Interesting article https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13825105/Former-RAF-engineer-nurse-wife-sign-British-couple-use-double-suicide-pod-Switzerland-dementia.html from two points of view. 1) Aussie Dr Phil Nitschke, who at one stage was working in…
Unmanned Aircrafts Will Fight the Next World War
“The US Air Force received their request by Congress to spend $5.8 billion on construction up to 2,000 unmanned aircrafts. These AI drones can operate autonomously without human interference. This means that the decision to decimate masses will not be up to human judgement. The Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program has been approved and the US government is actively preparing to fight in a largescale war.
The Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie cost up to $7 million per unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). They have a range of 3,500 miles (5,600 kilometers) with a cruise speed of 548 mph (882 km/h). Kratos Defense and Security Systems owns the UCAV, and the two largest shareholders, of course, are BlackRock and Vanguard.
This will change the entire nature of war, shrouded in a grey area regarding ethics. Militaries can try to omit responsibility if they say a UCAV was operating on its own free will. Perhaps the aircraft will choose to liberate more poor nations in need of Democracy, especially if they have natural resources like oil. “AI will be a critical element to future warfighting and the speed at which we’re going to have to understand the operational picture and make decisions,” Brig. Gen. Scott Cain, the lab’s commander, said. “AI, Autonomous Operations, and Human-Machine Teaming continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace and we need the coordinated efforts of our government, academia, and industry partners to keep pace.”
This is a solution to the military personnel shortage every branch besides the Marines face. However, the destruction these AI machines will cause is untold. Kratos admits the XQ-58A Valkyrie is experimental. “The operational options that our family of UAVs brings to the warfighter are limited only by the imagination and provide CONOPS/CONEMPS options unavailable by any other competitor in the market,” Kratos notes on its website. The country with the most effective technology will win future wars. All bets are off as they do not know how these unmanned aircrafts will operate amid an ongoing battle, but the US is willing to bet $5.8 billion on their success.”

‘Those students are still there but they are now the faculty and making sure a new generation doesn’t dare challenge them as they did their professors when they were young. They learned how not to give up their power as it was always about power, not free speech.’
Exactly right, Crossie. Whereas those old-school liberal educators whom the 60s and 70s student radicals vilified as elitist Tory reactionaries would encourage their students to think for themselves and didn’t mind if that meant disagreement.
Husband just had furious debate on phone with “issues resolver” of the company which supplies electricity to the farm (& to which we supply electricity from our 10kw solar system). After the installation of a “smart meter” a couple of months ago our bill has absolutely soared for the excess electricity we buy off the grid.
Something is amiss, and we can see on the internet that others are having similar problems. The graph of electricity usage and sale to them just doesn’t make sense. Yet we can’t get any resolution of the problem. The only resolution seems to be to purchase an extremely expensive battery in order to go completly “off grid”.
And yet they want to convert office towers in the CBD into residential units. I expect that is going to put huge pressure on the sewer system that could back up into their bathrooms.
I think you got the increase that we were told will be 30% up on previous bills. I got my electricity bill last week and think it may be even higher than the proposed 30% rise. I’m just thinking about poor pensioners and families on fixed incomes, how they will manage. Chris Bowen in the most evil politician of living memory, he doesn’t give a damn what his Net Zero target is doing to the country.

I think you got the increase that we were told will be 30% up on previous bills. I got my electricity bill last week and think it may be even higher than the proposed 30% rise.
I got my gas bill this week $255 for 3 months .. last year same period $140 .. (both include applied OAP credits)
admittedly I do have gas heating but on the unit figures listed almost twice the MJ cost to last year ……
Thanks, Blackball, I’ve ripped my eyes out and am now ripping out my brain with a spoon.
Iirc correctly Pauline proposed similar.
You see Vicki, you’re 10 kw system is of no value in the Bowen plan as the big project investors who will provide the generation need to own that supply.
You are an annoying gnat to them, only useful in camouflaging the growing shortfall in electricity while the big pigs wrestle their way to the subsidy trough.

