Liberty Quote
The case for individual freedom rests largely upon the recognition of the inevitable and universal ignorance of all of us concerning a great many of the factors on which the achievements of our ends and welfare depend.

Brilliant.
A tiny bit like oilfield equipment sales was in pre-internet days but general principles are still true.
(of course you never get consumer-scale volumes in technical B2B sales)
“Lie” is a huge exaggeration by the program makers. “White lie” maybe.
I often tell someone that I just happen to be in town for some other reason when I want a meeting, even if the point of the whole trip was just to see them.
Means it’s not a pressure situation.
searching Google isn’t research retard
Bruce you are a legend, and thank you for your kind words, but mine are merely observations of what is happening. You do have to feel as well, to be able to describe, as you observe your birds and they trust you to provide food when they need it, and you miss them and are sad when they do not come. I’m glad your old boy came back, champion, but life is a cycle and ours is normally a bit longer than theirs.
Dont feel bad about the mince. That cow lived and provided nourishment for us and your birds. No different to her dead in the paddock and the crows eating her as would have happened one day, for sure.
True.
Totally vulnerable to activist capture, mainly of the Green-Left variety.
We’re just leftists in Australia?
Elected US County Sheriffs (or even appointed police chiefs) aren’t known for being green left moonbeams, except in Seattle or Minneapolis.
Helen,
What a beautiful and poignant reminder of the endless Circle of Life.
Thank you.
No posse. The we is you and I. I’ll get to the John Oxley in the next fortnight or so. I’ll let you know how it goes. You’ve dug in on this one. You’re retired and an hour away. You could have easily done it yourself… What a triumph it would have been. See here.
Date 1977.
Place Gaythorne Cinema 😉
Here’s the advertisement for ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’
It was a matinee.
Dates places and times.
Remember what you need to confirm is this:
“I’ve been going through my letters –”
That’s great! More progress. Which letter confirms the remarkable section were you in when you told the Parable of my two murri mates?
Explain those discrepancies?
You lie to everyone. You lied to your mother. There was no SIW reported as WIA in 7RAR prior to 27 March 1970. None.
Sad that.
Sadder still is the fact that you just give it up.
“I did have some stickers on my Volkswagen which read “Support the NLF”
In Queensland in 1968…
Please…
Pathological.
Especially in Australia. Rural areas populated by tree-changers and “decentralised” govt facilities creating mini-Canberras. Industry has been gone for a generation and the new population fears it like Blake’s satanic mills. No mines, wells or power stations please.

Give him a bit of a once over and tell him how much fun he will have when the doovalacky is sorted out.
Should be up and running in no time.
Haha even the Russians were trolling the lefties https://www.twitter.com/tassagency_en/status/1207673335649374210
I wish the moderator would call an end to this Vietnam saga.
Getting to a stage where it’s driving people away.😴
The Great Heat, which turned out to be half a hot day has lessened to 35 degrees in Yarrograd.
No spontaneously combusting kittens, I’m afraid.
Liability Bob uses the George Costanza model.
If you believe a lie, it becomes the truth.
Bruce, just because it’s missing doesn’t mean he didn’t kill himself. You’re not dealing with the brightest and the best when it comes to prison guards. Espstein was a monster, but he was also incredibly smart. He would have found a way to end his life and chose to do so.
Mosaic … Frank didn’t say where he found his reference. It is amazing just how much good, verifiable information is available on the internet. Businesses, including legal firms, employ research staff who are skilled at finding that information. Lots of those research people do use Google, some rely on Wikipedia … evn you, when you provided this link from Wikipedia (Mosaic Trisomy 16) in your Open Forum comment back on 7 July last.
Quite fun, watching Numbers Ho disappear up his own fundamental orifice.
In the spirit of Christmas (preferring to beat the rush) I would like to thank all of the pixels here.
Opinions are like arses as they say.
Now that I have fulfilled what I think is a social convention, considering my short engagement with this august website, I would like to say that it may be a Christmas wish to go full tilt one on one, website speaking, with the resident fuckwits and their noms de Guerre.
Naturally I will ignore this esprit du corps of the holiday season and ignore the pricks like I do now.
We’re not in Kansas.
Shouldn’t be too hard to set up a drafting algorithm that funnels every post that mentions VN plus anyone who engages with it to a separate branch.
I have no grudge with any party, just I’m getting RSI from scrolling.
That’s almost like telling foreign operatives to get out of the country now. What a bizarre lede from the Australian, unless this is a Friday night dump designed to take the heat off Morrison.
…..not saying they’re not worthy, but they’re not worthy.
We’re not in Hogwarts anymore.

