Agree, JC.
This is odd, assuming (I haven’t bothered to read the paper) that they had a squadron of random flippers. If they used only a few flippers, or a machine, it is entirely possible.
I’ve seen the analogy…
Mum used to love a go at the roulette down in the old West Point Casino. Dad was down there a lot for business… anyway, she was forever telling me she had a “system”. Which I naturally disbelieved entirely. Because reasons.
On one occasion, for whatever reason, I was also down in Tassie and thus was able to observe her “system”. She absolutely knew I was more than sceptical and simply gave me a card charting the positions of the various numbers on the roulette wheel and said I should watch.
On comes dealer one. No dice for Mum. The odd desultory bet laid. Dealer change…. now Mum’s into it like Flynn (after watching a few warm-up spins). And without doubt, well ahead of the game. Dealer change. Time for dinner… this one’s no good.
How? Well, and they have changed this these days, the dealer spun the roulette wheel in one direction at the same time as pushing the ball off in the other. Both done, importantly, with the ball above the last number it fell into. And, for some dealers, butter me on both sides, the combination of the two, slightly more often than not, landed the ball within 3 or 4 slots either side of the last number. Some sort of muscle memory, one assumes.
Random ain’t always random.
Dutton represents the party still trying to shed the ugly wannabe-ALP skin of Malcolm Turnbull.
I hope he doesn’t shrink into the cowardice of Tony Abbott.
The current PM is just an activist who stood in line long enough to inherit the office when the Australian electorate was forced to choose between a rock and a hard place.
To become PM, Dutton just needs to keep mistakes — like his brainfart about a second referendum — off his record; and accept that a majority of the electorate are pining for effective conservative leadership.
PS, Peter: none of your media critics has ever or will ever vote for the LNP. But you knew that.
I didn’t think it was appropriate in the first couple of days after the massacre, but as a short while has passed now, I think it should be asked and observed.
1. Why would you have a loud rave concert next door to the border with the worst fcuking arseholes in the world?
How stupid has the West become?
2. If you’re going to run a Kibbutz close by to the same border, how could you not have armed guards that are appropriately armed?
Doesn’t the German-Israeli kid likely raped and murdered symbolize the present-day West? She was a tattoo artist raving close to one of the most dangerous borders on earth without a care in the world.
I hope we wake up a little from our present-day slumber. Let’s hope Dad gets back into the White House in 24.
You have to cut Albanese some slack.
All Dutton has to do is provide a moral template for Australia.
Luigi, on the other hand, has to balance factions within the ALP, try to hose down the drift of the BDS-adjacent to the Greens – all while trying to keep his arse out of the fire in Grayndler and the outer western electorates.
Reminded me of the Bataclan massacre.
Islamic terrorists love these events, proof of western decadence, dense population of young people many of whom would have been affected by alcohol yet there doesn’t seem to have been any real security from the obvious threat just a few kilometres away.
And clearly being watched from the inside as details of the location were only announced a few hours beforehand yet the winged humus monkeys were immediately ready to attack.
Oh Great, ASIO is on the case, we’re safe as houses, with a timely warning too.
Can someone ask Mike, did he have any personnel hanging around the “Gas-the-Jews” crowd finding out who they were and keeping a tail on them?
And safe rooms aren’t always safe.
You need weapons and booby traps ready to go in the event of an attack.
I believe this to be an excellent idea – any building, displaying those colors should have a dead pig thrown through the front door.
The flipping may not be perfectly random. The shape of the coin may influence the dynamics, like loaded dice.
Likely the picking up of the coin is completely random.
Now I doubt if we expanded the number of flips if the probabilities would not rapidly converge to 50%.
It could change from coin to coin as well. Factoring in damage to the face and obverse and damage to the milling edge; games with multiple coins, and different flipping devices – the “extra” 0.8% chance is almost useless, considering repeating the experiment or expanding the sample size.
Oh, wonderful – so the young psychopathic moozley leb would be Jew killing tradie has been banned from various exclusive eastern suburbs, “unless for work purposes”.
So he can still turn up there and purvey unhinged psychopathic hatred.
Well done, Magistrate Slag Face.

