I’m going to say this meme is a fail. Not only does it require the reader to be bilingual in English and Norwegian, and to codeswitch mid-meme, but nise is not even pronounced like the English word “nice”. It is pronounced more like “NEE-suh”.

Anna Russell was an English-born singer and comedienne who moved to Unionville, Ontario, Canada in the 1960s. She was so highly thought of that Unionville renamed the street she lived on Anna Russell Way. As she got older, when she gave her address her interlocutors would patiently say, “No, dear, that’s your name. Where do you live?” (I’m not making this up, you know.)
She moved to Rosedale in NSW to stay with a friend with whom she had an almost mother-daughter relationship, where she died in 2006.

someone might have added some wheels to that first picture, you’d need some axle to drive that and not bend, and break

The top left pic is very ‘shopped. It only has 8 tires. I climbed all over that in the late 70’s when it was at the Dowerin Field Days.

Not just Ukranian. My dad bought an exarmy tank and used it as a tractor to clear the farm I grew up on in WA. It was very cool, it had a 9 cylinder radial aircraft engine with straight pipes. Fkn loud it was.

Yes, and also for extra traction in slippery conditions. Some farmers fit 3 tires on the end of each axle, but usually only narrow ones or else they touch when turning.

Im adding the same engine on the rear side, maybe modify the diff if needed, fit in some large fuel tanks.
Just to be sure.
I might need to tow more tanks.

Hey we all need a bit of a warm house coming on to winter if we like a bit of gardening, eh?

Heating wasn’t optional. I’ll have to make something up if I require that but not on the agenda for this, It is simply an attempt to make seedliings and cuttings easier in the cooler months.
I do have a small bottom heat seedling tray but hey, I’m only tryiing to keep a bit ahead of the seasons. Not outcompete them.

Well you will keep them out by force if necessary because it is ALL about numbers, it is a question of survival for both the refugee and the inhabitants of the land they wish to move onto. And it will happen long before the numbers turn into billions, only then will the means become even more dire. This is not about being nice and offering a helping hand. It is purely about survival!

LOL a few boats. multiply that by 100s. we wouldn’t stand a chance.
We have guns, we have radar, we have drones, we have planes. If we want to stop them we will, which will be a lifeline for everyone and every living thing on this island continent.
and you don’t think they’ll be organised? they won’t be like the refugees of old. plus some might even have some of their government’s backing. it’ll be a whole new ballgame.

Yes it will be like a new ballgame that must be won just like a war and eventually due to the overwhelming numbers all means will be used. This will not be a dispute, it will be a war of survival.

you seem to think countries will still exist to repel refugees. that probably won’t be the case. It will be suitable locations. and if those locations cross borders then those borders will cease to exist. WA if under threat could not rely on the eastern states help. they would cut us free and have the nullabor as a DMZ. If it gets warmer then maybe people will flock to the southern states. will they want their resources used by “foreigners”?

What you say is very feasible, but what ever happens it is not going to be nice and the ideals that you have proffered are not going to work or even be of interest in the not too distant future. Nature is going to sort it out, as we have not been able to do it for ourselves.

Fortunately more and more women are waking up to how transgender activism entails a relentless attack on women’s rights.
There are many articles like this out there:

Don’t expect a turn-around from a poseur like Van Badham though, until the dictates of fashion demand it.

There were reports from the UK several days back that some serving members of UK defence forces had gone AWL to join the Ukrainian forces.
But, this was their own (illegal) initiative, and they weren’t going there as part of any NATO force.

Seems you’re right:
>Grey was the only available colour to paint the Sydney Harbour Bridge
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is grey in colour for a reason. About 272,000 litres of paint was used on this bridge.
During the construction of the bridge, the only available colour was grey. The men employed to paint this bridge worked throughout the year.
This is because it took that long to paint it. By the time they were done with the first coat, it was time for the next one.
They also use special fast-drying paint that dries mid-air before reaching the bridge surface or vehicles.

While the bridge is certainly a Sydney icon today, at the time of construction, approximately 800 families living in the planned path of the Harbour Bridge were displaced without any compensation (certainly not a fun fact, but definitely an interesting one!)

At each end of the arch stands a pair of 89-metre-high (292 ft) concrete pylons, faced with granite. The pylons were designed by the Scottish architect Thomas S. Tait, a partner in the architectural firm John Burnet & Partners.
Some 250 Australian, Scottish, and Italian stonemasons and their families relocated to a temporary settlement at Moruya, NSW, 300 km (186 mi) south of Sydney, where they quarried around 18,000 m3 (635,664 cu ft) of granite for the bridge pylons. The stonemasons cut, dressed, and numbered the blocks, which were then transported to Sydney on three ships built specifically for this purpose. The Moruya quarry was managed by John Gilmore, a Scottish stonemason who emigrated with his young family to Australia in 1924, at the request of the project managers. The concrete used was also Australian-made and supplied from Kandos, New South Wales.
Abutments at the base of the pylons are essential to support the loads from the arch and hold its span firmly in place, but the pylons themselves have no structural purpose. They were included to provide a frame for the arch panels and to give better visual balance to the bridge. The pylons were not part of the original design, and were only added to allay public concern about the structural integrity of the bridge.
Although originally added to the bridge solely for their aesthetic value, all four pylons have now been put to use. The south-eastern pylon contains a museum and tourist centre, with a 360° lookout at the top providing views across the harbour and city. The south-western pylon is used by the New South Wales Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) to support its CCTV cameras overlooking the bridge and the roads around that area. The two pylons on the north shore include venting chimneys for fumes from the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, with the base of the southern pylon containing the RMS maintenance shed for the bridge, and the base of the northern pylon containing the traffic management shed for tow trucks and safety vehicles used on the bridge.
In 1942, the pylons were modified to include parapets and anti-aircraft guns designed to assist in both Australia’s defence and general war effort. The top level of stonework was never removed.

I think they are also aesthetically pleasing.
my grandfather was a master stone mason. Also there was not much work around at the time for a master stone mason. But he could catch a train to work and that was an upside.
The Bayonne Bridge in the US is built to the same sort of steel arch design. Similar size as the Sydney bridge. It has no pillars.

To be fair I think about 800 odd people plus their guards had done that to the people who lived around the area in 1788 as well so there is precedent .

