Fair point but there are technology advancements that require less personnel to achieve better outcomes. For instance our 4500 tonne, 133 metre DDG’s (Guided Missile Destroyers) had a crew of 333. The Air Warfare Destroyers which replaced them are 7700 tonnes, 147metres, far more versatile, better armed, far superior sensors and have a crew of 186 (plus 16 air crew).

Cannibalism and infanticide are signs of civilization?
Spot-on.
I’ve mentioned previously, as have others, that one of, if not THE, greatest poison within the indigenous body, is the deeply entrenched (interred, as you more wisely express it) leadership caste. A caste which depends for its survival on neither offering (genuinely) nor implementing, practical, measurable solutions for the benefit of those it feeds from.
One wonders how long the host can continue to provide nutrients for the parasites?
DiL has discovered all the crap for her Phd has been surpassed, most upset. I asked her if all the previous studies were crap in that case. Stone cold silence.

Phew, sea breeze is just starting to push in, here in the NE of the SW of WA… might not have been the highest temp of the year, but lack of air movement has made a pretty punishing afternoon, hence me sitting here in the office, all a-mutter on the pixels. Wife n kids are in Albany with her parents, both of which have skated through some pretty debilitating accidents and episodes without getting any closer to the door of assisted living.
Very tempted to crack a tinnie. Committed to slow-roasting some beef ribs which have been marinading, which will add another layer of sizzle to an already par-boiled house.. I’d go down the beach, but I’d have to tie up the doggo and leave her home… Sal the Champion Camp Dog has broken a toe, like rangey whippet crosses can tend to, yet I know as soon as the sun goes down she’s going to put on a grin and a wiggle and thrash her body like it’s a car she’s stolen, like rangey whippet crosses tend to. And I’ve got an horse to faff with.
Ok, midstrength it is. I’ll wash the dog, with premium horse shampoo, that’ll be fun, she can get the speed trials out of her system early and then snooze on the floorboards while I spin some psych-rock rekkids.

Jew leaves Australia to fight for his true homeland: Israel.
Remember, a Jew is a Jew is a Jew is a Jew; his tribe and his “people” are above all other things to him.
In other words, he was a Jew living in Australia, and never an Australian.
This is why no Jew can be trusted when it comes to Israel.

My mate is getting some work done to a heritage building. Dealing with hysterical heritage officers has just about done him in. Finally after 10 years he is removing an add on that wasn’t in the original drawings or the improvements done by the architect shortly after. There is a small side entrance that is rotten but he is not allowed to replace it until it falls down. It has site fencing around it to stop bits falling on people. In the 60’s it was cement plastered which trapped the salty moisture in the limestone. The hysterical officers can’t even read the blueprints. They just liked it the way it was coz they’d always known it that way. Pressure was brought to bear (not a polar bear, HBBEAR) through the son of the local media baron. Still not optimum but a start.

Too noticeable, buying it all in one go. Acid is in fact preferred, as long as you are prepared to stir the body within the mixture periodically.
Step 1: Buy and install a pool.
2: Buy smaller quantities of hydro acid at various businesses and stockpile them over time.
3: Then, and only then immerse body in acid (not in the pool).
4: Stir vigorously with a stout stick every fortnight for 26 fortnights.
5: Job done. Use remnants of substance as weed killer for the following year.
6: In the unlikely event you are then spoken to by the authorities, say ‘of course I bought hydro. I needed it to sort the pool out’.

‘The mood is heating up’: Germany fears strikes will play into hands of far right
Angry protests by farmers, hauliers and railway workers risk being exploited by populists such as Alternative für Deutschland
The symbolism that German farmers chose to express their discontent with the government in the first days of the new year was as unambiguous as it was ominous: by the side of rural roads across the country, there were sightings of makeshift gallows dangling traffic-light signs, a reference to the colours of the three governing parties.
The chilling sculptures are harbingers of unprecedented cross-sector protests and strikes hitting German roads and railways from Monday, and speak of a dramatic change of mood in a country long feted for its consensus-seeking approach to industrial relations, especially compared with its more traditionally strike-prone neighbour France.

