Getting nugget on the goolies used to be the groom's night out.

Easy come, easy go.

I am sentimental about gold.

Many natural elements such as arsenic are poisonous forever and have no half-life. Thousands, perhaps millions of tonnes of arsenic are produced every year in processing ores of copper and gold alone. It is safely managed and disposed of.

Too many EVs that the market doesn't want.

In 70 years and with a total of 667 nuclear power plants that have ever operated, only three major accidents have taken place. Using the official internationally-recognized death statistics for Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima, the combined loss of lives from the three major nuclear accidents is 32 people. In fact, estimates on the number of deaths caused by the nuclear energy sector overall is 90 per 1000TWh—the least of any energy sector.

The Reserve Bank of Australia sold Australia's gold reserves in 1997. The RBA reduced its gold holdings from 247 tonnes to 80 tonnes, netting approximately $2.4 billion from the sale. This decision was made due to the cost of holding gold and the potential for higher returns from other investments. Clever, weren't they? Today that 167 tonnes would be worth $26.9 billion.

This morning the Age gives the latest IEA forecast that under current policies global oil and gas consumption will continue to increase to 2050 and beyond. Coal consumption will peak in the 2030s. Those are realities that Albo should consider when committing us to immediate sacrifices that the rest of the world are not making.

You clearly like to keep abreast of things.

On Trump and America I agree. China is a 'developing country,' and they say they will always be a developing country. Under UN rules China can do whatever they want. They don’t have to adhere to any binding targets. That’s the official Chinese position. They are building wind farms and solar farms, but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to their increasing fossil fuel consumption.

The problem is that you will probably have to defend yourself in court. The time and cost for a successful legal defence will transform your life, when all you did was physically defend yourself.

The greed began with Al Gore, at least that is where I first saw it, when he planned to make a fortune trading carbon credits and made a movie to scare us into buying them. The whole climate industry is about dollars, making money for big, vested interests, and about Russian and Iranian and Chinese propaganda and dark ops to destroy the west. I have solar panels on my roof - that is not what this debate is about. Chinese coal consumption increases every year and will continue to do so. They are laughing at us.

Then read today’s Australian with heading about gross exaggerations in the climate change report. But of course …it’s Murdoch, so you won't. Why can't you guys see a big political lie when it is so open and brazen? It wouldn’t matter except for the damage we are doing to our environment and economy and industrial capability right now because someone has convinced us to believe in witches and demons.

Our government is going to destroy our economy for no reason. It will make not one iota of difference to the temperature or climate of Australia.

If he had shot school children they would have forgotten by now.

Living in a granite house is a risk from the radioactivity. Or in a cave in igneous rocks. You need lead underpants.

When I was a kid you could get a straw that turned plain milk into chocolate milk as you sucked it through.

I have noticed the higher I fly, the more radioactivity there is. Particularly on the HF band.

Israel has citizens of many faiths, they are all supported. Their enemies lie outside their gates. I am incensed at the lies and distortions promulgated by the antisemites.
-
He is the only world leader that I would vote for at present. He is defending his people and ignoring the crap that others are talking about him. We need leaders who will do that. I cannot comprehend how antisemitism has risen again after all we know about its history.

Today I was given a badge for the workers industrial union of Australia, afternoon shift 1985. That is about ten years after I left the union, but it still gave me a warm feeling. Warm that I am no longer working shifts.

It’s dictator Dan, and I think he would enjoy mass murder.
