Get Jeeves to drive you down there for a run, wind the window down & tell the yokels they’re stoopid hicks.
Then order Jeeves to drive back north, to where folks is decent & got manners ‘n’ stuff.
Look at Captain Kebab “reframing”.
While you’re down there, tell the hicks that they got no honour – if there’s one thing the south is known for it’s having no honour – right?
Then tell them you welched on a bet – while telling them they’re too dumb to work on your car – heck they prolly say “wrench” when they mean “spanner” & all sorts of other stoopid things.
We all know German car makers hire dumbass goofballs to staff their service centres – Yep, yessiree, you’re one smart Manhattan type guy – so superior to them southern hicks.
If the rednecks get stroppy – just point out to them that they can’t hit you, coz they’re paid less than you, & they’re stoopider.
A double whammy for them – they won’t know what to do, but at least you’ll be safe.
Look at Capt. Kebab continuing to reframe, obviously experiencing a strong emotional reaction.

Did you mention a “solid state” battery being developed by someone?
I didn’t get the link, but today I saw an article that both VW and Tesla are working on a ‘dry’ battery, is that the same or something different?
Probably out by 2027 if all goes well.
Solid state to me implies a different matter, I’m not in electronics, wouldn’t know but always thought solid state is sort of a silicon or germanium based component.
Amazing how the voltages for EVs are increasing from the early years, now they are talking about 600 Volts.

Got as far as Stow on the Wold and the GPS died. Kaput. Fortunately the battery life lasted long enough for me to transcribe the highway numbers to our final destination before it gave up the ghost. Get Apple Maps I hear you say. Well…that’s definitely going to happen now. The culprit is a faulty USB converter, which will be replaced tomorrow. Thank you AVIS.
So, the upshot was that we didn’t get to Ludlow, but instead took many back roads* to the M40 around Birmingham and wended out way across to Shrewsbury. Basically blind apart from a list of road numbers, no maps at all. A nutritious G&T and a couple of beers has settled frazzled nerves. Our hotel hosts couldn’t believe we could do the trip the way we did.
And there I was yesterday admiring those intrepid Arctic explorers!
* including The Fosse Way, which was an ancient Roman route across from Bath to the north east. So not a total loss.

I was sitting besides an interesting dude on the LA NY leg of the flight. I was traipsing through Catallaxy, and he read some of the postings, concluding I was a Trump supporter as there were pro-Trump posts where and when I was leafing through. That made him very happy, as he said he loved Trump.
Anyway, like most Americans, he told me his life story in 38 seconds. He has homes in San Fran, NYC and Miami and said he worked in private equity as a private investor.
He reckons there are almost no Trump supporters in SF, but surprisingly lots in NY. He’s Jewish and said there are a decent number of his NY friends, also Jewish, who are big Trump supporters.
SF, he said, was going to shit and will take ages to recover, if at all. He’s not pessimistic about NYC. We spoke about Florida, and he said he just wasn’t sure about DeSantis as he has a gay son and believes DeSantis is anti-gay, whereas Trump couldn’t give a toss.
You asked earlier about the feels here and that’s one random feels I picked up.
And just to top off one of those holiday “days of the unexpected”, it’s Father’s Day here in the UK and all the restaurants are booked out.
Tongues lolling out, like the Man From Ironbark we wandered up and down until we found a pub…no tables for a couple of hours. No worries. Done. Booked. And now it’s raining. 🙂
Here’s some music that encapsulates our day. Composed on something found abandoned in an alleyway.
Don’t believe Sports Illustrated. We were having lunch yesterday and Martha was at the other end of the restaurant. Trust me, she looks all of 80 years old and no amount of photoshopping those Sports Illustrated pics will change the fact that she’s octogenarian

