Perhaps the 2PP concept is out of date. The Greens, ON, Teals and unaligned Independents may be changing that. Perhaps we could end up like some European countries where no Party can gain a majority and must seek coalition partners, thereby watering down each Party's raison d'etre.

Nobody took his $5000 bonus for a Republican win seriusly, so he tries to bribe with the very thing that Yanks need above all else - automotive fuel. The Roman Emperors gave bread and circuses. Tump has a bigger circus that P T Barnum and the contemporary bread is automotive fuel.

I agree with that. What caused me to pose the question was how would a pilot know how high the aircraft actually was aove ground if the DA gave a calculated location that was below ground level.

I distract them by throwing in a packet of condoms.

I fully agree that temperature affects DP from sea level upwards, but in my question I was only considering air pressure at a stated temperature. Obviously the 2 degree/1000 ft cannot apply to an altitude below AMSL, unless you are doing a water landing on the Dead Sea. The upper value of the Kollsman scale on an altimeter is 31 inches of mercury is equal to about 1,050 millibars.

Nah. It's the weekend and this place goes quiet over teh weekend.

I do wash my hair with a detergent occasionally. I use Johnson's Baby Shampoo since I figure that would be the least aggressive hair wshing product. And it doesn't give me tears!

Well, that's a good reason for the ATO to object. Can't complain about that can we? But for yonks the user of the credit card paid a surcharge to the retailer. Aldi has been doing that forever.

I should have stated that the temperature to use was 15C, and to ignore temperature differences due to altitude since that would not come into the calculation in this example. The DA in this case would only be affected by air pressure. I wonder how operations were conducted when an altimeter was not really useful. I doubt if an altimeter sub-scale would go to 1040.

If a business needs to pay the ATO money, probably from its BAS, what does it matter if the money is paid by digital transfer directly from a bank account; a transfer of moeny from a debit card, or the use of a credit card.? The ATO had got its pound of flesh. Am I correct in thnking that if money was paid by a business using a credit card, then any interest charged by the credit card operator would be a legitimate tax deduction for the credit card holder? Would that be why the ATO doesn't want businesses paying by credit card??????

Sounds a bit of a re-run of Hewson and the birthday cake.

I was expecting you, Nev, to have your whizz wheel close by to enable you to give me an answer. Maybe you'll have it by tomorrow morning. I'm going to bed now. Goog Night

I've forgotten how to use my whizz-wheel to calculate Density Altitude, so could someone answer my this, please? A few weeks ago, a deep High Pressure system moved across South Ausralia and Victoria. I saw a pressure reading of something like 1040 hecto-thingies. If that was the airpressure, and the OAT was, say 15C, ignoring Moorabbin's height of 50 ft AMSL, what would the density height be with those meteorological conditions?

I wonder if the experioince would be like an infant learning to speak. First they hear sound, but soon learn the meaning behind those sounds. Perhaps a person could start listening to a language that was not their naive one and learn to speak that language. Has your speech been affected? I mean, can your spoken words still be understood as they were before yoiur hearing failed?

Better still, do not use any detergents on your hair at all. Sounds completely unhygenic, but all you really need to do to keep your hair and scalp clean is to wash it regularly in clean water. If you decisde to go shampooless, it will take about four to six weeks of regular washing with water before your hair (those who have it!) will be kept in good condition from the oils that shampooing has previously removed. Also, stopping the use of shampoos is most likely to prevent the skin of your scalp from drying which is what dandruff is. Your hair will be softer because it is not being stuck together by the goop in conditioner. .

Vance sounds like he is endorsing eugenics.

Can you get WiFi with that?

Get your Cool-Aid.

Have you noticed that in many cases, the electricity to power these massive data centres is generated by diesel powered generators? There's an irony in that which is hard to describe.

Swap one letter and the sound is different - Wound Would

Does that mean that if you don't have a passport, you can't open a bank account? I have a photo licence, Medicare card and penrion card. Would that be enough?

Victorian era extravagence. I wonder if Trump has seen this clip? It might inspire him to greater things.

Lovely!, he said sarcastically.

I wish the Media would publish some stories about the positive side of AI. It has been used for good in some areas, otherwise it would not still be being used and developed. What about some good news stories of how it has helped research? Obviously the Media's culture is to publish only the dystopian stories about anything.

What's a suburban football field without a concrete cricket pitch on halfway? Covered in winter with dirt so that it became a quagmire after winter rains.