It’s still 50% before the toss if the choice of the side is random -even if it’s a damaged coin.
The cry of the men who flog their wives and girlfriends.
And the Palis are busily reworking themselves as victims, in the same manner as the abovementioned big rough tough blokes sook their guts out when confronted not by a woman half their size, but a bloke either of their size or bigger* – and with the intent to hand out a flogging of his own, prior to dragging old mate into a cell^.
*Used to be.
^Apparently.
Bruce: Possibly due the ship containing 10,000 tonnes of zinc concentrate which is still stuck under the bridge. They rebuilt the bridge but left the ship in place.
Nah mate. The design for the new ship was checked prior to building, and then in the build process the breadth of the ship kept being changed. Somehow no-one thought to keep looking at the Tasman Bridge rules.
Said rules ban ships beyond a certain width as there’s only one central span they can go through, and the Derwent is tidal with some downstream flow as well. All adds up to “too dangerous”.
The wreck of the Lake Illawarra is still there along with some cars (with bodies in them) that went over in the 1975 disaster albeit with tonnes of concrete on top of the whole lot. There are movement sensors installed on the wreck but it’s apparently stable. Still, very odd to have a wrecked ship next to your city’s main bridge. For the sake of propriety alone I’d think it should be raised.
The other aspect of it is that the bridge design should never have been approved in the first place.

Now now, Cassie, he did send one of his fluffers.

Peter Dutton meant every word. Elbow would have just lied by rote.
There’s the Muslim free pass there.
There’s plenty of people whose bail or parole conditions prohibit them entering onto a liquor licence. Without any provision for work purposes.
This prevents some tradesmen from entering to repair (say) air conditioning, & it prevents me from hiring any such person in my general labouring crew.
But what of the Christians, 1,100 approx I understand.
Who will take them? None in the ME. Here in Aus? Hardly, we are no longer a Christian country. Even back in the early ’80s there was no preference for Christians.

By almost any metric Sleazy is making even Rudd and Gillard look good.
Relatively speaking.
“Now I doubt if we expanded the number of flips if the probabilities would not rapidly converge to 50%.”
It’s already is converging to 50%. Should only reach 50% as number of flips get to infinity. Assuming it truly is random, then it is more than possible that a “run” near the start could bias the average for a long time – it would asymptotically decay, I would expect. Of course, another truly random “run” could “flip” the bias the other way just as easily…
And in reality, tossing a coin is NOT a random result, but rather it is stochastic – that is, controlled by processes so complex that the result, while theoretically predictable, is beyond the reach of human calculation and/or intuition. If you knew every detail of the coin, of the flipper, of the air through which it travels and the surface which it lands upon, you could faultlessly predict the outcome. But such information is beyond our abilities to collect, let alone analyse, so we call this sort of process “random” despite it technically being stochastic.