From The Oz…the problem with the bulldust that is “believe all women” and when DPPs become politicised.
“Credibility brushed over when mentally ill claim rape: judges
By STEPHEN RICE
Defence lawyers have urged DPP Sally Dowling to hold an inquiry into what they said appeared to be a growing tendency by prosecutors to ignore issues of credibility in complainants suffering severe mental illness.
Judges and lawyers have warned that prosecutors are failing to properly assess the credibility of rape complainants diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and refusing to disclose evidence of mental illness to the defence.
A recent rape trial of two men was discontinued in the NSW District Court after it emerged prosecutors were aware of the complainant’s significant mental illness and history of false sexual assault allegations.
The judge in the case sympathised with a claim by the men’s legal counsel that “this case appears to be yet another example of a glaringly improbable allegation being made by a gravely psychiatrically ill complainant, being shepherded through the criminal justice system by police and prosecutors who are seemingly determined to ignore obvious issues of credibility and reliability”. The NSW Director of Public Prosecutions had told the defence that “while the Crown does have some knowledge in relation to the mental health history the Crown will not be disclosing any private information pertaining to the complainant”.
That was a clear breach of the DPP’s duty of disclosure, the defence said.
The Australian understands this is one of a number of cases where borderline personality disorder has emerged as a key issue in sexual assault trials in NSW. A senior legal source said: “The phenomenon of personality disorders driving improbable and unbelievable allegations of sexual assault is real. So too is the refusal of police and prosecutors to engage with this reality. The ‘believe all women’ mantra has no place in the criminal justice system and is wildly inapposite when one is talking about the significant cohort of allegations made by deeply troubled complainants, especially those afflicted with BPD.”
Actor Johnny Depp’s defamation case against former girlfriend Amber Heard last year turned the spotlight on BPD after a psychologist diagnosed Heard with the condition, said to cause patterns of emotional instability and attention-seeking behaviour.
In the most recent NSW District Court case, lawyers for the two accused men relied heavily on expert evidence as to the psychological nature of BPD. Their application submitted that: “The research in this area supports as a general proposition that the extreme emotional dysregulation, reactivity and instability of persons with borderline personality traits makes them more likely than the general population to lie, confabulate and reconstruct.”
The DPP eventually dropped the charges but then – unsuccessfully – fought an application by the men for costs.
The men, aged 24 and 31, had flirted with a woman who worked at a licensed premises in a NSW town. After finishing work she drove them to her house where they continued drinking. She alleged that both men kissed her and touched her against her will, including digitally penetrating her. All the criminal charges related to these events.
However, as judge Gordon Lerve noted, there was “further sexual conduct which occurred soon thereafter and which is not the subject of any charges”.
The woman had walked one of the men into her bedroom, where they had consensual sex. “I observe that it is unusual that … the charges are brought in respect of conduct before the complainant and the men entered the bedroom but no charges in respect of what occurred in the bedroom,” Judge Lerve said. Neither man had any criminal record.
Even before evidence was obtained of the woman’s psychiatric history, defence lawyers wrote to the DPP asking that the case be dropped because her statement was “strongly suggestive of a mental illness or disorder”.
The DPP’s refusal to drop the case led the defence to issue a number of subpoenas, revealing the woman had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder.
The subpoena also led to the discovery the woman previously made a false allegation of sexual abuse against her brother, having apparently recovered a memory of events years afterwards when a school friend made similar allegations against a sibling.
That allegation would have been inadmissable at any trial because of statutory protections that exclude evidence of an alleged sexual assault victim’s past sexual activity or experience. It was able to be assessed by Judge Lerve only because he was dealing with an application by the two men for costs, not a criminal trial.
Judge Lerve noted the prosecuting authorities were well aware of the woman’s false accusations and her mental health history but had refused to disclose it to the defence on privacy grounds.
He also noted a claim by defence counsel that the case was “yet another example …. of police and prosecutors who are seemingly determined to ignore obvious issues of credibility and reliability”. The prosecutor complained that the statement was “nothing short of offensive”. But Judge Lerve said: “Having presided over a number of sexual assault trials … which to my mind were in fact doomed to failure from the outset, one can well understand the frustration of counsel.”
He found it was, “extremely difficult – if not well-nigh impossible – to perceive how the tribunal of fact could be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt” in the case.
The judge accepted there was no “playbook by which victims of trauma are supposed to behave” but “it is quite extraordinary that someone who was subjected to the indignities and criminal behaviour which the complainant says she was subjected to earlier in the events would then willingly encourage consensual sexual activity with one of the men involved in inflicting those indignities”.
In their application to discontinue the case, defence lawyers urged DPP Sally Dowling to hold an inquiry into what they said appeared to be a growing tendency by prosecutors to ignore issues of credibility in complainants suffering severe mental illness.”

