About this location
Want to get a real sense of the vastness of the outback? Head up to the Mundi Mundi Lookout for a view over the seemingly endless Mundi Mundi Plains. It’s a sealed road all the way to the lookout, just a five-minute drive south of Silverton (or half an hour north of Broken Hill). But once you’re there, looking out to a horizon so distant that you can see the curvature of the planet, you could be at the ends of the earth. It’s easy to see why the plains inspired the filmmaker George Miller, who used them for the setting of his post-apocalyptic 1981 movie, Mad Max 2. Take a picnic, look out for wildlife including emus, kangaroos and eagles, and soak up an incredible sunset.

they could claim that you can see a vehicle approach from over the horizon and that would be the only way to get the idea of curvature.

I don’t know much about bridges and ships. OTOH it doesn’t surprise me at all that something with a mass of 100000000 kg moving at 5 m/s could destroy a bridge of these dimensions. I’m seeing a lot of stuff on line about how the collapse indicates poor maintenance, but I don’t think bridges are designed to withstand such a barrage.

It checks bridges for robustness.
That bridge failed that test.
Next time have a tug, they push heavy things away from pylons.
Tugboats. Very handy.
Why wasn’t it assigned one?
Anyone can see that a tugboat would have kept the ship away from the pylons.

Tugs are expensive. They’re hired to shipping lines by tugboat operators/companies.
Once needed by every ship, they’re not so ubiquitously required these days. With bow- and stern-thruster propellors, variable pitch main propellors, and propulsion units that can be rotated 360 deg, even large ships are vastly more manoeuvrable than ships of decades past, and often manage quite well without much, or any, assistance from tugs. In the hands of a skilled captain, a large ship can often berth and depart with a lot less fuss, time, and expense than if they were to use tugs.

In the case of the bridge collapse in Hobart the supports were designed as such but the ship wandered out of the shipping lane and hit an upright that was not designed to be hit at all.

to be fair, I have seen women do this too.. then open the communal door to exit the bathroom… I have to say – public toilets are the worst and I always try to use my foot to open the door or think about the least likely part of the door handle that is used to touch…
We do wonder why they don’t have more foot / knee operated faucets and doors set up in all these places, not buying any “accessibility” excuse since it’s shock horror a reasonable adjustment in itself.
We mean one day when computers are a thing and someone invents 爱 that can do voice recognition, they might even be able to use that to operate the faucets and doors … maybe in a few hundred years or so.
Public toilets at Rainbow Beach have no-touch taps, and unisex disabled toilets, and an open walkway (no doors) between the toilets and the handwashing facilities. The Woolworths shopping centre in Gympie also has no-touch taps, no-touch soap dispensers and a dog-leg, no-door entrance.

I mean logically, one line of restaurants along the road with their signage visible, one long carpark along the back with one entry/exit at either end. Nuch more efficient land use.

His degrees are a Bachelor of Arts, and a Bachelor of Science in economics.
Two years later, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League university in Philadelphia, where he earned two degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in physics, and a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from the university’s Wharton School. Although Musk has said that he earned the degrees in 1995, the University of Pennsylvania did not award them until 1997. He reportedly hosted large, ticketed house parties to help pay for tuition, and wrote a business plan for an electronic book-scanning service similar to Google Books.
In 1994, Musk held two internships in Silicon Valley: one at energy storage startup Pinnacle Research Institute, which investigated electrolytic ultracapacitors for energy storage, and another at Palo Alto–based startup Rocket Science Games. In 1995, he was accepted to a PhD program in materials science at Stanford University. Wiki

The Tasman Bridge disaster occurred on the evening of 5 January 1975, in Hobart, the capital city of Australia’s island state of Tasmania, when the bulk carrier Lake Illawarra, travelling up the Derwent River, collided with several pylons of the Tasman Bridge and caused a large section of the bridge deck to collapse onto the ship and into the river below.

The Bell Rock Lighthouse
The Bell Lighthouse was built around 1811 by Robert Louis Stevenson and was seemingly the inspiration
for his novel Treasure Island. On dark and stormy nights they would switch off the light and wait for a ship
to crash on the rocks, then steal its treasure.
The Lighthouse stands 11 miles east of the Firth of Tay and was built at an angle of 11 degrees. This was
mainly to suit the first lighthouse keeper, an 11 year old boy called Jim Hawkins, who had one leg 11
inches shorter than the other.
The lighthouse stands an impressive 35mts tall and its light can be seen from 35 miles inland. It fact it is
so bright that the residents of Arbroath can switch their house lights on and off every 5 seconds with no
notable difference to the brightness in the room. The north windows in the structure are ideal for looking
at the stars whilst the south windows are perfect for vomiting out of. The structure has also been cleverly
designed so that on a sunny day it acts as a perfect sundial when viewed at a height of 11 thousand feet.
The more you know.

ANZAC Day is something that people have seized on as ‘iconic’.
There’s a lot of people in Australia who feel that there’s something missing from their lives. Some occasion, or event, which clearly represents both a national challenge and a national unification, in which they can take part, and from which they can emerge with a confidence in themselves and in the country. A part of history, to which they can point, and say ‘i was involved in that, and we faced up to it, and came through it’.
They cast about to identify what would fit the bill, and the most readily identifiable examples, with a vast amount of documentation and hype to back them up, are the World Wars. WW2, in particular, presents to them as an existential crisis for Australia, which demanded extraordinary efforts and great sacrifice of nation and people, with anyone who contributed to the effort in a great or small way deserving of the respect of those who came after.
They latch on to the military exploits and ‘tradition’ of Australia in a vicarious way, knowing that, whether by careful diplomacy or (more likely) by historical accident, that most of them won’t be called on in their lifetimes to make similar sacrifices.
So, they try to fill the empty space in their psyche, and to atone in some way for being born at ‘the wrong time’ which denied them the chance to write their own page in the ledger. This takes the form of canonising servicemen and servicewomen of decades past as being heroes, one and all, of wrapping themselves in the flag (literally, in some cases) to try to absorb some sort of patriotic warmth from it, and investing in every gimmick and gee-gaw that comes along with ‘ANZAC’ printed on it.
This isn’t to say that the people who did what was required of them in all of the wars shouldn’t be remembered. They certainly should be. But, the fact that governments create situations where they called on their populations to do such things should be remembered, too, and given mention, and despised.
I’ve known people who were in WW2, Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, Timor, and Afghanistan. There was some who readily admitted that it was the biggest adventure of their lives. A Korean veteran (a New Zealander) said that he was terrified, but never felt so much alive before or since his time in Korea.
For most of them, however, once the reality of it had been seen and felt, would rather have been anywhere else. A WW2 veteran said ‘There was no saints among us, bloody few heroes, even fewer live ones, every last one of us was shit-scared, and anyone who says they weren’t is a bloody liar’.

