Again. Another fantasy tale.
Again, it’s different here (ie better) but in the US Netflix basically have a standing gig for a monthly comedy special in the “old man yells at pronouns” category, it’s an easy paycheck I guess but the lack of imagination is saddening. It’s just the same old Fox News boomer jokes over and over.

“old man yells at pronouns”
The great majority of critics of the pronoun woo are women. Men generally realise that being entitled to pass as women on their own say-so is not a privilege that disadvantages men.
As for comedy, transgender ideology is inherently absurd and richly deserving of having its piss taken :)

And we are getting hammered, each week I speak to friends in the US another trans person of colour killed sometimes more, and 1 in 3 women will live with domestic violence in their lifetime. Australia has so many ways of collating deaths that we don’t know the real number of women killed each week.

When we were in one of the African game reserves years ago our guise told us to get out of the car. We demurred so he got out to prove it was safe.
We then got out only to be told that leopards only like white meat. Bastard.

>Is it fair to ridicule Elon Musk?
Ridiculing someone can be hurtful and harmful, and it is important to treat others with respect and kindness. It is not fair to ridicule someone simply because of their beliefs, actions, or circumstances. However, it is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and has flaws, and it is natural for people to make mistakes or have different opinions. It is okay to engage in respectful and constructive criticism of someone’s ideas or actions, but it is not okay to belittle or mock them. It is important to be mindful of the impact of our words and actions on others and to strive to be kind and respectful in our interactions with others.

Wouldn’t want to be busting.
Don’t forget the absurdity known as imprinting:
“The remedy. When time is of the essence and you want to take a remedy at once for an existing symptom, you can create a remedy at home by information transference or imprinting. I will select a remedy and its potency and I will send you that information so that you can prepare it at home. The remedy works as well as any other remedy I send you.
There are two ways to do this:
Paper remedy. Write the remedy name and potency on a piece of paper, exactly as it is written above, fold and carry in a pocket or on your person. That gives you a constant exposure to the remedy. To stop its action, take it off and leave somewhere else.
Liquid remedy. If you want to take it orally, then place a cup of water on top of the paper with the remedy name and potency written on it exactly as I wrote them down. Or write it on a label and affix it on a dropper bottle or other container. In 3 hrs the remedy will be imprinted into the water. The contents will be full strength and the equivalent to getting a dropper bottle from me.”

They are sending weapons but recording it as a loan to Ukraine. Whether Ukraine will have to repay it or not at some future stage I don’t know.

Yes so its not like they are sending actual money that people miss out on.
The weapons already exist, have mostly been paid for and in actual fact are being tested in the conditions they were designed for so help inform how the next generation should be developed

And it is also the stuff they had sitting around in the back of the warehouse.
I read somewhere that they have put more wear and tear on some of the artillery hardware in 3 months than the US have done in 10 years. Definitely good RnD.

I believe that the current gear is in fact, donations. I am unsure if the lend-lease has kicked off yet.

I saw somewhere that a lot of the ammo in the warehouses have expiry dates and would likely have to be disposed of and recycled. Giving it to Ukraine to use on the battlefield is a cost saving in terms of disposal.

But I think 2 would be monetisable if you could get unlimited amounts of gravel and it could be delivered wherever you say.
Even 7 would be a useful skill in the shipping industry, allowing easy inspection for internal fractures.

I could actually get really excited about number two. I wish I could afforda few gravel deliveries. Stephen has done a great job cutting out all the bumps and holes in my drive but a few inches of gravel on top would be triff. he also opened up the drain alongside the driveway but getting some gravel into that would be okay too. the french drain around the back of the house could use more gravel. and I have a pile of clean bricks that i would like to turn into a small courtyard and would do so if I had some fine gravel. Any tonnage of leftover gravel could go on the road into the bottom paddock or the going out to the back paddock. and then I could be magnaminous and throw more gravel at tiers rd. Gravel would be like winning the lottery.
The rest of it doesn’t excite me too much. Minor teleportation maybe. could I have more gravel instead?