Israel has the right — and the duty — to besiege Gaza
By Avi Bell and Erielle Davidson
Israelis are still burying the 1,200 victims of the Saturday attack on southern Israel by Hamas, the Islamist terrorist group that seized power in Gaza in 2007.
As the assault unfolded, terrorists raped women and dragged them through the streets.
They decapitated babies in their cribs.
They slaughtered entire families in their homes.
Hundreds of civilians remain missing or held hostage in Gaza.
The sheer evil of Hamas’ deeds exceeds what can be conveyed in words.
Anything other than an end to Hamas’ rule will leave Israel’s and the world’s citizens unacceptably exposed to savage criminal activity.
Israel’s government has a duty to its citizenry and the world to move rapidly and effectively to use every lawful means of warfare to defeat Hamas; deny Hamas territory in which to operate; and kill or capture all Hamas terrorists.
The defense minister announced a “complete siege” on Gaza, meaning it will receive “no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel” from or through Israel.
Since Hamas’ ascent to power, Israel has continued to be the main conduit of trade and supply for the Gaza Strip, providing its own fuel, electricity, water and medical care to Palestinian civilians that Hamas neglects and abuses.
This isn’t viable during the military campaign.
For years, Hamas has exploited these transfers by stealing supplies and penetrating “humanitarian” organizations to mask its terror operations and launder funds.
Hamas’ wartime command-and-control center is located in the basement of Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, where the “humanitarian” supply of power and goods can serve the terrorists’ needs and Palestinian civilians’ misery can make them human shields.
Thus Israel cannot allow Hamas to resupply during the war; a complete siege is needed.
Unsurprisingly, the terrorists’ propaganda machine is working overtime accusing Israel of violating international law.
Hamas-controlled institutions, from the Gaza “health ministry” to Gazan “human rights” organizations, together with their Western allies in the United Nations and European Union, insist Israel has no legal right to besiege Gaza and is legally responsible for the price ordinary Palestinians are paying for Hamas’ actions.
These claims are perverse and without legal foundation.
Sieges are a well-known and lawful method of warfare.
Both the Geneva and Hague conventions include instructions on conducting sieges under international law, recognizing they may be effective tools for bringing a conflict to a rapid and successful end.
The basic rule they outline: Sieges are lawful unless deliberately aimed at starving the local population.
The unhinged rabies of the supporters of Hamas is an observable fact.
And that mental rabies is deliberately taught to children in Gaza.
That reminded me of this article:
Why the Mental Health of Liberal Girls Sank First and Fastest
Evidence for Lukianoff’s reverse CBT hypothesis
Reverse CBT; a lifetime of blaming others makes your mental health a disaster.
After MEMRI over many years has shows just what Palestinians are teaching their children and themselves it is no wonder that they have turned into a seething pit of vile snakes.
I have known a couple of Palestinians in Australia; one told me his brother had been murdered by the Iranians. The thing is, the best thing anyone has done for their children is get them out of the pit of snakes.
Gazaians need to turn on Hamas, they’ve tolerated them for far too long.
I’ve spent a couple of hours out exercising & listening to Lex speak with Jared Kushner.

Only part way through.
No notes, this is impressive.
He made the comment that 30,000 Hamas is holding 2mill people in Gaza hostage.
Based on current tech, tagging those 30,000 Hamas isn’t all that hard.
But ultimately it comes down to the 2mill Gazans getting rid of the 30,000 Hamas.

THE LEFT GETS A TASTE OF ITS OWN MEDICINE: Conservative group circles two trucks with photos, names of Pro-Palestinian Harvard students around Harvard Square.
Fallout from a controversial statement published and initially signed by about 30 student groups at Harvard University continued Wednesday as two trucks circled Harvard Square for much of the day, featuring the names and photos of students linked to the statement.
The billboard trucks, funded by the conservative news group Accuracy in Media, featured LED screens that changed throughout the day to feature at least a half dozen Harvard students under the words, “Harvard’s Leading Antisemites.” The trucks also linked to a website, HarvardHatesJews.com, which directs users to send messages to Harvard’s board of trustees.
“Tell them to take action against these despicable, hateful students,” the website reads. “Each and every one of these students should be expelled and their student organizations should be kicked off campus.”
Adam Guillette, president of Accuracy in Media, confirmed in an interview with the Boston Globe Wednesday evening that his organization sponsored the trucks.
“Our organization has sent two trucks to Harvard,” Guillette said. “They’ll be there for some time.”
I’m not in favor of cancel culture. On the other hand, I am a fan of irony and paybacks. And just a few years ago, all the best people were assuring me that it was laudable to punch Nazis. . . .
UPDATE: I think this stuff is getting their attention. Or at least that of Harvard president Claudine Gay. A Harvard friend writes: “Ha, I’ve got about 100 emails from Claudine Gay’s office.”
As the Instapundit Link does not work & Boston Globe Paywalled – from the Accuracy in Media Web Site – Brilliant look at videos of Billboard Trucks
The letter has received swift and widespread criticism.
31–yes 31–Harvard organizations have declared that the murders, rapes, kidnappings, and other atrocities committed by Hamas against innocent people are in no way the fault of Hamas, but are rather entirely the fault of … Israel. Something is deeply, deeply wrong in academia.