Robert Stevenson designed and built the lighthouse (which doesn’t lean but was commissioned into service in 1811). The designer-builder was the grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson.

Born female, the customer grew up as Jane in a Cleveland orphanage. Superior in intellect and physical strength but plain in appearance, Jane suffered as an unloved outcast and was never adopted. These qualities, however, led a man named Robertson to recruit her for SpaceCorp, a space flight organization seeking young women as R&R companions—sex partners—for male astronauts. During Jane’s aptitude testing, a physical examination revealed an undiscovered, disqualifying medical condition. Keeping this a secret, Robertson rejected Jane under a pretense while promising to re-enlist her.
In 1963, Jane fell in love with a man by a chance encounter, briefly finding happiness before the man deserted her one day. Robertson finally revealed to Jane that SpaceCorp was a front to recruit elite operatives with no family ties for a secret government agency, but Jane became disqualified again due to being pregnant by her lover. While performing a Caesarean section, doctors discovered Jane was intersex. As a result of a forced hysterectomy due to birth complications, Jane underwent gender reassignment through a series of extensive surgeries. Amidst all this, her baby was abducted by an unidentified man. Resenting her lover for ruining her life, Jane adopted the name John and eventually relocated to New York City.

Having finally seen the illusion, I now withdraw my earlier comment in the hope that I might be able to unsee it.
@SCIENCE – what is the difference between what and waht?
what we are and what we feel
OK, there is no difference then.
At least that’s the meaning I assign to those words.
Whether Mr. Williamson meant them that way, I cannot say.

I’ve long been of the opinion that oysters are a case of ‘the emperor’s new clothes’.
I have never eaten a raw oyster that was at all enjoyable. I’m not saying that they’re inedible, and couldn’t be eaten in a survival situation. But, the same can be said of many small creatures which we would rather avoid as parts of our regular diet.
Like brushing your teeth, no matter which way you do it, ‘the experts’ will tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Swallow the thing in one gulp, and the aficionados will say, no, you should chew it a little. Chew it a little, and they say, no, gulp it down. Whatever technique is recommended, it always equates to eating cold snot.I think that no-one actually likes oysters, but no-one will admit it, as it would suggest that they’re not ‘cultured’ enough to appreciate such a ‘delicacy’.
Perhaps one day, the headline item on all news services will be ‘OYSTERS ARE KACK, AND IT’S OK TO SAY SO’, and then the whole ridiculous facade will crumble.

The high price is the motive behind the plot. By convincing people that they should pretend to like oysters, and that oysters are appreciated by people of taste and refinement, you can demand a high price from those who wish to display their sophistication.

Some years back, we went to a beach in a National Park in Qld.
It was a bit of a roughish road, but not all that daunting.
We got there without any trouble, and pulled into a parking with a number of 4WD vehicles in it. Snorkels, and jacked up suspensions, and enormous tyres, and stuff like that. Their owners were leaning against their vehicles, having a beer and talking amongst themselves.
They seemed a bit surprised by our arrival, but didn’t say anything to us.
Later, we learned that the road was ‘4WD only’. And we had arrived in a 1985 Toyota Corona sedan.

Ha! I did that, too. Drove up roughish roads frequented by 4WD types. And also in my 1985 Toyota Corona sedan, which is – even now, sitting in my carport.
Sadly, the car isn’t used any more. Blew the water pump and decided it wasn’t economical to fix it.
So why am I hanging onto it, you may ask?
Because in a house and associated carport where there’s not much storage, a large locked box (aka said Corona) comes in handy for keeping bits and pieces, largely, secure.

A brotherhood of man

Sharing all the world

I was on a bus in Aberdeen a while ago and overheard a couple of Aberdonian women a few seats ahead of me talking, both in thick Aberdonian accents:
AW1: I keep hearing about Aberdeen accents. I’ve lived here all my life, and I’ve never heard it.

While that sort of vehicle may be quite satisfactory for Brits with aspirations to an appearance of landed gentry or adventurers (although constantly nagged by their conscience, ‘is the Range Rover justified?’), it would never do for any self-respecting American, as they have a wide range of much larger civilian assault vehicles from which to choose.

Not in Saudi Arabia.
There the middle lane is the slow lane, the outer lane is the fast lane, and the inner lane is the overtaking lane.
Including in areas where there are slip roads merging.
That’s how it was in early 80’s anyway.

The phrase ‘make it so’ is in genuine use.
It’s a phrase used in naval parlance when it’s up to the person in charge to decide that a particular event is occurring, or should occur.
A daily example is at the flag-raising ceremony of ‘colours’ in warships in harbour and in shore establishments.
The quartermaster advises the officer of the day that it’s ‘eight o’clock, sir’. To which the OOD replies ‘make it so’. The QM then pipes the ‘still’ and the ensign is raised.
It dates back to the days of sail and ‘exploration’ when time aboard the ship in a foreign locale was a matter determined by the ship’s own resources, most likely an hourglass, the prompt turning of which was a highly important thing for navigational purposes. It was recognised that some error would, inevitably, creep into those measurements, and that ship’s time might show some variation from precise local time.
So, when the QM announced that it was ‘eight o’clock, sir’, he meant that it was 08:00 as determined by the ship’s own facilities. The officer replied ‘make it so’, signifying that that moment was officially a point in time from which entries in the ship’s log, the ship’s movements and activities, and other events could be measured.

You can use these traffic light behaviour management templates to create your own personalised traffic light behaviour cards. There are two options. You can download the templates with the emotions on them e.g. happy, fine and sad. Or, you can download them with nothing on them to create from scratch.
You could include examples of each behaviour on the cards. For example, on the green/happy card, you could put things like “Listening to the teacher and other students”. On the orange/fine card, you could write things like “not listening to the teacher” or “talking over people”. On the red/sad card, you could write bad behaviour like “very disruptive” or “being aggressive”. Make sure you write them out in a way that the children can understand them.
On the cards, you can also write down privileges. For example, on the green card you could write things like TV, snacks, games and electronic tablet. On the yellow card, you could take some of those privileges away, so you’d be left with snacks and games. On the red card, you could take more privileges away so that they just get their normal meals but nothing else.
These cards are editable, so you can write whatever you want on them to help your child, whether it’s for school or for home.

Ooh I know this one. Lower angle accuracy is required since you can tell what hour it is even with a 12 degree error, whereas even a 6 degree error in your estimate of the minute hand position will lead to incorrect information.

