Last I checked, better than 80% of the rail motive power in this country does not require AdBlue. And that includes the museum pieces and chuff-chuffs that the tourists like to photograph…
Pee. In Roman times the launderers invited passing punters to pee in their vats, since the urea was good for bleaching clothes. I’m drawing on Lindsay Davis from her Falco historical detective novels, but I suspect it’s true since she has relevant quals from Oxford and is very good at weaving in gritty history into her novels. Also I’ll add this:
The Bizarre Way Urine Was Used By The Ancient Romans (Nov 2020)
Not a bad wrap up of the insanity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW6M3YrvGjc
Wasn’t pee also used in tanning leather? Certainly smelt like it whenever we drove past the Flemington tanneries back in the day.
Traditionally.
Until more concentrated, industrial processes of generating urea came about.
Jennifer Westacott & Innes Willox falling over themselves to praise Labor’s emissions target.
Clearly big business are expecting to do very well out of it.
I listened to part of Mr Albenese’s press conference today. In many ways it was an overt appeal for facism. Quite strange. But what isn’t at the moment.
If that does come to fruition it will be a reversal of 800 years of English history
I think it has come to fruition Roger, how many laws, principles and declarations have been bulldozed during this pretend crisis?
Nuremberg might work as a focus for freedom rallies. Sounds as if the idea has some in the synarchies rattled. The word alone, no need for rope.
Just replied to an email from Liberal candidate for Cowan, Vince Connolly. His email banged on about Labor lies and Medicare cuts and GST cuts!
My reply
Hi Vince,
I have stood for public office twice (unsuccessfully) namely the 2016 and 2019 federal elections as a senate candidate for WA.
This email from you and what it’s about, demonstrates clearly to me why I can’t vote for your party anymore.
The failure to make sure that mandatory vaccines and vaccines passports would not happen are a failure. The excuse that there was nothing you could do is BS.
My prediction is that the next federal election will result in a massive vote shift away from both Labor and Liberal.
My wish is that the minor parties on the right have the balance of power.
Finally, give yourself an uppercut.
I’m still a fan of deflecting asteroids by exploding a largish nuke nearby. Fireball transfers heat by radiation to surface which vaporises and acts as a rocket motor. This is possibly a way to move the “gravel pile” type asteroids also.
The really dangerous asteroids will be the ones in highly elliptical orbits which we fail to see until they are coming at us almost out of the sun. Tricky navigation, guidance and timing problem to do anything about them.
Yes, fullers used urine. So did the tanners who produced vellum from sheepskins.
Stinky business. Definitely an “outside the city walls” occupation.
Remember the hum of O’Riordan Street Mascot? Before it all became gentrified.

Here in NSW, if the choice for backroom manipulator is between Big Cloive and Photios, Cloive gets the guernsey.
custard, despite your reply I’m sure they’re spending stupid amounts of money on all sorts of expert to tell them where they’re going wrong. Can’t listen to what people are telling them, which is pretty much the problem to start with.

As much as I hate to say I am leaning in the same direction for this reason. Yuk!
Are the freedom fighters from the NT going to rescue us or is all up to Popular Front for the Liberation of Viktoristan?
Maybe the political and bugman classes take Winston Churchill’s comment about “The best argument against demlcracy is a ten-minute conversation with the average voter” to heart as a serious analysis ofnthe political process, and not the tongue-in-cheek quip it was intended to be?
What about the People’s Front?
Or the Popular Peoples’ Front?
#Splitters!
They have been incasterated, Rex
So where do they store three months worth of date rolls for 120 men/women/confused?
Submarines on a war patrol often store a “false floor” in many passageways; ie: tins of food all of the same height, with some sort of flooring over the top. Has to be worked out carefully, as you don’t want stuff which can break up and get into the pumps if you are trying to save the boat in a damage control situation.
Over time all of the stores get consumed, so you can get rid of the false floor. In the same way there is more room provided by firing off torpedoes, with the reloads getting used up.
A rather odd design feature in WWII and before had stores, including torpedoes, stored outside the pressure hull. The submarine was basically the watertight pressure hull, with a deck above it – the outer casing – with a framework of struts and so on to hold it up. There were hatches and the like to open up compartments. They were “free-flooding” which meant they were open to the sea overall, although some could be wateright; eg: if you had an aircraft hangar, as some WWII boats had.
So the outer deck was a series of slats which meant the seawater drained through it, and all sorts of materials stored between the outer and inner hulls. I was doing some work on the I-124 design (the Japanese 80-man sub sunk outside Darwin Harbour) the other day, and you can see the bulges in the outer casing where two torpedo reloads were stored forward of the deck gun.
That all started disappearing when sonar became more and more effective. The more weird bits you have protruding off the streamlined “albacore” hull the more noisier the boat is on sonar. Just like cars, submarines became more and more streamlined, but in their case not just for speed and fuel efficiency but to become electronically quieter as well.
That sounds wheely awful.
They must have been very easily pushed around…
Now she can return to her first one; Rock ‘n’ Roll impresario for some womens collective core outfit.