Should I put them by your gates?
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
Oh, who do they think could bury you?
With your pockets well protected at last
And your streetcar visions which ya place on the grass
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass
Who could they get to carry you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I put them by your gate?
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace
And your basement clothes and your hollow face
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
And your matchbook songs and your gypsy hymns
Who among them would try to impress you?
Leave the judgemental stuff to Boris.

No argument. The only Bob Dylan albums I have were passed to me from a deceased estate.
However, The Byrds doing Bob Dylan songs were where I first noticed that I could hear the lyrics.

Outside the Wall Lyrics
(Waters) 1:42
All alone, or in two’s,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they’ve given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it’s not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger’s wall.
“Isn’t this where….”

Resorting to LOL rather than engaging in argument is the same deal.
James Kirkup, one of the few journalists with the guts to have been covering this issue consistently for years, has come up with the concept of ‘Rowling’s Razor’.
Kirkup giving the argument this title is a stroke of genius, but it would be remiss not to mention that the question was originally posed by Jack Appleby, talking not about Rowling but the dreaded ‘TERFS’ who had been sent death and rape threats for years for not bending the knee to an ideology cooked up by grifting US academics and teenagers on Tumblr, and happily adopted by sex offenders, women-hating trolls and celebrities on Twitter terrified of looking unfashionable.

Boggy ALWAYS answers “LOL” when supposedly “engaging” me when he’s defending his commitment to women-cancelling transgender ideology.
I saw those posts. I wouldn’t take it so personally myself.
I don’t take it personally. I’m happy to argue my positions carefully and rationally, but when the only response is a drooling LOL from a halfwit, I’m not going to pretend I’m speaking to an intelligent human being.
If arguing that biological sex doesn’t exist is one extreme then dismissing the concept of gender is the other. Calling someone a halfwit because they don’t share your binary understanding of the issue seems to me to be taking it very personally indeed.

I don’t “dismiss” the concept of gender. It’s painfully obvious that the concept of gender represents the resurrection of the most laughable prehistoric sexist stereotypes.
“Our son has always enjoyed dressing up and playing with dolls – I feel sure he’s really a girl!”
“Our daughter likes baseball and never plays with her Barbie. I’m pretty sure she’s transgender so should I start calling her he?”
etc etc

Boris doesn’t need me to stand up for him, but I have to say that his past behaviour and support of women shows me that he either not at all mysogynistic or has been putting on a good show..

I don’t.
Here’s what I wrote about it.
It’s too weird really.
I mean for example Father found a one million year old android, helped it rebuild itself, and hardly anyone is interested in it. How it got there, what it’s background is, what was the planet like back then. And why it’s the same Mythraic design as Mother.
And how nearly everything they touch does something bizarre, eg -
“I broke a twig on that tree AND OMG IT TURNED INTO A GIANT FLYING RHINOCEROUS!!”
“I drank the water from that pond AND OMG THE WATER TURNED INTO A THREE BEDROOM HOUSE WITH A SWIMMING POOL!!”
“I was bitten by an insect AND OMG I’M TURNING INTO A PIKACHU!!”
“I opened a strange box that appeared for no apparent reason AND OMG THAT HUGE MOUNTAIN TURNED INTO A KITTY-CAT!!”
“I plugged the power into Mother AND OMG SHE’S TURNED INTO A FOUR-SLICE TOASTER!!”
Etc.

“The film tells the story of two con men competing to swindle an heiress out of $50,000. Caine plays educated and suave Lawrence Jamieson, who stages elaborate ruses to bilk rich women, while Martin plays his less refined, small-time rival, Freddy Benson. It takes place on the French Riviera.”
Since composing “Blackbird” in 1968, McCartney has given various statements regarding both his inspiration for the song and its meaning. In one of these scenarios, he has said he was inspired by hearing the call of a blackbird one morning when the Beatles were studying Transcendental Meditation in Rishikesh, India. In another, he recalls writing it in Scotland as a response to racial tensions escalating in the United States during the spring of 1968.In May 2002, following a show in Dallas, Texas, McCartney discussed the song with KCRW DJ Chris Douridas, saying:
I had been doing some in the last year or so because I’ve got a poetry book out called Blackbird Singing, and when I would read “Blackbird”, I would always try and think of some explanation to tell the people … So, I was doing explanations, and I actually just remembered why I’d written “Blackbird”, you know, that I’d been, I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of “you were only waiting for this moment to arise” was about, you know, the black people’s struggle in the southern states, and I was using the symbolism of a blackbird. It’s not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it’s a bit more symbolic.
In 2018, McCartney further elaborated on the song’s meaning, explaining that “blackbird” should be interpreted as “black girl”, in the context of the civil rights troubles in southern 1960s US.
A third scenario came from the recollection of his stepmother, Angie McCartney. She said that McCartney wrote it for her elderly mother, Edith Stopforth, who was staying at Jim McCartney’s house while recovering from a long illness. Angie recalled that McCartney visited the house and sat at Edith’s bedside, where Edith told him that she would listen to a bird singing at night.”

Seems as though PMcC has no idea what the song is about and in any case you don’t need to consider the above to interpret the meme. I admit it’s more a puzzle piece than “funny”.

I had been doing some in the last year or so because I’ve got a poetry book out called Blackbird Singing, and when I would read “Blackbird”, I would always try and think of some explanation to tell the people … So, I was doing explanations, and I actually just remembered why I’d written “Blackbird”, you know, that I’d been, I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of “you were only waiting for this moment to arise” was about, you know, the black people’s struggle in the southern states, and I was using the symbolism of a blackbird. It’s not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it’s a bit more symbolic.
In 2018, McCartney further elaborated on the song’s meaning, explaining that “blackbird” should be interpreted as “black girl”, in the context of the civil rights troubles in southern 1960s US.
A third scenario came from the recollection of his stepmother, Angie McCartney. She said that McCartney wrote it for her elderly mother, Edith Stopforth, who was staying at Jim McCartney’s house while recovering from a long illness. Angie recalled that McCartney visited the house and sat at Edith’s bedside, where Edith told him that she would listen to a bird singing at night.”

the thing that really was disappointing was his speech, which, despite his earlier actions, he did not edit… in fact her did not say “I am trying to be better and I know I wasn’t earlier, and I’m sorry for that.. etc”. he did’t say a word until today… maybe someone got in his ear…
also the actions of others there were in defence of WS and NOT of the alleged target JP-S… I didn’t see anyone going up to see if she was ok… also this has taken away form all the good things that the Oscars are supposed to celebrate.. the industry and the art and whatever… I don’t even watch the oscars (mainly because I don’t watch movies) but do look at the list of winners , yet this has overshadowed everything so I also feel for the real winners of the night who should be getting the media today but aren’t.