Thanks to commenters yesterday who clarified that the Wanganeens are SA based.
The Wanganeen I used to know lived in Melbourne, but must have been a transplant. Very smart and shrewd political operator, probably learned at Mum and Dad’s knee. I gather the family has a fair bit of collective clout in Indig politics.
They all are. TPC carve outs, restrictive trade practices, sweet heart deals, Canberra lobbying … it goes on. Individual pharmacists may be great but collectively they are no friend of the consumer.
“So The Australian is this morning reporting that Angus Campbell has directed all SAS to wear body cameras. Is there no end to this insanity?”
Indeed, and as mentioned upthread we also should make Angus Campbell, the rest of the army top brass, along with our scummy parasitic politicians, also wear body cameras on the job. That old adage applies here…what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander.
There’s your problem. Young women afflicted with this are often very handsy themselves, cuddly and express their love physically. I’m not being a smart arse here. They can be very affectionate and flattering, then not only change their mood but change their mind and be very vindictive.

Alexander Shuglin would have been a great personal pharmacist.
“They all are. TPC carve outs, restrictive trade practices, sweet heart deals, Canberra lobbying … it goes on. Individual pharmacists may be great but collectively they are no friend of the consumer.”
Nup. My local pharmacy is great, it’s a family run business and it’s always helpful to me and other locals. It isn’t a “Chemist Warehouse”. And why shouldn’t pharmacies lobby? Everyone else does. To equate a family run chemist with big pharma is ridiculous.

I’ve got a crush on my pharmacist. She’s a posh Zimbabwean, reliable flirt, and has been correct about all aspects of the China Virus from the get-go and not afraid to vocalize it either.
Nonetheless- the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is a protectionist cartel. I’ve got limited sympathy if they are betrayed by their enabling partners in Government, or threatened by the Colesworth behemoth.
I don’t doubt many of them are. It would be paying licence fees to some umbrella group or other. The fact it is on the ground at all means it is part of the racket. Try opening a pharmacy next door to them and see how you get on.
I wouldn’t be putting one of those on my Z4 unless I was getting mates’ rates from a good panel shop.

Estrogen fluctuations, oral contraceptives and borderline personality
Results from three studies suggest fluctuation in estrogen level may influence the expression of borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms. In the first study, 226 women were administered the Personality Assessment Inventory, borderline scales (PAI-BOR; L.C. Morey, The Personality Assessment Inventory, Professional Manual, 1991) and a questionnaire that assessed time in menstrual cycle and use of oral contraceptives, that is synthetic estrogens. BPD symptoms were most common in women using oral contraceptives and during times in the menstrual cycle when estrogen level is rising. In Study 2, 52 women were measured four times across one menstrual cycle and provided salivary samples at each test session. The samples were assayed and estrogen levels were obtained. The principle finding was that variation in estrogen levels predicted the presence of BPD symptoms (r=0.4, p<0.01). This relationship remained significant when a general increase in negative affect was statistically controlled. Study 3 employed a pre-post Oral Contraceptive (OC) design with a control group. It was found that for women with high pre-existing levels of BPD, symptoms became significantly worse after starting pill use (F (3,42)=4.7; p<0.01). Research findings that link the serotonin system and estrogen are reviewed and theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

