Row upon row upon row of the graves of people of about my age, young blokes who’d died awful painful deaths far from home. That was it, that was the end of them, gone, forever.

It didn’t shake me as such, but it gave me a lot to think about.

Admittedly this has occurred but if there hadn’t needed to be a war to discover these technologies would they not otherwise have advanced due to other necessities?

Is the very nature of Religion Hypocrisy?

Freedom to discriminate.

Being religious, married and indulging in adultery, how many people have done that?

God is based on a faith and a belief that can never be validated or proved by science, yet religious people carry on as if God does exist.

Preachers and Priests who preach in front of people without letting them know the truth, and the truth is they they do not know if they is a God or Not, and it looks like there isn’t, so why keep preaching about it? By not letting people know the truth they are actively deceiving people.

Religion seems full of double standards.

Politicians that shift logic and ethics to fit, mould ethics to fit in current laws.

Logic and ethics should not be used that way.

Seems like an ancient Roman type of way to deal with all the different Gods they had at the time.

Fed up with the double standards that religious freedom and religious discrimination bring to society for the rest of us to deal with.

Freedom of sexual orientation is a right, not a crime, the rest in that list can lead to criminal intent.

Freedom of sexual orientation is up to the individual and I cannot see how it would violate people rights.

The rest in that list deal with juxtaposition of rights which can lead some people to violating other people rights.

Juxtaposition of rights does not get talked about in most societies.

Last I checked Elon Musk’s net worth is somewhere in the region of 290 to 300 billion dollars..

the issue with this is that it totally ignores time value effects – which would be significant (even if only factored in over the past century) unless you were hiding your money under your mattress.

They are taxed and they pay as much as they have to. They employ very good accountants that exploit every loophole in the tax legislation so as to minimise the amount they have to pay.
So don’t blame them, blame the various governments for not closing the loopholes – they’ve only had over a century to do that.

Realistically they’re only taxed when they realise a profit. Just owning as stock doesn’t do that, it’s only when it is sold that taxation comes into it.

It looks as if the original was written in German, and it translates as:

Wolf: Don’t you realise that I’m the Wolf? Don’t you want to run away?

Sheep 1: We’ve put herd immunity into effect

Sheep 2: There isn’t a wolf

Sheep 3: It (the wolf) only really visits the elderly and the sick

Sheep 4: The body of a healthy sheep can fight against the bite of a wolf.

“Just minutes before the race started, he was on the starting grid presenting Jamie Whincup with a Hall of Fame award. Morrison was well received and even applauded when he presented Whincup with his gong. He certainly was not booed.”

I different take and I don’t think it an accurate one. Maybe the crowd was applauding Jamie and not the PM and kept their boos for a more appropriate time. Nice spin though.

It is the considered opinion of Mr buffy and friend (currently sitting in the kitchen gossiping like old men), that the speeds quoted are very unlikely to have been the speeds used.

The 230kph at the end of conrod seemed fairly accurate. Race speed there is around 300kph.

From TATE:

The word Arctic comes from the Greek word ἀρκτικός (arktikos), “near the Bear, northern” and from the word ἄρκτος (arktos), meaning bear. The name refers either to the constellation Ursa Major, the “Great Bear”, which is prominent in the northern portion of the celestial sphere, or to the constellation Ursa Minor, the “Little Bear”, which contains the celestial north pole (currently very near Polaris, the current north Pole Star, or North Star).

I thought it was because Edison’s DC network was going to be so much less practical than Westinghouse’s AC.

Edison was going to need a power house every few kms/miles, or something, whereas AC was better suited to longer-distance transmission.

And Edison was the one who strove mightily to make Westinghouse and AC power the villains of the piece, going so far as to electrocute an (admittedly murderous) elephant.

It’s from a computer game called Portal. In the game you run around various rooms and you have a very special gun – You point it at, say, a wall then shoot, and a virtual hole appears. Point the gun at another surface, pull the trigger, and another virtual hole appears. You can walk or jump or fall through one of the holes and exit via the other hole. It’s a clever game.
