The climate change debate continues.
old man emu replied to Phil Perry's topic in Science and Technology
On the 28th February 2027, residential rental availability in Victoria will plummet. -
Trump will be known as America's Nero, except Trump played golf while the whole world burned.
-
Yep. Current wind, temp, humidity etc that was available on the old version.
-
No, not a red herring. Your reference confirms its presence. The inferrence was that, while construction ws going on, the bunker might not be in service. Obviously a temporary facility would be available.
-
Wind and temperature at BOM weather stations. Can't say anything about rainfall as it's not present today.
-
Its presence was referenced in a reporter's question to Levitt. She said it would be made better.
-
12:15 24/10 just had a play with it. Bloody hopeless lack of information compared to the old format. And the old page has been replaced with the new one.

so how do I get the radar images I am used to seeing? How do I get to the radar images on the new site?
-
Remember this?

Trump has displayed artists' impressions of the interior of the ballroom. I wonder if there are any actual plan drawings for the construction of the building. I mean the sort of plans that show how coponents fit together to make the building and for the routing of power and water. Given the size of the building, is it possible for it to be constructed within the next three years remaining of Trump's presidency? What happens if he should die, which is something that comes to all of us? Once commenced, the job would have to be carried on to completion, otherwise the national symbolism of the White House will be lost. If the next President is a Democrat, the ballroom will be a millstone around the neck of the next Administration. Did you know that there was a security bunker under the East Wing, sort of a war room. Has that been demolished?
-
I just want to be able to view the radar image from the surrounding sites so that I can estimate what is likely to happen in the next few hours. Previously I have rarely looked at any other information in the old site because I usually only want present information. I will look at the 4 day forecast maps to gain an impression of future weather.
-
Just had a look using Octave's link and getting to my area. Where's the radar? I can't see the progress of rain events without the radar. Nor can I see the 4-day weather maps.
-
It is reported in several places that the demolishing of the East Wing is contrary to a number of regulations etc., including those relating to the preservation of historic structures. Trump has attacked the White House in the same way that Netinyahu hs destroyed Gaza. There have been calls for Trump to stop the demolision, but what's the point? The damage has been done. If someone put a bullet into Trump, the person coudld reasonably argue that it was not murder, but the application of the spitir of the 2nd Amendment.

Whatever Albo and Trump signed in the way of AUKUS and minerals agreements are not actually binding. More like "feel good" press releases. The new Prime Minister of Japan has just torn up an agreement her predecessor signed with Trump because the terms of the agreement robbed Japan of sovereignty over the money Japan was supposed to invest in the USA. That's a big blow to US/Japan relations and some see it as Japan backing away from the USA.
-
I see that the unbiased conservative press is calling for Rudd's recall. Who do you think lead the discussions that lead to the confirmation of the AUKUS and minerals deals? It was Australia's Ambassador to the USA - one Kevin Rudd. Rudd has more diplomatic skill in a hair on his arse than Trump's whole Executive.

Do you remember the half-giant who is the gamekeeper and groundskeeper at the wizarding school Hogwarts? His surname is Hagrid. Hag-ridden seems to have first appeard in literature in the 1680s, meaning "ridden by hags or witches". It changed meaning a bit so that from 1702 it had the meaning "oppressed, or harassed". By 1758 it came to mean "afflicted by nightmares". At some time hagridden was a term term for sleep paralysis (the sensation of being held immobile in bed, often by a heavy weight, and accompanied by a sense of alien presence). J.K.Rowling took a bit of leeway when she said it means "you'd had a bad night" and she explained that Hagrid "has a lot of bad nights" due to his heavy drinking. Alcohol is not necessarily the only reason for being hag-ridden. Any number of stressful life events can affect one's dreaming, leading to frightening dreams resulting in one waking hag-ridden.

Happy Birthday. And adfter SpecSavers, let's hope you see a lot more of them.

Therein lies the rub! You might have been astute enough to take a lot of control of your superannuation investment, but the vast majority of Australians don't even know which organisation is running the fund their employers are using. I paid into a fund for near on 30 years. I don't know who ran it, or where the money was invested. How much of my money contributed to the betterment of Australia?
-
Give Rudd his due. He holds a diplomatic post, maintaining relationships with the US Government, not just the Executive Branch. He has ben involved in international diplomacy for years. He knows what Trump is. Rudd also knows that in diplomacy, personal feelings have to be supressed. Imagine the furore if Rudd had said something like, "that puts me amongst the millions across America who marched in protest last weekend". Rudd's reactions to Trump's statement can be seen as an effort by Rudd to bite his tongue in the interests of Australia.
-
Yes, but over the years that your money has been invested overseas, it has not been used to develop Australia.

Crackdown on "Sovereign Citizens" in W.A.
old man emu replied to onetrack's topic in General Discussion
Have a look at this video. Notice that it was produced in San Antonio, Texas. -
Intersting coments about personal experiences, BUT my point relates to the money that Australians aree putting into superannuation is not being invested in things to improve Australia's future. It's going to line the pockets of foreigners by allowing them to invest in money-making projects and returning a pittance on the capital our sweat is producing.
-
Good, bad or indifferent, Australian workers benefit from having money in superannuation funds. The money might only be that compulsorily contributed by employers, or it could also include their own contributions. Considering the size of the Australian workforce, and the amount paid in wages and salaries, the amount of money going into superannuation annually is incredible. The problem for fund managers is how to use that money to cover administration costs and to keep head of inflation. The obvious answer is to invest the money. But invest in what? And here is the source of what I am calling a scam. It was announced during the meeting between Albo and Trump that within a few years aroung one trillion dollars from Australian's superannuation would be invested in the USA. Why should our money go to bolster the economy of another country? There's lots of income-producing things that we have not implemented simply becasue the start-up money wasn't there. We just signed a deal with the USA to supply the metals required to make electonics etc. Why not use that superannuation money to establish a refining industry. Why are raw iron ore and coal exported for steel production elsewhere when it could be value added here? The same holds for our wool, and cotton and other agricultural products. What about re-establishing petroleum refining so that we can lift our storage capacity to beyond 25 days? Charity begins at home, so why don't we start being charitable to our kids and grandkids by keeping the money our efforts have created here in Australia?
-
Getting back to Trump. During his meeting with Albo and the subsequent question time, Trump undiplomaticaly said that he did not like Australia's Ambassador to the USA - Rudd. No doubt that Rudd thought, 'right back at ya!"

Who should pay for kangaroo damage?
old man emu replied to Grumpy Old Nasho's topic in General Discussion
In New South Wales, this applies: UNIFORM CIVIL PROCEDURE RULES 2005 - REG 10.20 (2)(b) any originating process in the Local Court must be served in one of the following ways-- (ii) it may be left, addressed to the defendant, at the defendant's business or residential address, with a person who is apparently of or above the age of 16 years and apparently employed or residing at that address, Therefore a document could be addresses to the location of a church (God's House) and left with a member of the clergy since clergy may apparently be employed at the church. However, in terms of employment of clergy, there is some argument at Law whether clergy are actually employees.