I’ll order a hundred when the 2024 version gets drafted- who’s getting the MAGA hats this time? Was that you H.B.?
“I don’t doubt many of them are. It would be paying licence fees to some umbrella group or other. The fact it is on the ground at all means it is part of the racket. Try opening a pharmacy next door to them and see how you get on.”
Nup, again, inappropriate analogy. Anway, try opening a cafe next door to an existing cafe and then see what happens.
Anyway, those same people who compare a local family run chemist to “big pharma”…well, these new government script regulations will simply make small pharmacies extinct and all we’ll then have are those huge chemist warehouses, which are, strangely enough, part of “big corp”.
Labor always talks about making other people pay their ‘fair share’ – a childish formulation which in children usually means everyone getting the same number of lollies.
As adults no one thinks they are not paying their fair share. What Labor does is use this term to persuade people that they will be not be burdening you (whoever they are talking to) “because you do pay your fair share, right?” Must be other people! They are going to pay!
I mentioned one of Sartre’s famous lines the other day, “Hell is other people.” But it is perhaps closer to the original meaning referring to the disconnect between a person’s thinking of themselves and how they are perceived (as an object) by others if I tweak it as “OPM is other people”.
No one sees their money as “other people’s money”, but other people do.

I presume pharmacies face halving of their income from dispensing fees, plus need to increase their stock on hand by fifty percent. Anything else?
Personally I’d be happy to minimise doctor and pharmacy visits merely to collect scripts.
Both the monthly GP visit and the dispensing seems like ticket clipping to me.

Probably Tasmania will be a No to da Voice. In the inner Hobart cafe set, and the loonie Green element – stronger there than anywhere else in Oz, IMO – the No will of course be the mantra.
Outside that lot, the average Tasmanian has had a gutful of white aboriginals demanding money, the signage changes – Mt Wellington is now kunayi/Mt Wellington for example – and the grabs for land. In the privacy of the voting booth they will get their revenge.
OK.
Up until 3-4 years ago you could get your full 6 month prescription filled in one go.
We then moved to monthly dispensing apparently because “a lot of drugs were wasted when prescribed medications changed”.
I doubted this, and if the doctor thought it likely that medication may change, he/she could just note that on the prescription.
You had to produce airline tickets and a letter from the bishop to get two months supply at once.
My question is, did dispensing fees reduce when they went to monthly dispensing?
Hey Dot. Have had two female Borderline Personalities in my life so have had a bit of experience. “Poor Me” was the distinctive complaint. Interestingly, this was for good reason – for both were wedded to men who could accurately (though medically undiagnosed) as having Narcissistic Personality Disorder..
Both women were often driven to distraction by the incessant criticism & belittlement they suffered. One self harmed & the other just put up with it. In one case , the narcissism of the husband declined in his old age & thankfully, both were able to enjoy a relatively good relationship in old age. He was devastated when she died before him.
My mother’s once very varied shopping strip boasted shoe shops, a foundation garment specialist, two small supermarkets, two pharmacies, one at each end, now it’s got at least 7 cafes and only one pharmacy, it’s very easy to put a cafe next to a cafe, there wasn’t a squeak from my local when a new one went it, it just got killed by covid instead.
pharmacy locations are tightly controlled

Do you think IVF would have gained any sot of support if it had been pitched at single mums/ trans freaks instead of couples having trouble conceiving??
Olsder laydeeee finds out her boyfriend is a cad. Also finds out older laydeeees arent in great demand as life partners… daddy government steps into her breach…
But at the same time she was exploring her options of going it alone with a fertility specialist. When, a few years later, she hadn’t met the right person through dating, she decided to go ahead with using donor sperm to start her family.
Fed up with dating, Lauren became a mother on her own
Lauren says becoming a solo mum was the best decision she had ever made, despite the added pressures of having a baby on her own
Melissa Cameron, a fertility specialist at Melbourne IVF, says she’s seeing more women who are, like Alexandra, choosing to go down the single parenthood path.
“We[‘ve] certainly had big increases steadily since about 2015 or so. More recently [at her clinic] we’re noticing about a 20 per cent increase in single women each year.”
She says there’s a myth that women are increasingly putting off having children while they focus on their careers, but her experience contradicts this.
“I see a lot of patients that just aren’t able to find the right person to have a baby with — that is by far a more common reason for going down the single parenthood pathway,” Dr Cameron says.
She’s says there’s also “an increasing number of trans men and non-binary folk coming through using our donor sperm program … I’m certainly seeing increasing inquiries around those from all of those diverse backgrounds”.
Queer parent Flick Grey gave birth to her child in May 2020.
Having grown up with a single mum, and single grandparents, she always knew starting a family alone was an option available to her.
The damage wreaked by single mums/cad dads is incalculable.
So of course we subsidize it.

