This photo will possibly trade mark the moment when Trump won the election. They'll squeeze every last vote out of it. If anything, the shooting will drive a push for a higher Republican voter turn-out in November. They will try to get every last Trump supporter to show up at the poll with the slogan "Remember what they did to your President!".

I guess those were his words. These T-shirts have gone on sale with profits to go to the Trump campaign.

Donald doesn't let an opportunity go by. He had the Secret Service surrounding him on stage and trying to get him off stage. In the footage you can hear him say "wait,wait, wait!", then he turns to the camera and does a series of fist pumps and what sounds and looks like the words "fight, fight, fight!".

Jill is walking that fine line between supporting his run for President and pushing his run for President. I think if she gave him a tap on the shoulder, Joe would call it a day but she seems to relish the limelight a little too much for my liking. He might have a chance of winning but it's increasingly looking like elder abuse. He has his good days, but just not enough of them for a job like that. And yes, I know the yeahbuts and whatabouts are going to think what about Trump, but that still doesn't excuse Biden's lack of suitability as a candidate for another four year term as President. He's had enough of a battle getting through this term let alone being able to handle another four years. The Democrats are running out of time to sort it out.

The climate change debate continues.

You would think it would have potential on economy of scale alone. The 320 MW supply contract they mention is the equivalent of around 100 wind turbines of the approximate size they are using these days. -
Obviously joking in the above post just to clarify, but now they're giving him some flak for calling Kamala Harris Vice President Trump. In context it was in answer to whether Harris could beat Trump in the election if she was the nominee, so the two names were mixed into the one question. It's not like the word Trump just popped into his head.

Joe is sending weapons to one of them with usage restrictions to protect the airbases and military installations of the other, so it's not surprising he confuses the two of them.

Nev, the blades on some of the farms like Cooper's Gap are 70 metres long. A Mi-26 would be the only one with any chance of lifting one. -
They have a similar thing in Indonesia. I forget the words but they translate to rubber time, meaning flexible time. You see it written for some routes on blackboard timetables at bus stations.

Trump's post debate ad:

It would have been a good project if it had worked out. The idea was to power the nearby uranium mine.
-
At the Paralana project, the rock had a high uranium and thorium content giving it a high heat production rate. Modelling suggested a temperature of 200°C at 4,000 metres which was approximately the original planned TD. That's about twice the depth of the average oil or gas well in that sort of country.
-
spacey, if you're talking about the Paralana project east of the Beverley uranium mine, it was shelved due to lack of funding as far as I know. Petratherm was a small company with limited finances. They had a 24 million dollar Renewable Energy Development Program grant but couldn't raise the other 5 million they needed despite achieving a reasonable amount of technical success. Beach was the operating partner. I was there in 2011 putting in an earth tank to hold water for the scheduled drilling of the second well. I don't know how far they got with proof of concept as it was shelved in 2014 as you say. I found this photo I took in 2011 of the well (with old Gerty in the background). There wasn't much there at the time, just the capped well, a genset and fuel tank, and a shipping container set up as a small office with computers and gear for a passive seismic array. The best part of that job was staying at the Beverley mine. Talk about luxury.

Outgoing Conservative MP Sir Robert Buckland is fed up with his mob and said "I'm fed up of personal agendas and jockeying for position, the truth is now — with the Conservatives facing this electoral Armageddon — it's going to be like a group of bald men arguing over a comb". Sounds like a good description.

The F-111 engines were a no-no as ours were basically the same engine as in the Iranian Tomcats as far as I can remember. Amberely has an engine on display but it's heavily cut away for demonstration purposes and it's on an air base. I don't think any civilian museums were allowed any F-111 engines or engine components. The Iranians would probably like to get hold of a few spare parts. They were the only country outside the U.S. that received the F-14, so there's not many sources for parts.
-
It's always possible the U.S. has set the limit of 8 de-mil'd museum offerings. Either way, the defence department refuses to give their reasons, even though they did apologise for overlooking the original expressions of interest. Whether or not it's the U.S. setting the number at eight or our defence department doing it might not ever be known. There is a FOI request in but it may not be successful. You would think it would be a simple matter for our department to say the limit is set by the Americans and it's out of their hands if that was the case, but instead they are just not answering.
-
Even HARS and the department's own museum at Amberley didn't get a Hornet. Here's three of them on their way to be buried:

Here's my gripe: the Defence Department flatly refuses to allow Queensland to have a Hornet for museum display and preservation, yet they are burying forty of them in... you guessed it, Queensland. Only eight have been allocated to museums around the nation and they won't budge on that number.

The Russians have gone all Mad Max lately but their motorcycle wave assaults have been failing badly. It doesn't work but they keep doing it.

I seem to be missing something here. The way I read the court decision is that there is immunity from criminal prosecution (and I assume civil) for official acts but not for unofficial acts. I don't know if it would influence impeachment as it's not criminal or civil prosecution and the penalty for a guilty impeachment verdict is removal from office only.
