Grumpy Old Nasho

Off topic just for a moment. My Dad's prototype soldering iron, and put to use to do his radio repair work. It was rescued after he passed in the Ninties, along with other stuff. Not long before he died, he showed me the patent certificate. In the early fifties, Sherline in South Australia asked him, by letter, if they could manufacture it. He never replied, I'm not sure why, but knowing Dad, he just got lazy. Sherline waited the sixteen years and claimed the right to make the soldering iron. Other interesting facts about my Dad is he had one of the very rare VW Kombi Microbuses with split front seats. And he made an electronic ignition in the mid Sixties before they became common. It was a hobby project, but he fitted it to a customer's/friend's truck and that truck went many miles before Dad removed it and reinstalled the old contact distributor points. In other words, his electronic ignition worked a beauty.

Thanks

How can I put a signature below my posts? For example like facthunter's "Never stop learning"

My dad made a few quid re-grooving bald tyres. He made the stand for the wheel to revolve on by hand, and he made the electric groover which was like a large electric soldering iron but instead of having a copper tip, he made a "U" shaped steel tip for it. As kids we used watch the long strips of rubber stream down as he went around the tyre. My dad also invented the Sherline soldering iron, where the solder wire was pulled along by a trigger over the top of the tip.

That's a matter of opinion.

No, I'm not a troll. Some of us are against Trump, and some are for Trump. These things are put here to try us, we must keep ducking and weaving. These are turbulent times for Alpha males to deal with. Beta rainbow males will have to stand aside for a while.

Which questions? I'm here to help to eliminate trauma from patients and their loved ones minds caused by inconsiderate and inhuman staff, manages, doctors, and anyone else who mistreats patients. I'm proposing that the Super Medical Troubleshooting Team is necessary for swift and just redress of failed practices and failed attitudes in the medical industry. At present, we can't see those failed practices and failed attitudes because we have been blinded by political rhetoric and self brainwashing.

You can't blame him can you? Look how we treat the US. Some criticism is justified for it's actions in recent decades, but President Trump is there to help build trust in the US again. Things will look bad until they look good again. Like a smashed car being repaired - Got it?

It's for potential patients like yourself who might be inhumanly treated yet don't know they are being inhumanly treated. A Super Team member will have the power and authority to do random interviews of patients and staff and managers. Anyone who interferes with the work of a Super Team member will face prosecution. Just because we somehow think we have the "best" medical care in the World, doesn't mean we have. The term "Best Practice" will be totally banned, until it's use is fully and correctly understood, and not used to hoodwink the Public. Until then, it's only BS. I will take all the slings and arrows, to make Australia great again, if it ever was.

All very childish. But if you end up doing something that makes Australia stronger, then Trump wants that too. A strong Ally.

No, that super team is for you, the ordinary patient, to provide justice and the human way, acting in your best interest.

That's right! So now you must adapt to one more change. The effects of the new Trump administration. Roll with the punches and keep going.

First clue for new Health Policy, or part thereof - A beautiful all powerful highly paid Super Medical Troubleshooting team. With authority to sack just about anyone, hospital managers and staff, doctors both public and private, government ministers in health portfolios, health insurance company CEOs. That's all for the time being, absorb that bit first.

I have another big beautiful policy to announce soon, relating to the medical industry. You'll love this one.

I believe Australia was planning de-industrialization back in the sixties, then the plan was carried out in the 70s and 80s. We were told to "re-train" to do something else - remember that?

Yeah like no one here knew where Vietnam was.

Putin is agreeing to ceasefire terms. Not long to go now before the fighting ceases.

Yeah well Albo wants to start it up again, presumably so we don't have to pay tariffs on imported goods.

Guess what? Albo is pushing for Australian manufacturing. Why was it stopped in the 70s and 80s? Our domestic market was too small everyone reckoned, but it's not too small now is it?, just ask Albo. Does anyone know what they're doing in Canberra?

She didn't have to travel overseas, the major parties are making us feel self pity about our situation they've got us into. You can see now what happens when an ally is not strong and independent in itself. We've relied on the United States, and dependent on it for far too long. It's become second nature and has controlled our mindset.

No, Trump is a benevolent but inadvertent eugenicist, with a great need to maintain maximum freedom for his fellow Americans.

You think it's any better for veterans here onetrack? Look in your own backyard first. Matt Keogh just said, "Australian veterans won't be getting the generous medical treatment US veterans get. We've got to look at treatment for veterans in Australia from an Australian context" We all know what that means, don't we? Very selective treatment for a select few veterans. That's what it means. This is in spite of what Trump's doing, Trump is cutting costs. But US veterans still get treatment as always. Keogh is only shunning ours. If you think Trump is bad, then Keogh is a miserly bastard who sees veterans as political mileage for the Labor party.

The tariffs on aluminium and steel wouldn't be much in terms of total cost to Australia because not much of those products go to the US. Albanese would have been brought up to speed by the multinationals that produce them here, with an assertion that they know best how to handle Trump and Albo needn't worry his little head over it. I could tell all along that those tariffs weren't going to affect Australia greatly, and Albo has just reassured us by saying there's no need for Aust to reciprocate. So there you go.

I thought that myself, but it's more than my village gets. Aboriginals in remote locations have helicopters fly in as mobile polling booths, and us whities in here in our villages don't count at all. We should paint ourselves black, then we might get something.

The AEC stipulates 16kms round trip, I'm blowed if I'm gunna travel 74kms total. If they could set up a polling booth for this bloke, they can surely bring one closer to my village.