You are absolutely right, Gez. But it is SO annoying. We are also having problems with the new smart meter on the city property & we suspect that these meters can be programmed to get the result that they want. I guess we can change electricity suppliers & see what happens. Don’t feel like splurging on a big battery and disconnecting from the grid at this stage.
Testimonial: “They Moved a Biological Man into My Dorm Room!”
BTW – re the 30% rise: we are arguing that their figures on actual usage can’t be right, based on previous years. The young bloke in the resolution centre kept quoting different periods for comparison. It is almost impossible to get them on the same page. He got a bit agitated though when husband said that there are similar disputes from others on the internet.
I like kids. I have one of my own; an energetic six-year-old who can fortunately now be placated for long periods by the lure of unlimited YouTube viewing, should the need arise.
I think toddlers and babies are cute, too, just not when I’m seated near one in an aircraft.
The trouble with an adult – or is that ‘a dolt’ is that they forget that they were once a child. And in such a case, so is MontyPox Virus. A dolt as well as a child.

It may take a few more decades to fully implement and there is more technology to be developed but all the elements of tyrannical total control are already visible.
This is the Albanese/Bowen gas price cap working hard for you.

Dunno if these guys still exist but equally little problems with Pacific Hydro when I was renovating a house in Victoria. Cheap too.
Avoid Click, we put them on for the gas on said renovation when I was painting & needed to dry the house in a Victorian winter. The no fees is false advertising, they tried charging a connection fee of $88 till I basically told them I’ll take it to the ombudsman and the call centres were all sub continentals that were equally as useless.

Sometimes kids are too young and can’t help it. They don’t know how to unblock their ears due to pressure and end up crying. One of our kids once cried all the way from LA to the other side and only stopped when we landed. It was freaking hell at 35,000 feet and very embarrassing. I still haven’t forgiven him.
I am blessed with the ability to block out kids screaming & babies crying on planes.

A Parliamentary petition has been set up against the Illawarra offshore wind farm proposal. If you’re opposed to this atrocity which will stretch from Wombarra to Kiama, make sure you jump on sign up so we can tell the Federal Government where their proposal belongs.
https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN5402
This petition is opposing the Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s plans to build an offshore windfarm off the coast of the Illawarra. Chris Bowens plans leave affected citizens to negotiate with private individual companies who will hold licences to develop these structures in terms of scope, and impacts. There is no proposed limits in height, distance from shore or number of turbines that can be installed. There is also no clear plan for remediation or disposal once turbines reach their end of life. They will be visible from shore. This will not only be damaging to tourism but will also impact fishing, shipping and marine life.

Had an 8 month old do similar for a short period on a MEL-SIN flight. From lift off till the seat belt sign went off where I took her for a walk she screamed her lungs out. We were in Premium Economy too.
One lap of normal economy, being allowed to crawl for a bit & a few hostesses fawning over her she calmed down quickly. She was the sort of baby who worked out at 4 months old grinning at ladies in public got her heaps of attention.
The looks of death at the start compared to even some of the males giving her attention on landing couldn’t be contrasted any different. Yes it was extremely awkward to begin (seeing’s I had considered we probably should go cattle class but we decided she had done about 4-5 domestic flights by that age she’ll be right).

The TPD insurance is hard to access & getting harder.
The other aspect is that even if you have multiple super accounts with TPD on all of them, guess what, only one pays.

