BoN, sounds like bullshit to me. Qantas flights Australia to South Africa go way south, sometimes passengers get to see the sea ice.
Starship should not go much south of 32 south on their way to the ocean off NW Australia.
Yes, it’s a wonderful view. Just like Haneda-Helsinki. That one goes very close to the pole.
I had fun with the Beloved. Geography and geometry are not his strong suits, and he couldn’t quite work it out. Had to explain orthodromic distance and then he got it. It’s what happens to kids brought up on Mercator.
I think it is more illustrative of Qantas than it is of SpaceX. As much to get a hostile headline about Elon as anything.
Qantas is incoherent, unscientific and woke these days. Like Boeing this is not how to successfully run an aerospace company or an airline.
deregulating barn raising fixes this
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim was mentioned yesterday as the source of a ridiculous peace proposal between hamas scum and Israel. Here is one of the bastard’s papers which shows no surprise about his anti-Israel stance:
(68) ‘Therefore They Shouldn’t Exist’: The Carter Administration, the ‘Israel Lobby’ and the Sinai Settlements
In 2021 Penny Wong stated that Trump was “prepared to trash alliances and partnerships for personal political interest”.
I wonder how that UN job application is coming along?
Pot, Kettle.
What a slag.
Sucking up to the pro-Pali crowd and selling out Israel to keep the Muesli vote isn’t “personal political interest”?
Hypocrite doesn’t begin to describe Benny Pong.
So, Ted O’Brien has toddled off to Korea on a nuclear ‘fact-finding’ mission: “the most comprehensive international study ever undertaken by an opposition to inform Australia’s future energy policy”.
Good job; as with any biggish purchase, you should always have a first hand look at what you’re planning to buy.
However, the huuuge problem that screams out here is timing. Here we are, in the pre-election ‘phoney war’ stage, with the Coalition strapped to a roughly sketched ‘we’re gunna build some, just watch’ nuclear policy – and the responsible policy person is just now setting off on a “comprehensive international study”.
I’ve visited a couple of nuclear power stations and I’m here to tell you that O’Brien will be blown away by the shiny complexity and (BA, MEcon) glaze over at the operational physics. [And this is not a FIGJAM moment for me. I understand conventional power generation pretty well, but I was humbled by the breadth and depth of the science carried around by the operating teams.]
His key take aways will be:
This should have been baked into Coalition policy two years ago.
No wonder that the deformed midget Bowen is gloating.
Nobody ever mentions Howard’s nuclear ban.
It’s all political theatre without a mandate to reverse that.
Taking into account materiel/energy/emissions input for power generation builds (not to mention cost & footprint); only the clinically insane and/or engineering ignorant would choose anything other than HELE coal (with gas as back up). Nuclear is fine and desirable, and 100x in agreement with the implications of Roger’s comment, but in terms of the national interest and the economic well being of our citizenry – HELE coal is it.

How California eco-bureaucrats halted a Pacific Palisades fire safety project to save an endangered shrub (14 Jan)
And I strongly suspect all those poor milkvetch shrubs have now gone to the great shrubbery in the sky as a result of those environmental looneys.
it’s just a soil sterilization process. Removing all organic material.
BON, the afforementioned plant will, according to the saveplants organisation, thrive after soil disturbance including chaparral fire.
Reading the above, one could safely presume that the machinery movements in the powerline corridor would in fact have benefited the plant.
If it wasn’t that it would be something else that they were not really interested in but simply using as an excuse to stop any development and more especially, lock away access to as much countryside as possible.
Same with energy projects. Am I the only one to have noticed that they happily support everything until it shows signs of working, at which point they suddenly become environmental disasters?
I find myself in agreement with Hallward here.
I suspect the route is becoming uneconomic what with Seth Effrica being a shithole and all, or they have had other internal cock-ups causing delays.
Rather than simply say that, some PR douche has come up with the idea of blaming it all on Musk.
Not very smart.
If you read Joe Aston’s book on Qantas you’d try a lot of other options before booking a seat with these charlatans.

Most of it I had read in the AFR, but I had forgotten some of it.
I don’t know who would bother with them. Certainly on international routes they are far too expensive.
I don’t know who bothers to fly with them anymore.
Boomers who still believe it is the safest airline evah?
Corporates and Pubic Serpents who like to accumulate FF points domestically for work then use them to fly internationally privately?
I heard a travel j’ism on 3AW a while back saying “how fantastic it was to board the return flight and hear an Aussie accent”.
Yeah, nah.
If I want to get snarled at by a surly prick, I can wait until Customs at Tulla.
And I certainly wouldn’t be paying $3-$5k overs for the privilege.
It’s amazing how the same people who claim they favour QANTAS for being Australian hate every single other Australian thing that actually forms part of the culture.
Well, I did try to gently warn that he may not be a good sauce.
The whole story didn’t make sense.
A week before the inauguration of a President who tells Hamarse that the hostages better be released by 20th or “all hell will break loose”, Israel basically capitulates with zero conditions placed on Hamarse.
Sure.
I think we are going to see a ceasefire and release of hostages with a scorched earth DMZ between Israel and Gaza.
Build the wall!