Just reading about BPD, staying in a long term marriage seems antithetical.
A guy I used to work with was married to a sufferer, whatever she had done she was only allowed one hour weekly government supervised visits with the child of her first marriage.
They had two very small children and one day he started commenting that maybe the concerns of her previous husband were justified, without going into any details.
I lost touch as he was interstate and the project ended so don’t know where he went from there.

Michael Gove has apologised for a new Partygate video that shows Conservative officials dancing and laughing as they broke Covid lockdown rules, deeming their actions “terrible” and “indefensible”.
The video, obtained by the Mirror, shows members of staff drinking alcohol at the gathering in London on 14 December 2020, and mocking lockdown rules the public were following at the time. At least 24 people were in attendance, including Shaun Bailey – made a peer in Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list – whose campaign team organised the event. He left before the video was taken.
And anyone who made the slightest error in statements to the police must be charged with obstruction or whatever other charge will stick.

Why there’s a growing number of women embracing solo parenthood
I’ll tell you why. They’re alpha widows.
“Alexandra” looks good for her age and would have been rocking men’s worlds at 21.
Given the difficulty a lot of people have getting access to a GP these days reducing script repeat only visits ought to be a step in the right direction.
I suppose it depends on the severity of the affliction.

Prominent Yes campaigner for the Indigenous voice to parliament Thomas Mayo has described former prime minister John Howard as a “bastard” and threatened that politicians would be “punished” if they ignored the voice advisory body.
The militant unionist and outspoken figure on the government’s First Nations referendum working group has also raised the prospect of a voice to parliament being the first step towards “reparations and compensation” for Indigenous Australians.
Videos unearthed by No campaign strategists feature Mr Mayo appearing in online forums run by the Search Foundation – established in 1990 as a “successor organisation of the Communist Party of Australia” to preserve the socialist movement.
The Maritime Union of Australia national Indigenous officer also delivered provocative statements in videos filmed at Invasion Day, Black Lives Matters and May Day rallies held between 2021 and 2023.
“Every time, comrades, that we have established a voice as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the bastards have taken it away from us,” Mr Mayo told a May Day rally in Port Kembla last month.
“And let me tell you a story about how we can relate to that. John Howard, do you remember that bastard? John Howard, do you think he wants normal people, workers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to have a voice? No, he doesn’t.”
Legislation approving the constitutional amendment, which was unveiled on March 23 by Anthony Albanese and referendum working group members including Mr Mayo, is expected to pass through the parliament on Monday. Mr Albanese has previously described the change as “modest”.
Amid plunging support for the voice referendum in opinion polls and divisions among Yes campaigners over strategy and language, Noel Pearson last week suggested the focus should be on constitutional recognition ahead of the voice advisory body.
Yes23 campaigners, who say their tracking polling and larger samples reflect stronger support for their side, are planning a long game armed with greater resources and funding than the No campaign.
Mr Mayo, one of the strongest backers of a voice body, in 2021 told the Search Foundation that the power of the voice was its ability to “punish politicians that ignore our advice” on legislation and funding.
At an Invasion Day rally the same year, the author and former wharfie said “we need the constitutional right to have a united voice … we need the power of the Constitution behind us so we can organise like we’ve never organised before”.
“We are sick of governments telling us no, we are sick of governments not listening to our voice. We are going to use the rule book of the nation to force them,” he said.

