A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. They were gazing lovingly at each other and were holding hands. The waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed the woman slowly sliding down her chair and under the table. The waitress watched as the woman slid all the way down her chair and out of sight under the table. The man stared straight ahead. The waitress, thinking this behavior a bit risqué and worried that it might offend other diners, went over to the table and, tactfully, began by saying to the man “Pardon me, sir, but I think your wife just slid under the table”. The man calmly looked up at her and said “No, she didn’t. She just walked in”.

Or wished not to be found for various reasons, probably related to actions during the war. Hence, change name, join the Foreign Legion, and get anonymity and later French citizenship after (IIRC) five years of “honourable” service. If they survived.
Does this include the Commonwealth troops who rejoined to fight the Norks in 1950-53?
The background was Germans fighting with French forces in Indo-China after WW II, so, NO.
Hehe, I had to google tiramisu. Nice one bro.
Bernard Fall’s classic account of the battle of Dien Bien Phu makes the point that the average age of the Legionnaires there was 23, so any Germans fighting there would have been in their Hister Youth shorts in 1945.

I buy the print edition of the Oz, so I am unable to read the 2500 comments in the Paywallian on La Langton. Am I correct in suspecting that not all of the comments are complimentary?
I buy the West Australian most days, mainly so that I can read the death notices (you can guess how old I am). Most of the West (with a few honourable exceptions) is junk, its editorial line is totally predictable. Last week, when Dutton announced that the Libs would not support the Voice, the finger-wagging social affairs editor advised Dutton that he had to move to the Left if he wanted younger readers to vote for him.
You may be aware of the violence that is endemic in some of WA’s outback towns. Any article on the subject in the West never mentions the ethnicity of those who commit the violence **, but I can tell you that they are members of the world’s oldest continuous civilisation, are deeply spiritual, and are born with a profound knowledge of the natural world that whites can never acquire.
** The only clues are comments about how Indigenous leaders are collaborating with police in trying to solve the problem.

It’s very simple, Baldrick – just like you.
First, we let the old goverments tax cut expire, blaming them for not making it permanent, and gaining $11 billion for our pork-barrelling. Of course, it’s too late for us to fix that now…
Then, next year, when the plebs have forgotten it all, we announce a tax cut of the exact same amount, making us heroes of the working class.
Our major donors get enough cash and pork to fling us a few percent in kick-back donations, and we look like we cut taxes – everyone wins. Well, everyone who matters anyway.
A truly cunning plan, my lord. But what if a journalist figures it out?
Don’t be ridiculous Baldrick. First of all, they’re all indoctrinated into our view anyway. And even if one somehow notices, the editors need our advertising money, so their not going to print it anyway. What could go wrong?
That’s actually an honor that belongs to the San Bushmen of Southern Africa….

We think it’s nice of the nation to have a long long weekend to celebrate with us!

Today with my friend, on her balcony overlooking the river, delicious prawns, buttered bread, lemon, marie rose sauce, chilled white wine, coffee and dark chocolates. My friend’s best beloved does not eat seafood, very sad but he makes good coffee.
I am constantly amazed at the quality of seafood available to us.

The Stopped Clock phenomenon – again.
What makes the public different from us political junkies at the Cat is that most normal people couldn’t give a stuff about politics and just want the government to leave them alone — an increasingly forlorn hope.
As governments drift leftward, they increasingly adopt the left’s mantra that everything is political all the time — even though leftards are shit at politics and hate democracy.
Mass immigration has destroyed the “Australian Project”, exactly as intended.

