The only truly validated personality profile test is OCEAN. I won’t go near any of them including OCEAN. I can’t see the point in individuals doing a test that measures their behavior by comparing it against some group average. It’s a self report test. Ha!

Exactly. Introversion is simply a different orientation towards the world. It is not about looking inward, almost the exact opposite, it is about being interested in how of things. Introspection is most often naval gazing and in some cases can lead to depression.
That’s exactly what an introvert would say. Introversion is not avoiding people, it is not being unsociable, it is not having poor social skills. You have misunderstood the meaning.

Could well be. That’s because classifying people into types doesn’t interest me.

Cormann is the EUrian candidate. An EU sleeper agent infiltrated into the Australian government.

Cormann was taking the piss at the expense of that weird green senator.
I’m the same. I don’t really get this classification business, especially because it too often encourages people to make sweeping generalisations based on those categories.
I’m not into figuring out what people will do next though, I don’t find people that interesting. That’s being an error on my part because anticipating people is very important in some contexts.
The introversion-extroversion spectrum put quickly: introverts like playing with ideas, extroverts like experience. There is a striking positive correlation between introversion and high intelligence but sadly an inverse correlation between introversion and income. Extroverts tend to be better money makers because they spend more time dealing with people and are focused not on understanding but on making things happen. So perhaps Jung was right: it is an extroverts’ world.

Philip Haney, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) whistleblower who was an outspoken critic of the administration of former President Barack Obama, was found dead Friday, about 40 miles east of Sacramento, Calif., local authorities said.

But I like both. I like experiencing things, and I like thinking about the experiences. And framing hypotheses, and testing them. Maybe I’m both. Which suggests there’s something wrong with the categories. Which would not come as much of a surprise.
I went to Cuba, and have been to other places, in large part to mix with another culture and find out how the people there construe the world. What assumptions do they make about each other? What expectations and objectives do they have? This sounds pretty extravert on your terms.
Worrying about the amount of shonkiness in the linguistic categories of psychologists doesn’t look a very productive use of anyone’s time.

A very Labor policy. The better off home owners get a discount while the poorer pay the full amount of rates which have been necessarily increased to cover the discount given to ‘da rich’.
Is Pat Condren a journalist? He’s stupid enough.

Hence my previous reference to the dangers of sweeping generalisations. One of my favourite times after a week of work was to jump on my ridiculously powerful motorcycle and go BS crazy in the early hours of Sunday morning when very stoned. I went early in the morning to avoid the cops. I would even stop at the bottom of a climb and wait as along as possible so that the uphill run was hopefully traffic free. Most would regard that as stupidity. It was dangerous but I loved it because I could time the run so that coming home I’m sitting on 140 ks on the highway going up the centre line but I know that cops are placing radars in the other direction so I was safe from them if not from my need for physical stimulation after a week of reading and thinking.
It relates to another personality dimension: openness to experience. So an introvert with a high level of openness to experience will explore the world in many different ways.
It matters because far too many people take those categories too seriously. That’s why I like debunking the claims of all those tests. Call it a public service.

A worthy endeavour.
I get pissed off by questions like “Which would you prefer, staying home to watch a movie, or going to a party?” Or: “Which would you prefer, visiting a museum or going to the pub.”
It would depend strongly on the movie and who else was at the party. Or what the museum was (BM, V&A, Louvre vs small town collection of birds eggs) and where the pub was. Trying to decide in the absence of any useful information about the alternatives is possible only for those who are happy with wild generalisations based on worthless default assumptions. The tests assume the testee is extremely stupid, which is no doubt frequently true.
Snoopy. Link not working.

I have never heard of her so I had a look around. She is married to a bloke with a really silly name, Cooper Cronk. He was a genius rugby league footballer, evidently, but I saw nothing of that. I do recall him winning some important game in the last year or two and sobbing like a sheila on his coach’s shoulder, gripping him as if he’d just been rescued at sea or something.
She is one of the new age powerful girlses who are capable of “expert” commentary on every sport known to man – greyhounds, wood chop, heavyweight boxing, you name it – when she really ought to focus exclusively on synchronised swimming.

There is a Churchill movie on SBS World Movies at the moment. They portray Britain’s wartime PM as a doddering old man who has lost his mind but occasionally has moments of clarity, enough to deliver a speech.
FFS. Churchill became Britain’s PM again in 1951 serving another 4 years.