Oh, a commie. How unusual, a rich commie demanding to sit at the highest equallest chair and have the best Dacha. It was black market capitalism that oppressed the serfs in the USSR, of course.
Bad enough that this is the tenor of debate from the ‘Yes’ side, but now imagine how it would be once ensconced in the constitution and The Voice is able to interfere with normal government in a way that (apparently) a merely legislated body cannot.
This should be put on T-Shirts with the attribution “the voice of The Voice”.
(It does not cause me any great distress to see Howard thus labelled, but he is still a bit of a hero to some people, and the main point regarding The Voice is not affected anyway.)

Bill Barr has been on every leftwing media Sunday show spewing his poison. He has smeared Trump more than he has ever criticized the worse drug dealers, arms dealers, international terrorists, terrorist states, or the Biden crime family and the millions of dollars they received from our enemies, including communist China. Barr knows he’s lying. He knows the thug prosecutors against Trump have acted appallingly. He knows all this. But on Father’s Day he spends part of his morning on CBS trashing Trump without any serious challenge. I think Barr is sick and getting sicker.
As a country I’m not sure we could afford that. Good news for Toyota dealers.

They would have to kill me before I placed that toxic sludge in my body, however, here is what truth I will tell:
The COVID mRNA vaccines were the single greatest crime against humanity ever perpetrated. I’ve lost family who trusted their doctors to this shot. I have others that have been injured and maimed, and a few battling rare, rapidly spreading cancers.
Many of you have experienced the same. I’ve spoken to COUNTLESS people, who like me, have been personally affected by this even while remaining unvaccinated. Many of them don’t have a megaphone. I do. I will never stop attempting to give the injured a voice. I will never stop using my megaphone to expose this for what it was.
We’ve lost so many. There must be accountability and this can NEVER happen again.
Kevin Rudd illegally (ultra vires and thus void) collected alcohol excise tax and bullied his way to retroactive legislation to allow his grubby little paws all over the revenue [the Governor-General should have sacked him, installed a caretaker PM and called an election, likely a double dissolution on the request of the new PM], why do these Bolshevik agitators care about what is and is not “LeGaLlY bInDiNg!!!!!1”?

Adam Schiff has spent years leaking lies to the press. He divided the country and set it on fire with his constant lies and tried to topple a duly elected President. In the first sham impeachment he read a 100% fabricated phone call to the world that was completely made-up (treason)
But don’t worry y’all – the Republican Party soapbox, super duper principled, highroad, do-gooders are going to write him a mean letter (censure) next week with zero punishment.
We are already in a banana republic. The FBI, DOJ, and entire justice system is nothing more than special police for the Democrat party. If you’re a Democrat, you can get away with murder – if you’re a Conservative, they’re coming for you. The entire media is state propaganda. The Democrat party is cheating a thousand different ways at every turn, not to mention, ARRESTING THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS!
If you think the Republican Party is ever going to do anything about it, you haven’t been paying attention.
They bitch, moan, groan, tweet, threaten, gas light, go on Hannity and cry, and on, and on – but when it comes to slightly pushing back or even lightly punishing anyone, they come up with an excuse and fold like cheap tents – every – single – time.
The Republican Party is worthless, spineless, and not worth voting for anymore.

