The union has announced that workers on Vic tunnels will earn up to $360,000 pa. They are proud of their win in negotiation with Jacinta for more of our money.

The developer who is charging ahead with the Trump Tower has been bankrupt previously - twice. So I guess he's in good company with a U.S. President who has sent six of his business ventures bankrupt. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-24/trump-tower-developer-went-bankrupt-twice/106379446

Have they developed a version of WD-40 for electric mowers yet? 😄

The climate change debate continues.

Strong winds, accompanied by rapid barometric pressure changes, also blow water from one side of lakes, reservoirs, bays and harbours, to the other side. They're called "seiches". The water can really pile up. There are sieches on the Great Lakes, and on all salt lakes here. -

Now they are calling for Charles to abdicate. William and Catherine to become king and queen. The article is behind aa paywall, so I don't know any more than that. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-15580417/charles-abdicate-william-kate-andrew-epstein-MAUREEN-CALLAHAN.html

Plenty of Coastal erosion evident and coastal rivers Backing up. That's not imaginary but melting snow near Mt Everest will make about 2 million peoples survival difficult and that will affect all of us. Just WHERE are the signs that its NOT warming? Nev -

One thing is certain. There are many many variables in this debate. For instance, how does anyone safely assert that sea levels are rising (or falling). The sea sure aint flat, nor the same 'level' all around. I suspect that modern satellite work is now busily averaging the numbers. But these are new algorithms, so cannot be used to compare ancient 'levels' with present ones. Following is from Wiki but is food for thought. "There are also "holes" in the ocean. Gravity lows. Geoid lows. The surface of the ocean tends to be perpendicular to gravity. But the composition of our planet is not homogeneous, so the gravity field deviates from any idealized form you might expect (oblate spheroid, globe, etc). The indian ocean geoid low causes sea level to be around 100 meters lower than it would be if it followed the WGS 84 geoid. NOTE: this does not mean that water is rushing in to fill the low. Gravity itself is distorted. The water is in its gravitationaly favorable location already. But by measuring gravity in that location, or by using high resolution surveying, the low can be detected." Also, coriolis affect makes oceans tend to pile up more on their west side - & the amount will depend on ocean current strength. And... every 1 millibar change in atmospheric air pressure causes a 1 cm change in sea level in the opposite direction. (Haven't fact checked that one) However, all the water from those melting glaciers & icecaps must be going somewhere. -

Apparently his protection personnel and staff at his home had a four letter nickname for him - it rhymed with stunt.

I'd be worried about it falling over. The Council wouldn't be game to question the Building Specs. Too busy divvying up the Bribe money. Nev

Like most Asian names, the surname come first. His father was KIM JONG IL (capitalised because upper case i and lower case L look the same in this font, ie, Il ). Kim is his surname, Un is his given name. Just like Xi Jinping's surname is Xi.

Listened tu it. Well Produced. We need more of such articles. Constant Peer review is part of science. Unfortunately a lot of people won't look at anything that contests their Already made up Conclusions that they are comfortable with. Some years ago, the Psychology Courses called it "Selective Perception".. Nev -

It would probably take around three years to design and build it starting from scratch. Even if it was built, I doubt that Trump will ever get his name on it. He will hopefully be in jail or in an aged care facility by then.

If it ever gets built Trump will probably be dead before it is finished

SHE doesn't turn ME ON, tiger and I can't see how talking to her would be anything put a test of Endurance. Can you imagine HER as PM representing the COUNTRY? Nev

Bated Breath sounds like something you'd have to find a cure for. None for Me Please. Anyhow my Medical thing was done Over the Phone. I'm going to Need another OP on my right Hand. My brain hasn't changed. Now I have to peruse that Article. Lunch will be soon and do you know what happens IF you let lunch get Cold.? Nev