The design had a serious flaw in that it lacked any kind of struts or braces for the wings, with Christmas insisting that they should be flexible. Control of the aircraft was meant to be achieved by wing warping to its flying surfaces.[5] Although the Chief Engineer at Continental, Vincent Burnelli, tried to institute changes, the “Christmas Bullet” was completed with the original design features intact. Construction materials were scrounged from available wood and steel stock and were not “aircraft grade”, which was also a concern to Burnelli.

I’m reminded of how, only minutes before Reagan was inaugurated in January 1981, Iran freed the American hostages after 14 months. This was after Reagan had said, in plain English, that the US does not negotiate with terrorists.
On October 7 2023 Nazi scum took Jewish men, women and children hostage and has kept them in Gaza for over 15 months, raping, torturing and starving them.
How many remain alive?
Yeah righto. ‘All options’, eh?
I can hardly imagine Luigi intoning to the nation:
‘It is my melancholy duty to inform you officially that, in consequence of the persistence of Russia in her killing of a scrawny vegan that hasn’t lived in Australia for the past ten years, and that, as a result, Australia is at war.’
More pompous blowhardery that’s not fooling anyone.
Probably pissed off the Russians by blathering on about veganism.
Maybe Albo will “shirtfront” them. Like Abbot did with Putin?
LOL
It’s amusing that more time was spent talking about Shaiel Ben-Ephraim then about the deal that was being discussed all over Twitter, Israeli media, and elsewhere.

The house is due to be launched at about 5 pm this afternoon Ncl time. I suspect it will be the first ever house in space. There’s live coverage from 4:10 pm.
(And if you think launching a model house into orbit is silly, keep in mind the last gigantic Spaceship launch was of one (1) banana.)
Did they get a photo of it exploding in a vacuum?
I think it might’ve been a fake banana. I was watching: they had cameras on it throughout and it didn’t explode, just sort of drifted about. They had light lines to it to keep it from going too far and getting into things.
for the Gaza border, rather then a wall, would it be cheaper to have a heap of mines and razor ribbon stretching across a mile or two.

Israel deploys remote-controlled robotic guns in West Bank (2022)

They had that in Gaza.
No they didn’t. But yes the Hamas guys did get together a full brigade and a whole bunch of bulldozers and knocked down the wall, so perhaps something more than just automatic machine guns would be indicated. Multiple automatic rocket launchers maybe, with thermobaric warheads, just so the Gazans get the message to stay on their side.
Yes, they did. They had remote weapons on their guard towers on the Gaza wall.
Um, you did look at what the remote weapons were in the linked story?
And what I said the remote weapons should be…?
Always check the detail. Before 7/10 the IDF was careful not to pot goatherders in Palistan oops the West Bank. Which is where the automatics were installed. I doubt they will care much about such sentiments henceforth.
Nope.
A drone swarm will defeat them. Each one with a can of paint, to spray the cameras when it is shot down.

Still many, many moving parts.
One of the more interesting concepts being floated by Blinken (presumably on behalf of the Corpse in Chief) is that UN international forces may be required in Gaza to guarantee peace and security – particularly during rebuilding and the orderly transition to, well, something else.
Hundreds of fresh new hostages – and super powerful human shields.
UN forces who, as in Lebanon, will turn a blind eye to breaches of the agreement by Israel’s enemies.
More to the point, a poison pill for Trump who may not have wanted to send troops.

Sure, and even the proposal indicates that there will be issues relevant to phases 2 and 3 that will need to be determined during phase 1. However, I was being roasted yesterday and today for mentioning a deal using a persona non grata.