Spike Jones (IMHO one of the greatest musicians of the last 150 years) used guns of various sorts in several of his performances. He also used such things as glass harmonicas, jackhammers, and cowbells.

It was added to their Constitution in 1791, when everyone was shit-scared that the British might come back (which, to be fair, they did, in the War of 1812).
At that time, (1791) the US government was in a funny situation, where it couldn’t raise a lot of money itself and depended on the various states to chip in to meet a lot of its expenses. There was no way it could afford to maintain a standing army or significant naval forces, even if the idea of those forces hadn’t been anathema to the states, which saw in them the potential for the Federal government to interfere in the boondoggling and racketeering that a lot of the state leaders and legislators were involved in.So, the idea of having a citizenry with weapons, who could be called on for wars, made sense. No dreadful standing army, no expense to any government, state or federal.
Thus, the Second Amendment.

I did something similar a few years ago.
There was a large leak from a water main that ran down an arterial road in western Toowoomba.
It went on for some days, quite beyond a reasonable time to take action.
So, i sent an e-mail to the Regional Council, suggesting that the name of the one of the two creeks through the town would have to be changed from West Creek to Central Creek, as it seemed that the new, and apparenty permanent, flow of water in the western area had better claim to the name of ‘West Creek’.
There reply was that, interesting as my suggestion was, it was really a matter for the Geographical Names Board, but they would see what could be done about that flow of water. (I heard from someone in Council that the suggestion caused some amusement, too.)
It was repaired a day or so later.

Why didn’t you check that the water company knew of the leak first thing? I did this easy not 2 months ago and sure enough online the problem was listed so I knew at least i’d done my bit.

Given that it was on an arterial road, which was then part of the Warrego Highway, with that spot being passed by thousands of vehicles every day, including Council vehicles, and the site of the leak was at a significant intersection, so thousands more vehicles going ‘the other way’ each day (doubtless including some Council vehicles) had to drive across the water flowing from the leak, and the water was flowing past a number of both business and residential properties, i felt fairly confident that Council had some intimation of the existence of the leak, but seemed to be in no hurry to do anything about it.
Which, given that our water-supply dam levels were at less than 30% at the time, seemed to be rather remiss of them.

In the case of Mt St Helens in 1980, the top vent was firmly plugged with solidified lava. Before the eruption, the side of the mountain swelled out sideways 120 metres, at 1.5 – 2 metres per day. Despite this horrifying and quite atypical behaviour of rock on the side of the mountain, the geologist observing the volcano still assumed the eruption was going to be vertical. He was quite wrong and claimed a Darwin Award.

420, 4:20 or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is cannabis culture slang for marijuana and hashish consumption, especially smoking around the time 4:20 pm (16:20). It also refers to cannabis-oriented celebrations that take place annually on April 20 (4/20 in U.S. date form).

i have done some test runs with my rope-making machine, and tabulated the ‘shrinkage’ involved in winding three strands tight, and then laying them up into a three-stranded cord/rope.
I have yet to test with 4mm strands at the start (which should produce a nice, neat rope of about 8mm in diameter), but tests on two kinds of 2mm dia. cord, a 3mm dia. cord, and simple, thin cotton twine have produced remarkably similar results (33% – 36% reduction from ‘starting’ length to ‘finished product length), averaging out at 34% reduction in length.
This will allow me to compute the economics of any sales of finished cordage, indicating that, to produce saleable 10 metre lengths, three strands of the ‘raw material’ cordage, each of 15 metres, will be required. This means that a reel of 100 metres of ‘raw material’ cordage will produce two saleable lengths.
This is doable.

It’s a niche market, to be sure, but it exists.
There’s branches of the International Guild of Knot Tyers (it’s a real thing, https://igkt.net) in Australia, and find the kind of cordage that’s best suited to projects can be difficult.
There’s maybe two sellers in Australia on the internet, and i could give it a shot, possibly be competitive. If it doesn’t work out, that’s ok, i’m not depending on it for a livelihood.

Vitamin C has a definitive role in treating scurvy, which is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C dietary supplements are available as tablets, capsules, drink mix packets, in multi-vitamin/mineral formulations, in antioxidant formulations, and as crystalline powder.
Gold plating is usually adopted as the top finish of the electrical contacts in dry circuits because of its excellent stability and conductibility.
Gold is an extremely beneficial choice in plating metal for electronic purposes. Due to its high resistance to oxidation and corrosion, gold is able to better maintain conductivity over time than metals that are apt to form surface oxides (such as iron or copper). The high malleability of gold makes it possible for a thin gold plating over a nickel underplate; the manufacturing of gold plated contacts has advanced to a point that the plating thickness can be very tightly controlled. The melting point of gold is nearly 2,000oF (~1100oC), far higher than any temperature expected to be encountered in most aerospace applications. This makes gold plated connectors very reliable in high temperature environments. Gold also has a relatively low coefficient of friction, enabling gold connectors to endure a large number of mating and unmating cycles without degradation. The ability to endure these cycles is crucial to the maintainability of any systems or components relying on the connector.

Portishead put a third album out!
This was 15 years ago, rannabbat when me boy was born, so I suppose my mind was not on popular music at that time and the news escaped my notice until now.
I had their first two albums on heavy rotation in the 1990s, so finding out this thing exists is a pleasant easter egg.

yes, paper is permanent as much as anything. we are still reading original papers from a couple of hundred years ago. if they had been stored electronically could we still read them without going through hoops to adjust the file format? this is what I mean about permanent.

They planned to set it up on their timber deck. I asked about the pool’s dimensions and capacity.
After a little calculation, i asked how would feel about parking a reasonably large truck on his deck, as the weights were about the same.
A litre weigh a kilo doesn’t it
depends on what it is a litre of and at what temperature. to be pedantic.

One litre of liquid water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram, because the kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic decimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice (0 °C). Subsequent redefinitions of the metre and kilogram mean that this relationship is no longer exact.
Definition
Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water
A litre is a cubic decimetre, which is the volume of a cube 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres (1 L ≡ 1 dm3 ≡ 1000 cm3). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m3 ≡ 1000 cm3; and 1 m3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L.
From 1901 to 1964, the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at maximum density (+3.98 °C) and standard pressure. The kilogram was in turn specified as the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram (a specific platinum/iridium cylinder) and was intended to be of the same mass as the 1 litre of water referred to above. It was subsequently discovered that the cylinder was around 28 parts per million too large and thus, during this time, a litre was about 1.000028 dm3. Additionally, the mass–volume relationship of water (as with any fluid) depends on temperature, pressure, purity and isotopic uniformity. In 1964, the definition relating the litre to mass was superseded by the current one. Although the litre is not an SI unit, it is accepted by the CGPM (the standards body that defines the SI) for use with the SI. CGPM defines the litre and its acceptable symbols.

