Avuncular curmudgeon. Surely you have something better to be reading?

Hard to believe, looking back, that Hanson turned out to be a cunt of a human being.

Australia starting fuel rationing this week. No end in sight, no plan beyond this delay tactic. COVID taught us that our society is not prepared for anything that looks anything like a lockdown again.

The book is fantastic, especially given what you like about the film. Follow it with VALIS - totally different style, but similar subject matter.

I feel it'd be hilarious at this point to suggest you 'calm down' - but I'm guessing you wouldn't see the funny side of that. Anyway, there are plenty of places in this world I can't safely visit because of my belief system, colour, so don't assume you're uniquely placed.

I nearly shat myself too, when I watched that bit. I'm now the proud owner of an etsy 'Absolute casserole' t-shirt that effectively no one ever understands, and I'm okay with that.

#43 it'd be 23 hours though, right?

Wasn't being stupid, was just trying to be humorous. Pakistan is on my list of places to never go to, for this and related reasons.

Yeah, I know Spain has at least one big-ish one, but also that they are losing favour. I suspect investors are holding off in case chemical storage (at scale) gets solved before the payback on ST - and ST payback is obviously a lot longer just because large infra projects with lots of moving parts are going to be much more expensive than a few poles with panels bolted on them, and then strung together with cheap wires.

It's weird, isn't it, given Pakistan's reputation for gender equality and inclusiveness.

Absolutely. Also, people hear solar and assume PVC, while ignoring solar thermal with its built in storage and resilience to clouds, peaking around sunset.

Yes, probably, and it's still not sufficiently well understood.

I mean, those subtitles are still pretty fucking awful - not least for the imposition on your attention while listening to the guy talking, but also because they're full of mistakes. Some subtle, but some really quite profoundly misleading to the speaker's intent.

Also, one of the gospels is so packed with events (that didn't really happen) that it turns out he could only have been up there for a few hours that morning.

As an Australian looking at how your politics work - no, you can't.

He did one a decade ago that should be watched first, I think. The Ultra Zionists (2011), and The Settlers (2025). The latter has him breaking his usual levels of non-judgemental questioning, and it's not surprising why.

Oh great - another 'watershed moment for accountability' that will result in ... no accountability.

Hasn't it been about that for months? I'm on 95 or 98, which is always a bother, but still.

math is hard, eh? original statement was '272 orders' - we have no idea how big an order was. you can likely extrapolate, but there's no reason to think 'an order' equates to one dozen individual donuts. given context, it's likely that orders were quite large - intending to feed sizeable groups of staff at large gatherings. still, and not taking away from any of that, it's a lot of money on donuts for the 'no fatties' club that pete kegstand's constantly promoting.

I think by the time she's sitting on eggs, on their nest, that bit's already happened.

I believe it's like moose but a bit more lumpy.

Happily, it definitely does not suck, at least so far.