The whole lotta ‘em belong to The Mutual Backslap Society. “The wonderful Director… I love you all…… You are all so talented……. I love you all” When they all actually hate each others guts and can’t stand anyone that’s in more lime light that they are.

I think WS should keep the award, but get suspended for a year or 2.and take some counselling to contain his violence .

Unless he means MIG 29’s which were offered to Ukraine but deemed outclassed by newer jets Russia possesses
Would fighter jets that old still be used, the same model designation but newer perhaps might but that’s old for any type of plane to be used

Yeah Ukraine would still use them I suspect. The radar & other sensors wouldn’t be as good as the newer gear but so far it seems to be going okay for the Ukrainians. A fighter like that is just a machine to carry the ordnance to the launch/drop site anyway these days.

MiG 29s are still in production, as its various models are popular with air forces that have a history of using Russian planes (e.g. India and Pakistan).
The design work was done in the mid- to late-1970s, and the first Mig29s entered service in the early-to-mid 1980s. So, Trump’s blatherings are sort of correct and sort of wrong.

Having done my independent research, here is my theory:
The woman hanging around the neck of the McCartney character represents the broken wings being presented to the blackbird character, so he can learn to fly.

You’ll need to know all that but it’s a very popular film, a classic even, so that’s assumed knowledge but if not you’ve have like 26 hours to give it a quick google.

Not really. There’s no play on words, it’s not even a joke, just a similar situation.

Both the North and South polar regions saw anomalous heat on Friday 18 March.
Temperatures in parts of Antarctica were more than 70 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average, while temperatures in parts of the Arctic were more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average. This is notable because the Arctic is entering its spring, while Antarctica is approaching its autumn.
“They are opposite seasons. You don’t see the north and the south (poles) both melting at the same time,” National Snow and Ice Data Center scientist Walt Meier told AP News. “It’s definitely an unusual occurrence.”
The heat wave in Antarctica was first reported by The Washington Post on Friday 18 March. Temperatures in parts of Eastern Antarctica have been around 70 degrees Fahrenheit above average for three days. This means that instead of a chilly minus-50 or minus-60 degrees Fahrenheit, they have been a relatively balmy zero or 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Experts say that the Antarctic heat wave is not necessarily due to the climate crisis, but instead a simple anomaly. However, if incidents like this repeat, that calculation may change.

As noted in our previous post, in the Southern Hemisphere, sea ice reached its record minimum extent for the year on the same day, February 25. For the first time in the satellite record, which began in 1979, extent fell below 2 million square kilometers (772,000 square miles) at 1.92 million square kilometers (741,000 square miles). This year’s minimum extent was 190,000 square kilometers (73,400 square miles) below the previous record set on March 3, 2017. The Antarctic minimum extent is 930,000 square kilometers (359,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average minimum of 2.85 million square kilometers (1.10 million square miles).

Putin has taken their dream on communism and turned it onto capitalism. Putin owns a billion dollar yacht, billion dollar mansions, takes 50 percent off the top rich, has a beautiful girlfriend…

$38 billion unrecoverable by firms not needing labour subsidies & suffered no revenue losses,
because PM “not into politics of envy”.
2000 social securiy recipents suicided when targeted by Robodebt scheme.

The Robodebt quote was – and still is – one of the most chilling declarations by any elected

More seriously, hundreds of thousands of people were adversely affected. This human cost is difficult to assess and involves much more than financial losses.
Just over 2,000 people who had received a Robodebt notice between July 2016 and October 2018 died during that period, although in the absence of an official coroner’s report, no causes can be attributed.
However, it has been noted that from January 2017, Centrelink began tweeting the contact number for Lifeline, the national charity providing 24-hour support and suicide prevention services.

So it’s not very funny, it was meant to be more of a “I see what you did there” kind of thing but this was thwarted by my audience’s inability to put 2 and 2 together. PWM worked it out in short order because surprisingly he’s the one with his finger on the pulse of the creative arts of the Western Civilisation. I did pop it on a meme site just to check whether I’d gone insane but it got mostly upvotes, and Pun Gent got the joke without explanation, so it is indeed an interpretable meme. Witty Rejoinder and Rev presented the two parts of the explanation, basically just had to combine their two answers and split the prize, but it was not to be.
In this famous scene from the comedy classic Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Jamieson (in the guise of Dr. Emil Schaffhausen) calls on the wheelchair-bound Benson to get up and dance. The opening words of the song Blackbird call on a bird with broken wings to learn to fly, clearly impossible.
That’s it. I am just drawing to attention to the fact that on its face Blackbird opens with what appears to be cruel mockery of a disabled avian.

Anime is Japanese animation, while manga is Japanese comic books. Hentai is the word Western people use to refer to either anime or manga that has adult content; the Japanese use it as an insult roughly translating to “pervert”.
Anime are cartoons you would see on tv.
Manga is comic books.
If any of those had naked people in it, it would be called hentai.
https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/nhysk/eli5_the_difference_between_anime_manga_and_hentai/
there are manga movies, i have seen them at cinemas. not all are porn.
In Japan, people of all ages read manga. The medium includes works in a broad range of genres: action, adventure, business and commerce, comedy, detective, drama, historical, horror, mystery, romance, science fiction and fantasy, erotica (hentai and ecchi), sports and games, and suspense, among others. wiki.

How many Ukrainians does it take to change a light bulb?
They don’t need to. They glow in the dark.
How many dead politicians does it take to change a light bulb?
As many as possible.
How many American presidents does it take to change a light bulb?
None. He’ll only promise change, and send the bill to the next generation.
How many American vice presidents does it take to change a light bulb?
One. But it has to be a pretty dim bulb.
How many American economists does it take to change a light bulb?
Just one. But it really gets screwed.
How many Russian leaders does it take to change a light bulb?
Nobody knows. Russian leaders don’t last as long as light bulbs.
How many Russian communists does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The seeds of revolution and change are within the light bulb itself.
How many Russians does it take to change a light bulb?
That’s a military secret

How many Australians does it take to change a light bulb?

The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Europe and Asia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent.
In Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.