Accuracy in Media has been following antisemitism on college campuses. Last year, several Berkeley Law groups publicly banned pro-Israel speakers, so AIM sent mobile billboards to campus and gave students the chance to respond in a man-on-the-street video. They doubled down. So we named names and sent mobile billboards to their homes over Berkeley’s holiday break.

“… there is still a 12 mile border with Egypt, which being a good muslim country will allow their brothers to escape into, right?
But what of the Christians, 1,100 approx I understand.”
You realise that Egypt doesn’t want Hamas/Gazans to enter their country, right? I reckon if you turned up at that border and said “I am a christian fleeing persecution, please let me in!” you’d have a better chance of getting in than if you said you were muslim.
In any case: I’m very sorry for anyone, regardless of religion (or even lack thereof) who is not involved with the terrorists and doesn’t support them that live in that place, but at some point you have to accept the consequences of your choices. The place has been a hotbed of such actions (on both sides) for decades – if you are still there despite the history, then I think it fair to say you’ve decided to make a stand, and well, maybe that was a bad choice, you know?
It is, but there is a problem with freedom of the religion clause.
I’m all for it, albeit I don’t practice, BUT you can take on all the veneer of any culture, while you are an active member of a religion intent to convert or even kill all who don’t adhere to its tenets, common culture is irrelevant.
Bern, I understood, the one they picked on wasn’t protected. At least they tried another Kib in the area and were pushed back.
According to Elbow the voice will make us listen.
So, what the f### has been stopping them from listening all this time.
Hmmmm, 30,000 Hamarse, plus extended families probably add up to around half a million individuals. Finding some nation willing to accept that lot will not be easy.
Here’s the thing, the Kibbutzim are armed, heavily, but the arms are usually locked. It was early, early in the morning.
I don’t think any of the attendees at the “Rave for Peace” were armed, and what happened? It became a “rape for Jihad”.
I don’t know what percentage of Gazians support humus, but there must be a fair few.
I wonder how the war gaming of repercussions went.
I read a couple of days ago about a Gaza mum fleeing with her two young children somewhere else.