Indeed. Churchill was the first prime minister that Queen Liz advised.
Imagine that.
My jury-rigged bidet using the garden hose from outside to save on toilet paper needs more work.
Specifically, the pressure needs modulating somewhat.
Also, the water is a tad cool.
But, desparate times …
On another occasion at a formal dinner with the Queen, Churchill made the toast to her. He stated that the first time he did that it was at his mess last century, only that time he made the toast to her great-grandmother.
Imagine that.

Dyson’s comments on the variability hidden within a ‘unitary’ global average are only half the story. The claimed precision re a warming ‘average’ increase in world terms is drawn from land surface-based measurements which produce a result which is well within the margin of error and the measurements are are also both homogenised from the raw data and fabricated for where no land surface measurements exist.
Satellite data from the late 70’s covers both land and sea and does show a warming trend. Ignored however by data smoothing is a real cooling between the 40’s and the 70’a which has since been homogenised out. To claim one degree c in the last hundred years is thus highly dubious while a warming trend of .4 degrees C since the 7o’s is more easily supported. A climategate email said the 40’s blip towards cooling was inexplicable (under the CO2 hypothesis) and asked if ‘we’ could do something about erasing it. lol. We are now in a situation where we are getting more fabricated and ‘smoothed’ data than ever before. Genuine ‘man-made’ global warming, we might cynically say.
In other words, we poor peons may be being pushed to refuse real data that suggests small climatic changes may be cyclical, as we know in previous centuries they certainly were. There is no real evidence that anything unusual is going on. The data is being tweaked to fit the theory.
Dear me, I will say now, in my usual self-absorbed manner. 😀
That kind of continuity is valuable. It’s what makes a nation more than a collection of people sharing some geography.

Catallaxy is full of old people who have seen a few things and know the value of their self-absorbed memories lived and historical experiences of continuity. No worries though. Corona virus will finish us and our long memories off soon enough. If scientistic personality theories and glowball warmening don’t stifle us first, that is, although to get a bit self-absorbed about it, my scientific bet is on CoV19. At 77 I am a sitting duck, although as Hairy assures me, not an old duck yet.
In fact the ~.4C occurred between 1976-1979 in something called the Great Pacific Climate Shift which was a phase change between a La Nina dominated -ve PDO from ~1940-1976 to a El Nino dominated +PDO which began in 1976. That .4C temp increase is all the temp increase in the second half of the 20thC into the 21st: see:

I also note how the Left always raise the point that Churchill was rejected by the British people after the war.
They like to give the impression to the young and ignorant that a line was drawn right there, and Churchill faded into history. They never mention his second term as Prime Minister from 1951 -1955.

From Bar Beach Swimmer at 10:38 pm:
Every one of these feeble bastards were shoehorned into the highest paying job of their mediocre lives by Tony Abbott. After about 3½ weeks they all started to feel fearful and perspire and run about clutching at each other, anxiously asking “What will happen to me next autumn?”
They all, every one of them, betrayed Abbott for their puppetmaster, Australia’s version of Bloomberg, the trillionaire gnome who lately has been strutting about as the smartest man in the room in the USA. He will soon have enough time on his hands to have lunch in New York with the quisling Turnbull, and his pea heart son – he deserves both – and they can all lick each other’s grubby nouveau riche fingers together. Turnbull ranks with Rudd and the lying slut as one of the most unworthy grubs ever to have occupied a seat in the Parliament. He was shunted by the same treacherous turds who betrayed Abbott.
You can expect precisely nothing of Morrison or his colleagues. They are mediocrity writ large. They have no ticker.
Is this to do with Turkey sending over the hordes?
Yep.
‘Catallaxy is full of old people’
Whoa.
Just whoa there a sec, Lizzie.
Some of us haven’t booked a Viking funeral aka cruise just yet.
I’m not sure about that. The risk will be for those with already compromised health. Like all the oldies in China. Very high smoking rates, probably malnourished, and with untreated conditions, very bad air quality; thus extremely high rates of respiratory issues. Over 60 years of age T cells numbers decline, vaccine responses are weaker, and many have some type of morbidity. You have none. I think the real risk of us old codgers is pre-existing morbidity, especially lung and cardiac function. Hairy I regret to say is at risk. I don’t think you have anything to worry about it.