Remember that basic rule of grammar when signing off on your next note to Mother.
“Have a period when people can move freely to the colour they prefer, perhaps exchanging houses.”
Balkanising the USA is the wet dream of every communist regime since WWI – and I am not convinced we won’t be severely damaged by the fallout of an inward looking USA, too focused on it’s own internal issues to play any part in geopolitics. What chance has Australia against China if the US doesn’t answer our call for help? Would the UK or Europe help us without US backing?
The 2nd US civil war will start the same way the first did – some states will ignore federal law, and others will secede due to the refusal of the federal government to enforce federal law. The same “blood and money” argument will ensue, and lead to war.
The movement of large numbers over state lines has already geographically polarised much of the US, and it’ll only get worse – already, some states like Texas ban abortion and “gender affirming care”, while others like California are exactly opposite. What happens if a woman takes her son across state lines from Texas to Colorado and has him castrated against the fathers wishes and Texas law? Or has an abortion at 8 months? No matter which side the feds take, violence will ensue at some point, and if it becomes political – and it inevitably will – it will only become worse.
This is inevitable unless the Republicans absolutely smash the Dems in 2024, Donald Trump fires a lot of deep staters, and a Republican congress actually has the balls to undo the huge damage Dems have done. That’s the only hope I see, and it seems a slim hope that it happens and in time to prevent the communists from enslaving us (from both inside and out).

Indeed. The mix of ideologies would not be a major issue if the dominant ideology had a broadly live-and-let-live attitude to other ideologies, but it doesn’t.
The unfortunate problem is that one ideology is demanding absolute superiority, and is making it quite clear that any other ideologies must accept a subordinate position.

Andrew Bolt:
There’s a sickness in our culture. More Australians claiming to be good are acting like the monsters they say they’re fighting.
Example one: campaigners for Labor’s Voice to parliament.
They claim to be fighting haters, and – as Voice campaigner Noel Pearson told the ABC last week – must “meet hate with love”. (chortle)
But all the hate I’m hearing in the media is going the other way, especially since the Liberals under Peter Dutton respectfully said no to the Voice.
There was no love from Pearson, who smeared Dutton as an “undertaker” who “doesn’t mind chucking Indigenous Australians … under the bus” with his “Judas betrayal”.
Last November, Pearson similarly abused Nationals leader David Littleproud as “Littlepride”, and called him a “boy” and “kindergarten child” leading a “squalid” party that “couldn’t give a stuff” about Aborigines.
He also abused Nationals senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, an eloquent Voice opponent, as a careerist controlled by racist “string pullers” wanting “a blackfella to punch down on other blackfellas”.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews predictably joined the hate-fest last week by vilifying the Liberals as “a mean, nasty outfit”.
Voice architect Marcia Langton called Dutton a liar; former Liberal minister Ken Wyatt accused his old party of looking racist, and Greens senator Dorinda Cox accused it of “catering to racist ideologies”.
Where was the love?
Example 2: transgender activists. They claim to fight for tolerance, or, as Tasmanian Greens leader Casey O’Connor put it, to demonstrate “love and support” against “vile, transphobic” feminists such as Kellie-Jay Kean, who held rallies last month around Australia.
But these “loving” protesters in Hobart and Melbourne screamed abuse at Kean and shouted her down, attacking police and once grabbing Kean’s microphone.
Andrews called Kean “nasty” and “hateful” and falsely accused her of standing with Nazis.
In Auckland, Kean was hit, pelted with liquid and doused with tomato juice, and a 72-year-old female supporter was punched repeatedly in the head by a man protesting for tolerance.
What’s happening to us?
It seems a certain kind of bully is looking for a moral cause not because it’s particularly good, but because it’s a licence to hate with a pack.
That’s why there’s so little interest in debate, and so much in using these causes to smash people instead.
We’re disintegrating into tribes, where hate rules and reason is dead.

A house divided against itself cannot stand, and the US is now at least as divided as it was in 1860. While ever the fascist leftards of the DemonRat Party demand absolute subordination to every crazed idea they come up with, the US will be at risk of civil war.
A (relatively) peaceful partition would leave two nations. One (the Blue Group, not all states will divide neatly) will be hot on every insane fad that we have seen during the last couple of decades. The other (the Red Group) is likely to look largely inward, but still be willing to help like-minded friends in need.
Our problem is that our self-selected “elites” are more in sympathy with the insanity of the Blues. We need to alter that.

Blot is a very persuasive opinion writer — his first love as a newspaperman.
I can’t stand him on TV because he’s arrogant and talks over his guests. He loathes the opinions of those who dissent from his view of the world.
That makes him a terrible interviewer — unlike the late Mike Willesee, for example, whose first love was TV and was the best interviewer on Australian TV history.
In my opinion, Blot may be a good writer, but he’s not a good journalist because he has lost his curiosity about the the world and the universe.
At 7pm on week nights, when Blot is on, I’m usually watching Nein’s A Current Affair, the last show on Australian TV that defends the Australian middle class — except when it comes to politics, when almost all ACA journos revert to their tribal support for the Greens and the ALP.

