I'm going to hijack this thread rather than create a new one. My Daughter is currently working tempo for EDF until September when she starts university. Already, they are asking her to stay perm.. the big boss has said to her, her boss will be wearing black in mourning for a week after she leaves. They can't offer her part time work but are amenable to her working during school hols as she gets the job done well. And apparently, she is becoming known at other EDF plants (Remember, these plants, under British Energy, before they were bought out by EDF, were ny clients. I left the industry before British Energy was bought out, but I certainly had nothing to do with them hiring her). She has had to deal with an alleged predator, is used as the benchmark for her role when they are hiring, and is known at other plants by senior people, although having never met them. Her role is administrative support for engineering teams, so it isn't quite in Litespeed's son's world, and she will be doing law, which the world is acutely short of, with the intention of becoming a barrister (and yeah, she wants to make a bit of the spondoolies). Anyway, at Hinkley point, Big Carl plopped the dome atop unit 2: My dughter appears between the 1 hr and 1hr and 5 minute mark. First guess of who she is wins this week's accolades!

Oh, it wasn't that hard to get if you have a modicum of understanding of who the different political parties are 😉

That whole article sums what Cretinton has to offer the world... nothing if substance at all

Correction.. to society in general. Poor education when you consider how much research there has been and the advances in understanding

Sorry - meant to respond earlier.. Yep.. about the only way to do it.. And run an anti-virus.. Surprised Defender didn't pick it up

Both contain all vowels once and in alphabetical order.

Seems to have used negative gearing to deftly

Making reservations

Here is another from the fella above. His camera skills are getting much better, and the drone footage is amazing. I thinkt he drone shot chasing the kangaroos is stock footage, personally.. He also probably is using AI to generate the music, too.. Or maybe he has some ardent followers. Although I am no s fan of the country genre ingeneral, I really enjoyed this one, albeit a bit of a schmulzy start: And, although I know road trains and trucking in Aus, in general isn't all nice and easy and there are some shippy times, if I had fo seen these vids when I was younger, I may well have taken a totally difference occupational path.

She is sort of well known in statistical circles (pardon the pun)

It's better than the alternative..

thanks, @onetrack - I couldn't remember if he owned it or not, but when I was getting my UK PPL at Elstree, he was still flying and quite a legend - although I never met the man. It was the shittiest aiirfield I had ever flown from by a long mile, and that includes a couple of gravel strips in Vic (Melton and Coldstream).. The CAA closed it as the runway (bitumen) had potholes big enough to rattle a road train. At the eatern end of the runway, there was a row of, as I recall, pine trees, that got the heart racing a bit when taking off, especially when it was hot. And, because I already had an Aussie PPL, I went for the cheapest school on C150s that were so tired, there were days that we decided not to go as the margin for error over those trees was not great. I binned that school in the end and went for a field closer to home. More expensive per hour, but done a lot quicker.

A Juicy Burger? Ol' Flo Nigthingale, I guess?

I can't remember the name of the fella, but apparently he owned Elstree airport north of London and he was able to fly solo until well into his 90s.. I think about 94... He had to have a medical either quarterly or monthly, which included the ECG. Eventually he had to have a safety pilot with him, but he could still be the commander. He eventually had to hang up his headsets and I think died not too long after. Bob Hoover was still going strong at 77 doing his aerobatic routine in the Commander, I think it was. He was still OK flying, but apparently couldn't get insurance for his airshows.

Yes, I understand that... These are more designed to test how you act under pressure... The problem is I read the lowest and immediately thought imposiible.. Double checked the question text, figured they meant above, but, hey, it's fun to find the real answer to the question.

A bit of an "Aussie" development: Lets hope, evne though Anduril is the manufacturer, Aussie business aslo get some of the cake.

Hmmm.. There is no answer as it is infininte. For example, negative ten is lowe number after one that begins with the last letter of the number preceding it (on the number scale). And they keep going lower than that for negative infinite. If they wanted te next positive number after one, then they should have said that, or at least said "the lowest number above one..." Nice trick question.

They're campsites for a weekend escape

Ya gotta luv the English sense of humour when naming places:

Getting back to your point @pmccarthy, it isn't communism that is the issue for Australia; it is the structure of the economy and dumb policy decisions made by both governments and large corporations. I think this is an interesting video of Jack Ma, who founded Alibaba. Its where the economy invests. Australia, like America makes poor choices when it comes to investments, driven by shorter term greed rather than longer term returns.. It isn't a race to the bottom. Yeah, cheap labour and other inputs makes you competitive, but Chinese average earnigns are starting to increase: That latest numbers equates to about $17k USD, which is still low, but look at the trajectory. And like Japan, as the economy really matures (it is considered emerging still)), its currency will appreciate and it will lose its competitive edge. But what has China beein doing? Investing in developing new technology in many secotrs, including engineering and tooling to automate manufacture and make it cheaper to deliver with increasing labour costs. What did Australia and the USA do with their massive profits? You can have a well functioning economy with decent wages for employees to maintain a connected, healthy and motivated workforce, who may bring some ingenuity to the table, too. China isn't perfect by any stretch and they have advantages of a central (communist, I believe) power regime to not totally vested interests get the better of its objectives.

Huh? How do yo even get the left side of the brain being conservative. The very definition of conservatism is, and I am quoting Mr. Google: Look at the first definition and even the second definition ties into the first.. "Oppostion to change or innovation" The left side of the brain: So, the left side of the brain is about language, logic, and analytical thinking.. Reasoning, and mathemoatical capability. These are facets of pregressiveness and innovation. I work in a mathemagical field, and it is largely innovative. That is not to say all progression and innovation is correct, either.. that is not what I am talking about.. But clearly, either your definition of politically right isn't the same as what most people think it is, or, to be quite honest, I have no idea how you justify most of your assertions. On reflection, I don't really care.. you're entitled to your opinion based on your view of the facts. Heck, your view may be more valid than mine. But so far, you haven't proffered any facts to support your stance. We are all open eyes and ears.. Have a shot at it. Google is your friend (or until you provide facts, foe, at the moment.)

They may as well.

Don't buy it... simples..
