People who worry that Covid Vaccine might change their genetic make-up, should welcome that possibility.

Can you name these, with reference to their documented policies? My gripe is that the major parties seldom quote their official policy in their election advertising. Therefore the electorate are seldom aware of their official goals, beyond some vague slogans. All parties are guilty of this.

Hear, hear. Our present political mobs seem too afraid to promote a coherent easily understood plan. Refer to the success of project 2025. Lack of a clear plan leaves the public with an easy choice of Vacuous populist three word slogans to vote for. So here we are.

And almost no coverage of the Epstein files outrage

Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

The corollary of that implies I've made a sytload of stuff. No wonder I need a nap. -
While Little donold is usung the US military to manipulate the oil futures market, the media has forgotten the Israel/Palestine battles. Palestine, which only existed for 28 years, was carved out of the Ottoman Empire by the Brits in 1920. The Ottomans had been there for 500 years but backed the wrong side in WW1. Nobody wants to see Israel returned to the Ottomans, and the Ottomans probably don’t want it back. Before that the Romans merged Judea into Syria-Palestine and as such it was owned by countless empires without a separate identity until the British mandate of Palestine. The first Arabs arrived in about the 7th century. The Jewish tribes of Israel had lived there since the Bronze Age , so about 2,700-3,500 years before them. Even if the dates are off, the Jews of Canaan and Judea were in Israel then Palestine before the Arabs. Who came first and where they came from needn’t matter. What matters is what exists now and how to fix it. Kicking the 7 million Israelis out of Israel and calling it Palestine is not a viable or moral option. Nor is driving the Palestinians into the sea.

Don't fret OME, all information is just reduced to a string of ones n zeros. -
Some people don't get what a will is........ I mean, come on, it's a dead giveaway.

Gee, thanks for that. Much of that sounds like self agrandising word salad. So, LLM A.I. is still just using contextual word and phrase comparisons. But you lose me with predictive aspects. I'd agree that probability might be possible, but predictive results gets too close to seeing into the future. That's impossible. My take on A.I.'s own answer is that it's often limited when it comes to initiative or sound logic. -

What does A.I. convert human language into, in order to compare the words with the algorithm? Is it really just language modelling and comparing with databasees of similar language? If so, then it isn't rationally thinking. -
In spite of all the stuff going on so far, It's gone beyond just a case of 'What has tRump done now?'.... Quoted from Pearls & Wisdom: "a group of 36 senior neurologists, forensic psychiatrists, general psychiatrists and mental health professionals experienced in the diagnosis of cognitive disorders and evaluation of dangerousness, who had signed an earlier statement in 2024, issued an update on 30 April of this year. They cited examples of Trump’s “marked deterioration in cognitive functioning, evidenced by disorganised and tangential speech, rambling digressions, factual confusions, unexplained sudden changes of course in strategic matters, both national and international, episodes of apparent somnolence during crucial public proceeding. Grandiose and delusional beliefs, including assertions of infallibility…claims that his decision-making authority is unlimited – with no need to consider domestic and international laws and constrained only by his ‘own morality’. Severely impaired judgment and impulse control…Significant loss of self-control (disinhibition) and getting stuck on the same thoughts or actions, unable to let go or move on (perseveration), including seemingly compulsive, manic-like late-night communications – e.g., 150 social media posts in one night.” They conclude: “it is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be the President of the United States, and that steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency”. And this bloke has 24/7/365 access to instantly start launching numerous preplanned nuclear ATTACKS. https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/07/for-president-trump-starting-nuclear-war-as-easy-as-sending-a-tweet/

I put this here partly tongue-in-cheek. But Don't you think a V12 range extender on a 500hp hypercar, sounds like a monster? https://www.motortrend.com/news/evtol-range-extender-hypercar-motor-diesel-v12

The first thing they'd do is start sending friendly emails to random blokes...... -
It was a Chinese build. Tipper back. Single cyl, shaft drive to a short conventional diff. The frame was 2"box downtubes. Really tough. But also very dead.

Meanwhile, in USA, it is reported: "Virginia hosts the world’s largest concentration of these facilities, and PJM’s independent market monitor found data centers drove 63% of last year’s capacity price increases across the regional grid. That cost doesn’t stay abstract. It lands on every ratepayer in the territory — a pattern familiar to those who’ve followed tech scandals where costs are quietly shifted onto ordinary people." I suspect Australia will follow the American funding model.

Just to put the supply and demand influence on pricing, we should include data centres. These things require grid reinforcement and generation increases far above population requirements. They now affect wholesale prices. A single hyperscale data center can consume over 100 megawatts — comparable to the usage of tens of thousands of homes. Australia already hosts 154 data centers across 77 cities, operated by 58 distinct operators. And plan for many more. https://www.datacenters.world/countries/australia