It’s to the eternal shame of the current crop of MSM groupies that Luigi was able to condemn Dutton today for not giving the shadow cabinet a free vote on The Voice.

THE STRANGENESS OF THE RESURRECTION
by John Wilson
4 . 7 . 23
I know many people who find the very notion of “resurrection” preposterous, not to mention “eternal life.” Some of them I know in person, some via reading only. Many of them I love and respect. For these people, arguments about the subject are beside the point. Some of them—like the science fiction writer, scholar of nineteenth-century British literature, and irrepressible polymath Adam Roberts—say that, apart from the absurdity of any belief in an “afterlife,” they find the notion of living “forever” extremely repugnant, nightmarish. Others say they’d like to believe but find it impossible to do so.

Indeed.
As an aside, back in the 1980s, a new Anglican Bishop of Durham was appointed. This was controversial, because he had announced his lack of belief in the resurrection.
His installation was to take place in York Minster one Saturday. The Saturday before the installation, York Minster was struck by lightning. IIRC, this was about the time the ceremony was to take place the following Saturday. The cartoonists had a field day, on the themes of “Waddya mean it is next week” and “Ooops, sorry, wrong day”.

My friend of today’s lunch is a bridge tragic (a long weekend is almost necessary to arrange a lunch date, so committed is she to bridge). She reported that she sees a lot of support for “trans” people among the bridge players, a lot have children/grandchiildren involved, and support them. One woman was almost physically violent when my friend explained her belief that children needed their mother’s care and attention, and this would avoid children’s confusion. My friend had apparently offended on two counts, querying a woman’s right to climb the corporate ladder at the cost of raising her children, and questioning the capacity of children to make life changing decisions for themselves.

Threads & Thread Systems
Gear | Threads and threaded fasteners are seemingly such simple things, but they literally hold much of our modern world together. The first inventor of threads is not known for sure, but some sources say Archytas of Tarentum (428 BC-350 BC) used them in presses for olives and grapes.
Threads are actually a type of wedge wrapped around a cylinder. The slimmer the wedge, (more threads per inch) the more force the thread can apply when turned.
You have probably noticed that every trade has its secret language, and it will be helpful now to list some of the special terms used when speaking about threads. Later in this article you will find that certain types of common threads have been called by different names over the years. This is just part of the richness of our language, but it can be a little confusing at first.