The lamb out here is pretty good. But I’ve never eaten Scottish lamb, I suppose. We’ve got lamb pie for tea tonight. Somehow when we were at the bakery before Christmas it jumped into my basket with the loaf of bread. So as Mr buffy is cook tonight, he says he is making lamb pie. I did correct him – as I paid for it, technically I get to claim to have made it…

Andrew tate is a dickwad misogynist who may or may not be involved in trafficking and sexploitation… he made a tweet to greta about how many cars he has any how bad they are for the environment and asked for an email address so he could email the whole list. GT send back a tweet which essentially said here is my email “smalldickenergy@getalife.com.” and then Tate was arrested on unrelated (to the tweet) charges

And apparently the pizza box that he was eating pizza may or may not have helped the authorities to locate him. So the jokes started on Pizzagate and the child rapist allegations against Clinton and the Democrats – and it went viral.

he says he is not misogynistic, that he tries to boost women up, but then he also says that women who are in their teens are better sexual partners because they haven’t been used (I’m paraphrasing) and that women who are raped or sexually assaulted should hold some of the responsibility…

Last month, Tate generated more Google searches than Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian combined. – This happens when you purchase troll farms in some countries it’s the only paid working going. Also bots can get you great exposure. I was in a twitter thread yesterday with a lot of replies and as I went through I found one other actual person who had answered and the rest were all paid trolls or bots. They are getting harder to spot.

A variant of steak tartare is also present in Danish smørrebrød, where it is served on rugbrød (rye bread) with assorted toppings.
In Sweden, steak tartare, råbiff, is usually served with raw egg yolk, raw onions, diced pickled beetroot, and capers. In Finland, tartarpihvi is served with raw egg yolk, raw onions, pickled and salted cucumbers, and capers.

By spreading malaria, mosquitos kill hundreds of thousands more people than sharks do every year. Deer also cause hundreds of deaths, mostly by running out in front of cars.

By spreading malaria, mosquitos kill hundreds of thousands more people than sharks do every year. Deer also cause hundreds of deaths, mostly by running out in front of cars.

especially in a first floor flat;
I think a second floor could be safer, as cows don’t levitate they can’t look menacingly through your window.

I didn’t realise they operated as a herd in the killing.
there is a story about a Scottish lord that was given a bear cub by a Canadian. While it was a cub it roamed the grounds and seemed docile enough. one day it got into a field with a bunch coos and the coos killed it.
Even though it is centuries since bears predated on cows in the brtish isles there seemed to be some race memory at work.

The article dv linked says:
“Aspects of this new fossil, relating to the arrangement and concentration of the bones in the deposit, the mix of animals, and the chemistry of the bones and matrix, suggested that the pile of bones was regurgitated out by a predator,” Utah State Parks said in a statement on Tuesday.

Might you, even the most ardent herbivores will go for some meat sometimes. Even deer will sometimes scavenge from carcasses.

Anyway …
The researchers worked out that a bowfin fish most did the vomiting. It’s possible the ancient fish upchucked to distract a predator. Utah State Parks noted the paleontologists jokingly referred to the fossil find as the “fish-puked tadpole.”

For some reason that brought the song “Eve of Destruction” into my head, and I realised that I couldn’t name who wrote it, or even the name of the guy singing it so clearly in my head. Also it is very rarely played these days, or even mentioned.
So for the benefit of all you youngsters out there who have never heard of it, read all about:
I see from that that “The song is played in its entirety in the Italian film Rose Island from 2020.”

Crash Site, the debut graphic novel from British cartoonist Nathan Cowdry, is the story of Rosie, a young drug trafficker who uses her lovelorn talking dog, Denton, to mule drugs across international lines. When Rosie and Denton’s return flight to England goes down and they find themselves stranded in the Amazon basin (with fifty grand worth of coke in Denton’s stomach), well, getting busted becomes the least of their concerns as they try to find their way out. Did we mention that Rosie is also wearing a pair of anthropomorphic underwear she calls Pants Dude, and that he may have other plans for her and Denton?

SCIENCE said:
what is language
Language is a structured system of communication that comprises of both, grammar and vocabulary. It is the primary means by which humans convey meaning, both in spoken and written forms, and may also be conveyed through sign languages. The vast majority of human languages have developed writing systems that allow for the recording and preservation of the sounds or signs of language. Human language is characterized by its cultural and historical diversity, with significant variations observed between cultures and across time. Human languages possess the properties of productivity and displacement, which enable the creation of an infinite number of sentences, and the ability to refer to objects, events, and ideas that are not immediately present in the discourse. The use of human language relies on social convention and is acquired through learning.