Tony Heller:

Collapse Of The Antarctic Sea Ice Scam
NO. NO. Not Elbow with a lettuce leaf at 10 paces!
Say it isn’t so.
No way to dress this up.
The first stage of the Hamas-Israel deal does sound almost doable.
Hamas is supposed to release 30 hostages over a period of a 42 days ceasefire. Israel releases captive Palis, who seem mainly to be women and children, although with a fair number of lifers (who will be immediate targets once hostilities resume…ie death sentence instead of having to feed them in jail for the rest of their miserable lives.) Marwan Barghouti won’t be one of those to be released, that was a deal killer on the Israeli side.
The first stage also maintains Israeli control of the Philadelphi Corridor. Israel will never give up control of it for obvious strategic reasons.
So we’ll see. The IDF could do with a rest for a month and a half. But from what I see of the second stage of the deal it is a non starter. But since that is supposed to be negotiated only after the 1st stage is active it doesn’t really matter if those negotiations are successful or not.
No, it wasn’t because he was merely talking about a deal that was already being discussed all over the net. You would have known this if rather than putting ‘Shaiel Ben-Ephraim’ in Google search you put ‘Gaza ceasefire deal’.
The problem is if someone as rabid as SBE puts something on his twitter feed he is doing so for a reason.
That is why I like to check out these people, to know where they are coming from. Their motivations are more important than what they say, and often what they say is distorted or worse. Like what he claimed about Philadelphi, which was mendacious rubbish.
(Edit: Ok maybe that was from the other one you quoted, who I also looked up and who was just as rabid. I can’t remember which of them claimed that the Israelis would give up Philadelphi, and I can’t be bothered going back to the original comments. I immediately called bullshit. And in the news today I am vindicated. The important thing is to save us all a lot of time please choose sources who aren’t obvious lefty nutters.)
I couldn’t be bothered spending 5 mins finding someone else talking about the ceasefire deal with some detail that would satisfy your delicate sensibilities. Next time I may add a trigger warning though.
You must be dizzy, surely?

“All over the net”?
Is that a reliable sauce?
The fact that it was “picked up” by a couple of regular media outlets tells you nothing.
Did they report it as fact?
Tom will tell you this is one of the oldest tricks in the j’ism playbook.
Report that X says Y about Z, hoping for any outcome at all … confirmation, denial, or partial confirmation.
It’s a hook, no more, no less.
Interesting debate occurring on Twitter among the online right about the ‘benefits’ of working at Panda Express. Reminiscent of the H1B visa controversy.
That’s naughty! Joe of course was bankrolled by the Chinese to the extent of many millions.
Indeed.
Seems the Qantas delays to South Africa may be because of the entry corridors for F9 second stages after Starlink launches. Discussion at NASA spaceflight.com
Maybe Qantas should take it up with the FAA.
If there’s a FAA after 20 Jan.
Given their record I hope Vivek and Elon will fire at least 90% of them.
It doesn’t negate the possibility that Quaintarse would be using it as an excuse whether there was a launch using that corridor or nor.
Sounds like you’re umming and ahhing now, Sancho. Reports were emerging of a deal, of an abrupt meeting between Netanyahu and Trump’s ME envoy on Sat that was reported yesterday, right-wing commentators were addressing it on news programs, and so on. All of this suggested things were moving but as yet not finalized. None of this was ‘a hook’.
I’m sensing a pattern here.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting…
A man has died after being pulled from the water at a beach on the state’s Central Coast.
Emergency services were called following reports that a 73-year-old man was pulled from the surf unconscious at Cabbage Tree Bay Beach, Norah
His death marks the 55th drowning in Australia during the 2024-25 summer period since December 1, according to the Royal Life Saving Summer Drowning Toll.
55 dead from drowning. All tragic deaths. All entirely avoidable deaths.
I ask, who swims in the ocean at night time? Those of us who grew up in the Oz of old were always taught never to swim in the ocean at night. I have only ever swum once in the ocean at night time, in 1985, on Rottnest Island, a group of us were drunk and we all stripped off naked and went for a swim. I remember how we laughed and laughed and laughed. I also remember it was f*cking freezing.
A lot of them are new Australians from what I’ve seen, often from the subcontinent. The parents will understandably try to rescue a kid who is in trouble and they drown too. It’s sad.
The swimming lessons we all had in schools were an unsung marvel. We were taught awesome stuff (I got as far as doing some of the surf Bronze Medallion but we moved to an inland town before I could complete it.)
It would be a very good thing if our governments developed, promoted and rolled out a free swimming course for new Australians. Many lives would be saved.
I swim in Merewether Baths every morning at dawn,Bruce, but when we were young we used to skinny dip with a skin full after a big night out at the Beach Hotel.
We all learned to swim there on Saturday mornings; the ladies of the Merewether Ladies Swimming Club conducted free classes.
Nobody would ever go into the surf at night, however one of our friends committed suicide off the back of the baths that way some years ago.
No chance of free classes in these days of regulation and litigation, but.
release 30 hostages over a period of a 42 days
Are they alive or corpses?
Seemingly alive. I was wrong about 30 the number is apparently 33.
Hamas Accepts Deal to Release Hostages; Israel Now Must Approve (Newsmax, 14 Jan)

That “deal” was almost total fabrication.
Anyone who thinks that they can basically re-set Gaza to 6th October 2023 is dreaming.