Meanwhile, AEMO has forecast “reliability gaps” in SA & VIC’s electricity supply from 2025 and in NSW, TAS & QLD from 2027.
There is simply not enough generating & storage capacity being built to replace coal fired generators that will be retired early thanks to the distortion of the market created by renewables.
Perhaps the Grattan Institute should write a report about that?
Unfortunately, whilst it might be ‘family run’ you will find its is government/big pharma controlled, just like GP offices. There will be so many layers of government intrusion into their core business (dispensing drugs) that they will most definitely be controlled by same. The PBS subsidy system means pharmacies, large or small are just as effectively controlled by government as GPs are – try running your pharmacy or GP surgery without the PBS or medicare paying most of your customers cost. Those customers will immediately bail and head next door to the one that remains inside the cartel.
I couldnt even get my local pharmacy to fill a *private* script for Hydroxychloroquine in 2020, let alone a PBS paid one.
My bet is Mr Bowen and his renewable floggers haven’t counted in or modelled the increase in electricity consumption if consumers toss their gas appliances. What do you reckon, probably more than 75% of households have some gas appliances? Our stove top and hot water is gas. And I’m not intending to replace them with electricity.
Buying a bank branch or an Australia Post building was a pretty popular property play back in the day. I expect most of those initial leases have expired long ago. You wonder how many were renewed. It’s a shame really. The most galling might be a post office outside a Multiplex box that now sells Persian rugs.
No Cassie, but whenever I see a highly regulated industry when most of the money comes via the taxpayer, resulting in some people becoming billionaires, I wonder if it is really operating in the best interests of consumers.
It is pretty hard to think of anything not being ultra his vires, he was just not much of a vir – just a desperate little atom where an electron of envy endlessly whizzes around a nucleus of insecurity.
That’s nuts. I thought as long as you had a valid script they were somewhat bound to fill it if they had the item stocked and didn’t have a priority for a more vulnerable patient, sans contraindications, etc.
Harry Richardson, who wrote the controversial “The Story of Mohammed. Islam Unveiled”, has now written another tome, this time exploring the rise of the phenomenon of the “cancelling” of any achievements, notables etc of white societies. He labels this new campaign against “white” societies as “Anglophobia.” Not sure if this will prove an agreeable term, but his thesis accords with current world wide developments.

Minus 4 when we woke up here, Zulu. Now, at 9.30am it is 2 degrees. A roaring fire going now & it is slowly warming the house – or at least the main part that is not closed off.
Gas is looking pretty marginal for my one person household. Use reverse cycle air conditioning for space heating. Really only need gas for your wok (out of action for me anyway). A lot of cooks reckon induction better for general cooking anyway. The demonstration kitchen where I went for a gifted cooking course used gas wok ring and induction burners. The gas hot water storage unit just got replaced like-for-like when it crapped itself while I was in Melbourne. That won’t happen again.
Watched Guy Richie’s new movie The Covenant last night about US troops in Afghanistan. Thanks to Australian Defence leadership and various jismalists, I realised the movie depicted a series of war crimes committed by the Americans. In an early scene, a patrol raids a shitb*x “factory” where Taliban farmers are making IEDs and suicide vests. Rather than offering safe passage to POW facilities where an assessment process by tribunal could be completed, the Americans simply opened fire shooting most and causing others to explode.
After another firefight with farmers who’d taken a short break from the poppy fields to ride armed with AK47s in the back of utes, some farmers were still alive and wounded, and rather than offering first aid and helicopter transfer to a hospital, an American soldier simply shot them in the head because yeah that was easier before moving on to the next atrocity. /sarc
Not a bad movie if that’s your thing and makes a great point about the US withdrawal and the complete abandonment of hundreds off Afghani interpreters.
The protocols imposed on GPs by the health bureaucracy, down to delimiting what drugs they can prescribe and under what conditions in each patient, are quite stringent. Good GPs will try to find workarounds for their patients but there are others who are happy to be dispensing machines. I wonder if they realise they could one day be replaced by AI & algorithms?
Gas is still best for any sort of industrial use. The unit complex I was in in Melbourne had a 3 inch gas inlet going to a central recirculating hot water system with split system air cons on balconies. Worked well and I rarely had the air con on much either.
Because we’ve signed up to international agreements, mem.