Re the children didn’t die from the Spanish Flu – in my mother’s family of 12, one died aged 2. In my paternal grandmother’s family of 12, one died, also aged about 2. And in my other half’s mother’s family of 12 one died, aged also about 2.

You didn’t often get your photo taken in those days either in my world, so I have very few photos from that time of family or self or friends. I still remember the dress. From Rockmans, with patterns in a mix of electric blue and bright pink.
I was so young, so hopeful, and so untutored. Sometimes it is hard to look back on all of that.
Just like Dr. BG’s reminiscence, discovery of self is a lifetime occupation that everyone must engage in and that in the end adds up to naught anyway. Zero. For all of us, our little life is rounded with a sleep. If that sounds depressive it is not meant to be. I am looking forward to our cruising holiday and hope to be back to bother the usual suspects here well into my dotage, which is not yet.

Indigenous anger over rise of ‘fake Aborigines’
Traditional owners are calling for greater scrutiny of claims of Aboriginality, warning that “fake Aborigines” are rorting benefits and criminals may be claiming to be indigenous to avoid deportation.
Veteran activist and author Stephen Hagan, and Ann Weldon, the former director of the Sydney Metropolitan Land Council, said there was widespread concern among Australia’s indigenous community about false claims to Aboriginality.
Dr Hagan said the debate about the Aboriginality of historian Bruce Pascoe and last month’s High Court ruling against the deportation of indigenous people born overseas showed the need for a more robust examination of claims. In the wake of the High Court ruling, the Home Affairs Department is examining the claims of 23 immigration detainees who say they should be released on the grounds that they are indigenous Australians.
A traditional owner and former chairman of the Kullilli tribe of southwest Queensland, Dr Hagan said he feared the decision would be exploited by criminals seeking to avoid deportation.
Dr Hagan said the widely accepted method test of “descent, self-identification and acceptance” by the Aboriginal community had already been abused to support fraudulent claims.
He said the only real test was for a person to name and prove their links to a tribe and an “apical ancestor” — a tribe’s common ancestor who can be demonstrated to be at the apex of the Aboriginal lineage of a group.
“The existing three-part test is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike if it does not specify links to an apical ancestor,’’ he said.
“Anyone can do an internet search on a tribe and spin a good yarn to get around the definition, provided they can convince a gullible Aboriginal leader to say, ‘Yeah, I know him/her’, and then sign off on a confirmation of Aboriginality certificate. Naming a tribe as proof of Aboriginality is no more than a geography lesson.
“An easy test to eliminate deceitful claims to Aboriginality, including those coming from detention centres of late, is to apply the apical ancestor test by going back a minimum of three generations. Ask claimants to do that and you’ll soon put a stop to fraudulent claims.”
Ms Weldon said she had seen widespread fraud by people claiming to be indigenous so they could access Aboriginal-identified government jobs, university scholarships or public housing.
An elder of the Wiradjuri people from central-west NSW, she said “self-identification” by a statutory declaration — despite no evidence of Aboriginal lineage — was often accepted as proof.
“People are self-identifying with no proof, no links to Aboriginal community or culture, by ticking the box and getting statutory declarations signed by a JP,’’ she said. “There are individuals and organisations that are handing them out like lolly paper.”
Ms Weldon said the Sydney Metropolitan Land Council was stringent on claims to Aboriginality but its concerns had been ignored by peak indigenous organisations. “At the land council we would send people away to get proof of their lineage, and most of them didn’t come back,’’ she said. “There are extensive records in NSW from the missions and it can be done.”

From Elizabeth (Lizzie) Beare at 11:15 pm
Fair dinkum, Elizabeth, I never felt the need to waste time gazing at myself in the mirror (there is no insult intended, I trust you would know that). So many of you wymminses get so anguished with that (I say) unnecessary self focus.
I was placed on the right path by an immensely strong father, physically and mentally, who had seen much; by a gracious, gentle mother; by the affectionate encouragement of my eldest sister who took the family leadership when they passed it to her; by Warren Ryan, master coach, who named me captain and then set about teaching me how; and by an outstanding parish priest, a man’s man who was given to competing in the Redex trials under an assumed name, much to the displeasure of the bishops. I led the cortège after his final mass with tears streaming down my face, and carry his photo in my wallet still.
They guided me perfectly well and let me know quite clearly what I was, where I was going and why, and how to do it (I long ago borrowed that from Saint John Paul II). I simply trusted and followed their advice, which left me free to get on with it.