BREAKING: ELON DEBUNKS CNN | PREVENTS POTENTIAL NUCLEAR CONFLICT
Elon just confirmed the U.S or Ukrainian Government requested him to play a significant role in a MAJOR ESCALATION in the Ukraine war.
CNN reported that Elon deactivated his Starlink satellites in response to a covert attack the Ukrainians were planning on the Russian naval fleet. They were WRONG!
Elon clarified the satellites were NOT active, and that he was pressured by the Government to activate them so that Ukraine can attack Russian ships in a contentious territory.
“There was an emergency request from government authorities to activate Starlink all the way to Sevastopol. The obvious intent being to sink most of the Russian fleet at anchor.”
@elonmusk
refused to activate Starlink, avoiding “a major act of war and conflict escalation.”
So not only are Governments not deescalating the war, but they have also actively tried to drag a private company to play a role in ESCALATING.
This is NOT how peace will be reached!
Here’s a silly quiz for those in their 70’s and 80’s who want to waste a bit of time on a wet Sydney day answering 50 multi-choice questions. How much can you remember about things that happened in the 50’s? I got 45, only getting knocked out on some American supermarket knowledge and one date. Quite a few you can do through a memory jog combined with a process of elimination. Plenty are still part of today’s general cultural literacy so yoof Cats and Kittehs in their 60’s and even 50’s could have a go. You have to keep score in your head or use a pen. 40 and over is considered pretty good. Most of the people commenting on this vid seem to come in mid-range 40’s.
It’s supposed to be a memory test for those in their 80’s but any age could have a go.

Only a few multiple choice, then you had to know. lol in the comments though, for the quizmakers were in it for the quid, not the accuracy of the proverbs, which have to be word correct to be viable proverbs. Like most of this sort of click bait, the quiz was poorly produced. One commenter said:
Another commenter, who like me got them all right, said she’d done much better in that than the quizmasters.
Actually, when I fly I expend great effort to popping my ears. I seem more irritated by even the smallest pressure difference than other people. So I will sit there (trying to be discreet) with eyes wide open, laboriously opening my jaws to full gape before snapping shut and instantly trying again.

Country coppers in Western Australia used to round up Aboriginal juvenile offenders on a dark night, drive them a few miles out of town, and tell them to walk home. In a refinement, they would tell the offenders that Katchdika man – the tribal sorcerer – was about, and he would creep up behind them, and dash their brains out, with his stone club. Very few of them ever re- offended.
Somebody made a complaint to the Aboriginal Legal Service, who put a stop to the practice.

‘Omit the part’ to end restrictions on prostitution
By Monica Doumit – September 8, 2023
In last week’s column, I foreshadowed that I would write this week about Sydney MP Alex Greenwich’s Equality Legislation Amendment (LGBTIQA+) Bill 2023.
I expected that this week’s column would detail the legion of attacks on religious freedoms the bill contained, particularly when it comes to how we operate our schools and other institutions. All those provisions are in the bill, outlined in its first 17 pages, and while they are important, it is page 48 that is the most astonishing page in the bill.
Page 48 has only 16 words on it. It reads: “Schedule 18 Amendment of Summary Offences Act 1988 No 25. Part 3 Prostitution. Omit the part.” The meaning behind the words “omit the part” is a near-complete removal of the remaining restrictions NSW law has over prostitution.
…
The goal isn’t only evident in this part of the bill. Greenwich is also seeking to add “sex work” as a protected ground of discrimination in the Anti-Discrimination Act. The effect of his proposed changes would be that a landlord could not treat a rental application from someone who listed their profession as “sex worker” differently to other applicants, nor a religious school insist that its principal did not also have a side gig as a prostitute.

You know, we really do live in a time where we are now surrounded by progressive cretins who endlessly push nonsense of diversity, equity and inclusion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HduZFoUOE3I&t=13s
The director on the right calmly said it is just an historical fact that Denmark in the 1750s, the time the movie is set in, wasn’t a particularly “diverse time”.

My pleasure, Johnny Rotten. Mme Zulu and I visited Bletchley Park, and were shown over it, by another of the wartime Wrens. Her father was a World War One veteran, and she was an only child, but she was able to tell her father before he passed that his daughter had made her contribution for King and Country.