Hint: it’s a 3 head house that was captioned as Chernobyl, another genius used a CHINAese character that transliterates as “AI”, which in pomme de terreish abbreviates Intelligence Artificielle, current iterations of which generate images that have similar defects, but the CHINAese character also translates as “cancer”, a condition that is associated with radiation exposure such as that encountered in Chernobyl and in other cases causes swellings or tumours that in media portrayals often are stylised as multiple heads.
So maybe a 3 head pun as well

I got a threat e-mail from one of those scam outfits, saying they had video of me doing rude things in front of my computer, and they’d send it to everyone i know if i didn’t give them money.
I told them to go ahead, but make sure that they sent it to me, too. Because my PC doesn’t have any cameras, and the laptop camera has had piece of heavy black tape over its camera since Day 1. And i don’t do rude things in front of the computer. But, i’d like to see who they thought was me.

The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is a US-based non-profit organization composed of civilian volunteers who study reported UFO sightings. It is one of the oldest and largest organizations of its kind, claiming more than 4,000 members worldwide with chapters and representatives in more than 43 countries and all 50 United States. The organization has been criticized for its focus on pseudoscience, and critics say its investigators fail to use the scientific method.

I doubt that you could say that Lincoln tried to ‘destroy’ America.
His over-riding goal was the preservation of the Union.
If you do think that he was striving to destroy America, you might benefit from some reading about the man.
And it was in Teddy Roosevelt’s Presidency that anti-trust laws like the Sherman Act, to prevent monopolies and cartels from exercising a dangerous degree of economic influence, began to be introduced.
Both Lincoln and Roosevelt were Republicans, but they would probably not recognise the Republican party today. For a long time, it was the Democrats who were the more conservative party, and the Republicans were more liberal. That was certainly the case in Lincoln’s era.

The Spanish learned this a long time back.
When they were the ‘conquistadors; of South and Central America, their number one incentives were gold andsilver.
The Spanish king and government wanted as much as they could get, to fund their military aims and expeditions, including buying arms from other countries and paying for mercenaries.
The more gold and silver that they brought in from the Americas, and distributed about Europe, the more that the metals were devalued, so it took more and more of them to buy today the same things they bought last year.
And Spain had nothing else to offer; its domestic economy was stagnated because none of the gold and silver had been spent on infrastructure and production, and they were still obsessed with extracting little other than gold and silver from their conquests..

Yeah, true, but precious metals weren’t the only thing involved in Australia’s economy. Wool, wheat, beef and mutton were among other things in which the country traded. The development of refrigerated ships was driven, in large part, by the desire to transport meat from places like Australia and Argentina.
So, unlike old Spain, Australia was not just a ‘buyer’ country, but a seller’ country, and not a ‘single item. economy, and other branches of the economy could offer some cushioning against the variations in values of precious metals.

It’s still the case that national treasuries full of newly minted precious metals is a good thing. Not all of the new found wealth is inflationary and it can be used for buying things from other countries. Spain was far richer for their American colonies than other European powers at the time and this was a result of the new wealth, in large part precious metals, that they found in the New World.

One of the TV shows at the time dug into the story and found that the process had been initiated by “community concern and complaints”. The TV show tracked down the main complainer and interviewed her, where it was revealed she some old dear who went and bought some rap CD that had bad words in it just so she could write a letter of complaint, and encouraged all her friends to also complain. This was the overwhelming campaign that brought in the legislation.
The TV show also interviewed someone high up in the government who responded to the complaints, and he revealed that they received three whole complaints.

Rockall is an uninhabitable granite islet in the North Atlantic Ocean. It and the nearby skerries of
Hasselwood Rock and Helen’s Reef are the only emergent parts of the Rockall Plateau. The rock
was formed by magmatism as part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province during the Paleogene.
Rockall’s approximate distance is 187 miles west of Soay, St Kilda, Scotland and 430 miles south
of Iceland. The nearest permanently inhabited place is North Uist, an island in the Outer Hebrides
of Scotland, 230 miles away. The United Kingdom claimed Rockall in 1955 and incorporated it as
a part of Scotland in 1972.

For the benefit of everyone else out there not exactly sure what the lyrics of that song are:
Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The Euthanasia Coaster is a conceptual design for a steel roller coaster intended solely as a means of euthanasia.
This idea was devised in 2010 and realized as a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a Lithuanian artist pursuing a PhD at the Royal College of Art in London.
With a background in amusement park operations, Urbonas described his creation as a way to end lives with a sense of “elegance and euphoria.”

She needed some lady related kit.
Before the US sent Sally Ride up there for six days, they considered her ‘feminine needs’.
They told her that they would include tampons in the supplies, and asked her if 100 would be sufficient?
As you may have guessed, there was no women involved in that aspect of planning.

Economics has changed since i studied it 40 years ago.
Then you lowered your price to beat a competitor, this hasn’t changed.
Now it seems that competitive pricing has gone from lowering your price to compete, to matching the higher price. This is of course a result of the amount of oligopalies we have.

In my game, the previous business owner lowered his prices so much that he eventually went broke and bailed out.
I bought him out and I’ve raised the prices to the current standard operating average, plus a little because I’ve been doing this for a long while.
The whole point of money/dollars/wealth is to exchange what you have for what you want.

You are not a large conglomerate.
You are not an oligopaly, like the banks, colesworth etc.
You are a businessman that has to set a competitive price to survive.
Like me you are a small business.

Every competitor in international sporting events should compete under the flag, colours,and national anthem (…etc) of the highest level sovereign entity. Not on some sort of regional basis. The UK has a strongly centralised unitary system of government, more centralised even than countries operating on federal systems, like Australia, the USA or Germany – yet none of them get to compete separately, even though they are a collection of states.

this is an interesting mix. The British & Irish Lions is a rugby union team selected from players eligible for the national teams of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
The Barbarians,
The first formal meeting of the club was on October 1st, 1890 at 24 Southampton buildings, Chancery lane, London. They decided upon a motto for the club which was “Rugby football is a game for gentlemen in all classes, but never for a bad sportsman in any class” – formulated by the right Reverend W. J. Carvey. This ensured that the Barbarians did not discriminate upon class, race, creed or color and the only qualification to be a member was that you were a good rugby player and a good sportsman and one of the chaps.
The membership was originally limited to sixty five and by invitation only. They had no official headquarters or clubhouse and did all work via post including player selection, although the Espanade Hotel in Penarth became their unofficial HQ since they met their annually during their tour of South Wales which took place in Easter.

