Bring on this global warming..... It's five degrees here. I think summer was last wednesday - we had a 31 degree 'severe heat wave' then.

Keep it up. It's the only way we can be sure the posts are really by a human.

Admin? Where is the 'I'm jealous' smiley?

Have you asked ChatGPT to write a treatise on 'What are the differences' between them?

Darn. I'll have to try harder

Sorry Peter. I'm a naughty boy. But.... I reckon Musky has lit a few fires of his own.

The flow of fire information is muddied by infra red hotspot identification. Sometimes hotspots might be a dangerous reignition. I think sometimes the enthusiastic hotspot observers send crews out to insignificsnt smouldering stumps in middle of a burnt out area (no risk). This can cause incorrect frightening of the public. But, better safe than sorry.

On friday our brigade were over there. Helping with blacking out the smouldering stumps. Presently the snug tiers fire is pretty much out. I wouldn't be too worried, Marty. Our Landcruiser broke a front diff on rocks left on a fire break by the D8 dozers. Then one dozer got bogged down to the doors and they got a 45 ton excavator up there to dig it out. Very rugged terrain!

Is it true they are voting to impeach? Without the majority of the population being outraged, the rusted on ones will be a big problem. They should have waited until he makes more blunders that are painful to the general public. Give him enough rope.... What are they thinking?

So some say. But I rather think of them as alert opportunists. Collectively, their longer term success look to me looks less admirable.

Thanks for the map. I had no idea where Santorini is. So, is that where we should be searcfor the lost city of Atlantis?

I label your post 'sad' because all that popcorn can't be good for you.

That might be a poor choice. Rumour has it that arks are a bit like nuclear power stations. They take too long to build, and won't be ready when needed. They cost heaps more than promised, and require materials not presently available (you can't get the wood, you know). And nobody wants one built next door.

All future applicants for control tower jobs, must wear a red baseball cap with suitable wording, and undergo a genitalia check. All will be well.

They called it 'alt-time'.

Random thought just for our mate Spacey.... This is proof that the brits had ten hour days and metric clocks in their aircraft back in the 1940's.

Well that is a interesting statement, that in my opinion fails to be true. With respect, Grumps, please clarify what these (ignominious "progressive humanist") policies are? You seem to be saying that current crime rates are a result of governmental policies. I cannot see the connection. Most crime can be traced back to either cultural origin (early education, and upbringing), or mental health. Eg "give me the child for the first 7 years, and I'll show you the man". Nuf said. Not government policy. I'm going back to more productive threads.

About a hundred number 2 flushes per day. Now that's a lotta shit!

We witnessed these creatures from our silent sailing vessel. But we also witnessed a frenzy of humans driving noisy speedboats around the orcas to get a close look. Sound travels remarkably in the water. I totally understand why the Spanish ones are getting even with these annoying humans. I wouldn't be surprised if they start getting agressive here. If they do, I will actively avoid them.

Positives.... We just spent 3 days sailing De Entrecausteau Channel. Beautiful weather. Today the wind was so light we were gliding slowly on glassy water and two Orcas popped up near us. One is a long term resident near the famous 'Iron Pot' at the entrance to Derwent River, Hobart. His name is EA0055 but he deserves a nicer name. We chose to resist the urge to take a cooling dip in the briney.

Basic rule... The higher the temp, the lower a semiconductor's efficiency.

Yes Spacey. It is a heat pump. In cold times it pumps warm air inside. In hot times it pumps warm air outside. There is no such thing as 'cold' . Ther is only heat, of varoius levels

The good lord works in mysterious ways. Ours is not to reason why.

Dont know why but when i tried to post, it didn't seem to go. Sorry for repeating myself