Suddenly awake at 2am. Writing ‘to do’ lists in my head in bed. So seize the phone, and here I find Grigs disbelieving my photo. Look closely at the shot Grigs. It was taken in an early type of photo booth and is enlarged from a thumbnail print. I have a minor cleft in my chin, hardly noticeable when I am looking down, similar to most women. What you are mainly seeing is a white shine shadow highlight which is noticeable on other parts of the photograph on that side also if you look closely.
I took the picture at Central Station, having made a special trip to ‘town’ for a daring appointment I had made. In those days many girls wanted to be a model, a glamorous career, and June Daly Watkins ran regular searches for new talent. I had taken special care of my hair that day for I was going to a session where we had to turn up with photos. These ones from the machine that morning were all I had. Miss Daly came into the room, each hopeful girl had to stand up, turn around, and be inspected, and then present her photograph. Miss Daly looked at me, seemed to hesitate for a long moment examining my photo sheet, and then waved me over to the reject side. You are not tall enough dear, she said to me kindly, and I knew then that I was not sophisticated enough too in that well-dressed crowd. Which ended that avenue of escape from Mt Druitt. I went back to my job in St Mary’s as a receptionist knowing that many other girls would be ahead of me in whatever race I could now enter.

Don’t push panic button, economy is not in toilet
The Australian Editorial
The good news, declares Scott Morrison, is Kimberly-Clark, which produces toilet paper, has opened up its factory line in South Australia. The nation’s panicky shoppers should be relieved. “That’s the economy in motion,” the Prime Minister said on Tuesday ahead of the Reserve Bank’s last-gasp cash rate cut brought on by the coronavirus outbreak. The Bureau of Statistics reported on Wednesday gross domestic product expanded in the December quarter before the worst of the Black Summer bushfires hit. The economy ambled along last year at a regular clip of 0.5 to 0.6 per cent a quarter, posting annual growth of 2.2 per cent. That’s hardly news to scream happy about but Josh Frydenberg says he’d take that any day given it’s just below US growth of 2.3 per cent and well ahead of other rich countries.
Looking in the rear-view mirror gives us a sense of which parts of the economy are pulling their weight and which areas are struggling. Across the year, GDP growth has been driven by the trade sector, especially mining, and public spending on social welfare, health, disability services and capital works. Job growth has been a tad under 2 per cent across the economy. Drought has slammed agriculture, but there are pockets of revival. Consumer spending, particularly on big-ticket items such as new cars, has been weak. Sales promotions ahead of Christmas, however, breathed some life into the retail industry.
But the world has given us a pay cut, with the price for our exports slipping back, while the cost of imports — such as computers, fuels, overseas holidays and heavy machinery — has risen off the back of a weaker dollar. GDP per capita, a proxy for living standards, grew last year by a measly 0.7 per cent, well below long-term averages. Profits fell in the December quarter. As we have bemoaned for some time, private investment is extremely weak, with construction and equipment spending falling during the course of last year. That bodes ill for productivity and our ability to sustain faster rates of growth down the track. Home building is in a deep hole but trade in second-hand housing assets has kicked up again, with transfer duties flooding into state treasuries. It’s hard to see where the central bank’s “gentle turning point” has been living, although the statistician has revised up GDP for previous quarters.
There is abundant stimulus flowing in the economy. But the RBA’s three cash rate cuts last year, as well as the Treasurer’s tax cuts for low and middle-income earners, saw households paying down debt or saving for a rainy day. Perhaps it has brought forward the time when consumers begin to spend and businesses start to invest. The evolving COVID-19 health crisis, however, has the potential to derail a slow-moving engine. The RBA says it is difficult to predict how large and long-lasting the economic effect will be; its 0.5 per cent cash rate is aimed at providing extra support to jobs and economic activity. But monetary policy has run its race and ultra-cheap money may simply set off another run of house-price mania. So Canberra is coming to the rescue.
Managing sentiment is art rather than science. The Prime Minister is taking the lead in calming nerves and preparing to unleash the fiscal hounds. Given this is a health shock, with severe supply-side consequences likely, the 2008-09 game plan to deal with the global financial crisis won’t cut it. Mr Morrison has made clear the initial response will be “targeted” and “scalable”; but the heft of the package has been upgraded from “modest” to “measured” in a sign both ambition and need are growing by the day. The risk is the Coalition — which mocks Labor’s GFC overkill on pinks batts, school halls and cheques to dead people — will underspend and the economy slips into recession. It’s likely the “back in the black” surplus is gone, but Mr Morrison wants to get “back on track”, fiscally speaking, as soon as possible.
In talking up the national accounts on Wednesday, the Treasurer said he was looking at changes to deeming rates for retirees struggling with ultra-low interest rates. Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack called on the states to propose construction projects that were ready to roll. But the government has brought forward $4bn in work already. Do we have the skills and materials capacity for it, given the bushfires recovery work? Probably not. The essence of the coming stimulus will be to protect jobs, boost investment and help companies with their cashflow.
Business, which accepts company tax relief is not on the horizon, had been pushing for an investment allowance well before the virus crisis. A tax break is likely to figure in the package, which Mr Morrison promises will be delivered “well before” the May budget. With any plan hinging on scalability, we expect the fiscal response will come sooner rather than later. A temporary tax holiday for the worst-affected traders in tourism, education, farming and retail would provide valuable relief, as would a delay for small enterprises to lodge Business Activity Statements. Getting the stimulus design right — avoiding the extremes of recession and spending waste — will test officials and their political masters. Even though time is of the essence, pushing the panic button would send the wrong public signal.
I gently noted the error in a comment.