Police officer Amjad Ditta in group charged with sex offences
Sixteen men including a police officer have been charged with historical sex offences against children aged between 13 and 16.
Morrison should have no heat.
There are people in positions of authority to deal with it.
Tesla hit $71 billion market cap yesterday tearing the private parts off the shorts. I’m posting this for all the psychological shorts at the Cat. I’m psychologically long. 🙂
I swear, I’m not getting any satisfaction in posting this and seeing the pain. I swear, truly I do 🙂
Oh, and:
They always eat their own in the end.
JC, you got the same problem 1/8th does
chicken entrails are not reliable
EV’s share of the US market to be 25% by 2024?
Don’t be silly.
I’d think not. But then maybe you’ve seen the blog stats. Maybe you should expand your request to include:
– the bitches bitchin’
– the endless fantasies that cause the bitchin’
– A Model Ford restoration blogging
– endless repeats of jet planes in the Welsh highlands
– endless old-fashioned music videos
– endless repetitions of Lisa Gerrard gurgling “Now We Are Free”
– endless …
Laz
He’s referring to sales for the year, not the share of the entire US car fleet.
It’s capitalized at US$72 billion which makes some of the large carmakers look like minnows. These entrails look pretty decent to me.
I’ll tell how Tesla may not make the hurdle in 2024. That’s if someone buys them and then it wouldn’t be Tesla anymore. 🙂 Just an out there hunch. I think Apple could buy Tesla.
Endless, pointless socks……
Phrasing
He assumes that electric vehicles’ share of the U.S. market will be 25% by 2024, up from about 3% now
Seems unambiguous to me. Am I missing something?
Grigory aka Danielle the 8th showing his true colours now. When he starts calling me a fantasist, which I am not, we know for sure we are dealing with Grigs, whom Doomlord has axed regularly from here. I earn my place here as a lightning rod if nothing else when it comes to Grigs, also Steve from Brisbane, and also Birdie. As extra surety, he’s doing the old Grigs trick of dredging backthread on someone to ‘correct’ them.. Dot I think. He’s gone all the way back to July 8th just up above, ffs. Grigs, pure and simple. Go on another NZ cruise on the Ovation and take in a volcano trip this time, Grigs.
I’ve just come on here by my phone as my laptop connection to the Cat is arguing with Osblogistan.
Seems Overburdened wants me to do some heavy lifting. Haven’t found out what about yet.
Yea, he’s talking about the US car “market”, not the car fleet. Those are to different stats. The “car market” refers to sales in a particular period.
Sure, so 25% of sales in 2024 will be EVs? Still silly. Wanna make a bet?
JC we have our own Tesla bet, and I am very worried.
A friend of mine’s S series just arrived and he is the happiest fucker on earth. He ordered it 3.5 years ago! No other car brand on earth would cop that delay for a mass market car.
Tesla is a ponzi, but an amazing brand. I look forward to buying you lunch.
Laz
If I was betting, I’d buy the stock. I’m not because I don’t like the sector.
How much would you like to bet anyway?
Oh, it’s about the new CD. I just had to get the plastic ends off the copper wires for him with my tiny fingers. It’s all done now, we’ve had dinner, watch another episode of Mad Men (Don’s life in flashbacks due to mid-life crisis) and the CD has done sterling work with Handel’s Messiah.
‘Cos it’s nearly Christmas.
Sound advice.
I took particular interest in Ken Jones testimony and I noted at least five instances of hostile counsel trying to get some mud to stick to Jones.
Of course, none of it was exculpatory for the fat blue line or cueball. It simply tried to imply that Jones was in on the joke.
It was mostly trying to make Jones accountable for stuff which was clearly not within his control, but to a 25 year old gullible j’ism intern it might sound like it was. Typical “News at 6” soundbite lawyer stuff.
The most outrageous one was a standing meeting held whilst he was on holidays where some particular fuck up was mentioned, minuted and filed away.
He was asked why he didn’t know about a meeting he wasn’t at and minutes he wasn’t given.
That is what I meant by asking gas emmitter to quote chapter and verse where Jones was not credible.

I’ll take a bet at 7:1 in my favor. That still gives you a little room on the upside.
I bought a Juul today from a dude selling vapes in my neighborhood. Juul has 5% nicotine and apparently the small pod is equal to a pack of cigs. It sure feels like it.
The fucker is selling the things including nicotine pods, which is illegal to do so in this shithole.
I’m 100% sure someone will dob him in.
JC Going to bed right now. Will resume clarification on this bet tomorrow. But if you are apparently offering 7:1 on 25% EV sales in the US in 2024, then I am in Bill Shorten territory.
I think that was a piss-take dot.
My feed dropped just before the “Eureka, found diaries” moment, but I suspect KD is doing dramatic enhancement.
Even without that, it was a golden moment.
You have to explain that.
Goodbyeeeeeeeeeee to the old fred…………
Bill Shorten: 50% EVs by 2030 (or whatever). I should have said, you were in Bill Shorten territory (on this one, not anything else).
