While that’s true, the deeper truth was that i didn’t want to have to consort with people like them any more than i had to.
Not even for a fat wad of cash??
The wad was not that fat, the bullshit was much greater, and the lack of morality the most discouraging.
All that. Stupid power trip posturing is disheartening as well.
All of this sounds like doing politics. Except they DO get the fat wads of cash

But what about…correctly identifying one of the Cortinarius mushrooms? I’ve been having discussions about those in the last couple of days. Much argy bargy amongst the academics (of which I am not one) about whether it is OK to use Northern hemisphere names for ones that grow here. Because most of ours have not been properly IDd yet. But in my opinion a name nicked from the Northern hemisphere will do in the interim period because it tells you what the thing looks like. If you only put a genus name (Cortinarius) on it, anyone trying to gather observations together for research has to check all the Cortinarius observations. As Cortinarius are often brightly coloured, I think it’s helpful to label them with something that tells you if the organism in the observation is one of the brown ones, one of the red ones, or one of the red/purple ones. Finer naming can happen later when the academics have worked out what they want to call it – and published their reasons.

My dog will run up and down the footpath on our street, but she wont cross the road and she wont leave our block.. after a while she just comes home and knocks on the front door to be let in… all our neighbours are aware of who she is and where she lives.. and no-one worries about her anymore…
She does look like a stray because she cant wear a collar… but she’s quick and, though many have tried, she cannot be caught.

Australia has no where near the problem with illegal immigrants that America does.
America has a problem with illegal immigrants because it’s borders are much more porous than Australias. A hardline approach to existing illegal immigrants in America makes a kinda sorta warped twisted sense, if you (You being Trump and co) don’t have any better solutions, but it’s completely irrelevant to Australia.
This woman you’re talking about Kii… the problem with here is she doesn’t understand the world in rational terms. She has a narrative constructed in her head which she thinks actually describes the world.

This woman you’re talking about Kii… the problem with here is she doesn’t understand the world in rational terms. She has a narrative constructed in her head which she thinks actually describes the world.
Well exactly. We don’t a ;and border. Everyone has to arrive by air or by sea, so there is much greater control over arrivals. if Australia has any “problem” with illegal immigrants, it is those people who arrive legally on some sort of a temporary visa and don’t leave when they said they would. Most of these people are from modern wealthy countries in the first place, and are generally educated and literate, and speak English well enough. They are not the sort of desperate poor and illiterate people fleeing poverty and corruption in their busted-arse home country (apart from the Welsh and Geordies).

Yeah, illegal immigration is a “thing” in Australia. But it’s not important or relevant. It’s just a talking point for bigots.
Australia has plenty of capacity to accommodate the desperate and the poor that turn up on our shores. America, some capacity but not so much. That’s my point. The woman Kii is talking about is just living in a fantasy world rather than the real world.

I think it is more a case of people consuming American talking points and assuming that every country is the same. It is lacking the nuance or detail to see other countries differently. I agree she is living in what she perceives to be the US, whether than perception be realistic or fanciful. But I object to having that world projected onto Australia and assuming that we are the same. I’m a rejectionist of that sort of cultural uniformity thinking.

Sometimes in on-line conversations I’m asked what it is I support, what “side” I come down on.

Q: Do I support democracy or autocracy?
A: It depends on the circumstances.
Q: Do you support a womens right to abortion?
A: It depends on the circumstances.
As thing stand today, I support democracy and the right to abortion.
If we, humanity, were in a situation where we were in danger of being wiped out by invading Aliens; 40,000 of us left and our only hope of survival dependent on a governing body capable of authoritarian rule and the banning of abortion, I’d support autocracy and the strictest possible punishment’s on women who aborted their fetuses’.

I don’t fit neatly into any particular box either. I am neither woke liberal nor conservative. neither socialist nor capitalist. I’m a pragmatic localist. Each country, even each state or province, should do what works best for them. There is no one size fits all set of political, cultural and economic polices that suit everybody in every time period. Some things suit different regions, sometimes the policies of the past lead in the long term to problems in the present or future. This is why I reject US-centric cultural and political uniformity thinking.

That immigrants have rights, that employers are often to blame for hiring undocumented people. She slagged off about Albo. She’s a First Nations woman and thinks she’s safer here than in Australia.

That’s true.
However, most decent and reasonable people would have a sort of innate understanding of the idea that no-one signs on to a job expecting that they will be on call, and expected to be ready to devote themselves to that job, at any and all of the 24 hours in a day (hey, that sounds like the Navy!), and that, occasionally, just occasionally, they might like to feel released from standing ready to respond to the whims of their employer.

No, rabbits are not rodents. While they were previously classified as rodents, they are now classified in their own order, Lagomorpha, which includes rabbits, hares, and pikas.
Here’s why they are not rodents:
Incisor Teeth: Rodents have two incisors (one on top, one on the bottom), while rabbits have four incisors (two on top, two on the bottom).