Don’t believe everything you read about ‘the Japanese love of nature’.
They’re terrified of it, and find it awfully inconvenient.
Almost every Japanese river now runs through concrete channels. Almost all the coast is layered with concrete tetrahedrons.
Tokyo residents complained that trees blocked the sunlight, shed too many leaves, and obscured road signs. The city cut some down, and keeps the rest cut back to virtual stumps.
Any tree branches that overhang roads have to be cut off, and that’s ruthlessly enforced via hack jobs with chainsaws.

Can confirm.
When I was flying out of Fiji in the late 90’s, one of the destinations was Narita. There was a fantastic hardware shop (the Joyful Honda Hardware shop) near there and the hotel let you use bicycles to get around on, so I’d often rude there just to look at the gear they had. The shortest route was through a small forest, which with a superficial look seemed quite lovely. But on a slow bicycle on the side of the road, it was upsetting to see that from the side of the road to a metre or two away had quite a lot of rubbish thrown from cars on it.

There has to be some financial benefit otherwise they would not be spending so much money on incurring the wrath of those opposed to the practice.

There has to be some financial benefit otherwise they would not be spending so much money on incurring the wrath of those opposed to the practice.
Industry in Japan is a complicated and time-honoured network of ‘you scratch my back and i’ll scratch yours’ arrangements. The government backs and subsidises industries in return for those industries providing a stable economic foundation for the country. There is no way that the Japanese government would let any significant industrial concern go bung, and this extends even to the accepted (if not officially acknowledged) practice of companies keeping two sets of books, only one set of which is ever presented to the government.
The government lets contracts for government work like construction and research to firms with which it has close ties, usually without any competitive bidding. A complex system of gifts and tokens of respect allows government officials to receive valuable considerations in return, which would be considered bribery in other place, but in Japan is just how business is done.
It’s also a very well accepted practice for people who work for a particular government ministry or department to take up lucrative (and usually not too demanding) positions with the very firms that their ministry/dept is meant to provide oversight and compliance monitoring. While this might be scandalous in other countries, it’s seen as perfectly ok in Japan.
The Japanese government subsidises the whaling industry by ¥ 5 billion ($AUS 56 million) per year. It’s a phenomenon of Japanese economics that once a subsidy is put in place, it is never terminated, nor is it ever reduced. The whaling subsidy exists, and will continue to exist, and it requires a whaling industry to receive that subsidy.
And there is something in the Japanese psyche about how this is what we do, it’s what we’ve always done in one way or another, so we’ll keep on doing it. Add to that the equally-deeply embedded notions of ‘going out to sea’ and of slaying the monster that nature has created, and the idea of continuing to hunt whales is awfully hard for them to shake.

To be honest, they’re pretty much beyond help even from themselves.
Japanese business philosophy and practices, and government ideas on the industrial economy and its management, seem to have petrified somewhere around 1964 or 1965, and since then absolutely no-one has dared to hint at rocking the boat at all.
So they have a set of conditions which lead to waste, over-spending, unnecessary public works, and lack of original policies which in many ways don’t suit their current day needs, but which everyone is absolutely shit-scared of changing for fear of making a mistake.

The risk aversion of our society (and every other society I know anything about) is way too low.

