What happened to you is disgraceful. I recently enquired about doing some volunteering. They demand I get a booster. I had the 2 shots to maintain access to some facilities, when I contracted COVID I was sick for one day. Doesn’t matter, must have the shot. Nuts, lost a volunteer.
In the USA it has become ridiculous. They built 186 F22’s at 300 million plus per unit and the kill number is one balloon. The hypersonic missile they are\was trialling cost in excess of 100 million dollars each. The F35 has a readiness rate of 55%, mostly because of ongoing upgrades, currently Block 4. They already have prototype NGADs flying making both yesterday’s technology. The Gerald Ford carrier cost 13 billion and that’s just for the basic kit not all the required hardware and crew. They have so much munitions stored it justifies dropping 1 million plus cost bombs on towel heads in hiluxes and huts. They flew a BI Lancer 15 hours to the ME for a bombing sortie. A B1 Lancer costs ~60,000 per flight hour.

No, that’s just you being a dishonest low quality commenter. I never said any thing of the sort, you lying little prick.
I said, I have zero issue with ticks whether their upwards of down. I’ve always maintained that low quality commenters such as yourself are cheating. That is, creating multiple ticks either to yourself, perceived allies, or down against the person you dislike regardless of a comment.
Rooster is not even a good liar.
Even the blog owner mentioned he strongly suspected there was cheating going on. Interestingly, the rooster chooses to ignore cheating and pretends I’m against regular honest ticks. I wonder why?
Low quality commenter and a fundamentally lousy liar. That’s the Rooster for you.

Based on Lee’s previous behaviour he lets this shit go on for a bit, then he jumps in, asks questions directly of the witness & then it’s done.

For all round utility, nothing beats a bullet for short range fighting.
Lasers – especially at night, point directly back at the firer – even during the day, and they dissipate over long range. They are energy intensive. A bullet can sit for a year and still be usable.
What we’re seeing now with battery based electrical weaponry is that the battery capable of storing enough energy for sustained fire is a potential bomb among our own troops.
It’s one of the reasons we don’t mix reactive armour on our tanks with supporting infantry.
I wish she had written about Kurtley Beale. One can only hope that, going forward, it is impossible to find 12 people in any jurisdiction willing to believe any woman in a he said she said case. In the meantime, we need to start throwing prosecutors in jail for taking on evidence free cases.
Lisa : we really screwed up but you should see the morons we can dump this on at Channel 10.

Seriously JC you need to get over yourself. The two people who seem most concerned about ticking are you and Sancho. You have both clearly looked into the mechanics of how “gaming” them can be done.
Now you are basically lying to say I have engaged in multiple upticking. Of course such an allegation fits in with your mantra that most downticks relevant to you can’t possibly be genuine. You simply don’t comprehend how many on this blog think you are a total ahole. Check your “stoush list” as it is very long.
However don’t flatter yourself that I would bother to work out how it is done. When Sancho went into it my reaction was what moron would take it to that length or even try to work out how it is done.
As I have indicated I would rather downtick you than engage daily when you are being your usual dickhead self. I suspect many others feel the same.
When you refer to me as a low quality commentator I guess that makes you high quality. Just laughable. You are a blog legend in your own mind. Seek therapy and get some meds as the condition is not improving.

FMD. Rooster Must I get over myself? Since the site owner’s announcement last week, you have been harassing the site with multiple versions of this gibberish and garbage. I’ve just made an effort to address your crappy, foolish, and deceptive remarks, but I’m the one who has to grow up? You are an absolute fruitcake.
I’m not lying when I claim that you have been cheating; your dishonest harassment of the site is a clear indication of your true intentions. Let’s assume, however, that you haven’t (which I doubt). Assuming you haven’t cheated, you appear more than willing to provide other low-wattage nobodies the option to do so if it allows you a safe space.
Really, figure out how to cite and link, before you dribble on. Send 350 emails a day to the site owner, expressing your anger and frustration. You are incredibly boring, unpleasant, and draining. You drain the site of any energy. An energy sink in human form.