They acted in did the video clips, and all the PR work, but they mimed along at all the performances. The actual singers and music was performed by others and recorded. The whistle eventually got blown and they lost their awards and honours. big public backlash too and they lost all popularity and credibility.

Far from the first – you may recall Plastic Bertrand, he of “Ca Plane Pour Moi” fame….released four LPs back in the late 70s/early 80s…it came out a few years back that he’d had nothing to do with any of them. All he did was jump around and mime in film clips.

They did try to release music with their real voices, but it didn’t sell well. The real voices also tried to release music, which sold a bit better but certainly not Milli Vanilli level.

I’ll elaborate because that was very obscure.

That’s not to say we didn’t all have our foibles about accumulating stuff. My metric is to keep things of monetary value. Case in point I have two portable USB hard-drives somewhere that now that my little bedroom Android TV requires extra storage space for reasons I don’t write grok I haven’t the foggiest where I’ve put them.

They were a fraud/fake duo.
They acted in did the video clips, and all the PR work, but they mimed along at all the performances. The actual singers and music was performed by others and recorded. The whistle eventually got blown and they lost their awards and honours. big public backlash too and they lost all popularity and credibility.
Late 80s or early 90s.
I think that was very unfair to the actual artist, it doesn’t matter who is in the film clip. The song is still the song. If a song wins an award and the artist didn’t appear in the film clip, then so what…

Far from the first – you may recall Plastic Bertrand, he of “Ca Plane Pour Moi” fame….released four LPs back in the late 70s/early 80s…it came out a few years back that he’d had nothing to do with any of them. All he did was jump around and mime in film clips.
Michael Bentine said that Plastic Bertrand was genius.
Don’t know about genius, but I quite like it.
Plastic Bertrand – Ca Plane Pour Moi (1977) • TopPop
I mean it’s bloody obvious he isn’t singing, but he’s part of the act.

That always struck me as a weird one. I can understand the MV case, because the actual singers are a bit ordinary looking and the fronts were models.
But Plastique Bertram looks like rubbish and Lou Deprijck sounds bad.
Maybe they should have swapped.

No, doesn’t resemble me…now, if it was lots of pieces of sewing material, buttons, zips, reels of cotton, lace etc, different sizes, different colours…that would resemble me.
Then it does resemble you.
My studio was full of similar things to your stashes, plus art supplies. mr kii’s workshop was like the video, except 10x the amounts – plus tools and consumable supplies.

As established, we don’t know when Adam and Eve started having daughters (or for that matter whether Abel had a wife and children unmentioned in the narrative). We also know that Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born, so there could have been several generations of people born in between Genesis 4:1 and Genesis 4:17 (the first time that Cain’s wife is mentioned). Therefore, we don’t know whether Cain or Seth married their direct siblings—one of them might have done so and the other married a niece or cousin. Regardless, sheer math would indicate that at least one of Adam’s three sons married a sister.
This idea is disturbing and goes against the laws forbidding incest in Leviticus 18. However, before this law was given in Leviticus, there were various instances of men marrying their sisters or other relatives. Abraham’s wife Sarah was his half-sister by a different mother (Genesis 20:11-13). Jacob married two of his female cousins (Genesis 29-30). Moses’ father married his aunt (Exodus 6:20). For whatever reason, the law against incest doesn’t seem to have been in effect (at least not as strictly) before God made the covenant with the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
Why this shift occurred is hard to say. Since Genesis describes all that was created in the Garden of Eden as good, including Adam and Eve, their genes may have been well-developed to the point that their kids could marry siblings and produce children with no genetic defects. This would fit the shift we see in Genesis from early generations with long lives producing children past their 100s to humans with shorter lives and shorter fertility rates. We go from Adam and Eve, who were still having children when they were over 100 years old (Seth was born when Adam was 130), to Abraham and Sarah who were past child-bearing age when Sarah was 90 and Abraham 100 years old (Genesis 17:17, 18:12). In Genesis 6:3, God decrees that humans will only live to be 120 years old, and other than a few patriarchs this holds true throughout the rest of the Bible.
So, it’s possible that in Cain and Abel’s period, human genetics were so good that all the biological problems that incest creates (mutations, etc.) weren’t a problem. Regardless, God does forbid incest later (and then quite firmly) in the Bible. However we interpret who Adam and Eve’s sons married, we are left with the fact that the Bible doesn’t tell us every single bit of information we want. It gives us the facts we need and leaves us with reminders that whatever strange things people in the Bible did, God knew what he was doing and worked something good from it down the line.

it is hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.
“…we are left with the fact that the Bible doesn’t tell us every single bit of information we want. “
As an erstwhile Premier of Qld would have put it:
‘Don’t you worry about that’.
I just liked all the gymnastics the article did just to say the Bible says fuck all about the good bits.
If the oldest sons bred with their sisters, the sisters would have been several decades younger if they came after Seth. But you know, these religious types never worry about age of girls.