I find pronouns interesting, they are very similar to the naming conventions for livestock. Spider Lily decided to stop using them on as many official documents as she could get away with, because the reality is that your marriage status and sex usually have no relevance to the reason you are filling in the form.

that’s right in a way. because the UK is at higher latitudes than what Australia is the Sun is at a lower angle than here. This means that instead of a small footprint, Sun overhead as in Australia, in the UK your whole body is exposed to the Suns rays and thus you get more solar radiation and so you get hotter. It’s just science, folks.

Judgemental and furious obviously know this, as does every other member off this above averagely knowledgeable forum, but just in case …
The term “meme” was introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his book “The Selfish Gene“123. Dawkins referred to it as a “Mimeme” – a word derived from Greek that means “that which is imitated“2. The word was then abbreviated to just “meme” due to its similarity to the word “gene“2. Dawkins conceived of memes as the cultural parallel to biological genes and considered them as being in control of their own reproduction
Did Dawkins really consider them as being in control of their own reproduction, or did the bingbot make that bit up?

The term was coined by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene in 1976, from mimeme, which in turn is from Greek mīmēma, modelled after the existing word gene.
I would argue that any of the modern-sense memes could be a Dawkinsian meme.

I thought the quote was referring to memes, but the question could apply to either.
I mean both genes and memes have properties that effect how they are reproduced, but that doesn’t make them “in control”.

I call the meals breakfast, lunch (mid-morning), dinner (noonish), tea (evening). I remember reading somewhere that the word lunch was derived from luncheon, then the midmorning snack; over time the names drifted so that lunch(eon) became the midday meal and dinner became the evening meal, with tea reserved for the drink. The midmorning snack became morning tea. An internet search fails to confirm this.

The Jam Boy was first introduced in the 1800s when the British Empire occupied India. When the British gentry went to play golf, they would have two men, the caddy and a Jam Boy. The Jam Boys were covered in jam from head to toe, or sometimes jelly and used to attract the insects away from the golfers. After fulfilling his duties, a jam boy would be allowed to keep the fly-covered jam for himself.
On some North African and far eastern countries (Egypt, Thailand, Vietnam) the practice continues today. This practice is known as “the Nelly”.
In Tasmania, Australia the jam boy is often called “Harold” or “Beauy” as they are said to act in similar ways to the current town drunk.
At a recent golf outing in Pennsylvania, a group of young males used a caddy as well as a volunteer jam boy in protest of the practice.

Alcohol clouds in space
Yes, there is a giant cloud of alcohol in outer space. It’s in a region known as W3(OH), only about 6500 light years away. Unfortunately it is methyl alcohol (commonly known as wood alcohol, though this stuff is not derived from wood), so it isn’t suitable for drinking. There is some ethyl alcohol (the drinkable kind) there as well, but it’s not nearly as common.
It might seem strange that there are alcohol clouds in space, but as noted in an earlier post, a great deal of complex molecular chemistry goes on between the molecular clouds and dust in outer space, and all sorts of chemical compounds exist there. Alcohol is a relatively simple molecule, made of relatively abundant elements (hydrogen, carbon, oxygen), so it shouldn’t be surprising that it exists in large quantities in space.

SEATTLE—Debuting a new, streamlined classification system, librarians at the Seattle Central Library announced Wednesday that they have officially dropped the Dewey Decimal System in favor of organizing all titles under “B” for books. “This is going to make things so much easier for staff, as well as for patrons who may not know the intricacies of the old proprietary system,” said head librarian Margaret Grady, gesturing toward a giant pile of thousands of books under a piece of computer paper printed with the letter “B.” “Once you get the hang of it, it’s really simple—they’re all right there in one place. It’s far more intuitive, too. Now, no one who wants a book on, say, analytic geometries has to remember that those are all under classification 516.3. They just come in, think to themselves, I am looking for a book—I’ll look under ‘B’ for book, and they’re off to the races. Not to mention, it makes reshelving a breeze. We’re hoping the ALA will consider making this the new nationwide standard.” At press time, Grady was overhead informing a patron that the DVDs had all also temporarily been filed under “B” until they thought of another place to put them.

Pathological fear/anxiety: Pathological anxiety happens when the brain circuits involved in fear become oversensitive. A person may experience excessive worry, hypervigilance, physical symptoms, and unusual behavioral responses to situations that others may not worry about.

Some ratbag set fire to house in western Sydney, killed a woman and a couple of kids, some other kids were saved.
And domestic violence with stabblings, stabbings on the street (not just women asvictims, but, yes, them, too).
There’s a need for some sort of societal clout around the ears, and (dare i say it?) there’s some ethnic and religious sectors that need it most of all.

In the early years of WW1, aircraft did not have machine guns attached, and were mainly used for reconnaissance or sometimes dropping bombs. Pilots would sometimes shoot at each other with rifles or pistols.

Reminds us of that classic Palestinian story.
At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the IRS agent was checking the books, he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, “I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there’s too little left to be of any use?”
“Good question,” noted the CFO, “we save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every once in a while, they send us a free roll.”
“Oh,” replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way. “What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what’s left over after setting a cast on a patient?”
“Ah, yes,” replied the CFO, realizing that the auditor was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question, we save it and send it back to the manufacturer and every so often they will send us a free bag of plaster.”
“I see,” replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO. “Well,” he went on, “what do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?”
“Here, too, we do not waste,” answered the CFO, “what we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a year they send us a complete dick.”
At the end of the tax year the IRS office sent an inspector To audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings? Good question, noted the Rabbi. We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, And every now and then they send us a free box of candles. ‘Oh,’ replied the auditor, Somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way: ‘What about all these bread wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?’ ‘Ah, yes,’ replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector Was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. ‘We collect them and send them back to the manufacturer, And every now and then they send us a free box of bread-wafers.’ ‘I see,’ replied the auditor, Thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. ‘Well, Rabbi,’ he went on, ‘what do you do with all the leftover foreskins From the circumcisions you perform?’ ‘Here, too, we do not waste,’ answered the Rabbi. ‘What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the IRS Office, And about once a year they send us a complete dick.

In a cultural sense the British Isles are part of Europe.
In a geographical sense you can flip either way. Right now they are islands separated from the rest of Europe, but in the past when sea levels were lower they were connected.
But then, you could argue that “Europe” doesn’t exist and is just a cultural construct to describe a region of the much larger Eurasia landmass.