ABC, BBC, CBC, MSNBC, CNN et al ad nauseum, aren’t they all part of the “Trusted News Initiative”?
As someone who is an obsessive researcher and critical of source material, I say thank God for the internet. Yes – there is any amount of rubbish, but there is also access to contrary opinion from all sources. As long as you understand the process of critical thinking, it is a cornucopia of information. And this is why the “Trusted News Initiative” operatives hate it with a passion.

NATO extended to Finland and probably Sweden.
Germany on a huge military spend.

Russia still not producing the Armata and SU 57s in quantities to make a difference.
Russia has lost a very expensive command aircraft and AWACs aircraft.
Russia’s Black Sea fleet has fled into safe harbor.
Russia’s military has become a laughing stock.
Russia won’t even commit the SU 57 to obtain air superiority. That really sucks. What’s the point of your best fighter being incapable of entering enemy air space?

Mr Dick (?) SC for 10, didn’t really lay a glove on the Mosman legend.
The reasons 10 didn’t want to publicise their in-house “advice” to a mere employee are now fully clear.
But the best bit was yet to come.
After a brutal afternoon’s cross-examination by Mr Elliott SC, acting for Bunyons, as well as some precise skewering of her carotids by Lee, Tisha Smithie, the Ch 10 lawyer who allegedly advised Bunyons into the deep excrement pool will be immensely lucky to just retain her practicing licence.
In fact, she’ll will be lucky to avoid having to repay Ch 10’s wages for the last couple of years.

The blood is probably flowing down Phillip St as we speak.
One might feel sorry for her. But then.. she’s a lawyer.
All is well, after all.
I’d hate to see how it would go for Russia if they made a “bad” decision.
Putin is a regular order tyrant with 200B in his back pocket and the blood of vestal virgins to perk up his mojo. He will keep going until Russia is completely destroyed. Possibly thats a russian version of what great nationalistic leaders look like, myself I’d prefer someone like Howard who looked and acted like a suburban accountant.
He says he is not lying and then we have assume you have not cheated.
Which is it ?
He works on the basis the more you repeat a lie the truer it makes it.

“I’m not lying when I claim that you have been cheating; your dishonest harassment of the site is a clear indication of your true intentions. Let’s assume, however, that you haven’t (which I doubt). Assuming you haven’t cheated”.

And even more, if the electricity comes from the private sector, which as Numbers used to point out the cost of which contained profit being stolen from consumers, people are coming out ahead because part of the money they are not being charged is for electricity they don’t get, but they are also not being robbed by running-dog capitalist swine!

Power “outrages” being posted here have nothing to do with renewballs. Major transmission lines are down. Just saw on TV news that some big transmission towers have been knocked over by high winds. Just wow.
That might not fly politically for long you suspect. Particularly at the former Pony Club. “Queensland electrons are for Queenslanders”, we’ve been here before.
I laughed uproariously watching Biden during the Super Bowl half-time break complaining and shaming snack makers about smaller packages. I expect all of those manufacturers donated to his 2020 campaign and probably this year’s as well and this is how he repays them.

But just imagine the same situation with the many more transmission lines required to link renewables to the grid. AEMO is proposing 10 000 km of new lines, minimum.
Inner city cables are mostly underground, you nincompoop and if they have to cut power because of demand, it’s always at the extremities. So keep hoping. Stick to tossing a coin if it’s me or liz abuse for the day, and stop making comments about stuff you know nothing about.
Lastly, what are you going to do with the severed heads in the freezer if your power goes off? Ice from the service station?

I’ve been through much worse storms living in these parts as a child and apart for the flickering or short cuts never can’t remember an outage like this.
Pure guess but I’d say there is more than we are being told to this…
That’s tomorrow’s. There’s one each day.
Maybe this will make some voters in Dunkley bypass Labor and vote for the Lib candidate. If I were the Dunkley Lib candidate I would make this an issue even if it is a national electorate, link Bowen to the Victorian debacle and push how this is the likely future for the whole of Australia.

