FFS, could we stop commenting on Johanna’s alleged behaviour, please.
All it does is just allow various commenters to go all self righteous on everybody else’s (allegedly) house sized bottomages.
Enough. 😕
calli, I did think this morning, before I had a bad fall which I won’t go into, that I would ask Dover if I could email you privately.
Be fair DOT, those two have revealed the blatant media and judicial bias against men.

Even decamping to France can’t stop the Brittany show, although this is an off Broadway sideshow alley event. The Big Top is in intermission. Marty and Co are yet to commence hostilities in the West. I hope Britt and Dave haven’t spent all that cash on croissants and pate.

Off the pace? Yeah, that has been noted.
Calli, for what it’s worth, I will always have your back.
You are a Cat gem, an honest, down-to-earth Christian woman who posts from her heart and her integrity. I know you don’t seek or want white-knighting; I would normally not say this, but I sense your despair ATM and if I could, I would hope to alleviate it because you, of all people do not deserve to feel this way.
You just know that the Doverlord’s inbox is heaving like a first-year uni student after happy hour.

Like all good scandals it seemingly dies before flaring up seemingly of its own accord.

A lot of self-improoooovers have taken the primacy of nasal breathing to some dumb extremes like mouth taping at night and trying to train themselves as athletes whilst completely eschewing mouth breathing at all.
This is rather insane to me. What about some of the benefits of mouth breathing during or just after heavy exercise:
Adrenaline release after the heavy (and mouth) breathing stimulates the sympathetic nervrous system?
Surely this keeps your adrenal glands regular, prevents adrenal fatigue and presents the mind and body with a “training system” to deal with an adrenal dump in serious situations?
Also, the short-term boost in adrenaline surely is better than constant vasodilation from nitric oxide in terms of performance? This would allow for greater training of cardiovascular muscle and vascular health? My immunity is downregulated for an hour a few times a week – there’s still another 160 or so hours a week it can be upregulated?
On top of enhancing muscular performance, it also would contribute to an increase in skills or being in “the zone” – thereby in itself increasing physical performance and skillfulness as new limits are reached?

For the past 7 odd or so years small business was able to write off capital equipment purchases in the first year. I’m sure lots of businesses took up the opportunity. Sure, it was available for small firms but still productivity has been dismal. How can the growth rate be this bad here?
jc at 2200
the clue is in part what you discussed earlier
minimum wages
i actually don’t think the minimum has a lot of impact in times of high employment
a lot of people are paid overs
when a recession hits the lack of flexibility in wage rates deepens and lengthens it
that and tony burqas other stunts … eliminating casuals, making sackings near impossible, along with relatively generous soshul security
All of that.
I’m just saying heaven is not achieved by swotting.
Leave that stuff to islam.
The immunity dip is of no consequence. If there is an issue an FBE with an immune cell count will find it. For elite athletes it might be an issue but they are monitored. IIRC it is a risk for endurance athletes. I read a news report about fasting the other day. It can induce a strange effect where immune cells migrate to the bone marrow. Weird but probably only until the fast breaks.
One of the possible causes of high blood pressure is nitric oxide uncoupling, where eNOS is diverted to produce nitrogen radicals(?) rather than NO. If ONOO- is produced, that is a problem.
Nitric oxide is a critical vasodilator, always in operation. I’m not convinced nasal breathing makes an important difference. Arginine is a critical substrate, deficiency very unlikely. There is a potential problem with boosting arginine intake to increase NO production. iNOS, inducible nitric oxide, has an entirely different function. Potent inflammatory agent. It appears that eNOS is tightly contained in the cell with a g. cyclase target whereas iNOS releases NO into the general area because it can hurt nasties.
A safer approach might be citrulline. Found in some foods(water melon). Kidneys slowly convert it to arginine. Water melon consumption has been shown to have a slight benefit for blood pressure.
Don’t see a problem with adrenaline release. It may even play a role in reducing immune function. My belief is that short bursts of adrenaline release is good for the brain.
KD, I abstracted relevant comments from 7.04 to 8.23am on Friday, not all of them, In that listing. Contrary to what you claim, I have included. ‘This site is full of cowards’, as one of my own comments. I said it because not one person had after that dreadful spray by Johanna declared against her in any way whatsoever. Calli attemped a deflection instead. Btw, Calli my children had a Jewish step-granny whose funeral I attended in the UK last year and my sister’s second husband is a well known Jewish intellectual who used to comment here. There is a lot of reinventing Friday’s history now as everyone frantically back pedals to maintain their credibility. The ticks are now absent from Friday’s thread which alters the tone and tenre of the day. It was a disgrace. Watching Outsiders today simply reinforces my view that if you don’t speak out when you see Jew hatred, you are complicit in it.
As for Johanna, there is bothing even vaguely amusibg about her ill-considered attacks on me and others. She owe’s Cassie an apology. Let’s heat some of you current squealers say so.
As for ‘flounces’, I won’t contribute to a toxic site. Dover may manage to tone it down. KD, plenty of others who come here are well off. Have a go at them for your amusement.
I am better off away from here. I have been seeing today just how ill my 83 year old sister is. Brings back memories of caring for my mother. Life is grim and hard in its essence but when people are kindly things can improve. I am here right now for Cassie, to get people here to reflect on her feistiness in the face of awful attack. She is kindly.
I am on my phone so plenty os typos, about to watch Belgravia. Better than being here.
this is excellent news

