Just another grasp at straws to try and discredit renewables

Probably because Star Trek: the next generation had 178 episodes spanning 1987 - 1994. Plus 4 movies with the same cast, with the latest in 2002. For us Gen X's that's a big chunk of our teens and early adulthood.

Talking to a Mate of mine, this afternoon who lived in the Area. Apparently some of it is subject to flooding and has needed attention for a Long time. Anthony doesn't Play Golf, so what does he Personally get out if it? It's not like He is getting a %.. Nev

Individual wind generators are shut down when there's no way to use the Power they would generate. It's no big deal. There are times of the day when you can get power from the Grid for No cost. Nev

I'm happy to use non-fossil electricity. Presently expecting a $200 credit for this quarter. That projects to a break even at about 6 years, but considerably sooner after we get a new EV to use the excess that presently only goes out to the grid at 8c/Kwh.

AEMO bring assets online and take them offline regularly as part of their management job. Can't use that as valid complaint against any particular generator. Each generation class has it's own profile and gets used according to that, combined with grid requirements. So, the system works. And?

Interesting, Windfarms in Victoria shutdown for grid stability. https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2026/10/wind-farm-disconnections-for-system-strength/

Albo might be able to have a break from stepping on rakes regarding his golf course problems as it's all going to higher levels of scrutiny. He's been referred to the parliamentry privileges committee to investigate whether he's mislead parliament and a Senate inquiry starts in a couple of weeks time. The Australian National Audit Office, the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and Marrickville Golf Club officials will be attending the inquiry.

Your wife or kids will say, what are WE going to do with that JUNK when you die? I'm seeing THAT Happen everywhere with my friends. Seems they are more worried about the Junk being disposed of than You Dying.? Nev

Geez, mate. It wasn't a BYO.

It is a shame that Sir Patrick's memory is being hung on only one of his roles. Why Sir Patrick? He was knighted in 2007 for his services to drama. He had a long career as a Shakesperian actor. Also, one of his movie roles was in the X-Men franchise. The movie role I remember is as King Richard in Mel Brooke's Robin Hood - Men in Tights. He also was held in high esteem for his series of readings of Shakspeare's Sonnets during the COVID lockdown.

looks like they sent some delegates, pity they didn't pay there way. Why was it put on Australia

I operated out of Bankstown too but It's quite complicated now. Far more effort than flying into a Major airport. You can't do too much Preparation. A Visual of the Route will imprint it on the Mind. It IS VFR. Any Pilot must be on top of the radio procedures for where you are. Nev

Yes. Nev

Did they send someone, or just not their PM's? Nev

China, India, US, EU

Upon whom does failure of main players to participate in such meetings reflect?

Don't go to summits when the main players don't turn up.

Another great actor gone - Patrick Stewart, best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek.

My unexpert summary is this:- Although we wish that the government can control the big economic picture, they really can't. With the unlikely exception of major politico/economic suicide. Mostly our economy is largely influenced by the world economy, of which we are a minor part. All we can do is tinker around the edges with details. I don't see the complainers coming up with examples of great ways to 'fix' the perceived problems. Just saying 'chuck em out!' is not an answer.

The flight in the video from St Helens Park to Bankstown was over my old stomping grounds, so I knew exactly where the aircraft was all the time, except the right hand circuit to 29. So the navigating wasn't a problem for me. My difficulty would be learning the radio work since when I flew at Bankstown years ago the amount of radio work was minimal. However, an experieinced pilot who took the time to study the documentation should catch on pretty quickly. Afterall, we have student pilots whose training base can be airports like Canberra where the student has to be as good with the radio as an airline pilot.

Think I'd like to do that in a sim a few times, first. Nev

This post is really random, but I figured you blokes would be interested to see the new procedures for flying into Bankstown now that Western Sydney Airport is operational. As you go through the video pause it and havea look at the VTC and see all the airspace changes. In the comments, someone says that new peocedures for departing Bankstown mean it taakes longer to even get to the runway. By the way, the ME in the title is not me.

The old politics gets people going!😁

Is there anything in his statement that you find objectionable or Dangerous to the Country.? It's also 0ver 6 years ago. Has he written anything Since? More recent and SO WHAT? Trump is good MATES with Putin? IF some Fabians vote for Albanese is that a problem? People belong to the IPA, and the Australian Christian Lobby and Sco-Mo wanted to sell Australia to the Pentecostal Church and SANTOS. Get REAL GON.. Nev
