@TeWaio said in Climate Change:

This is absolutely correct (I have disagreed with @Winger a lot in this thread, and here I am agreeing twice in 24hrs );

I thought at first your account had been hacked

And thanks for your excellent posts. I've lost interest in all of this in recent years but the direction we are travelling due to climate change is very concerning. Especially as some predict we are heading into a cold period (due to a much less active sun). Colder and less food and energy ...

@Winger ok.

I think the major question really is a combination of

Is Israel committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza Is Gaza a Hamas stronghold or does the average Gaza Palestinian hate Hamas and what they do Does Hamas open idealogy of committing genocide against Jews validate Israel's actions so far

@booboo Or read the letter he wrote to a school boy ...

I have younger lads I play sport with. Never touched a ciggie, chronic vapers.

Yeah that seems to be the issue

As with most here, j sometimes despair at the quality of politicians we have, I’d like to say a word today about Kemi Badenoch, totally on top of her brief, has done the work, has been brave in doing so. Genuine leadership in a tricky area and what a contrast to the likes of AOC who have embarrassed themselves on the subject in recent days

The grown ups have entered the conversation in parliament today. Kemi Badenoch has been brilliant at the Despatch Box today, crystal clear, picked up the key issues, dealt brilliantly with questions. A good summary below:

Dennis Noel Kavanagh on Twitter

Yep, found it.

Amazing that it took the riots for somebody to actually start saying something.

Riots work? Worrying.

@dogmeat said in High crimes in Warkworth:

DAMN - when I read the title, I thought this thread would have a lot more mention of cellars!

Same.

@MiketheSnow Ignoring the funny tampon story and focusing on the "race" dialogue. Dumb fucks arguing about dumb things. They say the woke left are racist (which they clearly seem to be) by using the same categories/similar ideology but arguing from a more conservative stance. Both pig-shit stupid.

The allegations being investigated by Scotland Yard are understood to be different to those detailed by The Times and The Sunday Times.

Probably been going on the whole time but we were told it was only happening in Russia.
Me thinks a shitty peace deal massively favoring Putin is coming.

Swimming rivers and faking illness to escape Ukraine’s draft Swimming rivers and faking illness to escape Ukraine’s draft

After Russia's invasion, most Ukrainian men were banned from leaving, but many are escaping abroad.

Just to clarify, this thread is for discussing Musks purchase of twitter and changes he's making to that platform.

Brilliant public speaker.

Good looking man. Still young (44). Attractive wife

As long as the election isn't rigged (very likely) he should romp home

@NTA said in Future Of Energy - Ukraine Spin Off:

Oh another thing: smart home control can also extend to devices like your car charger. If it knows when you have excess solar or offpeak power available, it can use that rather than peak grid tariffs. My battery has a smart controller than can pull in cheap power overnight, for example, and apparently it is EV-ready.

Have you thought about moving into the energy/utilities IT field? the analysts used to get paid a bomb (not sure about now) and you sound more knowledgeable than them (well the ones I worked with).

I kind of work parallel to our company's energy team in the data area from the corporate consumer side. I thought about going fulltime into the energy bit but got lazy 😀

@Tim said in China:

@voodoo well it ain't good

Tahi bar next Friday then?

@Victor-Meldrew Why not. Everyone else was.

Joyce's final shenanigans reminded me of the other name for Qantas. Google tells me there's even related merchandise. I'm far too easily amused...

All my other bags have been lost by the airline