S O M E T H R E A D T E R M S
Nominal size: The designation used to identify the thread. For instance: 1/2-20, which is nominally 1/2 inch diameter.
Actual Size: The actual measured size of a particular thread.
Major Diameter: The largest diameter of a straight screw thread. This term applies to both internal and external threads.
Minor Diameter: The smallest diameter of a straight screw thread. This term applies to both internal and external threads.
Pitch Diameter: On a perfect straight thread this is the diameter where the widths of the threads and grooves are the same.
Basic Form of Thread: The theoretical profile of the thread.
Pitch: The distance from a point on one thread to the same point on the next thread, measured parallel with the axis.
Lead: The distance a screw thread advances axially in one turn. In a thread with two “starts”, the lead will be twice the pitch.
Angle of Thread: The angle between the sides of a thread measured in an axial plane.
Crest: The top surface of a thread
Root: The bottom surface of a thread
Flank: The surface connecting the root and crest.
Fit: The closeness between two mating surfaces.
Depth of Engagement: The depth of thread contact of two mating threads, measured radially.
Craftsmen and machinists have long made threads of sizes, angles, and pitches that seemed right to them, but of course the various threads were not interchangeable. Even as late as 1930 there were over 30 different thread standards in use. Here in our town the saddlemaker uses Landis, and Champion sewing machines, and many of the screws and bolts on them have unusual sizes and pitches. When he needs new screws and bolts on the machines, I often have to use my lathe gearing to cut the odd pitches.
We take it for granted today that we can buy, for instance, a 1/2 inch coarse thread bolt from any supplier, and it will fit properly any 1/2 inch coarse thread nut from another supplier. This interchangeability is a relatively modern development spurred in some measure by the needs of war machinery.
The brilliant British engineer, Joseph Whitworth, (1803-1887) devised a thread system in 1841 that was adopted by the British railways, and soon by other industries. Called the Whitworth Thread, it has a vee form thread with 55 degree angle and rounded crest and root. The Whitworth Thread is still in use today, and if you have older British cars or motorcycles you will be familiar with it. The Whitworth Thread system is the basis of the U. S. National Standard and Unified National Standard Thread, and all sizes and pitches are the same through 1-1/2 inches, except for the 1/2 inch size where the US uses 13 threads per inch instead of 12.
In older books you may see references to the Sellers or Franklin Institute Thread. William Sellers in 1864 proposed the 60 degree angle and the other specifications that were adopted in the United States as our standard thread. The Franklin Institute, of Philadelphia, appointed a committee in 1864 to investigate and report on screw threads, and they recommended adoption of the Sellers thread. Over time the Sellers vee form Thread was modified very slightly in some dimensions, and it became the United States Standard Thread or the National Standard Thread. The United States Standard Thread was approved for use in the United States naval service in 1868, and in 1871 the Master Car Builders’ Association recommended it for construction of locomotives and railway cars. Manufacturers throughout the United States soon recognized the advantages of the National Standard Thread, and its use spread widely. Later, the National Standard Thread was re-named the Unified National Standard Thread, and it was adopted in 1948 by America, Britain, and Canada to eliminate confusion of threads used on war equipment.
The Unified National Standard Thread has a thread angle of 60 degrees instead of the 55 degree angle used on the Whitworth thread. Mechanics have been known to mix Unified and Whitworth fasteners, but this is an unwise practice, since the thrust surfaces of the mismatched threads have different angles. Note also that the Unified Thread has crests and roots that are flattened, while the Whitworth has rounded crests and roots. The Whitworth form is greatly superior in fatigue strength, and we will discuss why a bit later.
Although the 60 degree thread angle of the U.S. and metric systems is the most common one, other angles have been used for vee form threads. The Lowenherz Thread uses 53 degrees 8 minutes, and the Swiss Thury and the British Association Threads use 47 – 1/2 degrees. A ‘Jewelers Thread’ used even today for precious metals such as silver, gold, and platinum has a thread angle of 80 degrees.
The Whitworth standard once so common in England and its colonies has been largely superseded by the Unified National Standard, although untold numbers of older British vehicles and pieces of equipment still need Whitworth and British Standard Fine fasteners to keep them repaired.
In the American and English systems, threads are typically specified by the major diameter and the threads per inch: for example, 5/8 inch-11. The Metric system uses major diameter and distance between threads (pitch): for example, 10 MM X 1.25 MM There have been several different metric standards used by various European countries over the years, but the main one today is the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Metric Thread. It has a 60 degree thread angle with flattened root and crest, and is of course in metric sizes and pitches.
There are some unusual threads that mix both metric, and threads per inch; for example: “Italian” bicycle threads have 36 MM diameter X 24 threads per inch for bottom brackets, and 2.2MM diameter X 56 threads per inch for spokes.

