It's time we discussed this issue. Although there is a rumbling in the media, there is little factual background. Do we need them? If so, why, and what is the cost/benefit analysis. Is there a power supply problem? If so, what is the plan to mitigate it. Is there a cooling/heat/water problem? If so, what is the plan for mitigation.

Seems the Globemaster was accompanied by a C130 - probably carring the catering truck. Just in case.

What is Donold up to now? ww.nbcnews.com/world/russia/mystery-us-military-plane-lands-moscow-rcna594262 The head of CIA just flew into Moscow, and neither The Whitehouse nor Kremlin seem to know about it (yet).

I bet they call it 'Almond Milk', because nobody can say "Nut Juice" with a straight face.

A belly button is basically a scar from when you got into a knife fight with a guy in a mask after being evicted from your first place.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks the horse if it's an alcoholic, considering all the bars it frequents, to which the horse replies, "I don't think I am." POOF! The horse disappears. This is the point in time when any philosophy students in the audience begin to giggle, as they are familiar with the philosophical proposition of cogito ergo sum, or roughly, "I think, therefore I am." But to explain that concept beforehand would be putting Descartes before the horse.

Oops sorry, PICTURES.....

A man went to his doctor, and the doctor checked him over before commenting, "It looks like you get a lot of exercise." The man replied, "Oh yes! In fact, just the other day I walked 5 miles over rugged terrain. I climbed over rocks and trees. I waded along the edges of a lake, pushing my way through tall thistles, and even slid down sandy slopes, getting sand in my eyes." The doctor was quite impressed. "Well, you sure are a dedicated outdoorsman." The man replied, "No doctor. I'm just really bad at golf."

Crotchless panties are the most impractical and useless piece of lingerie ever made. Lingerie is meant to tease, hide and hint at what is behind. But these do the exact opposite. They just frame your bits in superfluous material that still has to be removed. Or, if left on, it just gets in the way. Besides, they offer no support at all for your testicles.

Tony said "Don't say my name backwards" I said YNOT?

Hey look! I think that's the bottom of the barrel?

The climate change debate continues.
nomadpete replied to Phil Perry's topic in Science and Technology
For years now, I have been losing sleep about global warming. And I'm sure I'm not the only one worrying about our government's lack of action on it. But now I am happy to report they ARE taking action. I am now returning home via the coast of South Australia. Why isn't our media telling all Australians about the hundreds of great big sky fans dotted along the coast? Everyone come to the coast to feel the cool breeze generated by wind farms! Thank you Mr Albanese! -
Media being what it is, there is also a possibility that the parents may not have first heard anything from an official source. I did hear (unofficially) that the parents were likely present at the search. A sad outcome on all fronts. My heart goes out to all involved.
-
I totally agree with all the above re: search efforts, discovery and legalities. However, I cannot understand anyone in an official capacity making a public announcement without being very sure of what they are saying. That was not (in my opinion) acceptable. Whover contacted the parents with such incorrect, unverified information, has made a terribly thoughtless action.

Related to addressing climate change, as well as reducing pollution, and reducing reliance on foreign fuel sources (i.e. still on topic).... Wouldn't the inland rail project reduce transport's contribution to global warming? -
Yeah. I agree. I blame local government.
-
Saw it on the internet so it must be true. The pic alleged it was true at Mt Wellington. Of course the standard answer is.... Of course you didn't think it was cold. You ARE a Tasmanian, aren't you?

I see there was snow in Hobart yesterday. Today is a nice balmy 12 degrees and sunny here in Portland.

One positive about nomadding during the off season.... we are not paying tourist season prices. And the caravan parks are not crowded. We got a couple of nights in a nice (warm n dry) cabin at Mt Gambier - for $55 a night.

But I still wouldn't want to drive one. The first one I drove was 3 speed and it was great for following a herd of cattle across rough paddocks. Latrr models hsd a 4th gear & theh went faster. But every one of those ŵere bigoted. On rough roads they had a bias - loved turning corners one side but couldn't bring themselves to turn the other way.
-
Then again, I could never get a HJ45 to go faster. It wasn't in their DNA.
