Under the government’s just announced new covid regime for 2023 you’ll need a GP referral just to access a PCR test.

The virus will be treated “like any other respiratory disease outbreak.”

In other words, they’re going to do what they should have done in the beginning according to then existing pandemic protocols.

I suppose we should be grateful, but without a measure of justice for the damage done by the politicians and the epidemiologsts and health bureaucrats who advised them it feels like a hollow victory.

Parachutist who leapt from edge of space dies aged 94

Joseph Kittinger Jr was a decorated fighter pilot, a prisoner of war who survived 11 months in the “Hanoi Hilton” and a balloonist who set a world record by flying 3200km across America while ditching all his ballast, landing in his underwear.

These were not nearly his most talked-about adventures. Colonel Kittinger, whose death at the age of 94 was announced at the weekend, was best known as the longtime record holder for the highest parachute jump: a leap into the unknown at the start of the space age to test whether anyone could survive outside an aircraft 30km above the earth.

In 1960, after rising in a gondola beneath a helium balloon to 31,333m above New Mexico, he stepped out and almost reached the speed of sound before the lower atmosphere slowed his descent and he could open his chute.

It was the last of three experimental jumps to test whether military pilots might survive an ejection in the stratosphere. “Some people say never volunteer,” Colonel Kittinger told Forbes magazine years later. “I say always volunteer. Every great thing I ever did was because I volunteered. I’d be in a room and the boss would say we need a volunteer for this and I’d be the only one to stick my hand up. I’d think: ‘Gosh, what’s wrong with me?’ But I ended up with some very interesting projects.”

John Mica, 79, a former congressman, said his friend Colonel Kittinger died from lung cancer. The US Parachute Association hailed the colonel’s “long, lonely leap”, which set a record that stood for 52 years until 2012 when Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian skydiver, jumped from 38,969m with Colonel Kittinger serving as an adviser.

Colonel Kittinger had cheated death, however, on one of his three jumps in 1960. A stabiliser chute became tangled round his neck as he fell and he passed out. He woke again when a reserve chute opened a mile above the ground. He said he thought he was dead but when he saw the parachute’s canopy above him he realised that he was “impossibly, wonderfully, alive”.

there are some forums where your’e like a god and people hang on yr every word.

Magic Marvin is a God. Yea, I can see that.

Everything is normal.

Marv considers himself godly.

Driller told us he’s labor royalty

Wonstron /Turtlehead wants to see 1000 people shot on the back of the head.

Mental health isn’t a problem at all.

There’s a certain cognitive dissonance at play for Shantaram to sling off about mental health.

Psychopathic Labor royalty is seriously serious.

Brilliant. These morons are that shit scared of dying from ‘climate change’ they now want to starve everyone to death into saving the planet.
FMD. How soon can that next dinosaur metor get here and sort it out?

In those days the bank used to weigh my bags of coins and compare that weight with bags of their own. But I was always bemused because the scales weren’t electronic – it looked like somebody had brought their mother’s kitchen scales to work.

Never saw balance scales used in a bank. I’d have been around in those days, but too poor to be a commercial customer, especially with coins.

Can image they were razor sharp accurate – I’ve used similar scales to measure powder for hand-loading ammo. Weights that are nothing more than a shaving of aluminium (or so they seem)

One day years ago I was in the queue at a bank & in front of me was someone with a vending machine business making a wheelbarrow-sized deposit in coin of every denomination.
It was painfully slow as the teller was opening every bag andhandcounting it.

Eventually the manager came out & said, way too loud coz we all heard it, “Farq this! Just count a couple of bags & if they balance correctly, just accept the rest at face value, if there’s any shortages it’ll be the loss of whichever customer gets them in a change order, farq this, this is bullsheet, farq”

He was right & I agree with him, though he shouldn’t have said it so loud, as there was bound to be some snowflake listening who found his attitude a bit too confrontational.

Speedbox, I can see the possible reason. In those those days, fitting out every branch with a new gizmo would have cost a few bickies. Then imagine the maintenance cost because it’s always a good idea to provision when humans and fairly delicate machines interact. Sometimes near enough is just good enough, if you know what I mean.

Cost of fitting out every branch: circa $2,000
(or a fraction of what they waste of furniture when they toss out perfectly good desks & chairs coz head office orders an unneeded replacement)

Maintenance cost: circa zero.

Any suggestion “near enough is good enough” can come only from one who has neither used nor has any idea of the accuracy of balance scales or electronic coin & note scales.
Both methods are extremely accurate. The electronic scales are however much faster & have the ability to print reports.

Banks were very late adopters of coin/note weighing technology. I’d have been using electronic scales for nearly ten years before banks dragged their tired elephantine carcase into the 21st century & got some.
It was frustrating to watch tellers count by hand, taking up to 3/4 of an hour (okay in extreme) to count & recount with at times endless errors (tellers ain’t what they used to be) what I’d counted correctly in a couple of minutes.

Can image they were razor sharp accurate – I’ve used similar scales to measure powder for hand-loading ammo. Weights that are nothing more than a shaving of aluminium (or so they seem)

Supposed to have been a set of scales in a bank in Kalgoorlie that could weigh a cigarette paper.

Two police officers and a member of the public have been killed after they were ambushed on the western Darling Downs, understood to be by two gunmen wearing camouflage.

The police officers killed in the execution-style shooting are a 29-year-old male and 26-year-old female.
After they were shot, it’s understood the gunmen stood over the officers and fired further rounds into them again.

Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll, addressing the media tonight, said the offenders were yet to be taken into custody.

Two officers managed to escape.
A male officer suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was rushed to Chinchilla Hospital.
A female officer who managed to escape was forced to hide on the property before she was rescued by back-up officers.

It was also understood a fire was also lit at the property.

The Special Emergency Response Team has been sent into the property.
The bodies of the two officers have been retrieved by a large contingent of police.

The officers were sent to the property relating to a missing persons report.

Whoever these bastards are, they’ve not got long left.

Crikey, these bastards really meant it:

4 x police officers approach the house. (2 x male, 2 x female)
When the police draw near, 2 x baddies from the house open fire.
3 x police are wounded by the gunfire & fall to the ground.
1 x police (girl) bolts into the surrounding timber.

2 x baddies walk up to the wounded cops laying on the ground.
2 x baddies stand over the wounded cops & shoot them dead.

1 x wounded cop manages to wriggle away to the car & drives away, raises alarm.

1 x girl cop is somewhere in the surrounding timber.

2 x baddies set the bush afire, so the girl cop either comes out to be shot, or burns.

Shitloads of other cops turn up (some time may have passed) rescue girl copper & recover the dead police.

1 x neighbour has managed to somehow get shot dead in all this gunfire.

2 x baddies still on the run.

These bastards really mean business alright.

Plenty of cops need a bullet to the head. Plenty of cops would agree with this statement.

what you see here from mUnty … is only the pointy end of these people’s insanity

I’m not sure about that Magic Marv. He at least doesn’t appear to have a god complex. Lol.

Tell us, are the meds the cause of the insane ego?

You were the problem.

Where there is smoke, there is fire! The big question nobody is asking is who appointed one of these deranged psychopaths as a principal of a kids school? Has that person/those people still have a job? If so, why? How many other unstable lunatics are in charge of kids at school? Why no concentrated demand for a public inquiry (think Royal Commission into child abuse?) inflicted by education bureaucrats promoting sociopaths into kids schools?