“The last war we can afford to fight”: Tucker Carlson sounds alarm over de-dollarization, slams Biden Admin for pissing off world
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has picked up on this, big time, noting that the process began after the Biden administration started wielding the dollar as a political weapon by freezing US dollars held by Russians.
Carlson cites an article from the Daily Caller, in which authors E.J. Antoni and Peter St. Onge write:
A second critical feature of a reserve currency is its apolitical nature. Which Biden is now gutting. After both parties in Washington destroyed the dollar’s stability with inflation, now the Biden administration has chosen to wield the dollar as a weapon.
Together, the message to foreigners they should get out while they still can.
In response to Russia’s war with the Ukraine, the US froze the dollar reserves of Russia’s central bank.
To be clear, these were not American assets, but were dollars owned by the Russian central bank and the Russian people.
The seizure was intended to cause bank runs and collapse Russia’s credit system. It didn’t work.
Instead, it exposed the Biden administration’s willingness to violate the trillions of dollars foreigners rightfully own. The danger of this precedent is difficult to overstate.
This part is a must-hear from Carlson in response to the above (starts at 7:15 in the video below):
“Smart foreigners started to dump the US dollar.
Why? Because the US dollar was no longer a reliable store of power.
Suddenly it was a political weapon that could be wielded at will against anyone who held it.
“So what if you have a border dispute with your neighbor that the State Department hadn’t authorized? Or, what if you accidentally criticized transgender theology, and irritated the human rights campaign?
Well, the US government might denounce you as immoral and then confiscate all your money. Because they just did that with Russia.
“And as a result, dollars begin to look much less appealing to the rest of the world – and so de-dollarization began, and it has accelerated at remarkable speed, almost without comment in the American media, over the last year.
“So Russia announced it will conduct business in Asia, Africa and Latin America in Chinese currency. Brazil, which as a brand new government supported by the Biden administration announced it will do the same thing… Pakistan is doing the same thing, that’s a long-time US ally. India and Malaysia, two of the biggest economies in the world, announced they’ll be settling their trade in their own currencies – not the dollar.
Even France, which we liberated, is using Chinese currency in a new liquefied natural gas trade. China and Saudi Arabia are now major business partners.”
Carlson also points out that nobody wants to hold a currency that continues to devalue due to endless printing, calling it “6th grade economics.”
And while Biden “is continuing to send the contents of our treasury – our dollars, to corrupt oligarchs in eastern Europe and around the world,” at the very same time, “he’s selling off America’s most valuable hard asset – that’s our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, because unlike the US dollar, oil – which is in the reserve, has inherent value … so unlike fiat currencies like the dollar, oil will always have value. That’s why Russia is not now in poverty because they have a lot of oil. But we have less because the SPR has been drained.”
What could reverse this? Ending the war in Ukraine, says Carlson. But US politicians are hell-bent on winning at all cost
And in a Wednesday op-ed, Carlson writes:
War always is a destabilizing event. It always challenges the existing order, but it was the West’s reaction to the Russian invasion that seemed too ominous.
Policy makers in the U.S. went insane. Joe Biden, helped by his Republican allies in the Senate, appear to be determined not simply to topple the Russian government in some kind of regime change war, but to blow up the postwar economic order that had served the U.S. so generously for so long.
So, we thought at the time that the real threat to our future wasn’t just the billions we were sending to Zelenskyy. That was reckless, but probably not going to end America.
The real threat was the unprecedented economic sanctions that Joe Biden was allowed to, in fact, encourage to impose. Those sanctions, you’ll recall, were supposed to hurt Russia, but even in March of last year, it seemed obvious they were going to hurt the United States much more than they hurt Russia.
Here’s what we said 13 months ago:
We should prepare to lose our position as holder of the world’s reserve currency. That is happening in slow motion. It’s unmistakable.
Now, the Biden people seem to have no idea this is going on or maybe they want it to happen.
Joe Biden was up there at the State of the Union bragging about how he took 30 points off the Russian ruble in a single day. Hurray. Good for us, but once we stop celebrating our win, the destruction of the Russian economy, they deserve it. You have got to wonder, is there a downside to this? Could it be a pyrrhic victory? Let’s see.
These policies have driven Russia, China, India, Turkey and other countries to accelerate their flight from the U.S. dollar. Let’s be clear. That’s the majority of the global economy.
This may be the most reckless and destructive thing any American president has ever done to the United States.

From the Comments
– “War against Russia will be the last war we can afford to fight.”
Does that go for the rest of the West as well?
– In one word, yes. Waging a war requires production of steel and armaments, and those take prodigious amounts of energy.
How is Germany going to build tanks (60 tons of steel) when all its industries are shutting down and moving abroad because energy is too expensive there?
What you gonna do with all those unemployed workers? Send them to Ukraine as cannon fodder? (Wait… forget I suggested that.)
How are you going to make helmets for your soldiers when the Taiwanese chips in their goggles go from $50 to $5,000?
How are you going to build planes when titanium goes from $10 an ounce to $1,000? The Euro is going to follow the Dollar down the drain too.
– They stole from those who supported the Canadian truckers – a small-scale theft….and then they stole from Russia – a large scale theft