‘Deport them’: Peter Dutton lashes Palestinian protesters
Australia’s domestic spy agency has warned that “words matter” as the Liberal leader Peter Dutton erupted over pro-Palestine rallies.
Samantha Maiden
Australia’s domestic spy agency ASIO has warned that “words matter” and can inflame community tensions as the Liberal leader Peter Dutton calls for protestors to be “deported” over pro-Palestine rallies.
In a dramatic escalation of rhetoric, Mr Dutton said those who chanted anti-Semitic slogans should be thrown out of Australia.
Calling on the Prime Minister to cancel the visas of those who appeared to support Hamas, Mr Dutton slammed the protesters as unAustralian.
He also appeared to concede he had no direct evidence that those chanting the slogans were on temporary visas or in fact Australian citizens.
“If there were people there who were on visas, they should be identified and have their visas cancelled. They should be deported,” Mr Dutton told 2GB.
It comes as Mike Burgess, the Director-General of Security at ASIO warned that while the spy agency is not targeting lawful protest, it remains concerned about “the small subset of protesters who may wish to escalate protest to violence.”
ASIO said this includes “religiously motivated and ideologically motivated extremists.”
For now, ASIO said that Australia’s terror alert level remained unchanged.
“The tragic events in the Middle East are resonating in the Australian community, however the national terrorism threat level remains possible,’’ he said.
“Protests, rallies and associated activities are expected to continue, and are likely to feature strong emotive claims.
“I remain concerned about the potential for opportunistic violence with little or no warning.
Mr Dutton’s strong reaction to the protestors was slammed by pro-Palestinan Australians on social media by Twitter users including @amalfalastini.
“Peter Dutton calls for the deportation of pro-Palestinian protesters on 2GB,’’ she said.
“This is racial incitement and he is actively creating an unsafe community as we saw in the lead up to the Cronulla riots.”
He has also accused ministers ‘within the Labor Party’ of ‘inherent bias’.
“If they were non-citizens, and the police should be doing this now, then their visas should be before the minister, and on character grounds they should have their visas cancelled,’ he said.
“I don’t even know if that work is being done by the Albanese government. This is the frustration… you couldn’t be assured that that process was being considered.”
The NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley is facing calls to be sacked over her handling of Monday night’s chaos, in which protesters stormed the Sydney Opera House forecourt while chanting anti-Semitic phrases.
Opposition Leader Mark Speakman questioned why Ms Catley didn’t “probe” police to cancel Monday’s protests, or work with community leaders, or advise people to not attend the rally.
“We ask the Premier to replace the current minister with someone who is up to the job,” he said.
“There’s no evidence she even asked the police to stop it happening or asked why it couldn’t happen.
“When we’ve got a threat of increased tension around the world, (and) increased community tensions here, you need a minister who is at the top of her job and this minister, I regret to say, is not.”
Mr Dutton suggested that the Sydney protests where some attendees reportedly shouted “F*ck the Jews” would “go down in our country’s history” for all the wrong reasons.
“If there were people there who were on visas, they should be identified and have their visas cancelled. They should be deported,” Mr Dutton told 2GB.

So I looked up and found out that the total population of Gaza in 1960 was 1 million.
In 2021, it was up to 5 million.
So, that’s a quintuple increase for a “country being destroyed by genocide.” Last time I looked, genocide makes population go down…

Just reading that “Tones” is off on his yearly pollie (now + exes, I suppose!) 1000 kms bike riding wank-fest .. good on ’em for the money they’ll raise for charity but for the media to be waffling about “gruelling effort” is just a joke!
8 dayz comes down to around 125kms a day .. sounds a lot but these wankers only have to pedal (no doubt plotted to keep the uphill stretches to a minimum) traffic will be supervised and all meals, breaks and more importantly breakdowns/flats catered for by others ……
They should try it for real like I do .. 75 & average 40kms a day (6 dayz a week) in normal traffic/road conditions and a water bottle (warm after 15minutes LOL)
Take yesterday, flat tyre outside the Cambridge Hotel in Fairfield .. 12kms walk pushing bike home in 30C weather .. I knoze you should carry the gear BUT extra weight is extra weight! .. doesn’t alwayz work .. duuuuuh!
Anywayz, good luck to ’em but pleeze no publicity reporting on “effort” .. for them it’s a doddle …….. 8 dayz ..lunch, dinner & O/N stay for one of ’em, probably, costs more than this OAP grocery shops over 6 weeks ……
Wonder who throws all the other freebies in .. looking at the pix a single lycra extravaganza & helmet would run to several hundred dollars worth and I’m guessing they ain’t riding $130 bikes from Woolies/Kmart …

‘Not transparent’: The 10 Voice questions undecided referendum voters want answered
Polling shows the Voice is on track to be defeated unless the ‘Yes’ campaign wins over undecided voters. They have plenty of unanswered questions.
1. Why can’t the 11 elected Indigenous politicians provide advice on Indigenous matters?
2. Why are so many First Nations people voting no?
3. Why isn’t Labor being transparent with the detail of the Voice?
4. There are already a number of Indigenous advisory bodies, grassroots initiatives and billions of taxpayer dollars that address Indigenous disadvantage. How will a Voice enshrined into the constitution achieve better outcomes?
5. Does the Voice open the door to mandatory taxing of non-Indigenous Australians for reparations and land through a ‘pay the rent’ scheme?
6. Why has the Voice not been implemented through legislation and trialled before taking Australia to a referendum?
7. Why do we need to enshrine something that is racially divisive into the Constitution?
8. If it can only give advice what is the point? How do we know it won’t be ignored?
9. Will there be a treaty making process if a Yes vote is successful and how will this impact non-Indigenous Australians?
10. How can the Voice be representative of all Indigenous communities across Australia?