“Well, in American hell they flay you alive, boil you in oil, chain you to a rock and let a vulture peck your liver out”.
“Uh, thanks but no thanks, I think I’ll check out Russian hell”.
So Colin wanders over to talk to Karl Marx at the gate to Russian hell. There is a long queue of people waiting to get in.

Ive had that light on in my work truck for 6 years. It’s in limp mode only making 60% horsepower. We’ve spent $14,000 so trying to track down the problem so far without any luck. New injectors and buckets, new top end wiring harness, new variable geometry turbo, new electrical connectors on the ECU etc. It seems as though the fault is in the wiring harness in the chassis, so that’s about another $10,000.
Right, so I didn’t recall it either. So I went and turned the key in my Suzuki. And there it was. It goes out when you start the engine. And according to the manual it is a malfunction indicator light for the computer controlled emission system.

Me. Every time I drive. When I was working it was every day before I drove to work. It’s a habit. Although as for 18 years my drive to work was 60km (and then back again!) and then it was 30km (and back again) it is always safer to know things are as they should be rather than having to wait for a couple of hours for RACV or something.

they really don’t make cars like they used to where a little TLC will help the longevity of the car.. I don’t think it matters now… having said that, I don’t check anything, given that I drive in a highly populated area and help is a mere 30 mins away and home is a short Uber ride if necessary…

I don’t. I know my vehicle doesn’t lose oil or water.

Not really. It projects landmasses from both hemispheres onto one hemisphere. It leaves out Antarctica.
The point it’s trying to show is that much of Australia lies in the same latitude zone as the major deserts, eg Sahara.

Yep. It looks strange but makes sense.
There are very few land masses on Earth that are opposite other land masses. Australia for instance, fits neatly in the North Atlantic.
So they could have put Australia in the North Atlantic rather than the North Pacific.

It used to be a thing, Christians would have them as car stickers. The church I went to as a lad I reckon about a third of the cars in the carpark on any given Sunday would have had one.

Ichthys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ichthys was adopted as a Christian symbol.
The ichthys or ichthus (/ˈɪkθəs/), from the Greek ikhthū́s (ἰχθύς, 1st cent. AD Koine Greek pronunciation: , “fish”) is a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish. The symbol was adopted by early Christians as a secret symbol; a shibboleth to determine if another was indeed Christian. It is now known colloquially as the “sign of the fish” or the “Jesus fish”.
The first appearances of the ichthys in Christian art and literature dates to the 2nd century. The symbol’s use among Christians had become popular by the late 2nd century, and its use spread widely in the 3rd and 4th centuries. In early Christian history, the ichthys symbol held “the most sacred significance,” and Christians used it to recognize churches and other believers through this symbol during a time when they faced persecution in the Roman Empire. The ichthys symbol is also a reference to “the Holy Eucharist, with which the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes had such intimate connection both in point of time and significance.” Depicted in the Catacombs of Saint Sebastian and of the Catacomb of Priscilla, the symbol is also mentioned in the Latin text titled Oracula Sibillina which dates back to the 1st-2nd century.
Symbolic meaning
ἸΧΘΥΣ (IKhThUS), or also ἸΧΘΥϹ with a lunate sigma, is an acronym or acrostic for “Ἰησοῦς Χρῑστός Θεοῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ”, Iēsoûs Khrīstós, Theoû Huiós, Sōtḗr; contemporary Koine, which translates into English as ‘Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior’.

I was reaffirming the quizzical and adding to the story.
In the 1970s the “Jesus Fish” started to be used as an icon of modern Christianity. In 1973 the symbol and message was taken to the Aquarius Rock Festival in Nimbin, Australia. Today, it can be seen as a decal or emblem on the rear of automobiles or as pendants or necklaces as a sign that the owner is a Christian. Versions of this include an Ichthys with “Jesus” or “ΙΧΘΥΣ” in the centre, or simply the Ichthys outline by itself. According to one writer, while many Christians hang a cross necklace or rosary inside their vehicles, “the fish sticker on the car is a more conscious symbol of a witnessing Christian—significantly, unlike the former, it is on the outside of the car for everyone to see.”
The Ichthus Music Festival is an annual large outdoor Christian music festival held in mid-June in Wilmore, Kentucky. It is the oldest Christian music festival in the United States, starting in 1970.
I mean the use of the fish decal to represent Christ is assumed knowledge. It’s not a riddle or something. The humorous part is the second part.

mollwollfumble said:

All sexual reproducers can be considered nth cousins y times removed where n is the lower of the number of generations to the most recent common ancestor and inbreeding isn’t going to change that. Of course some plants and animals also reproduce asexually but we’ll assume you can still count a number of generations.
But so little is known about the early Eukaryotes that it would be hard to put even order of magnitude estimate on that number of generations. We can estimate that the unikont/bikion schism occurred approximately 1600 mya, but what was the average generation period in those early times? Once a month, once a year, once in a few years?

Rupert Murdoch has praised Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, insisting billionaires buying social networks always leads to positive outcomes.
Murdoch, who spent $580m on MySpace before selling the shadow of its former self for $35m six years later, claims Musk’s purchase will prove once again that existing billionaires dabbling in social networks is something the world should readily embrace.
He went on, “In a few short years, $44bn will look like an incredible deal – mainly for the people selling Twitter to Elon Musk.
“I’ve been there, trust me; buying what you think is the platform that will put you into the hands of every Internet user on the planet, only to find out they all liked it specifically because it wasn’t owned by a billionaire.
“Still, it’s nice to enjoy this bit where you’ve bought a fun plaything and it hasn’t all gone to shit. Enjoy it, Elon.”
Twitter users have welcomed the sale, insisting Elon Musk’s promise to rid the site of spam bots can only be a good thing.
Twitterer Simon Williams told us, “I for one welcome Elon’s pledge to rid Twitter of spam bots and to make sure every user on the platform is as authentic as his hair line.”

No. It’s one picture. The ship drifted ashore during a strong storm. The picture show it just how it was.
The effect is somewhat ‘enhanced’ due to the foreshortening of the view, common in telephoto-lens pictures.

The world was built by the pissheads, the shit-faced, the ones under the affluence of incohol.
e.g. ‘What i propose is to take a ship, in this day of bugger-all aids to navigation and lethal and practically-inevitable disease which will slaughter the crew wholesale ( if hostile natives that we encounter, or starvation or thirst or shipwreck don’t do it first), and sail as yet unknown distances across seas of which we have no existing concept, right around the globe and return here after a period of at least several years. Possibly longer.’ – Ferdinand Magellan (paraphrased)

Interestingly, in the case of a roll-over, it’s the driver who dies. The passenger gets flicked off.
The driver has the top part of his body and head out of the chassis and the rest inside the chassis. And the outfit weighs a fair bit, too. 300+ kg.