Currently in Sunny; penultimate day of our holiday. Dearly Beloved’s birthday today so junior daughter took us to lunch. Went to Catalina in Rose Bay (?). Saw Vaucluse on the Uber driver’s map as we went and wondered if Lizzie was anywhere nearby.
Faultless service and fabulous food but my God! The prices! Three courses, fixed price $150 pp BUT at least 50% of the dishes then had a surcharge PLUS the kicker at the end was a 10% surcharge ‘cos Sunday. With a modest wine daughter was up for well over $600.

I was very happy to hear this morning that Shia LaBeouf has become a Christian. He was a guy who wandered over the Earth for a long while, but God appears to have called him home. Interesting arc: I liked what he did in Constantine, which is a graphic novel movie with a Catholic flavour, but after that he went full lefty TDS. Then he had a role as a Catholic monk a couple years ago. Being steeped in the Bible seems to’ve helped him come out of the wilderness. Best wishes Mr LaBeouf.

About the shells, are they importing empty casings, or fully ready shells? And how? If the Russians are importing empty shells from the Norks, intending to fill them with their own explosives, while not touching their stockpiles from the eastern regions then a shipload or ten from NK makes more sense than a railcar over the 9,000 km of track that may not be in perfect order.
Given the known problems with recruitment and retention, we need to move to crewless ships and submersibles as soon as we can. Unfortunately, I suspect that not much of the new acquisition funds will be directed that way. I suspect that the RN is also planning to follow that course.
On that subject, the RN is about to pay off two Type 23 frigates, reducing the escort force (destroyers and frigates) to 15 vessels, six destroyers and nine frigates. Both LPDs are also being paid off. The RN (including the RM) is now down to about 30,000 uniformed personnel. Good luck to the RAN if they intend to try to recruit from there.
Cassie,
I see you came across Teresa on Twitter.
I was following her on Twitter for a while as good on the vaccine and the Voice etc. Not even sure if she is still following me.
However as with a few others 7 Oct and subsequent Tweets revealed a side I could not ignore and after making a few appropriate comments regarding her views I unfollowed her. Definite holocaust denier country in her following. She seems immature and a bit confused about what she thinks but life is too short to engage with such people. She has also taken shots at Avi.
Winston – yes, but mercury and zinc have similar chemistry. The zinc in the Derwent oysters came from the Risdon zinc refinery. At Minamata the company was using mercuric sulfate as a catalyst for manufacturing acetaldehyde. Wastewater contained mercury – which was accumulated in shellfish that the locals ate.
These days the legislation is tight. I did a job for the Pirie lead smelter once to upgrade their effluent treatment plant. The copper level we had to meet for their wastewater was lower than the naturally occurring level in sea water. So by discharging our wastewater we were making the natural ocean cleaner.
LOL. Very funny how these claims are made a week after RUS launched the largest drone/ missile attack of the war over several nights, when they supposedly should have run out of missiles by now.

That’s a fair comparison, but does it leave enough crew for damage control? I would assume it does, but has the question come up?
For those keen on old American cars, years ago there was an issue in the US with mercury accumulation in swordfish, which led to a skit with the punchline: “He found a swordfish in his Mercury”.
I should say that zinc is nearly harmless, since it is essential for the “zinc finger” enzyme which reads DNA. But that’s then the problem with mercury and lead – they have similar chemistry and can interfere in the zinc biochemistry. Being bivalent they can also interfere with calcium chemistry, which is important to nerve function – which is why lead and mercury also affect the nervous system.
Minamata disease may’ve been more about dimethylmercury though – a very very nasty chemical.

I could never quite shake off the sense that Sydney University – the original university in Sydney – was crippled from the outset with its motto
Sidere and mutato representing a split absolute ablative.
This is a university which was founded in 1850 when classics were far more prominent in any notion of higher eduction.
I believe they have adopted a more modern motto, written in its own obsolete language that most students do not know: English.