The coal itself is still useful, too. Though slow-burning, highly friable (making it a bugger to store) and prone to sparking.
The WAGR used to admix it with imported Newcastle coal in the summer months to cut down on spark-throwing and the attendant bushfire risk.
Great rifle, unavailable in Australia, naturally:

Fiona Patten who voted for the hunchback’s atrocious pandemic bill has had her revised prostitution act passed. Highlights of this new act include:
Removes the requirement of safe sex practices between prostitutes and clients (eg. stealthing will no longer be illegal) – Clause 8
Abolishes mandatory testing for sexually transmitted infections and allows sex workers to work with a sexually transmitted infection in order to “remove discriminatory, industry-specific public health offences” – Clause 9-10
Legalises street-based sex work in most public places – Clause 28
Prohibits property owners from refusing to rent their properties for legal sex work, in order to prevent discrimination against sex workers – Clause 36.

As predicted: Third test NEGATIVE.
Giving up on getting tested, no way I’m going to test positive by accident or any other means. Useless pissweak bloody pox.
Well that fucks the route to a 6 month stay on vaccination.
Gosh…I’m so old I remember when they were called whores.
Now they’re workers in an industry.
I suppose it counts towards GDP as well.
It’s call it progress, apparently.
And if any middle class liberal objects, ask him if he’d be happy for his daughter to be employed thus.
Only railway organisation I’ve ever seen that went to the trouble of having draft retarders in the chimney- A mesh screen attached to a wire and counterweight that flips shut and partially chokes the fire when the firehole door is open.
The idea was to minimise the risk of slacks and coal dust on the incoming shovel load being get ignited in mid-air, sucked straight through the tubes and out the chimney as flying sparks.
Most other railways worldwide didn’t go to the trouble of having an extra device on top of the usual mesh spark arrestors and the like in the smokebox. But then again, they weren’t running Collie coal…

He is a complete fucking imbecile.
Rex, could have had a contract at Collie once. FIFO from the East Coast (especially FNQ) killed it and I wasn’t interested in moving west in the boom.
Geology of Collie looks interesting, nomenclature indicates the sediment deposition wasn’t entirely uniform. All sitting on a Precambrian base. Reminds me of drilling in SA, once we hit the green lithologies of the Adelaide basement that was TD, they were Cambrian era.
Cheers, something to delve into this weekend when I get bored.
And yet it could get worse, much worse.
Does this mean that Centrelink can force you to accept employment in a brothel yet?
Errr… Hit up Bellarine Peninsula, Victorian Goldfields at Maldon, Puffing Billy or Steamrail.
Ask if you can get access to some of the dross in their coal stages. Pay if you have to.
The stuff will usually be some form of Gunnedah or other Hunter basin coal, and the dregs will probably pre-crushed. Avoid the lumps of slate if you can.
If you get glossy black lumps or greyish, powdery coated stuff, you can smack it to size with a hammer and sieve to the size you need. As this is still ‘live’ and combustible coal, you will need to burn it first.
If you are actually after the ash (call carbon and volatiles consumed) for making foundry sand, the same mobs would probably be very happy for you to make off with a few bucketfuls from their ash pits after a running day. Smokebox dustings will be your friend there- Anything out of the ashpan will be full of clinkers (fused iron pyrites), which can be sharp and will play merry hell with your gloves.
Sovereign Hill might have been the place to chase up once, but they have converted all their steam-operated machinery to compressed air or electric operation. And I don’t know if the paddle steamers at Echuca are solely oil-fired or not these days.
H/T to Jeremy Hans again for spotting a typical piece of chicanery from Andrews and co. They announced today a public consultation on oversight of the police, as follow up to the Gobbo royal commission – with submissions due by the beginning of February. That is, when everybody is distracted by Christmas dinner (is it still legal to say Christmas in Victoria?) and the beach. Typical Socialist Left sham.