Oops, I should’ve refreshed before putting up that comment!
Same goes down south, sea ice is normal at both poles as you saw in the above link. The PDO drives Antarctic sea ice somewhat, but not to the extent of the AMO because Antarctica borders the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic. The PDO is neutral at the moment, but has just been through a big spike due to the three back-to-back el Ninos in the last 4 years. When the heat from those dissipates and we get into a la Nina the sea ice should increase substantially.
Read the words “low enriched” which means about 5%.
Of high-enriched Uranium which means getting it up above 90%.
That’s just crap.
If they were to upgrade their enrichment that would also reduce the amount of resultant material.
Besides that, the article is a beat up … Iran already said they would NOT stick with Obama’s “Deal” since the USA isn’t sticking with it, and although Germany, France, etc want to make the token gesture of pretending to still be “in the deal” that’s completely meaningless because Trump got them to knuckle under and respect his sanctions. Therefore Iran is free to make as much low-enriched Uranium as they want, and I suppose eventually have a go a making a power reactor if they can dig a deep enough hole to hide it in.
Whether they some day decide to make a bomb is another question … the temptation will always be there but no actual evidence has surfaced demonstrating such activities.
When Covid-19 Kills 18,000 People Call Me, But Until Then Stop the Scaremongering
Here are some highlights from Dr. Fauci’s remarks.
“If you look at the now 90,000 people who’ve been infected and the number of deaths that have occurred, about 80 percent of individuals who get infected do really quite well without any specific intervention. Namely, they spontaneously recover,” Fauci said in his opening statement.
“However, about 15 to up to 20 percent of individuals – usually those who are elderly and in risk groups wind up getting serious disease requiring supportive care. That could be oxygen. That could be intensive care. That could be intubation or even more dramatic interventions,” he said.
“So we want desperately to have a therapy for these individuals. There are a number of candidate therapies that literally as I speak to you today are being tested in randomized control trials. One of these is called Remdesivir, which was developed by the Gilead company. It is being tested in a large trial in China, and it is also being tested here in the United States in an NIH-sponsored trial in collaboration with Gilead,” he said.
What he’s saying is that unless you are in an at-risk category, for instance, someone who is already seriously ill or who is immune compromised, if you get Covid-19, you’re going to be sick for a short period of time and you’re going to get well.
And there was this exchange between Senators Lamar Alexander and Rand Paul with Dr. Fauci.
“Are children getting the coronoavirus?” Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) asked Fauci at Tuesday’s Senate Subcommittee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing on the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.
“To a much lesser extent than adults, and for reasons that are still unclear. It may be that they are getting infected, but they’re symptoms are so low they’re not being recognized, but in a number of reports that have come out from China, there are very few cases less than 15 years old. You’ll always find the exception, but most of the cases are a mean age of about 50,” Fauci said.

