English is not actually a static language either. If you don't believe me, try listening to a group of 13yo's talking and see how much you understand...

If you are planning to install a battery to store your solar or a complete solar panels/battery system, consider becoming a VPP (virtual power plant). I did & got an additional subsidy on my 18.4 kWh battery of $676.00. I joined Amber as the VPP Manager at a cost of $25.00 a month. Instead of getting just a few cents/kWh when the sun is shining & the rates are low, the system charges the battery till its full & sells the energy when the price is high. My average is 18.2c/kWh. All my costs are at wholesale rates so I pay the same to buy power as the Energy retailers. In Summer when there is too much solar in the grid the sale price goes negative. When that happens & my battery is full, the system curtails the solar production so none is exported. When there is a grid failure somewhere like a power station partial shutdown the spot price can go to $10.00/kWh or even more. When that happens the system will export energy at its maximum rate. In an hour I can be credited more than a couple of months electricity cost while helping to stabilise the grid.

Lorem ipsum are the first words of extracts from the writings of Cicero. The extracts were selected at random simply to be used when printers were laying out the design of pages.

So would the same apply to perhaps names derived from very early English. Perhaps place names in a language is no longer speaks. What would be an alternate name for these galleries? It just seems a bit boring and stuffy for everything to have English names. I guess we will just have to disagree on this.

It's logical for them to assign another word/name for any NEW Object or Phenomenon they observe as all peoples have done. Nev.

Surely after white settlement Aborigines developed words for new things introduced by settlers. Prior to settlement I imagine that Aborigines had never seen a horse or camel but I imagine just like any language it develops new words for new things. Often perhaps in this case the word may be the same as English or perhaps similar. In the case of Naala Badu it supposedly means "seeing waters" which refers to the view. This seems relevant to the location. Am I missing something here?

GON, the U.S. Military forces leave Australia after a 6 month deployment. There are approximately 2000 Marines based in the Territory from March to October, then they go home. There are no U.S. Military force bases in Australia with permanently-based personnel, unlike Japan, Sth Korea, Germany, Italy, etc. The Australian military facilities used by the Americans are used on a Joint Rotational basis, or are Joint Defence Facilities with some American personnel based here permanently. Marine Rotational Force: - Darwin: Approximately 2,000 U.S. Marines and sailors deploy to northern Australia every year. They arrive in March to conduct several joint drills, such as Exercise Pitch Black and Southern Jackaroo, before returning to the U.S. in October. Aircraft and Bomber Rotations: The U.S. routinely sends aircraft (like B-52 bombers stationed temporarily at RAAF Base Tindal) for operations, and stores aerial troop carriers in the country, but the personnel are continually cycled in and out. Joint Defence Facilities: Bases like the Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap operate as cooperatively managed Australian and U.S. intelligence sites with permanently stationed administrative and intelligence personnel. A number of the overseas American military bases are treated as "Sovereign territory" by the Americans. I cannot see that being allowed here. In the U.K., the bases are leased to the Americans, the British Govt retains sovereignty over the land. In Spain, the U.S. bases are jointly owned by the Spanish and the Americans.

That car issue qualifies as a Legitimate GRIPE. . Nev

We do get a fair bit of forum ipsum around here

Plenty of Latin derived talk talk around. Churches use it and doctors used to write Prescriptions in it. Pidgin is used in PNG as a bastardised language.. ( I may have the spelling wrong) it uses words Like Buggarup for Broken. A Binatang (mosquito) IS a small Plane A Balus is a large one.. and so on. Nev

All I can add to this discussion is lorum ipsum.

Marty-d. Hypothetical situation. They don't talk. They communicate on their I Phone. OME You are requiring they Comply with our ways, or else. . Is that fair? Sentences are structured as we are used to. Nev

If you can find me a Gadigal person who can translate those words, or put them in a sentence, then I'll be more receptive. As it stands I reckon it's another example of PC. And there's not much water to be seen from there.

Most governments will rely on that excise for revenue. This assistance can't go on forever. We still have our triple "A" rating, That has a direct effect on what government borrowing costs. it's normal to borrow for Infrastructure same as it's normal to borrow for business or sell shares to fund it's initial and expansion costs.

Who said about night, but batteries would take care of that storage is the big Game changer. Quick response. Nev

It's NOT the names of localities that is the problem. It's the use of alledgedly indigenous words to describe things that did not exist before European arrival.