There has to be some financial benefit otherwise they would not be spending so much money on incurring the wrath of those opposed to the practice.
Industry in Japan is a complicated and time-honoured network of ‘you scratch my back and i’ll scratch yours’ arrangements. The government backs and subsidises industries in return for those industries providing a stable economic foundation for the country. There is no way that the Japanese government would let any significant industrial concern go bung, and this extends even to the accepted (if not officially acknowledged) practice of companies keeping two sets of books, only one set of which is ever presented to the government.
The government lets contracts for government work like construction and research to firms with which it has close ties, usually without any competitive bidding. A complex system of gifts and tokens of respect allows government officials to receive valuable considerations in return, which would be considered bribery in other place, but in Japan is just how business is done.
It’s also a very well accepted practice for people who work for a particular government ministry or department to take up lucrative (and usually not too demanding) positions with the very firms that their ministry/dept is meant to provide oversight and compliance monitoring. While this might be scandalous in other countries, it’s seen as perfectly ok in Japan.
The Japanese government subsidises the whaling industry by ¥ 5 billion ($AUS 56 million) per year. It’s a phenomenon of Japanese economics that once a subsidy is put in place, it is never terminated, nor is it ever reduced. The whaling subsidy exists, and will continue to exist, and it requires a whaling industry to receive that subsidy.
And there is something in the Japanese psyche about how this is what we do, it’s what we’ve always done in one way or another, so we’ll keep on doing it. Add to that the equally-deeply embedded notions of ‘going out to sea’ and of slaying the monster that nature has created, and the idea of continuing to hunt whales is awfully hard for them to shake.
Whilst the Norwegians just take pride in being cunts about it.

To be honest, they’re pretty much beyond help even from themselves.
Japanese business philosophy and practices, and government ideas on the industrial economy and its management, seem to have petrified somewhere around 1964 or 1965, and since then absolutely no-one has dared to hint at rocking the boat at all.
So they have a set of conditions which lead to waste, over-spending, unnecessary public works, and lack of original policies which in many ways don’t suit their current day needs, but which everyone is absolutely shit-scared of changing for fear of making a mistake.
While this is certainly true, it’s not just limited to Japan. There’s an enormous amount of symbolic activity and wasted time in Australian business practice.

I reckon that 95% of ‘meetings’ are purely symbolic.
And 100% of those that go on longer than 30 minutes.
During WW2, the Supreme Headquarters of Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) in England had a rule where at the end of every meeting, the question ‘does this committee need to convene again?’ was put to a vote, to stop unnecessary meeting taking place just because they had previously occurred.
I suggest that meeting rooms have no furniture. No sitting down, take notes using clipboards. Bookings for 30 mins maximum. Try to overstay, and the lights go off, strobe lights begin to flash, and loud marching band music begins to play.

It really is! I laugh so much folks are so used to it. I have a Muslim friend who worked in parliament house and she used to laugh so much that when Julia Gillard used have interviews they would come and ask her to close her door and refrain from laughing.

I read somewhere that you can’t register a vehicle if it’s over 5 years old or has done over 100,000km. At that point, the car is crushed and you buy a new one.
Don’t know if that’s still the case, but it keeps the factories churning.

The cost of owning a car in Japan, either old or new, is pretty much the same. In fact, the purchase cost of used cars will be lesser than the new ones.
A few years ago, there was a law requiring cars older than 10 years to pass an inspection test other than shaken. That law is valid no more. The only extra cost that you have to bear is a 10% extra fee on the annual taxes for cars older than 13 years.

She excels at 8 year old stupidity, her vanity and narcissism are still growing way beyond their normal limits.
She craves attention for existing all day every day, this is non stop with this one.
Also If she was in the Movie Ground Hog Day for self improvement she would never leave it, being stuck in it for ever.
It took Bill Murray playing Phil Connors 33 years and 350 days of “self improvement” to leave it.

Were the bushfires started by a barbecue? I hadn’t been aware of that.
Was it a ‘traditional’ BBQ, or a vegetarian/vegan one?

Were the bushfires started by a barbecue? I hadn’t been aware of that.
Was it a ‘traditional’ BBQ, or a vegetarian/vegan one?
we meant bushfires are pretty much a big barbecue but yeah plenty of vegetables and meat get fired up

Still, it does seem just a little over the top.

Air shorts: During the 1970s there was a craze for huge inflatable shorts. The idea was simple: wearing them would help us sweat off unwanted body fat while giving a unique massage through trapped air pockets. One size fits all. These sold for $6.95. More photos that depict the fashion of 1970s.

I suppose that they could have used some of the air in their heads to inflate those.

The Navy has a rule: the one in charge of the vessel is the one in charge of the vessel.
If the captain says we go to sea, we go to sea, even if we think the conditions aren’t favourable.
If the coxswain of the boat from ship to shore says that the conditions are too rough, and he/she is turning back to the ship, then that’s what happens. Doesn’t matter if there’s a full admiral seated in the boat, the coxswain (able seaman, leading seaman, whatever) is the one who calls the shots.

