connected in series

not a chance

they’d each have their own dedicated circuit.

without doubt

likely a distribution board at the bottom of every light pole
and each light fixture/cable would likely have its own individual’protection’

for the whole pole to go off the incoming breaker would have to trip
or the up-stream breaker that protects the sub-mains feeding it would have to trip

it’s pretty hard for sparky or engineer to screw this up because the protection heuristics are more-or-less built into the wiring rules

it wasn’t a globe and it wasn’t a transformer

Evolutionary genetics is the study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary change. It includes topics such as the evolution of genome structure, the genetic basis of speciation and adaptation, and genetic change in response to selection within populations.

Is there any place in the world that beats harbor-side or Sydney beaches for living? I can’t think of any place.

No. Especially if you have good north-facing water views from the eastern shores across the main harbour, which we have. I want this to be our permanent retirement home, close to three of our four children who now live reasonably nearby. It’s extremely quiet here on a peninsula, local harbourside and coastal walks are world class and the older gardens are superb. Everything is also very well kept.

Our friends on the upper northern beaches also live well in what they call Godzone country.
We had a property up there once and moved into it for a few years before selling it.
In the East, Bondi now is just too crowded, so is Bronte, and Coogee is less enticing overall as friends who sold in Bronte and moved to Coogee are discovering.

Calli, we let our Vaucluse place once while away for six months, but it is a trial in that you have to fill the garage with your clothes and other stuff and leave the place pretty much as a furnished hotel set-up. It was really too much trouble especially if you have to find homes elsewhere for pets for the duration. Now cat sitters get our place for free as long as they are good to Attapuss. A pretty good deal actually for them.

I think you will find (see his enthusiasm for Ante-fa) that m0nty=fa adheres to the standard, dishonest, fascist left definition of violence: Something done to leftards. All actions against non-leftards are simply fully justified debating techniques.

If (big if) he actually looked through the video linked above, he would have to use that definition to reach the conclusions he spruiked here.

There was very clear pushing and shoving, far worse than anything I experienced in three years traveling on the London Underground, which could be pretty crowded at peak times. But maybe under the noble (sarc) rule of TaliDan, the Melbourne train system has become something like Alice Springs on a Saturday night?

looks to me like they didn’t trip more like they all quickly ramped to off at the same instant.

maybe the main DB shat itself , though I’ll bet it did not
the lights came back a short time later
and no sparkie’s gonna just walk up and just flick that 1000 Amp breaker on after a trip

“He’s so rich he can buy one for company and afford the settlements when they leave.”

I have a family member who had dinner with Rupert recently. Rupert loves women, particularly blondes and he’s lonely. It went belly up with Jerry Hall because she wanted Rupert to provide some dosh for her kids by Mick but also, her chain smoking (which keeps her thin) drove him crazy.

He should never ever have left Anna, his second wife. She’s all class.

The greatest crime that has occurred in the past 20 years is telling girls they can do anything (including fighting wars) that women naturally rely on men for.

Civilisation is a successful union of the sexes. “Feminists” who oppose a union of the sexes are not only deluded, but are paving the way for violent non-Western men to fill the cultural gap that feminism is creating.

For cultural success, feminism needs male soyboys and eunichs to accept the cultural dominance of women who can’t establish political supremacy without the violent intervention of the state.

In other words, feminists need the Montys of this world to cut off their dicks and become transgender cultural eunuchs.

QED. Hope this helps.

Second World War pilot backs campaign for Typhoon to fly again
Bernard Gardiner flew the aircraft in the Second World War. Now a project to restore one to airworthiness is under way
Jack Malvern
Friday March 24 2023, 5.45pm GMT, The Times

In his final combat flight in a Hawker Typhoon, Bernard Gardiner was attacking an ammunition dump when it exploded in a burst of flame and dirt.

The debris flew so high that a fellow member of his flight was caught in it, the pilot, now 100, recalled.

“The top of his aircraft was littered with mud from the explosion,” Gardiner said. “That was about the last operation of the war.”

It was not long after Gardiner’s final combat operation that pilots flew their Typhoons to RAF Odiham, in Hampshire, for the last time.