Despite the heartbreaking evidence of babies beheaded, petrol poured over Israelis who were then set alight, I had a person this morning try to suggest that this may have been made up by the Israelis to discredit Hamas. I replied that the international media were specifically allowed to view the bodies. Yet they were still sceptical. I mean…do they think that the Israelis did it themselves??? Talk about cognitive dissonance!
Why do many on the Left of politics tie themselves in knots rather than accept the truth ?
“I wonder how many of those attendees were not unsympathetic to the Palestinian “cause.””
I suspect they were young, naive, and idealistic kids, who probably vote left and believe in the idea of a two state solution.
The same people who bang on about “occupied” Palestine are also warning Israel not to attack or invade.
How can you attack or invade territory if you already “occupy” it?

I expect the feedback was a bit more direct through BWS than Coles.
Many (most?) Palestinians and all of Hamas are not interested in a two state solution, but only “driving all Jews into the sea” (i.e. killing them).
Yet only Israel is supposed to make concessions to them.

I wonder how many people noticed the Aboriginal flags at the Hamas concert?
Seem to recall mentions of an “Intifada” if the “No” vote got up.
That aged well.
Toppie, as I understand the backstory, the original design of the ship was slightly narrower, and would have been OK to pass under the bridge.
But, in the great tradition of fiddling with designs after the tender has been let, the genius Top Men at the Antarctic Division decided to make it wider. Not only did this increase the cost, it made it too wide to safely navigate under the bridge. They didn’t bother to check this minor detail, though (see: train carriages, Sydney, platforms, clearance from, etc, etc.)
The AAD senior management are obviously incompetent, as this is not the first time they have stuffed up in a big way. The whole construction and commissioning process has been a hot mess.
Time to put a firehose through the joint.
I wonder how many people noticed the Aboriginal flags at the Hamas concert?
I saw a lot of footage & didn’t see that.
Pretty sure I saw a Kosovo flag though.
Poor timing by them.
No mention of ‘gruelling effort’ in the linked article shatterzzz.
In fact highlights were getting out to chat to locals and raising money for a worthwhile charity.
I have been thinking about those Christians left in Gaza. The only thing other Christians can do, at this point, is pray for them.
It would be best if they were able to leave. That is what I hope. They have stayed because it’s their home, and also because they are doing what Christians always try to do – serve God by example and where possible, by spreading the Good News.
I imagine many will decide to stay even now, a conscious decision to remain until the darkness falls. They are saints.
I had understood that Egypt, Jordan and other countries keep them in there at bayonet point.
Originally, so they could be proxies for those countries genocidal plans.
Later, because the Palestinians are a cancer on host societies and bring trouble something fierce.
Rococo Liberal, that is how I understand it also. I have family there.
Plenty noticed. There were at least two such flags.

1. Nowhere have I “blamed” 9/11 on the Jews and
2. Nowhere have I “blamed” the Hamas attacks on the psychopathic, impulsive, brain dead dross of Washington, the NeoCons.