Astute observation, Mr. Forwheels.
Absent the worldwide revolution, Fascism is the logical advance on Socialism, with Corporatism & faux Nationalism added to the mix.
The only viable option for electoral success for Labor given that they’re no longer the party of the working class, which was in large part destroyed because of policies they adopted in the 1980s.
Since it’s the ALP & Ausfalia, however, we’ll miss out on the storied benefits of Fascism:
The trains won’t run on time and we won’t get brand spanking new motorways with no speed limits.
Way back when, the daughter of a sober, respectable, God fearing friend of mine, was referred by Centerlink for the position of telephonist, at a very exclusive sporting house…….
If it helps, when Bennett Brook Railway imported its two South African Railways NG15s in 1983, some of the SA fuel was found still in the tenders.
Geological examination and comparison revealed that the fuel these things had been running on in Port Elizabeth was almost identical to the profile of Collie coal.
Now, I have fired some real shit in South Africa, including (presumably) Wolverkrans coal that was little more than flammable slag. It was hard to reconcile the similarities of the fuel, given that Collie coal’s friability extends even to its clinkers (You can disintegrate even a big one with a sneeze).
Babylon, it shall fall, quickly and shockingly.
Then we face the new reality and mask mandates will become a pleasant and comforting thought from our past.
Well…”My Body, My Choice” is apparently now up for debate, so who knows?
I like the idea of you …

All the stories were wrong. All the tales – fake.
There were no Uber mints.
Rex, Moura has some coal like that. Vitreous and so friable only the best & careful drillers could core it. I hated sampling it as it was so fragile. Saw some wicked gas kicks in that area too. One I have on film. Another we were still getting above LEL CH4 readings on the gas meter at 20m from the collar a week later.
Too bad about the faulting in the area that essentially trapped a number of rod strings and made it unviable. We were looking at it for Metallurgical coal.
Another we were still getting above LEL CH4 readings on the gas meter at 20m from the collar a week later.
That’s quite a bit of gas!
He’s also the only one who has taken the WA Government to the court over their shut the border policy. The Federal Government should have jointly appeared with Clive to protect the Federal Constitution, they did nothing.
It’s good that Clive gave it a shot, our governments, state and Federal, are determined to continue their tyranny.
My first thought was whores & johns in Victoria are now worse off under Fiona Patten/Daniel Andrews than they were in Deadwood under Al Swearengen.

and that’s bleak
how about work experience?
Rickw, one hole I was supervising we lost 20K litres all with drilling muds in the space of an afternoon. Hole dry. Driller fairly experienced was scratching his head, didn’t feel like a fault, I saw nothing in the chips indicating as much. However the fluids were going somewhere and the only conclusion from both of us was a fault. He was worried the client would quibble on the usage of additives and standby to send the water truck away. I was happy to vouch for this one. Client was relaxed about it, I guess expected but we lost the rod string a couple of days later when the hole bridged trapping it solid.
I know why Anglo kept to Dawson and avoided that area.
Seriously, between Daniel Andrews, Fiona Pattern & the Animal Rights demons, dogs & other creatures now have more health & LIFE protection than prostitutes.

To be honest, The Cat seems to be one of a very few sites in Australia where the orthodoxy is questioned.
No wonder 99.99% of my friends, family, acquaintances and sparring partners on other sites are pro lockdown, anti the non vaccinated, and pro compulsory vaccination.

Looks like protests, large and small, are having an effect.
Clearly, the kinds of parents that raced their 12 to 15 children in to get vaccinated want to do the same with 5 to 11s and are no doubt clamoring for that opportunity, all in all, with Dictator Dan, it’s all politics, all the time.
“The state government has given its clearest indication yet of the criteria it will use to scrap controversial vaccine mandates as criticism grows of rules forcing people to prove their vaccination status in shops and other settings.
“Premier Daniel Andrews said the rules could change in the next few weeks but only after health authorities assessed the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines for children aged between five and 11, and the booster program”
Premier hints at end to rules locking out unvaccinated, at the age might be paywalled
