I'm a ketch man myself, who owns a sloop.

I never use cliches.
A cliche is like a red rag to a bull to me.

Just finished.

Once the goat is revealed the choice is not between two doors. It's between two scenarios. Each scenarios has three possible resolutions.
The sum of both scenarios is 50/50.
if you stick with the...

It's cognitive dissonance, not narcissism. Hence the ad hominem.
It's also a terrific example of how confirmation bias reveals itself in what otherwise looks like a logical problem.

I played this...

I wasn't in the court bug I'm pretty sure judges are not fools.
the thing to keep in mind is Pell did not get off on evidence, it was a procedural technicality.

No need to be rude Nick.
if you follow it, the most relevant thing is that your first choice was probably wrong.

I think because you are ignoring that your first choice was probably wrong.
If the other goat wasn't revealed, and the host gave you the choice, keep your door or have both the other two (and if the...

You had the red pill didn't you?

Venom.

Cane toads are poisonous, and i think there is one poisonous snake.
With all the rain we've been having there's heaps of really freaky fungi popping up. I'm not going to be eating any of...

I've already expressed my opinion on making stoves out of wood in the wood stove thread.
I'll leave it at that.

Never has a man who has banned so many been so loved. Best wishes for the future Scott, looking forward to you sticking around.

Pell.
Its just across the road from work - its packed out. They have a screen of the ceremony playing outside. So many people there to make sure the guy who facilitated the abuse of children is...

Man I'm so nervous about this referendum.
To my mind nobody talks to the real advantage which is to have a people representing a philosophical perspective of how to exist in this country - without...

Yep - how he really really wanted a peaceful outcome.
Arrogant bullying aerosol.

I don't think a stove should be made out of wood. IMHO

disgusting.
Happens here too.

They've got a like button!
I'm not sure i like a like button.

Matt, my vote for 'No Like Button'.

Sorry for quick question - 50 miles = Nautical miles?

I swear by those self bailers for small boats - really good. When you're not moving they let in a little bit, but you'll always have a little...

Malaysia, interesting off-the-top-of-my-head geographic location from 'Mr. Lugs'.

but, hmmm, lots of syllables in that sentence. Jury is out for me.


However, 33 posts and barely a nice word...

As I understand it we've been experiencing a La Niña weather event for a couple of years. This means massive rainfall here with the reciprocal drought on the eastern side of the Pacific. I had...

Stating the obvious, but doing it well. He is a wordsmith first.

Well, we tried...

Ukraine also has tank battalions that are doing a pretty good job.
Learning tank craft, and integrating it into their operations, is not an issue.

sure, the indicator will be on the left....I...

^ regarding Johan's quote, Russia is struggling to keep its army professional and disciplined.
It gave away the fact that phones brought a rain of death, but underplayed the figures - though kept...

Maybe he doesn't realise it was Russia who invaded Ukraine. I mean - its all over the news....?



You take this guy seriously? He sounds like our resident equivocists - all hyperbole and insult,...

Hmmm

There was a response to a post i made that had precisely that written. I didn't respond at the time but I did make a mental note. It appears to no longer exist...
I retract that statement...

10 submarines worth?

Progressive aims and objectives tend to be complex. The arguments have too many moving parts and appear trixy.

By contrast conservative arguments are simple and appeal to inherited wisdoms that...

Ahem - Museum of Australia, and the Australian Museum, are two different places :)

That link is from Unsettled - I was the producer on it. ;)
I don't get many opportunities to brag.

Sandtown, what does your response mean?

You have said that the war would end if Zelensky agrees to Russia's terms. Tom has quite eloquently laid out what those terms mean.

Maybe explain to us...

^The result of decades of building a 'base' made up of one issue voters.
If they back pedal on nut-whackery they scare away voters.

In Australia, where voting is compulsory, this would result in...

Israel?

Did you catch how he proposes to do it? Being a potential leader of the free world with experience wielding the accompanying resources an all. He must have a plan.

Or are we just playing a game of...

Lugs, are you a religious person? I'm not at all, but I was raised in very Catholic Ireland.
For Catholics there are things and places that are sacrosanct; like the tabernacle that houses the holy...

Still ignoring how he tried to blackmail this country?

He didn't give any clues as to this 'easy' solution by any chance?
Must be a simpleton troll thing.

If you must reply, please don't quote.

End March, April, Is the spring thaw?

i wasn't as tuned into these matters this time last year. Was't it in the mud that Ukraine surged and Russia stumbled that time last year?

#9063 you're kicking goals today!

I think your vision of 150 years and more of earned peace and mutual benefit/ influence is a terrific, highly possible, model.
I think you're describing the road...

Rabbits. Just catch them before you start.


there was paper (he he) that circulated in Australia a while back that said 50% of people wipe front to back, and 50% back toward the front.

Waiting for the weather to pass.

Oh to have been a fly on the wall when Putin heard about the Leopards.
Well done Germany, they had a psychological mountain to climb and they did it. I think I'm the years to come we'll look in awe...

Great chair. Love it

Cute pics of the kids. Peeling off tape to reveal a nice clean line is soooo satisfying!

Whats it take to convert a kero (JP-8) engine to ordinary diesel?
New injectors? New injector pump? I had a 3 cylinder diesel die in a boat, high pressure side problem, bloody difficult task to swap...

I'm impressed with your use of the work bollocks.
I wish i had as much command of Polish. As it is, from hanging out with a bunch of Polish guys in Holland in the 90's, i can say Czesc and Curva...

A strangle hold that would prevent the first step might be parts. If Germany refuses to sell parts to a country that re-exported without consent, the re-export is dead in the water. It's probably a...

The challenger weighs as much as the M1, which is why it won't see the front line. It's actually a liability. But it does run on normal diesel. The M1 needs a specialised kerosene. The Ukrainians...