So I looked up and found out that the total population of Gaza in 1960 was 1 million.
In 2021, it was up to 5 million.
So, that’s a quintuple increase for a “country being destroyed by genocide.” Last time I looked, genocide makes population go down…”
Here’s what a real genocide does..
In 1939 there were 16,600,000 million Jews in the world
In 2018 there were 14,511,000 Jews in the world.
Even after 78 years, world Jewry is still yet to recover from the Holocaust.
Apparently there is some concern arising about Saturday.
Not enough folks have pre-polled apparently.
Big queues, a hot day and a touchy referendum subject could create problems.
This may just be a local concern.
Tourists are always an issue here. Absentee voting is time consuming and tourist numbers can only be guessed.
Personaly I have had enough of the booth. I have reluctantly allowed myself to be roped in for Saturday but I’m not enthused. The celebratory ‘elevenses’ on Sunday had better be good.
In line with Albanese’s call for togetherness one of our wags has printed invitations to Sunday’s knees-up to hand to the Yesers when polls close on Saturday. Not exactly ecumenical, but stuffem.

1. Why would you have a loud rave concert next door to the border with the worst fcuking arseholes in the world?
How stupid has the West become?
2. If you’re going to run a Kibbutz close by to the same border, how could you not have armed guards that are appropriately armed?
Appropriate questions. Answer to 1. Totally…
Digital technology will destroy us. Our reliance on satellites, computers and electronic gadgetry is terminal. Israel replaced border guards with elaborate cameras, listening devices, seismic meters etc and a large part of the downfall was the Palestinians understanding that knocking those over gave them time. Time the Israeli’s spent looking at screens and trying to figure out why there were breakdowns. Time the Palestinians used to kill over 1000 Israeli’s.
I recently bought a new Ford Ranger Raptor ($100k) and the owners manual is digital and only readable on the large screen in the car. I asked them how it is possible to read the manual to find out how to trouble shoot why the electrical system has failed when the manual cannot be opened because the electrical system has failed.
They couldn’t answer so they said they would print me a manual. The official Ford dealership could not print a copy of the manual because when this model Ranger was released last year Ford locked access to a printable version.

INSIDE THE FACTORY THAT ONLY BUILDS WHITE TOYOTAS
Welcome to Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings (TGS), the world’s most remarkable car dealership
“We don’t really think of them as cars,” TGS co-chief executive Jonathan Gourlay tells me. “We’re just giving our customers a tool that does a job, whether that’s feeding children or delivering medicines.”
You might think, like me, that the 70 Series Land Cruiser is utterly cool and want one very badly, but cool plays no role here – this is transport at its most fundamental. Simplicity, capability and reliability overrule everything.
“If you look back 25 years, there were a few players in this market,” Gourlay continues. “There was Land Rover, there was Nissan and Mitsubishi, but gradually they’ve focused on building what I’d call ‘first world’ vehicles for Europe and North America.
But Toyota still builds a 4.2-litre non-turbo diesel. You can’t register a new one in Europe because of its emissions, but it doesn’t go wrong and any mechanic can fix it in the field because there’s no electronics around it. You don’t need diagnostic tools, you just need to know how an engine works.”

DrBG, I’ve come to realise that what I expected of them is now what I consider a bonus.
The Muslim member of NSW parliament, Labor of course, is whining about the poor civilians in Gaza without water or power. All I can say, they are still alive which is more than can be said of the Israeli victims of his co-religionists.
That’s okay Tom. Encourage other airlines to traipse over here. With the price of tickets, there would be takers.
Digger check to see if you have a factory towbar. I know of a guy who got an aftermaket one fitted from a different model but the early Raptors weren’t allowed to have a towbar. No insurance in a prang. May have changed for later models. He had to sell it.

Our lives are complicated but full of love and respect. As they should be.
Cassie, Jewry will probably never recover fron 6 million being annihilated. Australia still hasn’t recovered from WWI. So many young men from rural life. For Jews, whole families. Never again.
I would like to make a prediction that powered hang gliders will soon be outlawed in Gaza and Israel if not the whole of Middle East. Once you use a machine to invade another country and kill civilians it will be banned from any other use.

