No issue or an issue as a white Jesus is unlikely but mermaids can be any colour really as they are made up (Jesus could be as well but is claimed as Jewish)

After just nine months on the show, Redfern was asked by Liberace to tour with him in the US. He later released four studio albums and was crowned the King of Pop at the TV Week King of Pop Awards for 1974. These days, Redfern lives in Melbourne with his two kids, with whom he shares with his ex-wife

I recall watching Captain Matchbox at Sunbury 1973. Sunday morning.
Was a big fan of their style.
The inside of a Hopf violin built around 1880. Unusually this instrument is completely free of repairs and is in its original condition. It is likely that this photograph is the first time anyone has seen the inside of the violin since it was built.
Photographed with a Lumix S1R and a specially modified probe lens designed to fit through the button hole at the base of the instrument.

Eventually, she was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism. In one of her first speeches demanding climate action, Thunberg described the selective mutism aspect of her condition as meaning she “only speaks when necessary”

David Bowen’s installation, ‘Plant Machete,’ enables a living plant to move a machete through an industrial robot‘s bionic-like arm. The installation implements a control system that measures electrical noises found in the living philodendron. This system uses an open source micro-controller connected to the plant, which reads varying resistance signals across the its leaves.
The machine’s movements are accomplished by using a custom technology that translates electrical signals from the plant into real-time motion. Embedded patch sensors pick up electric signals from the leaves and transmit them to the machine that contains several joints that determine how the machete swings, jabs, slices, and interacts in space.

None of those are terribly new. They’re AKM rifles which were replaced in ‘front-line’ service in the Russian army by the AKS-74 in 1977.
That said, they’re Kalashnikovs, and have some improvements over the original AK-47. And being Kalashnikovs, they’re as rugged as the day is long. Loose tolerances and simple mechanism mean that they’ll keep firing with little maintenance and in conditions of dirt, mud, wet and grit that would stop many other weapons. They’re easy to maintain, and use the old Russian 7.62 × 39mm cartridge, which means they have some whack in them.
But, as they’re Kalashnikovs, they are no snipers’ rifles. Not the most accurate, they’re basically bullet hoses. Damn few AKM marksmen.

They can try to make savings elsewhere. Improve compliance, crack down on evasion, nibble away at some extravagant deductions, do something about offshoring of gains.

They can try to make savings elsewhere. Improve compliance, crack down on evasion, nibble away at some extravagant deductions, do something about offshoring of gains.
They should just rejig it and spend it all on tax offsets for low and median incomes. Can’t be accused of reneging on pledges when they gave that amount in tax breaks anyway.

I mean the meeja didn’t refrain from accusing julia of bringing in a carbon tax, even though it was combined with tax breaks that left most people better off.

I also understand the bit that albanese is not allowed one thing wrong.It amazes me how many breaks Scomo got but albanese won’t get one.
What about continuing with tax cuts but then bringing in a flagfall tax for companies with ultra large revenues. So that those companies that make huge profits pay some tax.

They could quite justifiably postpone it, on the grounds of the war in Ukraine, post-Covid supply issues, and the floods being a bit of an economic drain on the country. Then they could at least counterclaim that they are responsible economic managers.

And I’m not saying that it’s definitely the only way. Albo certainly does have the option of changing the policy, making a case for it and hoping that the Tealies will back him v Dutton in 2025.

When i worked for a shire council, we’d get lots of calls about potholes and other road defects.
I can’t say it’s the same everywhere, but most of the complaints we got were about ‘State-maintained’ roads. These are main/arterial roads, the maintenance of which is the responsibility of Qld Transport.
Some Councils may be contracted by QT to look after those roads, but ours was not. Council was not allowed to touch those roads.
Spent quite a bit of time explaining this to residents, and pointing them to where they really ought to lodge their complaints.

Our local council will not respond to any individual request. but if they receive three complaints they act on it. So if there are potholes on either side of the bridge we pass the word around and ring them en masse.

ABC News:
‘Star Casino set to be fined $100 million after damning report into its operations
The fine comes after Star Entertainment last month accepted the findings of the NSW Independent Casino Commission, which found it unsuitable to hold a licence for its Sydney casino.’
I suggest two likely outcomes of this:
1. Somehow, taxpayers will end up with the bill
2. Star Entertainment will still be running the casino from now until whenever it wants to not run it.

We are building a religion
We are building it bigger
We are widening the corridors
And adding more lanes
The area between these two is called the perineum.

A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. It need no living host and can remain dormant indefinitely and resurface, usually mutated, to have a second life.

Which generation Punch cards?
There is no single answer to what their capacity is, each one can hold as much data as its punch is built to encode per card.
some were fixed at 8 × 12 or 8 × 26… plus
one of the first single punch cards could store 80 bytes of information.

Was there a reason why it had to go into the lava in Mt Doom?
Couldn’t they have just got themselves a nice big cauldron of e.g. molten lead, chucked the ring in there, stirred the pot for a while, let it cool, and then take the thing out to sea and doosh! over the side with it?

It could only be melted-down in the lava of Mt Doom.

Back in the middleish-1970s, ‘The Hobbit’ was recommended to me as a fantastic read. ‘It was started as a childrens’ story’, i was told, ‘but it grew into something much more than that’.
I think i made it two-thirds or three-quarters the way through the first chapter, decided that it was not worth the time, and discarded Tolkien altogether.

The electricity map at least shows the top left corner of Wales as a lower map.
The lower map certainly doesn’t correspond with what I remember of English history taught in school.

Interesting question.
The Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284 effectively made Wales a vassal or colony of England but it was not until Laws of Wales Act 1535 that Wales was truly annexed.

It’s more that the rear suspension is built to work adequately with a full load in the tray, so when running around empty the rear is spring far too stiffly and can be very tricky in the wet. You typically want the softest suspension you can use in the vast majority of cases.

I had a Mazda 1 tonner B1600. Great little light truck. In first gear you could get out and walk beside it. Had an extra leaf spring that the B1800 didn’t have. So I could chuck more than a tonne in and it still could do the ton as well. Bastard on corrugated roads. It would pig root like fuck and the arse end would come around up front. It couldn’t swim very well. Didn’t like the mud. Filled it full of elephant shit when they used to have circuses. Had to empty all the shit out to move it again.

I’ve got quite rusty with verbs in French, and i’ve been reviewing them and their conjugations over the last few days.

Those forgotten aspects. My Latin is restricted mainly to taxonomical descriptions, though through reading, I’ve picked up a little.

Magic is not able to be falsified, defies the laws of thermodynamics and energy conservation, has no rational basis for existence and so does not exist.
A non-existent methodology cannot score points, so its score is always 0.

Even a score of 0 is still a score therefore magic is real.

Dunno. A foot of precipitation in a day here, now that would speak of a magic almost previously unheard of. Though I did record 11 inches in one day, once in my life.

Firstly, you presume that you’re already facing north.
If you have any doubts, turn around 180 deg, and presto!, you’re facing north.