“They were virtually scrapped from that time on. They never flew again,” he said.

Gardiner is hoping to live to see the British fighter aeroplane fly once again. The Second World War pilot has lent his support to a project that has almost completed a restoration of the monocoque fuselage of Typhoon RB396, which reached the end of its operational life abruptly in a field near Denekamp, in the Netherlands, on April 1, 1945.

Sam Worthington-Leese, who is leading the project, is holding a fundraiser on Saturday, April 1, to raise the final £50,000 for the fuselage before concentrating on other parts of the aircraft including the engine, wings and tail section.

Worthington-Leese, a commercial airline pilot, was inspired to run the project after learning that his grandfather, Roy Worthington, was flying a Typhoon when he was shot down over Europe in May 1944. Roy, who passed on pieces of his wrecked aircraft to his grandson, lived out the rest of the war in Stalag Luft III, the prison camp immortalised in the 1963 film The Great Escape.

Although there is one intact Typhoon, at the RAF Museum in Hendon, northwest London, it is not airworthy.

Worthington-Leese believes that the fighter, which was designed as a successor to the Hurricane and Spitfire but excelled at ground attacks, deserves the same acclaim as the fighters it replaced. He said that the Typhoon had been unfairly neglected.

“In my opinion it’s because the Spitfire and the Hurricane got their recognition because of the Battle of Britain, which took place in the skies above Britain so everybody saw it.

“The Typhoon’s main action was over the Continent. Arguably it wasn’t quite as good-looking as a Spitfire, although you can argue that no aircraft is.

“On the Continent [the Typhoon was] fighting over their heads, so they love it because they saw it as bringing their freedom.”

Worthington-Leese, who has raised £1 million so far, estimates that the cost of restoring RB396 will be between £5 million and £7 million.

RB396 was one of 3,317 built. Once restored it will be flown at airshows and memorial events to honour the 666 pilots who died at the controls of a Typhoon.

Gardiner recalled that before his first combat flight his commander told him to stick close behind him. He took the instruction literally, tucked in so tightly that when the lead aircraft fired its shells the links holding the ammunition together sprayed into his wings.

“I flew out into this and got quite a few of them stuck into the leading edges of my wings, which didn’t make me popular with the flight commander,” Gardiner said.

He said that he held the controversial view that Spitfires lacked the balance that made Typhoons such a joy to fly.

“That’s sacrilege, isn’t it?”

Gardiner said that he would be delighted to hear the roar of the Typhoon’s Napier Sabre engine once again.

“I can’t wait to see it fly and I hope they succeed, although I don’t think my eyesight would permit me to fly it now!”

And it is so by design.

As the non-conformist English Bible commentator Matthew Henry, whose chief work has never been out of print since the early 1700s, beautifully put it…

“The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.”

Be that as it may, the Chinese believe war should encompass every facet of human endeavour, and they are showing that precept every time they come in contact with us.

From TE’s quoted piece at 3.10:

Thousands rally against crime after Darwin bottleshop worker Declan Laverty’s alleged murder

Participants arrived at Parliament House holding homemade signs with messages such as ‘#justiceforDeclan’, ‘make Darwin safe again’ and ‘get tough on crime’.

The crowd gathered at Parliament House, which is at one end of Mitchell Street in what passes for Darwin’s CBD. After several speeches and general bonhomie, the crowd walked the length of Mitchell Street – which is full of nightclubs and a couple of bottleshops, and home to the backpacker industry – and turned down to a park at The Esplanade.

One single hour after the thousands-strong crowd walked past it, a couple of countrymen roared into the Mitchell Street Liquorland, stuck the joint up and legged it with a dozen bottles of grog.

This stuff really does write itself.

Trevor-Roper was an authority, he got caught out with The Hitler Diaries.
He’s been in MI6, so he was a Spook.
In 1973, Trevor-Roper was invited to visit Switzerland to examine a manuscript entitled Decadence Mandchoue written by the sinologist Sir Edmund Backhouse (1873–1944)
Trevor-Roper noted that despite his superficial appearance of affection for the Chinese, much of what Backhouse wrote about on China worked subtly to confirm Western “Yellow Peril” stereotypes,
as Backhouse variously depicted the Chinese as pathologically dishonest, sexually perverted, morally corrupt and generally devious and treacherous – in short, Chinese civilization for Backhouse was a deeply sick civilization.