Thus demonstrating the vacuousness of modern life (which is rubbish) again … 😕

You are top people and I would not be alive at age 70 years now without all of those people that did what they did then.
I am always humbled by those stories that I never knew then but I now know now.
Bin Away in the Big Smoke, so now to catch up:

And they have many, many supporters who – in the effort to garner virtue points – help the possum scratch away, at the expense of the people who actually need help. Their virtue total means more to them than does a hungry and frightened child.
Black Ball, how could you? What got into you?
Next time, please put a warning label.
Interest6ingt that the Oz mentions drugs pretty much only in the headline (as I write… no doubt lots of room for change!), but does get around to a comparison with “drug addled James Gargloulas”.
The fact that the bloke was dressed in a white caftan and sat on the bonnet of his car when it was done is, errm, odd. Most strange, I would think, that someone so drug-crazed as to plough through people would stop, and go all Zen on his bonnet.

Delta A, miltonf and Rockdoctor, I present these works for your consumption.
I will continue to do so.
This is otherwise known as “using my name in vain”, Squire.
Enough.
Behave JC lol.
Anyway you look at this linky, it’s superb. Hot birds singing a Leonard Cohen effort is always good.
What a waste of feminine pulchritude, Squire.
They actually announce that too, in English, and, I presume, Japanese.
Today we caught the delightful little purple train, one carriage only, there, and then two carriages back, to the bamboo forest, which was busier than Burke st, not quite ah the serenity.
Though the observation platform in the gardens beside the forest, looking down into the gorge wasn’t anything like as popular, and came with a free fresh breeze.
If you can’t be bothered walking up to the forest you can rickshaw with a fellow wearing short shorts and what we called cow shoes or taxi up in either a black Toyota Crown or a red and white Toyota Comfort.
I wondered why face washers were for sale everywhere but finally realised they are used as perspiration moppers, and there is plenty of perspiration that needs mopping.
Though it finally feels like the evenings are getting a little cooler.
I bought a Japanese version of a lemon granita too, they use the lemon, skin and all, didn’t mind the zest, choked a bit on the pith.
Leonard Cohen effort is always good.
Leonard Cohen is boring. It’s like slash yer’ wrist music.

With this fcuker having a mini stroke most days of the week, how can the GOP accuse the Demons of running Demonrats with serious brain problems? I can’t believe they haven’t got rid of him yet.
Anyway, enough of that – how happy are we Cats, that Dildo Poocock combined with the Teals and the stupid, stupid gliberals to punt labore’s retrograde IR “reforms” into February 2024, I asks ya?
Hopefully, very.