Teh Paywallian reporting it as an outage at Loy Yang A. So what is it?
If only the Liberals didn’t back Net Zero.
(Yes, I know they want nuclear on the table, but that is so politically risky they have no option but to stick with ruinables as Plan B.)
I musta missed that one.
S’pose it’s an example of the “high value” comments we’re apparently blessed with?
The main issue with power generation in Oz is that all ‘reliable’ power generators are getting older and past their use by dates. These generators will require more maintenance and more downtime in the future so they can generate ‘back up’ power when required. Callide type incidents will occur more frequently based on probability.
So hows “no gas for new builds” looking now?
Dead, buried and cremated?
Or dont the have enough juice in the grid to manage any of them?
If Barry is reporting the Mornington Peninsula is down, unless it’s transmission cables, it usually means a blackout due to high demand in the denser parts of the city,
I sacked two people today. I’m the boss, you hear!!!!
The idea is to find news sources, either blogs or actual journalists, whom you trust and ignore the MSM who can go jump. I find this blog, C.L.’s and Michael smith much more reliable than anything out there. Even Sky News is a bit behind the times where they cover an issue days after it has been raised and discussed here. I sometimes think quite a few Sky producers scan this blog.
For the US news there is nobody like JJ’s morning report on Ace of Spades, he has replaced the once-popular The Drudge Report which has sadly declined into irrelevance.
Just so people aren’t confused, the sacked two people comment a paraphrase of one of Driller’s many high level, humble comments from a few days ago. High quality and very interactive too.
To Catch a Right Winger
Hopefully for something totally legit.
Like, say, a vague suspicion they had dobbed you in to “OH&S”.
Sal it seems to be consumed with the sex lives of posters, so it’s feasible to assume it has been banished to the spare room!
Sigh!!
Pleased to say that the Teal electorate of Goldstein is untouched by outages.
Just back home after 9 hours on the road.
What’s going on with the Lerhmann thing.
Caught a few snippets during breaks along the road and I get the impression there is a level of tension between Cane Toad, Ten and the assembled legal beagles?
Yeah, it was another dobbing.
Also, had it out with Mud Island Council about a work being done that was close to one of the motel *exits. I was on the phone and gave them such a serve. Later, the town mayor and then the deputy PM called me to apologize. The Deputy PM said the White House will also be in touch, offering an apology.
* can’t call it an entrance when patrons are rushing out in droves.

What happened to you is disgraceful. I recently enquired about doing some volunteering. They demand I get a booster. I had the 2 shots to maintain access to some facilities, when I contracted COVID I was sick for one day. Doesn’t matter, must have the shot. Nuts, lost a volunteer.
Having moved to Vic, I waited until I won my Canberra Court case and the CFA dropped their vax mandate, and joined. They RPL’d *nothing* of my 25 years with the CFS, so I did the noobs course a few weeks back. Today I spent the afternoon at the station with my own fire trailer after every fire tanker in the district was at the Pomonal or Dadswells Bridge fires (hoping against hope the hideous koala perished). Tonight, am starting night shift at midnight at Pomonal. No doubt my fellow citizens will ‘thankyou for your service’.. same as the last time>
Do you have a problem with this?
Would this possibly be because: (i)Feminisation (ii)Wokeyness Or (iii) the most reprehensible treatement of VC winner Ben Roberts-Smith?
Almost entirely down to Marise Payne…
The most destructive event in Australian military history.
Backed up by Turnbull and Pyne…
Even the QLD Electrical Trades Union has warned of this.
But pollies know better.
Thank you for your service to the nation and to the CFA, Dr Duk, in spite of the gutless scum in charge of both.
And a request for 10%.
Looks like an early election in Tasmania, March 23rd being suggested as the likely date.
Rock doctor. Agl doesn’t own loy yang B. It owns LYA. It is nor.al to flex down because…..renewables.