Had to replace the kitchen mixer tap some years ago. Bought a new one. Flexible hoses didn’t fit the wall pipe fittings (there are two standards). Bought the other size. Still didn’t fit. After several more trips to hardware store ran into an old bloke employed at the local Masters store (retired plumber) who enquired as the house build date. Turns out at the time there was a bloke in Clifton who was making the first compression fittings for plumbing. As he didn’t want to be copied easily he invented his own wildcat thread. Nothing you can buy fits it (bloke disappeared in direction of USA and made a fortune). Had to buy new fittings, cut the old ones off and fortunately there was enough length of copper sticking out the wall to fit new fittings.
A word of warning about those crummy flexible hoses on these kind of fittings. When they burst (not if) you will suffer a flood.
Recently had to replace that mixer tap. Got a new one and adapters and replaced the flex hoses with hard 1/2″ copper. Great peace of mind especially in a two story house. We used to turn off water and power to hot water when leaving the house for a day or more.
To my knowledge, nobody’s ever spent their last breaths thinking ‘Geez I wish I’d been more of an atheist.’

That’s actually an honor that belongs to the San Bushmen of Southern Africa….
Wrong.
From Wikipedia: The San peoples (also Saan), or Bushmen, are the members of the indigenous hunter-gatherer cultures of southern Africa, and the oldest surviving cultures of the region.
Let’s stress this again: Culture, NOT civilization.
Paleolithic hunter-gatherer cultures are not a civilization.
They are extremely well adapted to survive a harsh environment but are a loooong way from having the societal structures, language achievements and material advancements which define a civilized society.
Agreeing with the lying, dissembling evil leftards, playing their game by their rules, on their terrain is no way to combat the culture wars.

KD – similar thoughts to me after killing one of the station cats after watching it kill a lizard over breakfast one morning. I didn’t actually intend to but it ate the strychnine bait the old man had left in the cage. Curiously, the same thing happened to the other one.

Meanwhile in Sydney:
Inner West Council has been slammed with complaints after being accused of bungling a swimming pool-centred Pride event for transsexual and gender-diverse people.
The council was forced to issue a list of improvements it would make to future events, after it hosted its third “Trans and Gender Diverse Swim” at Ashfield Aquatic Centre.
It came after feedback from some of those attending took aim at the council, with complaints seen by The Telegraph including allegations that “trans people were stared and gawked at in disgust” by members of the public at the pool.
The complaints also included that “there was no ‘exclusive use’ of any area” for members of the trans and gender-diverse community.
“The whole point of this event is providing safety in a usually unsafe space,” one complaint said, adding there was a lack of security and check-in options usually provided by LGBTQI+ community groups such as Dykes on Bikes.

To watch Jack the Cat hunting birds in the wildlife preserve that was the backyard when I was a very callow teenager was to watch a true artist in action. The effectively invisible ground hugging rapid movement resulting in the killer coil sprung leap would result in a very ungracious thud.

Switch on to ‘Art Works’ on ‘Their’ at 1630 on Sundays.
It is a show wholly devoted to pissing on you tax payers by celebrating the fact that your hard earned is paying for a freak whorehouse and there is nothing you can do about it.
Even the term ‘Works’ is a calculated FU.
The show is populated by freaks and Martians who celebrate absolute fringe FU pretending to be art. Well; not really pretending to be art, they are exclusively celebrating FU.
It goes well beyond the now passe arts arrogance of declaring their kiddy like doodles as ‘confronting’. The Cat dictionary defines ‘confronting’ as “yeah, it is crap but you are not permitted to say so”.

He was chuffed that he had just received a fancy new Tesla as his work car.
He celebrated that it only costs him ten quid to recharge it. Living in a communist Chilterns dormitory town, he recharges it with council street rechargers.
The remainder of the conversation concerned the 130% increase in his domestic power bills and an incredible 200% increase in council tax.
But, the Tesla is cheap to charge!!

Leftism relies on the worst in human nature, and I despise it. And Cassie was right to point out how nasty and violent the tranny supporters are.
Serious Christians are mostly good people; I think they are fooling themselves, but I also think the goodness is important.