Principal forced out after students shown Michelangelo’s David
March 25, 2023 — 4.17pm

Tallahassee, Florida: A Florida charter school principal has been forced to resign after a parent complained sixth graders were exposed to pornography during a lesson on Renaissance art that included Michelangelo’s David sculpture.

The Tallahassee Democrat reported that the principal, Hope Carrasquilla, of Tallahassee Classical School resigned this week after an ultimatum from the school board’s chairman.

One parent complained the material was pornographic and two other parents said they wanted to be notified of the lesson before it was given to their children, Carrasquilla said. The instruction also included Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam painting and Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.

“It saddens me that my time here had to end this way,” Carrasquilla told the paper

Tallahassee Classical School is reportedly required to teach Renaissance art to sixth-graders as part of the conservative Christian curriculum it follows.

However, a new rule was reportedly passed last month by the school board that made it compulsory for parents to receive a two-week warning before anything “potentially controversial” is taught.

Barney Bishop III, the chair of the school board, told the Democrat there were several issues with the outgoing principal but did not elaborate. He said parents at the school will have the chance to examine the curriculum and any photos used in it.

“Parental rights are supreme, and that means protecting the interests of all parents, whether it’s one, 10, 20 or 50,” he told the newspaper.

The David statue’s nudity has been part of a centuries-old debate about art pushing boundaries and the rules of censorship. In the 1500s, metal fig leaves covered the genitals of statues like David when the Roman Catholic Church deemed nudity as immodest and obscene.

The kerfuffle in Florida also prompted social media users to point out similarities to a 1990s episode of The Simpsons where characters debate the censorship of the David statue.

Shocking footage posted online shows a car burning brightly with flames soaring into the night sky, while other videos show several police cars chasing after allegedly stolen vehicles.

Meanwhile, one local said he had lost most of his possessions after a separate fire ripped through his family home, also burning down two other homes and several cars.

The fire, which destroyed properties in a rural area adjacent to Alice Springs’ airport, is believed to have been deliberately lit.

Businessman Darren Clarke, who often calls for greater action on crime in the outback town and has seen his bakery robbed dozens of times, made a passionate plea to Anthony Albanese to crack down on crime in the NT town in a call to Ben Fordham on 2GB.

‘We’ve had another night of total anarchy. Our CBD is full of youths, it’s full of drunks. It’s out of control. We’ve had businesses broken into. An indigenous TV station smashed up, a vehicle full of technical gear stolen.

‘We’ve got a car on fire in the K-Mart car park. Another car set on fire in another suburb. When does this stop?

‘Albanese, step up to the plate. Start looking after your people or this place is going to burn to the ground. Or you’ll have no one living here.

‘We’ve had enough. Prime Minister, govern for everyone. If not, then let someone else do it. This simply isn’t good enough anymore.’

One video shows Mr Clarke talking to police at the site of the burned out car in the K-Mart car park.

There, he is warned that he is in a crime scene, to which he replies: ‘The whole place is a crime scene.’

Mr Clarke, who also runs the Action for Alice Facebook group, posted several photos of the Imparja Television station, which was raided on Friday night.

Photos show heavy damage to the studio, with smashed walls and evidence of the offices being rifled through.

Meanwhile, another shocking video shows a gang of young men breaking into a business in the town.

Ben Crawford, owner of the business, shared CCTV of the raid.

He said: ‘Here we go again. It’s 1.45am Saturday morning, alarms activated earlier tonight. Both me and cops attend and yep they have broken in again, obviously looking for car keys.

‘Glad they got the decoy box off the wall in my office and got nothing.

‘Building has been made secure. Now to clean up the mess tomorrow morning after the forensic guys do their thing

‘NT government, this is the fifth time in two years. Start getting serious on crime, which you won’t because yet again we don’t exist and these kids are classed as naughty little children.’

Earlier this month, NT police revealed a drop in domestic violence calls, property offences and alcohol-related violence after the introduction of stricter alcohol laws in the territory.