FWIW the airline Captain has absolute authority over the aircraft and everything in it. No matter if the president/prime minister/etc is on it, the Captain has full authority over them. The Captain is typically empowered to do anything they please, but if it’s a fraction of a hair outside the standard operating procedures & company policy, you then have to ‘have tea & biscuits’ with the Chief Pilot & perhaps other senior staff. If you can justify what you did then all okay, if not, you’re looking for another job and most likely in a different country.
All that being said, there are conditions, again spelled out in the SOP’s & company policies, where the First Officer can make it very clear to the Captain that they are doing something outside those rules. The phrase used, in a very firm and loud voice, “CAPTAIN YOU MUST LISTEN”. That fortunately very rarely gets used and if so it’s automatic tea & bickie time again.

There is video out showing the lead up to the arrest. It was basically a stage managed event and she was getting her photo taken with the arresting officers before the “arrest” was made.

My understanding is the video in question shows Thurnberg and the police officers waiting outside a tent that the cops were using to process the protestors after they had detained them. If there’s another video of the lead up to detainment demonstrating that this was stage managed can you provide a link please?

I do like that their prospective PM has the built in nickname of ‘Chipkins’.

That’s very true but doesn’t really affect the point does it? Maggie is already a baby when Bob goes to Italy, yet the child he conceives there is older than her.
but maybe she has developmental issues because of it.

If you are going to redrum someone just to get an extra 1/3 of an apple you might as well ignore the rules and use two stokes of the knife.
Then the apple shares will be equal even if the apples have different sizes.

3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’ ”

Bike 8 was stolen from a station cycle rack, where I had parked it directly beneath a camera. This time, I thought, we have them. Triumphantly I went to the police. “Look!” I said. “You will be able to see them.” They refused to look at the footage unless I could narrow it down to a window shorter than a few hours. This is, I discovered, a common response.
Afterwards I found a chatroom thread among Cambridge computer scientists, one of whom had also been told that unless he could pin down the moment of theft no one would look at the footage. He said he had tried to explain sorting algorithms to police — he was a computer scientist, after all.
You don’t watch the whole thing, he said. You use a binary search. You fast forward to halfway, see if the bike is there and, if it is, zoom to three quarters of the way through. But if it wasn’t there at the halfway mark, you rewind to a quarter of the way through. It’s very quick. In fact, he had pointed out, if the CCTV footage stretched back to the dawn of humanity it would probably have only taken an hour to find the moment of theft. This argument didn’t go down well.
I made a (slightly more diplomatic) nuisance of myself and they eventually looked at the footage. The policewoman I dealt with was lovely about it, but in the end the image wasn’t clear. Maybe they were right not to bother.

I ain’t no computer scientist, but i suggest that the ‘binary search’ was sorting the video into ‘windows’, each of which was progressively 50% the length of the previous one, and then when that had produced a window of practical length, it was searched by viewing the whole of that window.

Some redundancies yes
It seems though that many job loses aren’t due to too many workers but cost cutting to increase profits (they already make a profit just not enough to satisfy them) and others pick up the slack and its too bad if you complain you’ll get fired too.

It seems though that many job loses aren’t due to too many workers but cost cutting to increase profits (they already make a profit just not enough to satisfy them) and others pick up the slack and its too bad if you complain you’ll get fired too.
No one complains when the economic cycle creates jobs.
Employers do.
Employees who don’t like their jobs/conditions/employers have more choice about where they work, and the ‘poor quality’ employers can’t get people to take their crappy jobs, and then those same employers complain that ‘no-one wants to work anymore’.

Profit is down (still profit just not a much as we’d like), fire a few thousand of the most vulnerable but useful workers the rest will just have to work harder.
Workers wages are capped so now its time to cap CEO wages.
how does that follow, that would imply that CEO are workers

If you look at flags painted on aircraft (both airliners and military), they ‘read’ ‘left to right’ on the port side, and ‘right to left’ on the starboard side.
Because that’s how a flag would look as the aircraft proceeded, if one were flying from a mast atop the aircraft.