But in today’s circumstances?
Zero chance.
The little turd continues to display his absolute lack of understanding of the Australian people.

Yes, it is important that the families can have a decent funeral.
But that is not as important as the return of live hostages.
In fact, by making no distinction, you would be signing the death warrant of those still alive.
Netanyahu isn’t that stupid.
That is why this touted “deal” was so laughably lacking in any credibility.
Surely Trump won’t endorse this outrage!
Even Newsmax is now reporting it.
Except none of those reports talk about the total Israeli capitulation postulated by the ex-UCLA Nazi.
Israel is, rightly so, desperate to get those hostages back. The reported deal requires, as it has in deals in the past, large numbers of Palestinian insurgents released from imprisonment. But I doubt if there will be any concessions in relation to future security for Israelis.

Being pedantically corrective its “a clip under the ear”:)
That is the real impact of a clip over the ear.
Youse will both get a clip in the aural region if youse keep this up.
No, no, no. All the hostages not just some

what the hell – multitude of swear words $&4*@++++
Yes, there are over one hundred hostages still being held. Dead and alive. NO ceasefire or deals until every last one of them is returned.
“All of them or we slaughter every last bastard terrorist we’ve captured and bury them in a swimming pool of pigs blood, then start dropping single shot ‘Liberator Pistols‘ at night over civilian areas”.
Pete Hegseth: “I support Israel destroying every last member of Hamas.”
Can I marry this man?
I feel your womanly pain, Cassie.
Progressive Western women cry out for feminist “freedom”, but are revolted by men whose old-fashioned instinct is to protect their womenfolk.
So the feminists gravitate to and protect the muslim barbarians who want to dominate, subjugate and violate women.
Weird old world.
Hate to say it Tom. I think you’re analysis is a little skewed. I’m an xx and I’d feel the same way about about Thatcher. (Mind you Hegseth is rather spunky). Just need strong competent, rational leadership. Not back sliders. Nothing to do with gender.
You need to be careful, Cassie. That was an answer dripping with ambiguity. Choose well. 🙂

Pensioner, 84, fends off launderette mugger with a pair of jeansRon Croker says the masked man who attacked him in Maltby, near Rotherham, ‘picked on the wrong bloke’
The UK’s anti-corruption minister, Tulip Siddiq, has resigned after being charged with corruption offences by Bangladesh authorities.
Just last week she had Keir Starmer’s full support.
You just get the feeling that the wheel-nuts on the Keir bandwagon are starting to rattle a bit.
Can’t be long before the band abandons the wagon.
Still, he retains Albo’s full support, which must be comforting at times like this.
Talk about foxes in charge of the hen-house !
Innocent until proven guilty and all that.
But politics has a lot to do with perceptions.
And she hasn’t been looking good for much more than a week.
Starmers ‘full support’ is less than Anals urine stained Y fronts.
I’m expecting his pledge of full support for Chancellor Rachel Reeves before the end of the week.
Her latest brainstorm to increase government revenue is a motel room tax on tourists, the equivalent of sticking your hand down the back of the sofa desperately seeking small change.
Someone mentioned that payouts from the “insurer of last resort” in California are capped at $3 meg.
I saw an overhead shot of Pacific Palisades showing maybe 70-80 lots.
A lot of them had values tagged in the graphic (presumably last sale price). Most were over $5 meg, and I can’t recall one under $4 meg.
That’s some big haircuts coming up.
They still have the land, so that will reduce the rebuild a little. Though why anyone would want to live in that hell-hole is a worry.
He did put it rather strongly but when you compare the substance rather than the style with what is reported elsewhere they reports cohere. The only question, if the deal goes through, is whether we ever get to phases 2 or 3.
Channel surfing and there’s a Game of Thrones marathon on.
I struggle to think of a hotter TV character than Cersei Lannister.
Maybe 7 of 9.
Daylight third.
Marjorie Tyrell for mine, for hotness.
I doubt if I could put up with the rest of the package for long though.
Amy Coney Barrett is a kunt:
ACB is establishment first.
Which is why she will be the chief justice post Roberts (another establishment first justice).
“Sliante” to all you disgusting mob!
Mme Zulu’s (long awaited) test results are back – all clear!
No more tests for six months, if they are clear, no more for another year!
We are opening the Tattinger – Cats will do me the courtesy of ignoring any further transmissions from this call sign!