‘Omit the part’ to end restrictions on prostitution
By Monica Doumit – September 8, 2023
In last week’s column, I foreshadowed that I would write this week about Sydney MP Alex Greenwich’s Equality Legislation Amendment (LGBTIQA+) Bill 2023.
Greenwich personifies the disproportionate and insidious effect radical, fringe anti-traditional people can have when true conservatives don’t exist and the nominal conservatives are effectively cancelled like Latham.
Thank goodness.
The Oz is reporting that VicPlod has ruled out terrorism.
thefrolickingmole
Good man. Made his point without damaging himself. I expect to see more of it.
The interesting thing is that if the SHTF, the Cocks in Frocks will all be in HQ for their own safety – which is very sad, on several levels.
John Ruddick – “the gliberal party doesn’t give a rodent’s backside about John Ruddick’s opinions on how to reform the gliberal party” …
Which is why he is now a Liberal Democrat.
I still maintain this is a huge mistake. If non collectivists are to attempt to peacefully take back government in Oz (and hopefully soon at that), we need to infiltrate the gliberal party (which BTW, in Qld, is known as the “Johalition”).
Otherwise it’s just screaming into the void. Which will not be screaming back at me, thanks very much, I tells ya. 😕
“Greenwich personifies the disproportionate and insidious effect radical, fringe anti-traditional people can have when true conservatives don’t exist and the nominal conservatives are effectively cancelled like Latham.”
Greenslime, a very sinister individual, was empowered by the Liberals. The Liberals are responsible for this creep. It’ll be interesting to see what Minns does. He doesn’t need him to get legislation through.
I see lots of talk about how the Dems ease out Biden without “easing in” Kamala!, especially on the left, in the US. Good Plan on the face of it.
Also, about who on the R side is the best option (did I actually see one poll comparing Haley v Biden?) to run against either Biden or the hypothetical replacement, who isn’t Kamala!
Don Surber has a piece tonight (“Kamala Can Win”) which got me thinking that all this makes a key assumption…
Hypothetical :-
Biden dies of [insert disease of old age here], quite suddenly.
Kamala! assumes the Presidency, obviously.
What happens next?
On the D side, do they have any feasible way of not having Kamala! run in 2024? I can’t see it…
If they are up against Kamala! what is the optimal GOP opposition? I don’t want to make this some RDS v DJT thing… sort of more wondering if a return to an idea floated waaaay back might not be a good idea. DJT with RDS as VP.
Not sure you want to be running an old bloke without also a proven track record in the VP if the previous President has just popped his clogs from old age. Yes, egos will get in the way! But if not that combo, what (that the GOP base will tick off)?
Just a thought experiment… I obviously harbour Biden no ill-will (of that variety).
Black Ball:
The smartarse in Canberra tried on a trick that would have passed in the Trot debating room, but has fallen flat on its arse with the sceptical Australian Public.
Serves the bastard right.
Sleazy bag of shit that he is.
If the perpetrator is a Muslim, we’ll quickly read about mental illness, oh wait, we’re already are hearing from the Vic police about mental illness, and then tomorrow we’ll hear about social alienation, and then in two days the story will be buried, just like the story behind the jihadist decapitations of Zoe and Maurice Anthill was.
“The Oz is reporting that VicPlod has ruled out terrorism.”
Of course it has.
Drinking good single malt, and watching “Sharpe’s Waterloo” on DVD.
“Your Grace, the Prussians are here.
Well, let’s see if we can find something useful for them to do.”
Oh dear.
The Sydney Mancravers lost to Caaaarlton.
Time to hit the amyl nitrite on Oxford Street and get over it, lads.
The beauty of this is, of course, that the aforementioned Aaaarlton will get their own arses handed to them next week.
The Oz is reporting that VicPlod has ruled out terrorism.
Mmmyes so I will posit on the record it is terrorism.
Writing on one side of the paper, using words of few syllables, what does a “Trotskyite”

Eternal Revolution
Calli:
This was an aspect that I put to my Australia Wide FB Readership – Both of them – that the government was so dismissive of our efforts and feelings on the Voice thingy, that they were going to push it on to us whether the Referendum was passed or not. The fact that the Qld and WA governments were determined to push it through made it an easy and believable claim to make.
Mmmm … yes … VicPlod. Nothing to see here. Move along please.

I am obliged to you, Squire. So, when their eternal revolution turns to a bag of worms, they want to come scurrying to the safety of the welfare State?

I feel Dutton has earned a quiet “lets see what hatches out of that egg that is now hatching under the Albos cloaca.”
Same as for Hairy, who is still only 71, vs my 45 at 81.
I was laughing behind him as he did it when I emailed him the URL.
I was cracking up behind him as he made ten wrong choices.
I know that effin’ dog’s name, he said; I know it, he repeated in anguish.
And he chose the wrong one.
I was there in real time, I snortled. You just heard about it.
Poor little doggie, we all said at the time, we’ll never forget you.
Cassie of Sydney
Yes they have, Cassie. However wouldn’t it be nice to watch them as a junior partner in a National/PHON/Liberal Coalition?
The reorganisation on the Right may just be happening as we watch.
If true, an obscenity.
Did the “moral and ethical superiors” that constitute our not even remotely loved j’ismist class bother to ask the Nurses* why they refused the shots?
No, of course not.
Ladees (if you exist), stand your ground. You are being tested. You will pass with flying colours.

Crossie
Wot Crossie Sed.
With multiple upticks.
On a hypothetical put forward by James Morrow on his US Report tonight the Demons continue on happily as usual being run by Obama and his acolytes. If Biden is a puppet, simply now a useful walking corpse, then Kamala will up the ante on puppetry, with even more chance of being a totally amenable puppet than Joe (who has his snarly nasty moments of foot stamping for his ice cream). Kamala will be a dopey and ditzy you-go-cackle gurrl, which will go down well enough with the Dem women, not many of whom are deep thinkers. Thus, Obama for his fourth term. He’s said as much earlier on in that clip about needing his third term via a puppet with an earpiece.
Always done in plain sight, says Hairy softly.
err, Cats, has Disasterstan just been gifted with some (more) diversity mental illness joyessnous?