About 30 years ago one of son#2’s preschool teachers had a bub. Dad was Anglo and mum was Asian. All the cards at the newsagents featured white skin babies. I bought an all occasion card with flowers on it and didn’t mention anything about a brand new baby boy.

A lady who ran a tutoring business in Australia, said her adult son travelling with circus ole or a circus show similar to that was in Indonesia when that huge tsunami hit. Their accommodation was pretty near to the waterfront zone but they had a day off and decided to head inland to do a bus tour thing to explore the forest areas but one of the guys decided to stay behind to catch on sleep …. He died in the accommodation when the tsunami hit , whereas the other were safe and sound being inland and quite above sea level.

Ah.
They were lucky with that film. Spain had not long before paid off its Hispano HA112 fighters (license-built Me-109s) and its CASA 2.111 bombers (license built Heinkel 111s), so they were available for the film.
But, they ran on Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but most people wouldn’t have noticed that.

I wonder how they managed that – The Merlin is a very different engine to the Daimler-Benz DB 605A-1 – the German engine is an inverted V, the Merlin the regular way up. And the Bf-109 (no such plane as an Me-109 sorry) had very little free space around the engine so fitting something quite different would have been rather difficult.

1956 John Deere “Field Flyer” – After success with the relatively mild Farm Roadster, the more radical elements
in John Deere management thought there might be a market for a more extreme “hayseed hot rod,” not that
they ever called it that in a brochure. Tractor tires made sure it rarely got stuck, and the high-torque tractor
motors made sure the Flyer could get from one end of the field to the other in nothing flat. For hot rodders in
rural areas, it was a good alternative to the Deuce coupes that had to stay on pavement, and the closed cabin
made sure no one got thrashed by corn stalks!

Mrs S’s sister lost a baby to SIDS.
When i got the news, i tried to imagine what she and her family were feeling.
I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t even start to do it. It was too immense, i couldn’t begin to comprehend it, to grasp it. It wasn’t that i didn’t feel for them, i just knew that there was absolutely nothing in my life that could give me a scale by which to measure what they were going through.

Reminds me of a joke from the George Bush era:
Three Texas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed.
One of them said, “I’m the best surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident. I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England.”
One of the others said, “That’s nothing. A young man lost both arms and legs in an accident. I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in the pole vault in the Olympics.”
The third surgeon said,
“You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a cowboy who was high on cocaine and alcohol rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour.
All I had left to work with was the horse’s ass and a cowboy hat, but I put that young man back together.
And now he’s president of the USA.

I was a cat breeder and found that it’s possible to train a cat only if it wants to do what you are training it to do.
I was thinking the same thing: cats are easy to train, as long as you’re training them to do whatever they goddamn well please.
Other things may be more difficult.

DOMINATRICES OF THE INSTITUTE: A WARTIME INFORMATION-QUARRY.
Our program, developed with the full blessing of the United States and
British governments, to quarry useful information from, and plant
disinformation into, key figures amongst the Axis powers by using
dominatrices like the one depicted here, was a brilliant success that
resulted in many coups for the Allied powers.
Here, an (unnamed) temporary operative readies her “lightbulb battery”
mere moments before a sexual encounter with Hermann Goering in 1941.
Her years-long liaison with Goering resulted in the Axis powers’ almost
complete confusion at the allied storming of Normandy, among other things.
Alas, the sexual mores of the 1940s did not permit her important work to
be properly heralded nor rewarded.
She received no medals from the British or United States governments,
and passed away in complete Herodotean obscurity in a Floridan old
folks’ home in 1989.
Her diaries mentioned Goering as the least virile lover of her long life.

The Heard and McDonald Islands Marine Park consultation is a rare opportunity to protect key gentoo penguin feeding grounds. As fisheries elsewhere decline, the pressure to exploit Southern Ocean resources grows, so we must create marine protection when we have the opportunity.

So when did Tasmania get named?
And Sydney?
And Australia?
a bit surprised about the lack of detail along the South coast as well.

“The name Australia (pronounced /əˈstreɪliə/ in Australian English) is derived from the Latin australis, meaning “southern”, and specifically from the hypothetical Terra Australis postulated in pre-modern geography. The name was popularised by the explorer Matthew Flinders from 1804, and it has been in official use since 1817, replacing “New Holland”, an English translation of the Dutch name, first given by Abel Tasman in 1643 as the name for the continent.”

The atlas of Matthew Flinders wasn’t published until after he returned to Britain in 1910, having been imprisoned by the French for 6 years while trying to return to Britain.
He didn’t live to see his published maps, 1814. Note that he suggests the continent should be named Australia, which duly happened.

Flinders had already filled in most of the blanks by then, but he got captured and imprisoned by the French on his way back to England. There was a war on at the time. It took awhile for the information to make its way into the hands of map publishers.

Well, Lt. Jim Cook thought that the appearance of the bits of country that he could see were reminiscent of south Wales.
Of course, he was gawking at it from the deck of HMS Endeavour at the time.
Tasmania wasn’t officially named as such until 1856.
The new name was gazetted locally in November, with a Designation of the Colony Act in December. Arriving with self-government, the new name became effective on 1 January 1856, and the next day ‘Tasmania’ celebrated its renaming at a Grand Tasmanian Regatta.