Some flags are quite versatile. There’s some great flags among the flags of shipping lines, both active and defunct.

The obsession with ‘the outback’…
The fact is that Australia is an island nation, surrounded by sea, and dependent on what comes and goes by sea for its continued existence.
Yet the great majority of people ignore that reality in favour of a very hyped romantic iconisation of ‘the outback’ – much of the commerce of which would cease to be without the sea and ships .

My idea for a new flag is for a a stylistic representation of a land girt by sea. Deep blue or black background, with a simple shape (circle, triangle, rectangle) to represent the land. The shape would be mostly ochre with a thin green outline, which reflects the vegetation patterns. Then throw in some yellow stars, either to represent the sun or the southern cross.
No inclusion of human themes, just a representation of the physical geography of the place.

Agree with that.
Although it need not represent geography, either. Most countries’ flags have nothing, or very little, to do with their geography.
Southern Cross seems to be a symbol that had wide acceptance, but it’s not peculiarly ‘Australian’, and its only suggestion of the geography is that it can bee seen from much of the country.

Something stirred in my memory, so i just had a look in some nautical tables, and the Southern Cross can be reliably seen from as far as 25 deg NORTH of the Equator, and on occasion 30 deg North.
If you can’t see the Southern Cross from pretty much anywhere in Australia, you’re probably looking in the wrong place

Agree with that.
Although it need not represent geography, either. Most countries’ flags have nothing, or very little, to do with their geography.
Southern Cross seems to be a symbol that had wide acceptance, but it’s not peculiarly ‘Australian’, and its only suggestion of the geography is that it can bee seen from much of the country.
Yeah, I’m a bit iffy about including the SC on the flag. It is not uniquely Australian, and is already on the flag of a handful of other nations. It can be seen as far north as Florida and Egypt although not all year round.

In reality. Ours is the place on earth that this can best be seen from while still able to be having a beer by a barbie deressed in stubbies tshirt and thongs.

We used to see it quite clearly from Bundaberg, which is just south of the Tropic.
it must have low on the horizon.
I remember travelling to Tas on the motorcycle. Camping. Each night the southern cross was a bit higher in the sky.
Where is the Southern Cross in Australia?
Its position near the South Celestial Pole means the Southern Cross is almost always visible from anywhere in Australia.

If you lay there and watch it, it does a full circle every night.

That’s the kind of question that you can’t truly answer until you’re confronted with the situation.
You can tell yourself that you’d go to extremes, even risk your own life, to help them, because it’s the right thing to do.
You can tell yourself that you’d coolly judge the circumstances, and if the odds were against you, you’d quite rationally opt for self-preservation.
But, until the time comes, you probably really don’t know which course would prevail. Few of us know ourselves as well as we think we do.

When my father was beating/trying to kill/raping/trying to rape one of my siblings I would mostly get in between them. But occasionally I would just totally freeze and do nothing and then I would feel immense guilt.
When my father was stalking me during my teens, 20s, 30s – to early 40s I would often freeze which is not what I would have thought I would do. I would have thought I would have fought back.

I am not a confident swimmer so I would be throwing out something for them to grab onto, ringing 000, trying to get someone else to go out there. Stealing a boat or paddle board etc.

Thing I found at a very early age is that you can always find someone to help if it is where other people are. My first recollection is of this. When I was no older than three or four, we were out at a place called Cookatharma. It was I think a Christmas time party. The place was fed by irrigation from the Murrumbidgee. I think it was a storage for watering the extensive gardens, like a swimming pool with no fences and level with the ground. Some bigger boys were playing with bits of palm tree bark as boats. I wandered down watching them and they got sick of it and moved away. I started to play with their boats but noticed a neatly tied ribbon floating on the surface. Tried to pick it up, it had my younger sister underneath. I called the bigger boys back and despite needing help to be alive, she is still alive today though I am sure she doesn’t remember my part in it at all.
Another time, my mother had just helped me out of a whirlpool in the bidgee. Treacherous things they are. Then she went back in to help another mother who was trying to save two of her children. I immediately ran up the beach begging the men to help. As they did, forming a chain and when the second mother was dragged out, a third child was found hanging on to her legs. The mothers have long since passed but I am still lifelong friiends with the children that were saved.