If these steps had been the work of an engineer the fact that they have been successfully installed and were remaining there without falling off would have given great satisfaction.
The fact that they require a little optimisation from a safety perspective provides further grounds for investigation and interest.

This is a true Bible story, which means it belongs in this thread.
You read in 2 Kings that Elijah was lifted to heaven in a chariot of fire.
Reading the original Hebrew, “lifted to heaven” just means “killed”, and there’s no word “of” in there.
It turns out that Elijah was an early road accident victim. He was run over by a fire truck. One of these.
A fire chariot with fire horses.

The Löwenmensch figurine, also called the Lion-Human of Hohlenstein-Stadel, is a prehistoric ivory sculpture discovered in Hohlenstein-Stadel, a German cave in 1939. The German name, Löwenmensch, meaning “lion-person” or “lion-human”, is used most frequently because it was discovered and is exhibited in Germany.
Determined by carbon dating of the layer in which it was found to be between 35,000 and 40,000 years old, it is one of the oldest-known examples of an artistic representation and the oldest confirmed statue ever discovered. Its age associates it with the archaeological Aurignacian culture of the Upper Paleolithic. An example of zoomorphic art, it was carved out of mammoth ivory using a flint stone knife. Seven parallel, transverse, carved gouges are on the left arm.

90 minutes to replace the battery in my Surface 4. Most of that time spent ungluing the screen and battery and watching videos to work out how it is done. One of those jobs that when you’ve done it once you could easily halve the time to do it again.

But Queensland Resources Council chief executive Ian Macfarlane said the policy was “misguided” and would make the state less internationally competitive.
“What the government also isn’t telling people is that because of the GST equalisation process, 80 per cent of the extra royalties raised will be redirected to Canberra over the next five years anyway,” he said.

I don’t disagree with much of what you say, but most of the generators of electricity are very suddenly having big maintenance problems that can only be solved with large monetary handouts. Then you have the miners making huge windfall profits at every users expense. People are sick and tired of these companies ripping off the public and would be very happy to see them reduced in power even with initially incurring greater cost.
The comment!

I recall Australia had many government run businesses and organisations. If its products moved, they prodded them to make them move faster and then sold them off, and if they didn’t move they painted them white to make them look better than what they were and sold them off too.

It is sad times that we live in when you can’t tell the satire from the real thing.
2015 seems to have been the peak of humanity, when people were doing ok, wandering about outside with their smartphones, capturing pokemons, having fun, speaking to other actual people, and not being killed by the Russians or the Plague.
Oh, for the good old days of 2015/2016 when we didn’t have to walk to school through the snow uphill both ways, and didn’t get fatally beaten to death by our parents in order to feed their favourite child with the remaining parts of our bodies.

I’ve never seen a King hammer his own dick flat on an anvil, but I would pay good money to see that. Oh, sorry, wrong Smith.
But, on the other hand, I have seen someone called Dick Smith make small bits of electronic items for sale cheaply, and I bought a lot of his electronic parts and made battery chargers, voltage meters, etc. And he should return and explain to the youngsters of today just how to make electronic stuff.
The last time I saw him, was somewhere over the South Pole. I hope he got home safely.

they were used in punts. not anchored as that would probably munt the punt on recoil. you lay down in the punt and used paddles similar to table tennis bats to position yourself. don’t believe they were ever “legal”. Mostly used by poachers.

I wonder how much of this is related to being reasonably fit and not overweight, rather than anything to do with standing on 1 leg.

Ah, I’m too dull-witted this afternoon to spot that.
Maybe the next rover should be named Grades :)
BTW I love how Americans are always talking about their grade pount average like people from normal countries are supposed to know whether 3.17 is good or bad. Why not make it out of 10 or 100?
I was thinking about their money yesterday.
Australian currency:
(1c 2c discontinued) 5c 10c 20c, $1 $2 $5 $10 $20 $50 $100. Regularly hitting the 1s 2s and 5s.
US currency:
1c 5c 10c 25c, $1 $2 $5 $10 $20 $50 $100 $500 $1000
Some orders of mag have the 2, some don’t, one of them uses a 2.5 … bloody hell

SAN FRANSISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP SIGNIFICANCE OF IRONY
SAN FRANSISCO – Herdofsheep spoke to Jay Fullmer, 38, who became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony yesterday.
“It was wierd,” Fullmer said, “I was in London and, like, talking to this guy and it was raining and shit and he said, like, great weather, or something like that.”
Said Fullmer: “And I thought – wait a minute, it’s like, no way is it great weather.”
Fullmer soon realised that the other man’s ‘mistake’ was deliberate.
“This guy was pretty cool about it,” Fullmer said.
Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, planned to use irony himself in future.
“I’m like saying it all the time.” he said. “Weekend last I was like grilling steaks and I like burned them to shit and I said ‘great weather’.”

I’m sure they could make clothing but they just keep taking their clothes off and just didn’t have the inclination for wearing it.
If we can trick the plebs into wearing cheap clothing we can makes lots of money selling clothing that wears out quickly, and they will just keep buying…replacing, buying, replacing…..
A billion dollar industry re-clothing the plebs is not good for the environment but don’t tell anyone that, something might get done about it.

Mythbusters had an episode of air bags causing injuries because of people having feet/legs resting on them when they went off, causing more injury than the crash itself.
Didn’t test decorations on them but it would have been interesting to see what they may have done.

I set one up at Canungra in 1979. We then sat up way, way behind it on a grassy hill as it was set off. The back blast is 1/16th from memory and we were all rocked back.

That’s C4 for you. Wonderfully inert stuff (you can drop it, cut it, smack it with a hammer, burn it, and it won’t go off) but when it’s set up to go off, it goes off with a considerable blat.
Truly high explosive, gas expansion rate 26,000 feet per sec, from memory.

I never said he’d been dead for three years before he drowned.
I might have implied that he sounded like he was dying for three years before he drowned, but it’s not the same.