“Heritage” listing private property reeks of serfdom. The hoops and strictures which England puts on its various graded houses and gardens should never have outlived King John.
There’s also strictures put on Italian buildings in various primo tourist areas which virtually lead to a depopulation of rural areas and an ingress of absentee DINKS and weekenders. I worked on a few dodgy buildings being made into dwellings- one was a grand old pile which had been converted to a piggery, and was being converted back, and one was a stinking 300-y-o dovecote- because it was impossible to add to the rooflines of anything standing, let alone build anything new.

Belgorod is suffering from FAFO. Ukraine has studiously avoided attacking Russian civilian targets and Russian national territory for nearly two years. I suspect they were told by sugar daddy not to do that. But Russia has been getting all Bomber Harris lately and that gives moral cover to Ukraine returning the favour. It’ll be interesting how this turns out – there are unstated rules to warfare and Russia just broke one of them.
At a model railway meeting I was talking to a paint historian who had been researching colours on old railway carriages, literally peeling back the layers 1by 1 to get to the “true” colour.
He was telling about a commission he had from a couple who were restoring a heritage house. He found and documented the original colours the house was painted when built in 18whetever, and couple had the house painted accordingly. Cue council threatening to massively fine them because not approved heritage colours.

Sure. That is why I use the Bell Curve. Some people, and in my opinion, most, do need a strong ethical system to measure themselves for their family. This is the majority. They dont need to act ethically all the time, but they need what is right and wrong. What do you tell your kids when they misbehave? And what do you say when they say “Why?”
Yours is a legacy system from how you were taught as a kid. Your life was framed from an early age. Like mine. I have a measure from my wonderful and strict parents.
Think of this: marketing, journalism, PR, politics, management and similar subjects are taught at University. This is teaching people to tell lies as the norm, as the standard. What can an 18 year old being taught this at Uni do?
So basically I am not talking about you who thinks about ethics. Most people just get on with earning a living and will go with the flow.
By the way, this is not an slight on religion, either. The belief is a different issue.

Too often, we are given an undemanding faith. Not understood is that we can’t approach the Father by ourselves. He hears us only insofar as we are joined to His Son. In particular we do as all other religions do, we obey a human instinct, we offer a sacrifice; we join ourselves to His sacrifice and unite ourselves to Him by eating His body and drinking His blood offered for us. In doing this we become most fully ourselves.

Ackman had two monster trades in the past few years netting the fund around $US4 billion.
He bought a huge amount of puts on stocks in 2020, just as the pandemic was rolling in and closed the position just before the Fed began easing. US$2 billion
He shorted bonds just as bond yields turned and closed the closed at the highest yields seen around October last year. US$2 billion

I know of over half a dozen diving officers and sailors who have done so. I know of none who have done the reverse…
It’s the equivalent of a CEO position, you fat goofball. A CEO position managing an endowment of $50 billion and operating revenues of around US$6 billion according to Bard. The CEO has to also ensure the universities ratings are maintained and donors raked over for more money. It’s a complex job and not for diversity hires.
Yeah, he’s really dumb, just the opposite of a genius like you.
Chris Ruffo is also on his side
Rufo is one of my heroes. He, along with Brett Weinstein, Andy Ngo and Peter Boghossian all come from the Demonrat sewers of Portland and Seattle.
Yeuk. You’re disgusting.

BREAKING:
RON DESANTIS CALLED THE COPS ON ME AND HAD ME REMOVED FROM HIS IOWA CAMPAIGN EVENT TONIGHT EVEN THOUGH I HAD A TICKET!
Of course you worship Ackman, JC. You could only dream of that volume of rent.
Bill Ackman and Elon Musk called DEI ‘racist’ but companies need it to succeed, experts say

This is one reason for my optimism. All this has been made possible because Musk bought Twitter and turned it into a free speech machine. The old guard would’ve have choked off Ackman as soon as he got started.
Ngo was banned from Twitter by the old gang. Weinstein, was also shut down or muted too.
The work that Ackman &Co are doing has been incredible and appears that it will continue. He’s on a roll. He’s the ballsiest trader around at the moment.
M0nty is only upset with Ackman (an actual liberal in the American sense) because he went off the reservation and demanded the anti-Semitic professor of Harvard be sacked.
If Claudine Gray was a conservative mOnty would be praising Ackman for his wanting her removal.