The internet’s favorite animal gets a disturbing AI makeover
A cottage industry has arisen around bizarre cat videos made with the help of artificial intelligence.
By Taylor Lorenz
August 3, 2024 at 7:00 a.m. EDT
LOS ANGELES — Yunus Duygulu didn’t use social media much until he was laid off from his job as a newspaper reporter. But after watching hours of YouTube videos about how to use generative AI tools, the 30-year-old decided to start making content on a subject as old as the internet: cats.
In March, he created an Instagram account, TikTok page and YouTube channel called Tales of AI Cats, and began posting videos that tell heartfelt and humorous stories using AI-generated images of stylized, doe-eyed cats. Within months, Duygulu gained more than 109,000 followers on Instagram and amassed millions of views on TikTok. Buoyed by the growth of short-form video, similar content has amassed tens of millions of views across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, and has become part of the latest AI-distorted twist in the internet’s love affair with cat content.
“I think of an image prompt depending on my current mood and share images using cats as protagonists,” Duygulu said in an interview with The Washington Post. “Last time, I shared images of cats going out in a car and .”
The proliferation of generative AI tools like Google Gemini and Midjourney, as well as video editing tools like CapCut, has allowed this new genre to flourish. In recent months, platforms have been flooded with slideshow-style AI-generated cat stories depicting them in emotional and sometimes bizarre or disturbing scenarios. The phenomenon marks one of the first breakout online content formats in the AI era, reshaping the creator economy and raising concerns about inappropriate content.
Cats have long inspired viral online content. They shaped the early image-based web in memes such as Business Cat (a cat wearing a tie) and helped usher in the age of viral video with characters such as Keyboard Cat (a cat playing on a keyboard). Feline video-makers also pioneered the art of building a business around going viral: Grumpy Cat (a cat who looked grumpy) played a formative role in the influencer industry in the early 2010s, inspiring countless other “petfluencers.”
“No matter the platform, cats have pervaded it,” said Luke Anderson, co-founder of Juxtapose Studio, a production studio in Los Angeles. Anderson said he came across the AI cat pages on Instagram several months ago and became obsessed with them, sending hundreds of cat stories to his friends.
Now, cats are on the cutting edge of what could be another major shift in online content creation, starring in an early example of a viral content trend built on AI-generated images on fast-growing platforms like YouTube Shorts.
“We’ve reached a point on the internet where a lot of people are trying to dissociate from reality,” said Nick Noerdlinger, the managing director of Meme Insider, an internet trends journal. “People want to leave behind the world run by humans and enter a world run by cats.”
The videos all tell a narrative through simple, AI-generated images: A cat goes grocery shopping and loses his mother, for instance. Or a cat gets left behind on a family road trip and goes to great lengths to make it back home.
The storylines are compelling and dramatic and often tug at people’s most basic emotions. They play into classic themes of good versus evil or tragedy and triumph. They are typically told without words, and almost all are set to renditions of hit pop songs with the lyrics replaced by the word “meow.”
To succeed, “it needs to go viral across languages and across cultures,” said Jason Koebler, co-founder of 404 Media, an independent media outlet that has been documenting AI’s effects on social platforms. “I think that when you replace the English lyrics of a song with a bunch of meowing that it’s a universal link.”
Mubashir Siddiqui, a 20-year-old content creator outside Chicago who has reposted AI-generated cat stories, compared the videos to picture books: “It’s all visual with very simple plots — you don’t need words to see what’s happening.”
The content is so easy to grasp that even young children can understand it. But some AI cat storylines can turn very dark. Many are related to the police, with cats becoming police officers to exact revenge on other cats who have wronged them, often by killing them. One video posted by a YouTube channel with over 157,000 subscribers depicts a cat shooting up a Walmart and killing another cat who tries to stop the shooter.
Other videos feature physical deformities, such as cats with boils on their skin, or other grotesque content. A video about a cat who drops his phone into a toilet has garnered over 70 million views on YouTube, while another featuring a cat who appears to eat the contents of its dirty diaper has over 22 million views on YouTube Shorts.
The popularity of the AI-generated cat stories is driven in part by Gen Alpha children consuming them on YouTube Shorts, where kids can have unrestricted access to the content, said Rowan Winch, co-founder and head of social at Fallen Media, a media company that produces short-form content.
Winch said the bizarre and absurdist storylines of the cat videos “have the same kind of energy of the YouTube kids videos where it’s Elsa getting pregnant and things like that,” referring to the character from the Disney hit movie “Frozen.”
In 2017, YouTube came under fire after bizarre and disturbing videos featuring popular children’s characters, including Elsa, were categorized as child-friendly content. The videos included storylines or scenes that featured violence, sexually explicit acts and other distressing material. YouTube outlined steps it was taking to crack down on disturbing children’s content in a 2017 blog post.
There’s evidence the AI cat stories could be traumatizing to at least some children, social media experts said. Parenting experts have said that disturbing content can cause distress among children. Videos of young children crying to the AI cat videos have recently become a meme, resulting in a flood of TikTok and Instagram users showing the videos to young children. Influencers have begun mocking the trend, doing videos lip syncing to the songs that play in the cat videos.
YouTube and Instagram did not respond to requests for comment. TikTok didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
A form of escapism
Despite the concerns, a cottage industry has arisen around the cat AI story pages, instructing users how to create and profit from them. YouTube tutorials with hundreds of thousands of views promise people the ability to make more than $100,000 a month. “When you start a trending YouTube channel your channel will be monetized within just 30 days,” one video, titled “How To Create Viral AI CATS Video For MILLIONS of Views (FREE & EASY),” promises.
In one Discord server for administrators of cat AI pages, users traded tips on how to scale the pages fast and linked to Telegram groups where the pages could be sold off to the highest bidder once they’ve reached a certain following or engagement level.
Duygulu said he is hoping the popularity of his videos will allow him to monetize his pages, which “have been attracting the attention of the U.S. public for the last month.” But he has to figure out how things would work with taxes. In the meantime, “managing this page makes me feel how similar we are despite our differences,” he said.
Abhishek Choudhary, a 25-year-old in New Delhi who with his younger brother runs an AI-generated cat story account called Simba AI, said he just enjoys the creative process of making up storylines. He said the videos are a form of escapism, like a video game, and that he doesn’t earn money from the account.
“The audience are people who are tired of other humans,” Choudhary said. “They want an escape. They see themselves in the innocent cat.”
Choudhary and other AI cat story page administrators said that it’s crucial that none of the videos feature humans because fans of the videos are looking to transport themselves to an alternative AI-generated cat reality.
“Whenever we include a human, there are so many comments saying, ‘Do not include a human in the story,’” Choudhary said. “They get very upset.”

I’d be interested in how much of that is mentioned to prospective sex changers.
Like everything just about its corrupted by how much money someone can make from it and poor quality work might ensue
There are plenty of testimonials online from detransitioners who feel they’re lives were wrecked by surgery that they very much regret.
Yes I read one about a man who became a women and hugely regretted it.
Reading about what they had to deal with and you could see an option of suicide being considered
I mean I can accept that it was controversial initially, in my grandparents’ time. I’m a reasonable man.

It’s not real, dv. It’s not possible for humans to change sex, ask the biologists :)
“Sex change” is a misleadingly-named cultural practice based on the tradition of people identifying “sex” by sexist stereotypes rather than by real physical criteria.
But that simply not true, there are surgical interventions that can allow people born female to have functioning penises, and people born male to have functioning vaginas. What’s that, if not a literal change of sex?
in any case I don’t really understand the whole “men playing women’s sport” thing.. I mean, it’s not as though mediocre male athletes are rushing out to seek gender affirming care because they want to compete at an elite sport and the only was is to do it as a female.