So what do they do about the blokes, fellow troopers, who had the guts to come forward and give evidence?
The ones who had lived with the soul destroying truths of what they had witnessed and/or been forced to do. Who anguished about it and sought advice and guidance from former OC”s and suchlike, or who were dragged reluctantly to court to tell the truth.
They are to be discarded, thrown under a bus , along with principle and integrity because “BRS and his little band were the only hard charging sons of bitches there ever was”?
In another age BRS would not have been selected.
Tisha Smithie, the Ch 10 lawyer
Aah, so the surname’s not Kerrigan.
Great to hear Duk! I mean that. But I hope your unvaxxed cooties don’t infect your colleagues, that would be terribly unfortunate.
Bushie – From what I’ve seen there’s a lot of personal animus going on under the surface of these cases.
I have no time for it. To safeguard a nation you need people who will serve. Dragons’ teeth. If you persecute the people who do serve, for allegedly offing Talibs, who are indistinguishable from Hamas baby beheaders, then the ADF deserves not to have anyone sign up. And you and I should learn Mandarin.
That is my view. Take it to the bank.
From a distance, it seems to me the Stupid Frigging Tassie Liberals, like their mainland counterparts, believe in nothing. The joint is full of communist Greens voters and there’s no place for the free market.
Tassie will always be a mendicant state that needs bailing out.
They built 186 F22’s at 300 million plus per unit and the kill number is one balloon. The hypersonic missile they are\was trialling cost in excess of 100 million dollars each. The F35 has a readiness rate of 55%, mostly because of ongoing upgrades, currently Block 4. They already have prototype NGADs flying making both yesterday’s technology. The Gerald Ford carrier cost 13 billion and that’s just for the basic kit not all the required hardware and crew. They have so much munitions stored it justifies dropping 1 million plus cost bombs on towel heads in hiluxes and huts. They flew a BI Lancer 15 hours to the ME for a bombing sortie. A B1 Lancer costs ~60,000 per flight hour.
Money is a small part of the equation when the GDP is $23.3t… $1.0t buys 80 Ford Class carriers and that will be in service for over 50 years (Nimitz was commissioned in 1975 and will be decommissioned in 2016) The Gerald ford will cost a mere $260m per year in manufacturing costs ( bloody cheap to project more power that any ship in history and more than most countries navies)
The protection supplied by those aircraft cannot be measured in dollars. The reason the F22 hasn’t been required to shoot down other nations aircraft is because it costs $300m and has more capability than any combination of adversaries aircraft by factors. Other nations are not keen to test theirs against it.
To be realistic, how well do you think Putins forces would fare in Ukraine if the skies were protected by the full force of the USAF, USN and USMC? (F15E, F16, F18, F18 Super Hornet, F18 Growler, A10, F35, F22, F17, B1b, B52) I think a fair answer would be measured in maybe weeks.
+eleventy hundred!
That should be 2026 for the Nimitz…
1 BTC = 73k USD
Now there’s some eating of crow (the proof of work) to naysayers.
What is the semantic range of ‘denser’ in this context?

Absolutely not !! With this deluge of Euro Honeys you can hire and fire as you please.
Dafuq is a “Yojee”? (YOJ:AX)
Up 1566.67% on the ASX today.
???
How so?
Windies scaring the Alintas a little bit, scoring 6/220 in the last T20 including a 139 run partnership, unheard of in this format.
Straya will have to go at over 10 an over, chasing this time. There may be a few twitchy sphincters shortly.
Albrechtsen turns her attention to SloMo’s legacy in Teh Paywallian. As might be expected, it isn’t pretty.
Credit where it is due.
You’re more accurate & far more sensible than Comedians Wil Anderson & Charlie Pickering are being upthread.
You raise a very pertinent & key point:
Supply & demand. Employers don’t have freedom to sack underperforming staff unless they’re able to replace them.