However, a 20-year-old worker was stabbed to death at a Darwin bottle shop earlier this week, prompting more calls for action to tackle crime in the NT.

In January nationwide coverage of the crime wave led to Mr Albanese visiting the territory.

He pledged funding to tackle crime, including $25 million for community services, $2 million for the Tangentyere Women’s Council, $2 million for high visibility police operations and $2 million for extra lighting and street lamps for the area.

However, locals say he hasn’t done enough to stop violence in the area, with Mr Clarke adding: ‘You didn’t want to come up here. The media forced you to come up here. Well why don’t you come up here now, mate? See what’s left behind.

‘Don’t stay sitting on the lawns of western Sydney.’

Mr Clarke’s Action for Alice page recently returned to Facebook after serving a 28-day ban for bullying and harassment.

BTW Humphrey, there are surveys indicating that the traditional trend of voting more conservative as people age is still present but shrinking. Big problem …

Shrinking? If the age thing and voting tendency still applies then we should have more conservative governments as the population is ageing rapidly. Ageing demographics are a real thing. I tend to think that a lot of older people seem to be voting for green-left causes. Folks are very concerned with gerbil warming, particularly older sheilas. Brainwashing.

The younger generations are rapidly becoming the dominant demographic economically and politically. It doesn’t take a huge shift in voting preference to change an elections. The older generation is voting more green but Bear and myself are arguing about the future trend, when I’ll be dead.

I don’t like the brainwashing argument. There is a supercilious aspect to it, a certain arrogance suggesting I am the rational one you lot are idiots. If we take the OCEAN psych assessments seriously, progressives are more open to experience, more open to exploring new ideas, while conservatives are are followers. Peterson has even used his high openness score to argue he is not a conservative. I’m not surprised he scores highly on that, it is a marker for superior intelligence. However, ironically, his argument is nonsense because OCEAN is merely a statistical finding and he knows damn well that statistical results should not be extrapolated to individuals. I don’t accept his argument, nor I don’t think the brainwashing argument is good politics or well established.

Matt Kean comes across on the ABC as a sharp guy who keeps it real.

Wall to wall Labor, a complete f*cking nightmare. But am I upset that the Liberals have lost? Nope. And this means nothing, it was a twelve year old Liberal government, an old government.

Good grief, Parrothead is praising Minns to the skies.

The vast majority of people do not think for themselves and have their opinions assigned to them by the MSM. It’s just how humans are constructed. It doesn’t mean we’re dumb but we’re easily swayed.

The life of an average Australian adult can be easily mapped out. He goes to work, reads or listens to some news during the day, then goes home and watches the evening news. This is how opinions are formed in the burbs.

Cassie, there’s an old adage in trading commodities that I think also applies to politics. Lower prices begat higher prices and higher prices begat lower prices. Wall to wall labor or liberal will eventually return the opposite.

A bit early yet to launch the Flaaaaaagpies chant. However, early signs are good – particularly that it’s a group effort. Pendlebury’s been effective but muted. If he goes it’s not necessarily the end.

The Parrothead giving it up (again):

“I’m a total loser with a very, very punchable visage. That vile armenian slag, Bery Gladyschlocklian knew this when she gifted me this poisoned chalice back in late 2021.

I’ve been a placeholder until I’ve been able to hand the reins over to the minnimax to complete the destruction of this once mighty state, mate.”

As for the ever diminishing number of taxpayers, bend over and inhale mightily, I tells ya!

The Alice Springs business owner:

NT government, this is the fifth time in two years. Start getting serious on crime, which you won’t because yet again we don’t exist and these kids are classed as naughty little children.

BAM.

That is exactly how they’re classed by the NT judiciary, ably enabled by this idiotic government who employ battalions of hand-patters who all work 8.00 a.m. to 4.21 p.m., less public holidays and when they’re not taking cosmetic leave.

Every once in a while you hear them on the radio vainly attempting to defend their position by using phrases like ‘acting out’, ‘joyriding’ and ‘complex behaviours’.

Their behaviour – which is very much learned behaviour, mind – would be a lot less complex with a decent sized foot in the arse.