my sentiments entirely …
May i share an anecdote ?… from when i was in jail .. make of it what you will…
Bloke I was in jail with put a frontier between him and me … You know Electronics and Mathematics and all that stuff but I am just a down trodden bloke told I was stupid .. et gosh ectera… ~big snivel~ Poor Me … But the guy could do Suduko … now why the gosh any one would bother with that shit I have no clue … But I said to him .. If you brain is wired up to do that I can teach you proper Mathematics. .. and I did …I got Him thorough all the Cartesian stuff… it is gosh easy .. and he did … and it was. But then Calculus is a gosh piece of gosh . Which it is ..
Its all about infintesimals etc … No gosh bovver … and He got that for True ..
But that was where it got interesting … He began to realise that He was always perfectly capable of grasping High School Maths ..it flat out isnt hard … and he was doing very well ..
Just that He had made a determination that Maths at that Level was “not for the likes of Him” ..and he had been told it wasnt for the likes of Him … OK well by whom ? Did you ever try to get a grip on the subject with your own resources… Because I havent had any difficulty coaching you ? … Being the thicko you so clearly are I thought I might have “signed a check I couldn’t cash” just to make a point about level of education .. I am probably stupider than you are …if things can be measured like this … So why cant you do Calculus ? It isnt because you cant ..beacuse you are doing it now … Who told you you couldn’t ? I dont reckon it was any one else but you’re self … Because you clearly can. And If I hadnt coached you you could have done it for your self with some motivation. Only motivation we had Is on a notional bet. If I wasnt in jail to stick a boot up your arse you could have easily done it for yourself .
So “In the Final Analysis” nothing was stopping you from becoming adept at Calculus except for some lack of a conception of self worth ( council for the prosecutor … nah he was gosh up in a bunch of other directions ..) (Council for the Defence .. well there is a least one corner knocked of the pathetic piece of gosh … which he was ..at least he is now ready to encompass differentials. ) … AFAIK Old Mate never sucked one gosh in Jail… Call that a Win ?
Geez, the resident pervert apologist can’t help himself with his Nazi tropes about Jews.
The scab is well and truly off now.

No worries. I got a bit prickly when I first read your original, taking it to mean “ If you’re not going to church you won’t be any good”.
I see what you’re getting at now.
I wonder if the proliferation of these ungrounded humanists in leadership/power is why we ended up locked down with vaccine mandates and all the punitive measures?
Going to bed to the sound of gentle ElNino rain on the roof (another 30mm) and a beautiful cool breeze.
This is one reason for my optimism. All this has been made possible because Musk bought Twitter and turned it into a free speech machine. The old guard would’ve have choked off Ackman as soon as he got started.
I agree, JC.
Old Guard Twitter was banning anyone who posted anything negative about the Hiden crime family and issues dealing with the election steal. This isn’t going to happen this time around.
What would be the reaction if somebody referred to Mooslimes as “descendants of pigs” and “monkeys?”
Ackman is a classic vampire squid, completely without merit as a human. No wonder he likes Trump.
Busy rewatching Godfather 11 but smelt the usual decay of arrogant uselessness coming from the thread and realised dickless had slimed in again.
Ackman has as much to do with Trump and Trump’s values as you do with a real man. No, that’s not quite true. Ackman, a self indulgent, Jewish demorat, objected to the black lesso harvard bitch because she was anti-semitic. Like some liberal Jews the penny has dropped and he realises that while he may not be first in line to the left/muzzie assault coming he will be in the queue. So he is now crawling around in Trump’s shadow. What is happening in Israel now would not have happened under Trump but Ackman, like all rich liberals was too soft and self indulgent to see the difference.
Anyway Ackman has come around a bit but you’re still a vile piece of shit. Fuk off and die.
No, I admire his guts and intelligence.
I’ve done okay. I’m not greedy. But yes, you have to be worth a billion these days to be considered rich. The rest of us are just poor schleps.
That’s a fair comparison, but does it leave enough crew for damage control? I would assume it does, but has the question come up?
I think the Falkland’s War changed a lot of thinking and response to damage control. For instance every sailor now wears a personal 8 minute air supplied respirator during action stations so there is an expectation of less debilitating casualties. The Brits lost about 360 sailors during the war and the vast majority of those perished because of toxic gases and fumes as a result of fires started by unspent Exocet rocket fuel. The Brits also learned that having the main firefighting pumps and fire abatement equipment for the engine room located in the engine room was very counter productive and resulted in casualties and the loss of vessels.
I think damage control is still reasonably well covered because every sailor in the RAN must learn and pass pretty stringent training in firefighting and damage control on a repetitive basis. Relying solely on specialist damage control teams is counter productive to a degree because one hit can eradicate 50% or more of a ships response capability and the other team may be prevented from responding because of damage or their own commitments.

