authors know better; hence “the the vaccination programme is causing, at least, some of the excess death rate.”
Don’t stress too much if you haven’t got any chickin soup.
Not essential.
Gabor,
Possible explanation as to why the Lighting Kerosene didn’t work well.
The Jet Fuel Specs and Lighting Kerosene specs don’t have a requirement for cetane number. Cetane number is irrelevant to the fuels performance in these two applications.
However, in reciprocating compression engines the cetane number is very important. I haven’t been able to confirm, but it is very likely that the Power Kerosene spec had a minimum cetane number requirement.
If your lighting kero happened to have low cetane number then it would likely result in very poor and rough running due to late ignition / poor ignition.
The lack of minimum cetane number in the Jet Spec is a big problem for diesel cycle aircraft engines. That’s not going to change either, the 0.01% of consumption isn’t going to end up dictating the rest.

Oops reread what I said about a tender I put in. The maintenance was 5 mil not 50. Even at 5 mil it was 3 mil too much. The rollout of installations at 750 sites was to be 200 per year with the maintenance not being pro rata. I’ll try not make a mistake again. The library is being renovated at the moment and I’d like to see it finished.
Gasp!

When you hold a job like Defense Minister of Russia, you presumably have to be bold and think outside the box to protect your country from enemy advances. And with his latest strategic idea—cloning an entire army of ancient warriors—Sergei Shoigu is certainly taking a big swing.
In an online session of the Russian Geographical Society last month, Shoigu, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, suggested using the DNA of 3,000-year-old Scythian warriors to potentially bring them back to life. Yes, really.
Ok to cheer you up Rabz here’s an Aussie babe.

Back in the I had an Anderson steam cleaner, made in Christchurch, home of Arky. The guys could use it in the workshop and sweep up afterwards, there was so little water in the steam. We ran it on Jet A1. $0.95 a lt. No tax on it at the time.

It might be the only significant cause. Likely you may never find the right randomised controls to find out? I suspect a specialised regression method is required.

Had a back and forth with a feminist friend today re the trans issue.
She’s in furious agreement with me on everything, especially the children side of it.
Sent me this link to a Germaine Greer interview from some time ago.
Quote from GG @ 30:20 mark is “There is nothing feminine about being pregnant”, followed by a list of reasons she thinks why.
I disagree but maybe I’m just looking at it from a male pov.
Friend agrees with GG.

I am sorry but the first assertion is so silly all I can do is carry on with more nonsense.
Many middle and old aged wallies have pregnancy envy, given their ample beer bellies.
So yeah, nothing feminine.

In light of that I’m wondering how EASA certified the AustroAero diesel engines in the diesel version of various Diamond Star aircraft to run on jet fuel?
Lol
And yet, here we are, with a major statistician floundering in the weeds, unable to make a cogent argument.
The solution, if ever it’s found to anyone’s satisfaction, is going to be way more complicated than ‘the vaccines have caused a 15,736% increase in excess deaths’ as per shite commentary from the Exposé, Steve Hirsch, or Gateway Pundit et al.
In the meantime, serious guys with something to say, like Fenton, are just fuelling culture wars.
Sad.
Huge wonder too Hallward. Everyone here was wondering.
The question is has she already?

I wonder how any of them got certified anywhere. We had an indemnification form where we knowingly refuelled them. “You’re relying on a property for engine correct engine performance that we don’t test for.”

Of course it’s another case of vibe over reality. They’re wedded to reducing the number of Avgas burning engines (lead content). They need an alternative. So push through an alternate they did.
Incidentally, cetane number minimums are of course in the Diesel ground fuel spec.
They beat him to death because – looked like he had a bag of fentanyl stuffed up his backsayeedah?

rickw, amazing how the normally anal retentive certification criteria are waived for “environmental” reasons.
The “get the lead out of avgas” movement has been going for the last 30 years. It is only the really high compression larger turbocharged engines that need the lead. They are 20% of the fleet but use 80% of the fuel. It is possible to eliminate that need by using water injection for takeoff. Once at lower power turn that off and the engine runs fine on unleaded.
Making 100 octane unleaded is difficult. One avgas candidate worked fine but was also excellent paint stripper.