‘Can you blame the Briannas for subediting, or lack of?’
I blame the Briannas for being too thick to realise what town is in what State, Nob.
I blame her in particular for having a guess, and not doing so much as looking up where it is, and I blame her for not have basic general knowledge. Journos are supposed to know more things than the average bear, or at least have access to information.
Travers a) didn’t know what she was talking about, and b) failed to realise she didn’t know what she was talking about. Strikes one and two.
The subbies’ job isn’t just to think of cool headlines that will fit into the available space. They are (supposed to be) a check and balance mechanism guarding against the occasional inadvertent howler.
Strike fucking three.
This is about baseline credibility. Newspapers are supposed to possess this, and stack’s earlier link is yet another glaring example that at the very basic level, there are people in that industry who have repeatedly, and abjectly failed in what is really their only currency. The written word.
And it infuriates me, because it reinforces the concepts of ‘oh but you know what I meant’ and/or ‘doesn’t really matter, just get the content down’.
And thanks to the Briannas and their invisible/incompetent subbies, the credibility of the entire piece is, like it or not, shot.
These are the people who expect the public to listen to them, or at least absorb the content of the information they put forward. They are also the same people routinely bewildered when the ‘trust by occupation’ surveys come out, placing them at the bottom of the heap next to used car dealers.
So yeah. I do blame the Briannas.
Idiots. Oblivious idiots.
If the Iranians have 5% enriched uranium, that can make 55kg of 90% enriched uranium. Easy enough to do as they’ve already gone from 0.7% to 5%.
55Kg should be good for a couple of crude gun type fission weapons, maybe more if they do the implosion type correctly.

Pelosi’s ‘Dirty Little Secret’: She Held Back Coronavirus Funding Bill so DCCC Could Run Super Tuesday Ads Against GOP
This is not surprising. For the Democrats, the coronavirus outbreak has become their latest weapon with which to damage the President.
McCarthy brought this up during a GOP press conference today. He told reporters:
Last week, we had an opportunity to bring forth the Supplemental, the needed funds for public health and others to deal with this item. We are not the majority. We cannot determine the floor, so Speaker Pelosi left, and had us leave Congress. This week, we hope we’re going to be able to bring it up.
The one concerning issue that I have, not as just the leader of the Republicans, but really as an American. Why didn’t we vote on it last week? And why now is the Democratic arm of the DCCC running ads against seven Republicans? On something they could not vote on, because they could not control it. Are they playing politics and holding the money up so their political arm can attack Republicans on this issue? Can they, for one time put people before politics? I think they owe the American people an apology. I think the Speaker needs to apologize. Cheri Bustos needs to take those ads down and stop playing politics with this.
America is nervous. We’ve been preparing for years in advance. We’ve got to make sure we have all the needed resources there.
So bring the bill to the floor.

If the Iranians have 5% enriched uranium, that can make 55kg of 90% enriched uranium. Easy enough to do as they’ve already gone from 0.7% to 5%.
55Kg should be good for a couple of crude gun type fission weapons, maybe more if they do the implosion type correctly.
I suspect that it becomes harder as the enrichment percentage climbs.
Thank you.

We have a new Socky McSockface in our midst?
She’ll (Danielle) be on fire after Lizzie works up several supertankers full of outrageous flammable outrage.
As long as she doesn’t mention Lizzie’s driving skills or lack thereof masked by outdated technology, she’ll survive.
It’ll be an $8.99 investment on a Coral Belt (available from mmadirect.com.au) well spent.

Wall Street roars back back after Democrats’ Super Tuesday and stimulus hopes

Wall St comes roaring back
The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared more than 1,100 points, or 4.5%, on hopes for more stimulus measures from around the globe to fight the virus outbreak. Health care companies led the gains after Joe Biden solidified his contender status for the Democratic presidential nomination. Investors see him as a more business-friendly alternative to Bernie Sanders.

Sashays in, hands in pockets, whistling a tune…
Bogroll news – we now have an emergency here in the bay. Woolies completely cleaned out. The gannets must have visited yesterday when there was plenty.
Care Packages dispatched to Sydney where my sensible children (who take zero notice of MSM confected crises) have run out.
Hard to know who is making the problem worse – them for not heeding the vibe, me for baling them out with local supplies, or the halfwits taking ute loads away.