Fourth of July shootings.
Gun violence spiked over Fourth of July weekend, with shootings reported in nearly every U.S. state that killed a total of at least 220 people and wounded close to 570 others, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
The database, which collects information about fatalities and injuries linked to incidents involving discharged firearms, updated its records early Tuesday. Published tallies show the number of weekend shootings was almost equal to the number of resulting injuries, with well over 500 instances of shootings documented nationwide between Friday and Monday. There were only five states where one or more shootings were not reported in that time frame.

I didn’t make the meme but the author died so here’s what it means to me. Eating crayons, these days, won’t put you straight in a box but it’s bad for digestion and can cause stomach pain and intestinal pain. It is reasonable to say that it is bad for your health. One assumes that in the mind of a conspiracy theorist all of these news sources are lying to them about their favourite snack.

True enough, but that’s still no reason for proud British lion noises.
They have a looong way to go before they can even really claim to be a proper democracy.
Quite.
I mean shit… aren’t they at least embarrassed about having like 800 unelected goombahs in the House of Lords?

The HOL is an anachronism but it literally has no power to block legislation passed in the HOC.

Ask many Brits and they’ll tell you: “It’s one of the traditions that make us safer and stronger than the foreign democracies.”
They’ll say this about the House of Lords, the monarchy, the “established” religion.
As you say, embarrassing.

First past the post decouples the outcomes from changes in public sentiment, and the larger of the two houses of parliaments is completely unelected.

Doesn’t the HOC have the power to ignore the HOL and pass the disputed legislation anyway? I mean that was established with the Parliament Act of 1911 and further subsequent reforms in the decades that followed. Certainly the ability to delay bills is significant but 1 year is hardly an exercise in unchecked power.

Meh. Since there is no great clamouring for the abolishing of the HoL, nor any major party taking such a platform to a general election I can only conclude that yes the British people do want their local Anglican bishop to partipate in a house of review to check somewhat the unbridled power of the HoC in a country with no formal constituion. Surely the general concent of the population in their system of participatory government counts for something?

Well I did say intelligent, educated and wealthy which seems to exclude the people you are referring. Therefore they are not applicable to the example I gave and apart from wealth, seem to have as much in common with the uneducated and unworldly, but don’t let it worry you because it is not important and just an idle comment made to the discussion.

He liked a drink as much as most of us do, and no more than most of us do.

It was pretty awful. Seems to me that Jerry Lewis was making fun of retarded people, with little actual fun involved.
But Dean Martin was the superior talent. A pleasant crooner of his kind, when (or if) you’re in that kind of mood.

One of the more cringeworthy and downright embarrassing one these days would have to be the Pommy show, “Love Thy Neighbour”.
Apparently it still is shown in some places around the world, but with a warning before it starts, along the lines of ‘things were different back then’.

One of the more cringeworthy and downright embarrassing one these days would have to be the Pommy show, “Love Thy Neighbour”.
Apparently it still is shown in some places around the world, but with a warning before it starts, along the lines of ‘things were different back then’.
Heil Honey I’m Home only lasted one episode (the pilot, although eight were filmed and never screened).
>Heil Honey I’m Home! is a British sitcom, written by Geoff Atkinson and produced in 1990, which was cancelled after one episode. It centres on Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who live next door to a Jewish couple, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein. The show spoofs elements of mid-20th century American sitcoms and is driven by Hitler’s inability to get along with his neighbours. It caused controversy when broadcast and has been called “perhaps the world’s most tasteless situation comedy”.

On the buses was another. Most of those types of show were twerrible. and then you have the acme, should start a thread, of comedy in The Goons.

There was a young one borne

When he was good, he was very very good,

Wow — not only is this a really bad tattoo (looks like sharpie to be honest), but the middle character, “love” is upside down! So instead of saying “peace”, “love”, “loyalty”, it instead says something like “peace” “ǝʌol” “loyalty”. There’s no real way to tell if that was done intentionally or not, but it definitely slaps you in the face with its obviousness.

We did that on Thursday when we were burning off on a property near the road. Google maps registered 18 smartphones not moving and it showed up online.
I also did it a few years ago, on a lonely country road where Ms Kingy and I were the only humans for 5km, and stopped to check something out on the road verge. That showed up as a “traffic” jam on G Maps. :)

Huh? Irrespective of how competent they are MPs are elected to parliament to form government with the leader of the party with the most members becoming PM.
Since Boris is the worst person for the job, getting him to choose the best people for the job is not going to work.
Also worth pointing out that he did indeed choose all the people for the job, several times, including the current ones.

East Mountain West View Home Owners Association
On flag day only, TUESDAY JUNE 14TH, the board is allowing a special HOA flag to be flown from homes. The flag is 135 dollars and available only at the Security Gate. It is to be hung from a pole no longer than 2.75ft long at an angle of between 44 and 46 degrees to the ground. It can’t be flown at half mast, regardless of unpleasant news that may cause the government to request they be flown that way. The flag has a special meaning to the HOA. From left to right, we start with the freedom snake and the thin black line for Security. Next is the thin white line for freedom from local and state government. The blue line is for our local police. The 7 stars are for the 7 stars of our HOA, the Board, Security, block captains, golf course superintendent, clubhouse manager, undercover Security agents, and our lawyers. The red strips are for the fallen Security agents in the past, and the white stripes have a hidden meaning from the creator of the flag. In their 8am meeting Monday the Board will vote on if to make these required on flag day. Notice will be sent out if that is approved.

On flag day only, TUESDAY JUNE 14TH, the board is allowing a special HOA flag to be flown from homes. The flag is 135 dollars and available only at the Security Gate. It is to be hung from a pole no longer than 2.75ft long at an angle of between 44 and 46 degrees to the ground. It can’t be flown at half mast, regardless of unpleasant news that may cause the government to request they be flown that way. The flag has a special meaning to the HOA. From left to right, we start with the freedom snake and the thin black line for Security. Next is the thin white line for freedom from local and state government. The blue line is for our local police. The 7 stars are for the 7 stars of our HOA, the Board, Security, block captains, golf course superintendent, clubhouse manager, undercover Security agents, and our lawyers. The red strips are for the fallen Security agents in the past, and the white stripes have a hidden meaning from the creator of the flag.

“freedom snake”?
HOAs are usually a nasty bunch.
This one is quite benign as apparently it is from a satire page.
I was just going to say, the rule by state and local governments seems less onerous than the petty tyranny of the HOA.