Being confronted with situations like that is not something that anyone expects. You’re bound to have a moment of shock and surprise.
The question is whether your mind recovers from that and begins to think what to do, and how quickly that recovery happens.

Mr buffy has instructions from me that should we come across a “situation”, I know he will instantly kick into gear. Even after being retired for years now. And I have told him he must tell me what to do. Forcefully if necessary. In case my reaction is to freeze.

Wow picking up the pink ribbon that was your sister! OMG! That is really intense!
Lifeling friends with the other ones. You were good at getting people to listen to you! Very good at getting people to listen to you.
I was the bossy one.
When I was 15 I saw a young boy hit by a car on Parramatta Road. Some adults came up and said we will move him onto the foot path. I told them that I had X certificate in First Aid. That there would be no moving of the boy. Then I gave them jobs. I in no uncertain terms told one to ring an ambulance, one to stop X traffic on one lane and one to stand in the place where the ambulance would possibly need to stop. Then I told the other one to stand to the side and to get rid of anyone who was stupid enough to try and move boy. I told another to push back any potential gawkers as the kid didn’t need any more stress.
I sat down next to him and told him the ambulance would be there soon. That he wouldn’t be moved by anyone but medical professionals. And I quietly and gently chatted to him.
But occasionally stood up to bark orders to the adults if they seemed to be about to do something stupid. The ambos came, and they took him. The put on a brace that I have never seen before. They were mightily pleased that he had not been moved. I went to the hospital to follow him up, until his parents arrived. They asked if I was the one that stopped him from being moved. They were so grateful. I told them that I was the eldest of six with a brother that fitted from time to time, had serious asthma and etc. Just all in the day of being the eldest sister. It was interesting that I took over and all the adults did as they were told. At the time I just thought no that is not going to happen you will not be picking him up and moving him.

You can do all that with a cake of Velvet soap. And yes, you can still get Velvet soap.
I’ve been known to pick a shampoo on the basis that the bottle and/or the shampoo was green and I’ve got green towels. I have chosen on the basis of smell sometimes. But mostly I just buy the cheapest. And I do use the Velvet soap to wash my hair reasonably frequently.

The Melbourne home was unoccupied throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, giving the wasps plenty of time to build the huge nest.
The colossal size of the nest – which is usually basketball-sized – suggested it could have been built from as early as September 2021.
Thousands of wasps infested the massive nest, creating a dangerous environment for the pest controllers.
“They can be aggressive. I had to approach it over two days,” Mr Armel said.
He said European wasps usually built their nests underground; however, this nest appeared to be made by eating wall plaster and combining it with wood fibre and saliva.
The pest control expert said it was the largest European wasps’ nest he had seen in his career.
“I reckon this is a record. It was as big as a 70-inch television,” he said.

I didn’t know European wasps built wasps underground, what I call european wasps build round ones on a little stalk under eaves and the like. Their sting is exceptionally painful. Then there are ehat I call paper wasps that build long narrow nests, all so under eaves and the like, their sting is nowhere as painful.

IIRC it was an ad for an electronics company. HR and marketing were in charge of the campaign.
HR and marketing are the appendix of the human world, they might have a use, but no-one really knows what that is and you can definitely live without them

It’s only in Indonesia since the Indos invaded Papua. They haven’t crossed the Wallace line.
Pleased you pointed that out Tamb.
Indonesia never invaded Papua, though. Papua was part of Indonesia right from the start.

And the puggles press on their mother’s belly to drink – there is no teat though. You can always tell when someone has some puggles in care as they have bruised palms from dripping the milk on it and letting puggle push up against their palm whilst they drink.

Give him credit. He spent an whole hour pretending to be a human being he’s totally exhausted and has gone home to have a nap for the next week or so.
He’s on slow burn. He’s going to apologise for being racist in a decade. It will keep him relevant.
I hope he is investigated by an ICAC where all this money he now has has come from. I would like to see the details there.
Obviously he is modeling best practice. Anyone can engage in a cynical pointless gesture and be redeemed.
Though my friend did speak to a couple of her Elders, who all cried about it. So it was meaningful for some people in a huge manner.
But I return to my cynical stance.