Our Outback Travel Australia restoration project, rebuilding and modifying a LandCruiser 75 Series tray-back, is an ongoing exercise.
Our OTA project vehicle could hardly be more different from our first. We’d tested the revolutionary Land Rover Discovery 3 and reckoned it was the best wagon on the Australian market, so we bought one and drove it outback for three years and just under 200,000km.
It never let us down in the bush, went through trackless deserts without major issues and was the most advanced 4WD wagon in our estimation – soured by lousy quality control and computer-related issues that Land Rover Australia wasn’t interested in curing. If the Japanese or Koreans had built it we’d probably still have it!
Our current project is as far – electronically speaking – as you can get from a Discovery: it’s a LandCruiser 75 Series tray-back that already had 300,000+km on it. It doesn’t have a single piece of electronic gadgetry in it – apart from the radios, an infotainment screen and a Doran tyre pressure monitoring system.
We’d christened the Land Rover ‘Larry’, so the 75 Series HJ just had to be ‘Harry’.

No. The scrap metal from the World Trade Center has been distributed nationwide and throughout the world. Most has been made into or reserved for memorials. 7.5 short tons (6.8 t) of the steel for instance was used in the construction of the USS New York.
Wrong. Much of the steel was analyzed by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2009.
One, not two, Carrier Battle Groups (USS Gerald Ford) is on station in the eastern Mediterranean as is a Marine Amphibious Ready Group of two ships (one is a helicopter carrier). They are there for two reasons. To be prepared to act if required to rescue US citizens being held hostage by Hamas and to let Israel know they aren’t alone. They have no other foreseen role relative to Hamas.
I’m always amazed at how some just dream such tripe up to support their agenda thinking that nobody knows better or will fact-check them.

She reminds me of those European victims of rape and other crimes who won’t co-operate with the police because it might reinforce ‘stigmatisation’ or something. Their care factor for other potential victims is zero, it is all about feeling good about themselves.
This woman would have had to be deaf and blind not to know that anti-semitism was rife among the people she was working among. Not just ‘I don’t like Jews’ – we’re talking drive them into the sea stuff.
I’m sorry she died, but I have to say that some people are so deluded that their trajectory is not surprising.
The fact that in book one he told the joke about having brown eyes because you’re full of shit three times is telling you something. And explaining all the pop- culture references tells you what he thinks of his readers.
He’s probably right.
And yet, the real reason for him supporting it he remains steadfastly reticent: the dismantling of Australia to be replaced by a glorious people’s revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat.
You see, it is often said that science advances one death at a time but this is even more the case for the leftist ideology where each generation wants to slit the ideological throat of the one before so they alone can be the only true and final champions for whom history has been clearing a special place.
Phatty Adams is a 1970’s lefty. He still thinks it is about working classes and bourgeoises and tractor factories and shit. But he will put up with all the current lefty stuff because it all tends toward the required annihilation of Australia, when it will be discovered that his 1970’s undergraduate fixations are the real battle after all.
There is not a lefty luminary not held aloft by ego. That thing is utterly impervious to evidence and reflection. Look at Bernie Sanders – he and The Squad could not even agree on what pizza to eat. But they all believe they uniquely embody the purest essence of the left.

A little background on why Israel cannot be allowed to exist… according to the original weird beard himself…
The existence of a Jewish homeland in what was once Islamic controlled land is a horrible, unspeakable affront to the Islamists. A place conquered is supposed to stay conquered for all time or Mo was just a fraud.
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/islam-rsquo-s-house-of-islam-and-house-of-war
The ” west” keeps trying a political solution to a theological problem.
The Pallis can never be forgiven or reintegrated back into the wider world of Islam until they have extirpated their terrible sin of losing some of Mos sacred turf.
That’s why they can inherent refugee status, because they are carrying a terrible stain according to the weird beards of Islam.
I have brown eyes btw. Just so you know. 😀
On Twitter-X, it has been interesting to see the support coming from India for the Israelis.
Once you have been subjected to Islamic terrorism, you tend to sympathise with others who have experienced the same.
