M I used to think that solar panels needed full sun. But my biggest surprise is seeing useful energy whilst it is overcast and drizzling. Sure is is only a tenth or so of the maximum. But that is still useful and free energy. Recent mostly rainy winters days have provided up to 8kwh a day from a old 3kw system. It had paid for itself about 3 years ago.

Another one to ponder

If solar sheep are a new product, solar reindeer shouldn't give santa any range anxiety.

I give up. I presented a logical observation. And nobody took up a debate on what should be a contentious issue. I am so disappointed.

I can't wait to see the glittering new "Trump Class" vessels. They will be part of the all new Golden Fleet. i'm sure he is making Mexico pay for the gold plating. tRump's superior intellect will redesign their ugly old vessels. " more closely adhere to Trump’s aesthetic standards. “I’m not a fan of some of the ships you do. I’m a very aesthetic person and I don’t like some of the ships you’re doing aesthetically,” Trump told an assemblage of military brass gathered at Quantico earlier this year. “They say, ‘Oh, it’s stealth.’ I say that’s not stealth. An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you’re stealth,” he said. Oh, wow.

Sometimes it's hard to tell. Even with some of yours. But some things are clearly a joke. Take USA administration. That's a joke. And believing that Epstein's death was guilt inspired suicide is as likely as my ridiculous pretend conspiracy theory.

Joke, Nev

Aaah the delightful ambiguity of communicating by short text. So many ways to misinterpret. And that's when the fights start.

On a lighter note.... A revolutionary play that casts Jesus as a trans woman Jo Clifford debuted "The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven" ten years ago. She never predicted it would become a rallying cry for LGBTQ rights in Brazil https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/43680/1/jo-clifford-the-gospel-according-to-jesus-queen-of-heaven-trans-lgbtq-play The premise is:- "Supposing Jesus was born of a virgin, fathered by the Holy Spirit. No genetic material arrived. Jesus could have only inherited XX chromosomes. We are told that Jesus was the perfect MAN. Given that he has female chromosomes would he have really been the first perfect transMAN?"

Not surprising. Cameras probably installed by the lowest price contractor. (Using chinese parts & rusky software)

That's the only option I can see. I doubt that Ian would suggest our lot have "Normal Intel".

No need to if he borrowed the neighbour's goats.

Black lines scream "incriminating". Call me a conspiracy theorist. I reckon there is more to hide, than a sex scandal. Everyone already knew that old mate Gropenfuhrer seems proud to be a sex offender.

Oh, I thought A.I. stood for 'Average Idiot'. (My level) Darn these acronyms!

Clearly A.I. And a cynical take on xmas carols that endorse. "Peace & Goodwill to all Men" Nobody seems to sing xmas songs that wish for Peace & Goodwill to Women or children". And that bothers me.

Something doesn't seem right. What is wrong with this picture?

Hooray! The Epstein files are being released! And look what we learned....

At this stage I think nobody cares about Trump. The world (yes even MAGAts) has got Trumpfatigue. And the world has now started to develop a vague fear of finding out what a naked unrestricted republican party might do, post Trump.

Is that why politicians don't generally become effective terrorists? Nothing they do surprises me, and few know when to shut up.

Help me out here. What was the hidden message in it? PS I don't have a psych degree (but my darling wife does)

If you had told me yesterday Ida come over and sorted it forya.

A difficult task - but the only fix for the problem. I venture to suggest that nobody in their right mind, goes around shooting people. And guns are the only tools designed specifically for mass killing. Improving mental health, coupled with psych tests prior to granting gun licences would be a good start. Major penalties for any person found in possession of an unlicenced weapon, would help too.

Did I miss something there? Was I condemning, casting stones, or sinning? I stated my opinion. That's all. It's just my own opinion. Nobody has to like it. If you don't like that opinion I can offer you others.

Too late. Somebody already wote.. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

I don't expect the employer (taxpayers) to pay for family airfares, etc. When I spent 20yrs travelling for work, my wage was somewhat higher than city based equivalents. Sometimes I delayed my return at the end of a project. I paid my wife's airfare to join me for the weekend. I paid the extra couple of days at the hotel. I was a mere technician but I did this to maintain some work/life balance, to make up a bit for my absence from home. I didn't think it fair to expect my employer to pay for that. Many jobs put stress on home life. Politician or bureaucrat is just one such job.
