    Here's a random thought. Is not undergoing a sex change to match your mental identity a bit like changing your foot to fit the shoe?

    If you had a foot you probably would just get it cut down to six inches.

  2. It’s great to see the smiling photo of Albo riding the Cairns Skyrail as his way of helping people impacted by the the NQ floods. He is showing that Cairns residents should ride the Skyrail to Kuranda until the water subsides.

  3. I am surprised that pilots on both sides in WW1 got to 20,000 feet for periods of 10-15 minutes without oxygen. They usually got quite ill at the end of it and some blacked out, to recover in a spin at lower altitudes. By mid 1918 they were using oxygen and patrolling up to 21,000 feet. At the extreme altitudes, a height advantage of 50 feet would determine whether you could bring your guns to bear on the enemy, or stall and spin as you raised the nose.

  4. The political and philosophical arguments are too complex. All Russians are responsible for Putin and all Gazans are responsible for Hamas, and get what they deserve. If Australia ever attacks another country then I will be responsible. What, we did? Then thank goodness we prevailed, as winning trumps morality, as Putin and Hamas both know.