Dunno about that.
There’s such things as ‘towed aerial gunnery targets’. Like this one:
Still in use today, and they’ve been in use since someone said ‘hey, i betcha we could put a gun on this here airy-plane!’.
They’re usually made of fabric, and towed at a considerable distance behind an aircraft ( the one in the pic is being reeled in or maybe out) and military pilots shoot at them with cannon fire.
Some of them get quite good at it.

I imagine the balloons are as cheap as to make, could attach nothing in particular useful to them either to whom shoots them down or yourself

so it’s true what they say, it really is a weather balloon which CHINA are much better at raising 25 years later
There is a historical precedent for all of this, as well. In 1998, a rogue weather balloon from Canada deployed to measure ozone levels accidentally drifted away. BBC reported at the time that the airship was the size of a 25-story building and was operating at an altitude between 27,000 and 37,000 feet, so admittedly much lower than China’s balloon is now.

People prefer sensationalism to facts.
It is really sad. When I did my teacher training I have the textbook and I will scan it in. It’s based on research in almost a thousand schools. 65% of Queenslanders are reading and writing at a 5th Grade level they don’t have the capacity for critical thinking as they haven’t transitioned from concrete thinking to abstract thinking. That means their limbic system is easily high jacked. They don’t know who Murdoch is and that he owns 70% of Queensland newspapers.

The COVFEFE Act.
The Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement Act (COVFEFE Act), House Bill H.R. 2884, was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on June 12, 2017, during the 115th United States Congress. The bill was intended to amend the Presidential Records Act to preserve Twitter posts and other social media interactions of the President of the United States, and requires the National Archives to store such items. H.R. 2884 was assigned to the House Oversight and Reform Committee for consideration. While in committee, there were no roll call votes related to the bill. The bill died in committee.
U.S. Representative Mike Quigley, Democrat of Illinois, introduced the legislation due to Donald Trump’s routine use of Twitter, stating “In order to maintain public trust in government, elected officials must answer for what they do and say; this includes 140-character tweets. If the president is going to take to social media to make sudden public policy proclamations, we must ensure that these statements are documented and preserved for future reference”. If enacted, the bill “would bar the prolifically tweeting president from deleting his posts, as he has sometimes done”.

OK, looked at the other 9.
I suppose I know what all the NSFW stuff was about now.
I still don’t see why anyone would want to produce stuff like that.

I thought it was quite good. I realise it won’t be to everyone’s taste hence the warning but I can understand someone wanting to create it.

Higgins’s accused rapist Bruce Lehrmann is currently in trial in Qld for two unrelated rape cases. Maybe Bolt should try to lift the veil on that?

I posted the clips previously. News reported a high-profile individual appeared on two rape charges in a Toowoomba court: daily charge sheet for that court only had a small number of names, only one of which was a high-profile individual.

wait so it’s bad for taxpayers to compensate sexual assault victims is it, imagine the outcry if the money were used to do more to prevent the perpetrators from acting

You have had an arduous time of it kii. It’s really been rugged for you. Mr kii was a once in a life time partner. So I can’t imagine how hard this birthday without him is.

https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/pilot-emergency-cardiac-arrest/index.html
A flying instructor died inflight after suffering a cardiac arrest, but his co-pilot thought he was fooling around and only realized after landing on the runway with the man slumped on his shoulder.
The pilot recalled that shortly after takeoff from Runway 28 the instructor’s head rolled back. The pilot knew the instructor well and thought he was just pretending to take a nap whilst the pilot flew the circuit, so he did not think anything was wrong at this stage. He proceeded to fly the aircraft round the circuit. As he turned onto base leg the instructor slumped over with his head resting on the pilot’s shoulder. The pilot still thought the instructor was just joking with him and continued to fly the approach. He landed normally on Runway 28 and started to taxi back to the apron.

Stumbled on this the other night.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_Weapon_1
It had him and “Scotty” in it.
It’s rarley screened.. with good reason..
Loaded Weapon 1 has an 18% score on the film-critic aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 35 reviews with the consensus: “Loaded Weapon 1 hits all the routine targets with soft squibs, yielding a tired parody that cycles through its laundry list of references with little comedic verve”.