Dot, welcome to the world of the disconnected.
I bless the day our TV shit itself in 1985ish.
Since then I’ve had several TVs given to me by family who I regularly promise will move to the next stage of TV ownership by attaching it to the power point in the wall. Then I can enjoy the ecstasy of flipping that switch to the ‘On’ position.
At some stage I will try the ‘autotune’ function.
In, say 2030.

Why not try saying something of substance here instead?
One-tune player are you?

Excellent stufff, Cassie.
This whole catastrophe could have been averted had the Ambassador Class done what was necessary when the Rhineland was remilitarised in ’36.
They failed then and have never been called to account since.

Apparently it works well with keeping the Faithful in line.
And blah, blah, blah, as usual from the stalker. Me, me, me, is alive and well and blogging on about the stalker’s favorite topic – herself. Cool inner-west rock groupie, we’ve heard it all before, the Kings Cross days of glory too, and so very much of it, so often, as well as running Jervis Bay and being a scion of our wonderful public sector too. As well as the horticultural meanderings and the rest.
I am happy to leave the stalker to it. This is a blog not an inquisition. I can scroll.
But I just had to point out the level of hypocrisy involved in stalking me.
Take note, Kevni, and up your game.
Se you all on the Weekend New Thread.
Will Dover give us Monet’s ‘ladies who lunch’, naked on the grass?
Not the same ladies, I suspect, who were dining elegantly on this thread.
For later discussion. Online Weekend Oz Magazine has a very revealing article about fostering aboriginal children. What a morass.
I’m subscribed to ~50 content creators. Better quality information, comment feedback is useful, and the shorts on youtube are funnier than most comedies on FTA. I cheated the other day, watched Barbie without paying a cent. What a waste of time, my cheating was justified. There are some FTA programs I watch. I do that through their online resources. For movies, I prefer South Korea, Russia, Japan, and a few European countries with France being a leader across most genres.
It’s not just TPD.
There would be a fixed monthly fee element on every account.

A couple of interesting parallels popped up again today.
We had a banking Royal Commission. Australian Super (maaaates) escaped scrutiny.
We had a child abuse Royal Commission. The number of cases in public institutions? Apparently it was zero.

Good. I have no damn time for the wankers of hyphenation.
If you think you are one of the hyphenated, piss off to your hyphenated other place.

Hmmm…drove north into central Greece. Looks like a mistake. Evidence of widespread floods; roads blocked, mud everywhere. Was diverted through a small village which had had six feet of water through it, according to some locals.
Might have put a stop to our travels north. Managed to see the site of the Battle of Thermopylae though.

The Liberals in every state have proved themselves to be cowards and quislings.
Sadly, as much as I like Pauline and some of her approach to politics, this unification will never happen as long as she is in control of her party.
Just too much ego, partly justified I may add, she carried on when lesser people would’ve given up.

Wasn’t there a big stinkup over the forced female physical genital examination in an ambulance with armed police in attendance due to a premature baby being found?
About two years ago IIRC. Apparently multiple western women were involved in the ordeal, ordered by a Quatari policeman.

Some of you may remember my travails with a Samsung Tablet, which I found inoperable due to the hieroglyphics and confusing setup.
After nearly a day of struggling with the damn thing I gave it away.
Then I remembered the positive views of the Lenovo range of tablets and bought a Tab P11. Set up within two hours, and working withing three.
Simple as.
And Samsung wouldn’t honor their guarantee, so now they’re on my shit list as a new member.

Many a word said in jest, Cassie.
The DINK cohort is well ahead in the PS and in Health, the gay cohort are raking in the promotions. I don’t know what it’s like in the ABC, but when I left Health in about 2013, you could see the patterns evolving.