One thing that has not had much coverage yet at the Jan 6 committees is what the hell happened with security? The oafkeepers were openly talking about their plans to enter the capitol building online: the FBI knew about it and alerted the Capitol Police. Where were the troops, where was the National Guard?
It did emerge that it was Mike Pence who ultimately summoned the Guard. Trump never made that call.

There’s plenty of mental health services for non-wealthy people.
Problem is that they’re flat out dealing with drug addicts.
There’s nowhere near enough dedicated and properly-staffed, -funded, -equipped addiction services, so an awful lot of addiction patients get foisted on the mental health services.
Yes, there’s often associated mental health issues, but it still means that mental health services are so flooded with addiction patients that there’s not a lot time/room for non-addict clients.

I’ll mention again the Malaysian night at the Navy’s old apprentice school, HMAS Nirimba, in Sydney.
Apprentices from the Malaysian navy trained there, and, once per class, they’d write home to mum for the recipe for the family-favourite dish. Then an organised shopping expedition for ingredients, and preparation with the help of the establishment’s cooks.
All set up for ‘Malaysian Night’, an invitation to which was much-coveted. Dishes of all sorts, all ‘genuine Malaysian home cooking’, all pretty damn good.
And, there was the ‘hot’ table, where all the really spicy dishes were. And Malaysians make some that would startle most Indians. The table was set apart, signposted ‘Hot (Very Spicy) Dishes’ or similar, and even had a ‘sentry’ posted who would warn people that ‘when we say “hot”, we really mean “hot” and maybe try just a little at first ‘.
Having been informed, you were on your own, and good luck to you (plenty bananas on hand for mouth relief).

I can manage moderately hot, Mr buffy can go hotter. I can only manage “low level” in Thai dishes. Moderate level in Sichuan – two chili level at China Chili in Chinatown in Melbourne. Indian depends on the cook. It seems to be a bit variable.
My favourite at China Chili is this lamb dish. Although I’ve now worked out how to mix the xinjiang spice mix and can do it for myself and control the heat.

At Streatham, on the Glenelg Highway between Ballarat and Hamilton, there is a Fireworld Streatham CFA museum.. If you know the history, it’s amusing. Streatham was nearly wiped out, the whole town, in a bushfire in 1977. It’s built next to Fiery Creek.

From Facepalm.East Mountain West View Home Owners Association
On flag day only, TUESDAY JUNE 14TH, the board is allowing a special HOA flag to be flown from homes. The flag is 135 dollars and available only at the Security Gate. It is to be hung from a pole no longer than 2.75ft long at an angle of between 44 and 46 degrees to the ground. It can’t be flown at half mast, regardless of unpleasant news that may cause the government to request they be flown that way. The flag has a special meaning to the HOA. From left to right, we start with the freedom snake and the thin black line for Security. Next is the thin white line for freedom from local and state government. The blue line is for our local police. The 7 stars are for the 7 stars of our HOA, the Board, Security, block captains, golf course superintendent, clubhouse manager, undercover Security agents, and our lawyers. The red strips are for the fallen Security agents in the past, and the white stripes have a hidden meaning from the creator of the flag. In their 8am meeting Monday the Board will vote on if to make these required on flag day. Notice will be sent out if that is approved.

The Gadsden snake doesn’t appear on the flag of Texas (which is a simple red white and blue number).
The Gadsden flag was used in the American revolutionary war (a long time before Texas was part of the USA).

A mate was a passenger in a car that did similar but managed to get out of the car with no worries. Ambo’s on scene found out he’d breathed in a bit of water and strongly insisted he go to the hospital, despite him being in 100% health. He apparently almost didn’t survive the night.

The chemtrails conspiracy is part of something known as “black propaganda”
In WW2 the BBC created a fake radio station that broadcast into Germany/ occupied territories.
The programmes consisted of virulent anti semitism and all the pet hates of the nazis – mixed in were patently fake news stories about the nazis living it up big whilst the population suffered.
The whole point of fake conspiracy is to discredit real conspiracy. I don’t tend to take much notice of the UFO thing / moon landings ( though the moon landing conspiracies are absolute masterpieces).
Conspiracies such as 7/7 the London bombings are backed up by FACTS , the guy doing the research points out that most of not ALL the CCTV in all the buses, trains, stations on that day were switched off and by british rail data – the terrorists could never have made the connections to other trains/ buses because the initial train they caught was LATE. All the CCTV on the route of Princess Diana’s route were switched off – its why the last picture of Diana was the CCTV of the hotel. Eye witnesses found Diana still very much alive – she was driven around in an ambulance till she died. In 911 many witnesses claim that explosions were still going off as they left the tower – building collapsed in a neat pile – buildings dont do this in real life unless it’s a controlled demolition.

Watching two youtube videos does not make you an expert on anything. You are really losing the plot here. The whole point of science is to find facts, and this is a forum of people who do require some actual references to something credible, but you just continue to ramble on about obvious bunk as if it is real, and will not provide any evidence.

In 911 many witnesses claim that explosions were still going off as they left the tower – building collapsed in a neat pile – buildings dont do this in real life unless it’s a controlled demolition.
Watching two youtube videos does not make you an expert on anything. You are really losing the plot here. The whole point of science is to find facts, and this is a forum of people who do require some actual references to something credible, but you just continue to ramble on about obvious bunk as if it is real, and will not provide any evidence. It makes you look like a loony.

The chemtrails conspiracy is part of something known as “black propaganda”In WW2 the BBC created a fake radio station that broadcast into Germany/ occupied territories.
The programmes consisted of virulent anti semitism and all the pet hates of the nazis – mixed in were patently fake news stories about the nazis living it up big whilst the population suffered.
The whole point of fake conspiracy is to discredit real conspiracy. I don’t tend to take much notice of the UFO thing / moon landings ( though the moon landing conspiracies are absolute masterpieces).
Conspiracies such as 7/7 the London bombings are backed up by FACTS , the guy doing the research points out that most of not ALL the CCTV in all the buses, trains, stations on that day were switched off and by british rail data – the terrorists could never have made the connections to other trains/ buses because the initial train they caught was LATE.

It’s important to question the premise, not attack the person. I’m sure that Wookie is a nice guy to chat to in real life, but I’m not going to just accept his spurious claims without questioning them. Deciding whether or not Wookie is actually a loonie is above my pay range, but one thing he is good at is making us question it.

