I'll have what he's having.

What the hell did Mamdani do? It's like magic.

This had the same feeling as when what's his name opened that safe.

Fox haven't been getting much good news lately.

GMT is UK only.

UTC is derived from TAI which is an international atomic clock standard.

Time zones are just offsets to/from UTC.

2025-11-22T03:06+11 (my current timezone offset, AEDT) is exactly the same time as 2025-11-21T16:06Z

The 24 hour clock is independent of time zones.

Europeans use 24 hour clocks in both civilian and military uses.

UTC is the base time zone, with all other timezones offset to that.

UTC is *not* GMT, it is derived from TAI which is the atomic clock standard.

People throw out the word terrorism now for any criminal act. Crazy people with guns are rarely terrorists.

Terrorism is specifically violence in order to promote fear and a particular political or religious point of view.

These people were just off-their-brains on conspiracy theories.

All terrorism is violent, not all violence is terrorism.

It's a fair concern that the NT government doesn't deliver energy security to its communities, but blaming Sun Cable for farming solar for export is like blaming a cattle station for not supply "beef security" to communities.

The communities in the region need micro-solar+storage for security.

Excuse me, I'm a boomer and it was the Whitlam generation that increased social equity.
It was the Fraser/Keating/Howard era that stripped that equity, ie Boomers in power. Free uni became HECS, housing became "investment" etc.
Now, boomers/GenX are fading away, and millenials/GenZ will start again.

You know you're getting old when:

* You can't really do the first one
* The second are all prescription and boring
* The third is playing on the "Golden Oldies" radio station and you still listen to FM radio.

From an economics point of view, how would we establish an actual "well-functioning market for health insurance" when the misnamed "insurance" is actually "How do I buy a health plan that provides coverage for both ongoing healthy preventative care as well as for medical or surgical interventions?"

"execute" implies some sort of legal framework that allows the US military to murder individuals without evidence.

The correct term is "murder".

It's sort of funny that Ferrari had to create a completely artificial noise and unnecessary simulated gears.

Someone needs to invent something for EVs that provides the same visceral experience that the sort of people who buy Ferraris want.

But without faking the old ICE stuff.

We also have government rebates for household battery storage as well now because rooftop solar has so much penetration in our markets.

This plan is actually to "soak up" the excess solar that is available at peak sunshine periods during the day that is currently "wasted".

That's how it is likely to work here in Australia.

People will be able to select plans that have free periods and varying rates per kWh during the day.

No, you have an electricity plan with your retailer.
People without solar will be able to get plans with free power at peak solar generation times in the day to actually use up excess solar.
People with solar get paid for their power, but not much in those peak hours, because the power isn't needed.

It should have been resolved in Parliament. The Senate was about to crack, Whitlam was going to have a half-Senate election, which would have fucked over the Liberals.

Kerr stepped in and committed a self-coup in Australia, he should have shut up and done nothing except follow the advice of the PM.

I think when Joh Bjelke-Petersen got one in 2005 that it was pretty much sunk.

Richo had nothing on the grift and law breaking of Joh and his mates.

The Delhi bomber has been shown (by Indian police, so may not be 100% true) to be from Kashmir.

But there was one 3 hours ago in Islamabad Pakistan, that no one has taken responsibility for, but it's suspected to be Pakistan Taliban.

More religious bullshit.

People that actually understand Judaism, (not fundamentalist fuckhead "settlers") know that god "chose" the Jewish people to be an *example* to other nations, not because they were favored *over* other nations.

But fundamentalist religion is what fucks us all for ever.

Yes, and I'm speaking as a Jew.

They are fundamentalist fuckheads, mostly from the US, that have been brainwashed by their rabbis and education.

They're EXACTLY the same as any other fundamentalist fuckhead, whether Shia, Sunni, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian or any other religion.

Well Smith St Collingwood almost has all of the food groups represented:
* McDonalds
* KFC
* Nandos
* G&G
* Grill'd

At least the really good Banh Mi and Turkish bakery are still around.

The question behind the headline.

It seems like a self-perpetuating ecosystem.

People compete to get into competitions so that they can compete.

Someone is grifting on the money being generated.

Guess who used to own it? The orange sleaze.

Owned by a Thai company now.

At least they wanted to vote, which I guess is a step up from the usual apathy.

On the other hand I think compulsory enrolment and voting but with the reward of a democracy sausage is a much better GOTV campaign.

I'm predicting that if they do introduce it, there will be a LOUD government advertising campaign about it, particularly near an election.