Wretch – from what I have read (somewhere – don’t ask me where!) other western nations which fought in Afghanistan have also been holding witch-hunts to convict their soldiers (not sure if special forces) of war crimes. But our press don’t report that, do they?
I see it as part of the overall spectacle of the suicide of the West.
BTW I reckon those exceptional movies “The Hurt Locker” and “American Sniper” & others – which portray the reality of the duplicitous population in the combat areas – have probably made the general population wary of believing any of the rubbish the Woke brigade dishes up.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/vaccines-cause-sids
I must say this thought occurred to me earlier – if COVID vaxxes are linked to SADs, are childhood vaxxes linked to SIDS?
No
The government leaned on the Pharmacy Guild, which instructed pharmacists to NOT FILL scripts for HCQ, except in certain restricted circumstances (eg when written by a rheumatologist for inflammatory arthritis). In short, the govt stepped into a private transaction between the Dr and the patient. Get that, they didnt just say ‘no PBS dispensing’ of a legal drug via a legal script, they said ‘no dispensing at all’.
Unrelated fun fact, Mussolini defined fascism as ‘ a marriage between the corporation and the state’.
PS, AHPRA then got antsy when I started telling people how to obtain veterinary ivermectin online after the govt banned that too. Three years, on, who was right?
Incidentally the change to 60 day scripts won’t half dispensing fees as it only relates to recurring scripts for specific chronic conditions.
I don’t know what percentage of scripts are recurring but it isn’t 100%.

At this point, I would settle just for some sort of Police camera that doesn’t ‘go flat’ everytime you want the vision it captured.
The story of the summary execution of a Golden Goose.
My bruvver does a bit of property work down in Coastal Town (not a KC like Googlery though).
He had a client who owned the freehold of a building rented to one of the Big Four.
I don’t know the full details, but the bank offered to roll over the lease I think on a 3+3+3 lease with annual market reviews of rental with no decreases.
He holds out for a yuuuge increase.
The bank walks and takes a shopfront around the corner.
Get this.
The landlord (we suspect at the urging of his “property expert” maaates) thought he had the bank on toast because the building had a big safe.
He then had to pay to strip out the building and set it up to be leased as general retail.
Lessons:-
1. The regional manager can often approve vanilla flavoured rollovers. Any departures from that will go to Big Bank HQ, who don’t give a rat’s that they have been in that building since 1929.
2. Banks love being landlorded over … not.

Given that parliamentary culture has proven itself to be intractable despite several inquiries, suich that it has become a national scandal, I propose a solution:

Implementation of this new regime should be contracted to a private entity, not the public service or parliamentary security.

I served in a war zone where we got mortared and rocketed and so on without warning at any time.
On occasion this was at night while you were trying to get a sleep, and suddenly it was on. The first thing was to get your body armour and helmet on, and then grab your rifle to engage with attacking infantry.
Will there be charges for not putting your camera on and activating it while the bad guys are coming over the walls?
Actually this is typical – the so-called leaders at the top coming up with this sort of thing while allowing untold billions to be wasted on platform failure or non-acquisition, and morale to crash through the floor. I feel an article coming on…
Absolutely.
As a political tactic alone ScoMo could have introduced random and targeted D&A testing to fix “da toxic kulture”.
Features are:-
1. PH becomes an alcohol free zone and a “0.0” workplace;
2. Testing is conducted by an independent body, excluding large consultancy firms (who are in the Feds pockets);
3. Random tests for staff are conducted by totally random ballot of staff names;
4. Random tests for MPs and senators are conducted by lotto number. Each MP and senator is allocated a number between 1 and 40. Every night of a lotto draw the first two numbers out are immediately tested. A totally unimpeachable selection technique.
5. Every member and senator must be tested at least three times a year.
6. Testing to be recorded on video and samples numbered and tagged like pathology samples.
Morrison flipped on net zero because the EU & US were working up a range of tariffs and other punitive measures to impose upon us, efectively making us pariahs in the “international community.”.

I know – For more than two years I had a choice: Deny common business services to people I’d known all my life, or;
I would face life-changing fines, loss of livelihood, loss of the cumulative total of my life’s work, and be subject to brutal kinetic arrest carried out via a “swat-raid” in the wee hours of the morning by overwhelming numbers of police officers, followed by time in police cells.