I accept that you regard science as “unkind”, dv, which is presumably why you’re a committed Christian.
But science isn’t really “unkind”. It just strives to describe the real world accurately.
This topic isn’t controversial to the great majority of biologists. They know that humans can’t change their sex. It’s all about “gender” which is a cultural construct (and one which these days is associated with a sad amount of sexist woo).

Those changes are cosmetic. They’re not real penises or real vaginas and no, they don’t function in the same way.
Even the limited claims that are made about the degree of sensation etc associated with those surgeries are often found to be untrue by those who’ve been subjected to them.
They are nothing like a “literal change of sex”.
I’m quite astonished that on what was once a science forum, I’m having to keep repeating very elementary biology.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just think if undergoing a sex reassignment or some form of gender affirming care makes a person happier, then who am I to stand in the way. In fact, I can’t actually think of a reason why anyone would want to stand in their way..
this was never a science forum. it has always been a social forum.
Which is Hannah’s point. After all that, those zeebs are lined up to say someone born as a girl isn’t one if she has elevated testosterone. They are just crazy inconsistent bozos and we have to operate under the assumption that they will in time fade away.

I think that is looking at it in reverse. So far as I know, there are no athletes who had such surgery in order to compete in a female event because they were not good enough to compete with the men. That is not the reason why anyone would do it.

there is a serial killer who offended before surgery, then underwent gender reassignment and told the police that their dead person did the murders and now that they have different hormonal balances they are no longer a danger to people.
They did, however, kill again putting the kibosh on their theory, but it was an interesting thought activity while it lasted.

FISH CULT IN MONTEVIDEO, 1931.
As is known primarily to scholars of NRMs or New Religious
Movements (e.g. Inkelstratt 1959, Duisberg), a strongly-felt
spiritual movement made its way through Uruguay starting
around 1887 and lasting through the Second World War, perhaps
aided by the fact that Uruguay is the most secular Latin American
country and hence less slavishly tied to Catholicism.
“La Alta Deidad de la Trucha” became a famous object of worship
during these years, somehow displacing (or peacefully coexisting with)
traditional Catholicism and Umbanda, an animist religion.
Here we see La Alta Deidad’s main temple in Montevideo, near the
Ciudad Vieja, an astonishing architectural mélange attesting to the
very real financial power of the religion by 1931, an immense structure
combining Beaux Arts influences with Second Empire touches within
and a huge sculpted and rather stylized fish without.
Tunnels below the building led to the ocean, occasionally flooding, where
saltwater baptisms were conducted, and nighttime ritual “cleansing swims”
of the congregants to underwater reefs occurred.
The temple, also housing a bank, the offices of several importers, and
the Uruguayan Fishery and Forestry Ministry, was a marvel of engineering
and fared well for a few decades until the cult underwent bankruptcy due
to shady dealings by its shadowy ruling council, involving charges of
prostitution and Satanic abuse. The building’s connections to the ocean
also raised rumors of concrete rot and imminent collapse.
The cult’s popularity plummeted and in an ironic twist of developer fate, an
American hedge fund yuppie billionaire couple purchased the building in
the 1990s and decided that all ornament was passé and should be shaved
off. The tunnels were concreted closed, and the substructure bolstered with
i-beams.
The building now resembles a rather typical skyscraper with clean “midcentury
modern” lines, all ornament blasted off. Only a faint seawater smell is rumored
to linger at night.

FISH CULT IN MONTEVIDEO, 1931.
As is known primarily to scholars of NRMs or New Religious
Movements (e.g. Inkelstratt 1959, Duisberg), a strongly-felt
spiritual movement made its way through Uruguay starting
around 1887 and lasting through the Second World War, perhaps
aided by the fact that Uruguay is the most secular Latin American
country and hence less slavishly tied to Catholicism.“La Alta Deidad de la Trucha” became a famous object of worship
during these years, somehow displacing (or peacefully coexisting with)
traditional Catholicism and Umbanda, an animist religion.Here we see La Alta Deidad’s main temple in Montevideo, near the
Ciudad Vieja, an astonishing architectural mélange attesting to the
very real financial power of the religion by 1931, an immense structure
combining Beaux Arts influences with Second Empire touches within
and a huge sculpted and rather stylized fish without.Tunnels below the building led to the ocean, occasionally flooding, where
saltwater baptisms were conducted, and nighttime ritual “cleansing swims”
of the congregants to underwater reefs occurred.The temple, also housing a bank, the offices of several importers, and
the Uruguayan Fishery and Forestry Ministry, was a marvel of engineering
and fared well for a few decades until the cult underwent bankruptcy due
to shady dealings by its shadowy ruling council, involving charges of
prostitution and Satanic abuse. The building’s connections to the ocean
also raised rumors of concrete rot and imminent collapse.The cult’s popularity plummeted and in an ironic twist of developer fate, an
American hedge fund yuppie billionaire couple purchased the building in
the 1990s and decided that all ornament was passé and should be shaved
off. The tunnels were concreted closed, and the substructure bolstered with
i-beams.The building now resembles a rather typical skyscraper with clean “midcentury

Someone gave it to meas part ofa Christmas gift.
It was named/labelled ‘clint’ on the bottle, but, written in a similar script to the pic above, it was more easily read as ‘c*nt’. And, it took me some time to decipher the actual name.
While i would never describe such a scent as offensive, i saw no good reason why anyone would want to buy and use a bottle of the condensed essence of the odour.

“It looked like there was an Oompa Loompa in a meth lab. And I’m sitting there thinking: ‘This sounds like a musical’.”
Real life stories have inspired many a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe but few quite as strange as Willy’s Candy Spectacular.
Producer Richard Kraft was inspired by news coverage of the disastrous Wonka-themed event in Glasgow which was shut down by police after just one day following complaints from angry parents.
Kraft began working with songwriters on a show and convinced director Andy Fickman to join them.
He eventually managed to recruit two of the child stars of the 1971 film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to join the project – Julie Dawn Cole, who played Veruca Salt and Paris Themenn, who played Mike Teevee.
Kirsty Paterson – the so-called “Sad Oompa Loompa” whose photo in a green wig had gone viral – was also recruited, alongside a huge cast of musical veterans.

The Independent Order of Rechabites (IOR), also known as the Sons and Daughters of Rechab, is a fraternal organisation and friendly society founded in England in 1835 as part of the wider temperance movement to promote total abstinence from alcoholic beverages. The Order has been active in Australia from 1843, promoting temperance and as a benefit society. A branch was established in the United States in 1842, and also flourished for a time. In the United Kingdom, the Order trades under the name of Healthy Investment, being well connected in upper society and involved in financial matters; there it gradually transformed into a financial institution which promotes teetotalism.