There are people who have used the (extremely righteous) Israeli-Hamas conflict as a vehicle to pursue their ingrained and years-long grievances against each other.
Now that is disgraceful.
There certainly is.
Does anyone know where the demand for no contact out of hours legislation came from?
Should we be calling it Sally’s Law?
A few reasons off the top of my head:
Small businesses don’t use much capital as sole traders. A single CPA doing taxes doesn’t need much capital but can be very productive: a builder; their productivity won’t change unless they grow from apprentice to qualified; OR they get more business. There’s a limit as to what they can do.
Government projects like the NBN and Snowy 2.0 have been mismanaged and are laughably behind schedule.
COVID and lockdowns
Any business they could invest in is usually in highly regulated (sometimes, out of existence)
Government contracting is a form of barrier to entry; hence medium and large businesses are favoured.
(Small) business finance has gone up from 4.11% to 7.13% in just 20 months on the latest RBA (to Dec 2023) monthly data (Table F7, Column B)
There’s also a trend of lower IQ, higher real tax burdens and so on.
Thanks John
sallys law would be “dont give me trivial stuff because i am very important and also a lesbian”
i think it will backfire
the very people who demand not to be contacted will be screaming about being excluded when some juicy stuff erupts on a friday evening and has to be dealt with on the weekend
maybe it could be called bayer rosmarins law

If there was say, a pipe burst after work one night, or an employee goes down with some highly contagious illness, or the power board out the front of the office burns out, then I would make a point of letting every single employee turn up to work the next morning so I could immediately send them home.

So, Lee J thinks that matter in the affidavits filed with respect to the Wilkinson v 10 costs dispute has a bearing on issues he has to resolve in the Lehrmann case. it looks like those issues are relevant to Wilkinson’s defence to Lehrmann’s action.
Does this mean that he will find Lehrmann was defamed – ie, did not rape hi

The 2009 Fair Work Act is currently 3 volumes totalling 800 pages.
Unsurprisingly it is an abomination with both small and large companies continuing to be caught out by it.
Believe it or not it covers such professional people as programmers and analysts even when their employment contacts have been individually negotiated.
Jesus was a Nazarene. An off shoot of regular Judaism back in that day. So I am led to believe.
I’m seeing something a little more every day. Those people demanding not to be contacted will be told “So you want to book off early to collect your kids from school? Like Hell!”
is it that binary
i mean justice lee might find that it is possible that lehrmann raped hoggins, but channel ten didnt have near enough evidence to go to air with it
further that ten clearly wanted him to be identified
or at least were indifferent or reckless on that score
also any attempt to offer a right of reply was disingenuously feeble

Barnaby misses his family quite frequently.
I have a feeling my sassari accommodation is in a less salubrious part of town.
Been advised to make sure all doors are tightly locked.
Unlike here and Bastia where both landlords were happy for me to leave apartments unlocked and keys on the table on my departure.
Oh well, I’m not much for ventring out in the evening anyhow.
Barnaby was being silly. Such a rare trait in human beings. Here at Catallaxy we never witness silliness, we are the epitome of politeness, rationality, and perspicacity.
Lizzie, Johanna’s post was not anti-semitic, it was anti-hysteria. Johanna doesn’t like the way you and Cassie respond to the Jew hatred that is currently manifesting. She thinks that rather than emoting all over the floor, what is needed is a cold, calm analysis of the situation and a carefully calibrated response.
I rhink so too, but I’m a bloke, so not prone to hysteria.
I’m used to seeing women scream and shout when things go wrong. It doesn’t help. It’s the way most of them are made, so I’m resigned to it. Just don’t waste your time or mine by demanding I join in. You’ve already condemned Calli for staying rational. A particularly stupid call.
Cassie if around. Australian Jewish Association just tweeted a part of a Superbowl ad.
Simple but very effective and a must watch.
Google Robert Kraft Superbowl add and will find plenty of info on it.
The Patriots owner is funding a 30-second commercial through his Foundation to Combat Antisemitism. The ad will feature Dr. Clarence B. Jones, a Civil Rights icon who helped to draft Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and be aimed at fighting the rise in anti-semitism.

Moral cowardice is still cowardly. Still Johanna is allowed to get away with Jew hate and noone admits this or even suggests an apology. A vicious person gets away with it here once again.
Cassie is due an apology from Johanna for those terrinly insulting comments. End of story.

Sorry, Rabz but there is nothing ‘alleged’ about Johanna’s behaviour. It is a plain fact.

That’s for sure. And the feminisation of the world exacerbates it.
When the ship starts sinking, a horde of screaming women and effeminate men just get in the way. But they need to express their feelings so we’re stuck with it.
New OT up.
Live large? Chuck you, Farlie. I worked 75-hour weeks to try to make sure my kids had all they needed. We bought our first house … 3×1 … at 17% interest. So why are we “living large”? Because our home has gone up in value?? BFD. If we sell, we still have to find somewhere else to live … at today’s prices. If we don’t sell, our kids get the benefit of the value rise, not us. Meantime everything keeps going up … and we don’t have any source of external income to alleviate that. What we have is all we’re going to get … and it’s getting very bloody slim.
yeah, hah … I just tell them that I don’t give a shit about the noise in their heads

I’m not letting the bastards off the hook for not voting to support an enquiry into excess deaths… I posted this today
Hey Tasmania, we go to an election on 23 March.
Let me remind you that on 8 February, 2024 the Australian Senate held a vote to investigate why there were so many excess deaths in Australia since 2021. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics last year there was over 15% excess deaths in Australia but the Senate voted to NOT hold an enquiry into why so many Australians continue to die suddenly with no pre existing condition or reason.
Only evil people would stop such an enquiry.
Those who stopped that enquiry were…
THE AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY.
THE AUSTRALIAN GREENS.
THE JACQUI LAMBIE NETWORK.
LIDIA THORPE.
Think long and hard before casting your vote on 23 March because those political parties which voted to not hold an enquiry have NO concern for your safety, your family, your friends, work colleagues or any person in our community. They do not care that so many Australian have and continue to suddenly die without explanation.
What type of person do you want making decisions about your safety and that of your family?