It is one of four national flags among UN member states that features a firearm, along with those of Mozambique, Haiti and Bolivia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Guatemala
Symbolism
The elements of the coat of arms have the following symbolism:
The Resplendent quetzal is the national bird of Guatemala, and represents freedom and independence of the nation.
The crossed Remington rifles are the type used during the 1871 Liberal Revolution, and represent the will to defend Guatemala’s interests.
The crossed swords represent justice and honor.
The laurel wreath represents victory.
The parchment at the center reads “Liberty 15 of September of 1821”, the date Guatemala gained independence from Spain.
I didn’t know any of that.
Is why I searched.

Looks fairly straight forward: From Middle English forlorn, forloren, from Old English forloren (past participle of forlēosan (“to lose”)), from Proto-Germanic *fraluzanaz (“lost”), past participle of Proto-Germanic *fraleusaną (“to lose”), equivalent to for- + lorn.
Yep.
mid-12c., forloren “disgraced, depraved,” past participle of obsolete forlesan “be deprived of, lose, abandon,” from Old English forleosan “to lose, abandon, let go; destroy, ruin,” from for- “completely” + leosan “to lose” (from Proto-Germanic *lausa-, from PIE root *leu- “to loosen, divide, cut apart”). In the Mercian hymns, Latin perditionis is glossed by Old English forlorenisse. OED’s examples of forlese end in 17c., but the past participle persisted. Sense of “forsaken, abandoned” is 1530s; that of “wretched, miserable” first recorded 1580s.
A common Germanic compound (cognates: Old Saxon farilosan, Old Frisian urliasa, Middle Dutch verliesen, Dutch verliezen, Old High German virliosan, German verlieren, Gothic fraliusan “to lose”).
In English now often in forlorn hope (1570s), which is a partial translation of Dutch verloren hoop, in which hoop means “troop, band,” literally “heap,” and the sense of the whole phrase is of a suicide mission. The phrase more often than not is used in English as if it meant “a faint hope,” and the misuse has colored the meaning of forlorn. Related: Forlornly; forlornness.

I don’t see your point. Having straight access roads is an advantage for reducing travel distances compared to the circuitous roads that would be required in a hex packed system.

The real reason is quite simple – The Saudi’s have very large very empty chunks of land, there’s no need to use farm land as efficiently as possible.

Imagine a grid pattern suburb. If you want to get to any random point within the suburb, it is all North and South directions. With hexagon shaped blocks, on average 1/3 of the journey will be cutting along the hypotenuse.

No.
Here are circles in square and hexagonal packing.
You can see that you can put straight roads between the circles on the left, but any roads between the circles on the left have to be curved.

But they did have real boat, a 72-foot type II Vosper MTB (Motor Torpedo Boat) a British design built near the end of WW2 under license in the U.S. for export to Russia. The war ended in August 1945 before the boat, the real number of which was PT-694, could be sent to the Soviet Union. The boat was then purchased by Howard Hughes and used as a chase boat for the one and only flight of his Spruce Goose aircraft. The boat was then sold to the studio, and slightly modified to resemble a Higgins-design boat.
“PT-73” was later sold to the mayor of Hawthorne, California, and was converted to a sport fishing boat. It was later destroyed when it broke loose of its mooring near Santa Barbara and washed up on the beach during a storm.

No, that was a sound stage construction with back projection. Better suited to production budgets, and not subject to the vagaries of weather and sea.

E.g. the meme is accurate in showing asparagus grows out of the ground like that, but shows them more neatly clumped together than you’d be likely to see irl.

In some ways, yes, it is.
But, it has a purpose in that it gives you an occasion to examine your conscience, and sort out those things with which you’re not comfortable, perhaps acknowledge that you’ve done wrong (or, at least, could have done better), and if there’s things that makes you really unhappy, you can talk about them with someone who is absolutely sworn to secrecy. It’s a form of psychotherapy, the only one there was until the late 19th century.
There’s no suggestion at any point that anyone who you may have ‘wronged’ has forgiven you, or that they should. Or that you should forgive yourself just because you brought it up in confession.
What it does say that, if you’re truly repentant for what you feel is your sin, then God will forgive you, if that fits in with your beliefs.
The rest is back to you. If you can and want take it further to fix things up that bother you about your ‘sin(s)’ then that’s up to you to sort out with other people and with yourself.
It’s sort of like the first step in AA’s 12 Steps. If it’s something you feel you need to go to confession about, then it’s rather like admitting that you have a problem. You want to settle it further – it’s up to you.

Maybe Dan Andrews should call a press conference.
“Now, you may have seen a post on the internet today from Cooker Central about what this government plans to do regarding new and more stringent COVID regulations.
Well, i don’t know where the leak came from, but, yes, that got it 100% correct. Everything they said. That’s precisely the programme.’
(Pauses, shuffles some papers, coughs, look directly at camera.)
‘HA HA FOOLED YERS!
Had ya goin’ there didn’t i?!
As if those f***wits know shit from shoe polish. Cripes, they say ‘you can’t make this up’, and sure as hell, those dickheads can’t even make-up lies that halfway decent.
Now, as for what the actual programme is….’

Dennis: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Arthur: Be quiet!

Ah. I didn’t remember that scene. But then I haven’t seen that movie for a very long time. Possibly forty years.

Funny thing about D boys is that they were originally meant to be . In their original story they couldn’t leave the paths in the city that powered them by static electricity, and per the authors were meant to portray that isolationism and xenophobia lead to degeneration. They were able to disable one by getting him to drive only a cardigan and rip his lid off. Unforch it turned out they were such a popular critter that they had to expand their abilities in the classic era, make them able to swim and pop and out of the sand and travel over terrain and even fly eventually.

it’s fucking nuts is what it is, in recent years we browsed a macroeconomics textbook and the genius was clear
we ended up telling people how you see, they tried to link unemployment with inflation, they claimed decades ago that there was pure inverse proportionality, then when bullshit happened they started claiming unemployment was inverse to the derivative of inflation, then they put out some charts like those above
one hundred percent stupid
given the lack of validity of the existing turds we may as well advance a competing theory that index prices are actually determined by oversupply or lack thereof
The latest photo that people are supposed to laugh at.
But it’s a real thing as EV’s have a gearbox/differential like any regular car has and they use an oil filter to help the oil stay cleaner for longer.

We had a sign in the kitchen at work which said ‘even children can clean up after themselves’.
To which someone had added ‘until they’ve been to medical school’.

He’s pretty weird-looking. Always looks like he just woke up under a bridge surrounded by empty cheap sherry bottles.