I am delighted you enjoyed it … as did I .. it is ExTrOrDiNary !!! … but the rest of his stuff is Opiate moody…. probably not very good in all Truth .. but thought provoking …
First and likely only time round ..
Peace Brother …
I remember all the shrieks and outrage from the left when Musk bought Twitter, because it was the end of democracy or something.
Previously, the left had said that leftist social media platform owners like Zuckerberg could do as they liked, because, “as a private business it was their right to do so.”
Then when Musk came along the left did a complete U-turn.
And the twitter files showed us all how that worked. Lefties are liars and cheats.

Just as I was pretending to my case manager I cant speak English … only Russian “Priviete” I was pretending that I was still only alive in the 80s … Catweazle .. By the Sword Divided .. Rumpole of the Bailey … The Expert … back when writers wrote and actors acted.
My Case Manager is a lady of infinite patience …

BJ, you mentioned Mercury. Old bloke at the end of the street had a 48 Mercury coupe. He owned the local garage. From new that car only ever went 2 miles a day, his holiday consisted of a 6 mile drive to a house he rented across the road from my granddad overlooking the ocean and beach. He died when I was 11 or 12, his wife sold it for $400. That car looked brand new when he died. Nice to remember.

Fascinating comment.
All I have ever read was how it was all Romes fault.
Please explain your understanding of the schism between Rome and Constinople and why Constantinople was left alone to defend against the Turks.
Thanks.

Glad to see you back Sunshine …. they hate my guts far more now than they ever did yours … so now you can number in with the comfortable Normies
Cheers Mate !
Damage control in the RAN is taught very well.
They have artificial ships with all sorts of way to allow sudden flooding. You are shown how to stop the leaks using massive baulks of wood; long bracing beams, and smaller bits which you happily bang into the holes while getting very wet.
There’s also firefighting where you get to do all of the positions in the team: attack hose, waterwall, thermal camera etc. They set real fires in pans of diesel and you have to go into the artificial ship and drag out “the body” which is a dummy.
Not too good if you do the course in winter though.

Fire fighting is terrifying and if it isn’t , we need you to go home.
I can only speak about bush fires.. if you have the kit you can punch a hole in a wall of fire. But only if there is a good reason to do so…
I had some dealings with dwellings and didnt like it … I once talked a mad women out from under her bed ,, into Safety … as it happened we got the fire away from her house… But if we hadnt and if it did …
Fires are like that.
New OT up.
Iran is using the Houthis in the shipping channel like the economic oil war against Israel after the ’73 war, but they’re doing it as part of the war strategy. It’s another front – Gaza, Hezbolla, international press, the UN, and this economic front.
It’s the “Gotta_show_the_world_Israel_ruins_everything war”.
Disposing of bodies via porcine means is quick and efficient. According to Bricktop.
I see that the new talking points have arrived.
PS, using “squid”, a creature close in appearance to the octopus used by the Nazis to attack Jews, might not have been a smart choice by the DemonRats. While stupid lickspittles like Fat Boy miss the connection, others can now see the open embrace of anti-Semitism by the left.
Excellent.
