I feel like Iâm only left with sarcastic mockery on the AGW issue.
After years and considerable studious effort, I believe it to be a fraud of magnificent historical proportion.
(At least since the Big Bang, which is totally accurate settled Science.)
Humans constructing âScienceâ to determine what nature would look like without humans is absurd.
Since Pandemic, Iâm really sick of being beaten with a Science stick.

Prof. Harald Walach
The RKI Files Show: The Government Has Lied to Us
“The German governmentâs reactions to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had nothing to do with science, facts and real threats, but were politically motivated. Whether this motivation had the well-being of the citizens in mind is doubtful in view of the many lies that were served up.
…
The PCR tests were false positive in 86.5% of all those who tested positive and measures imposed on the basis of these tests had no scientific basis.
…
The government lied to the population by claiming that the âmeasuresâ to contain a SARS-CoV-2 âpandemicâ were science-based. The measures and the criteria for them were prescribed by politicians. Why, with what goal, with what motivation, about that the executive should be accountable to the population. And it would be time for competent science journalists to demand this from the government and for lawyers to follow up.
…
The RKI lied to the population, presumably on behalf of the government.
…
These debacles must be dealt with publicly, transparently and honestly. That is the only thing that will help democracy in this country. No demonstrations against or in favour of anything, no rushing to prevent supposedly false information. But a reappraisal. And as I see it, this includes admitting mistakes, publicly naming the guilty parties, possibly taking legal action and rehabilitating those wrongly ostracized and installing processes that can prevent a repetition. The minimum would be a rejection of the WHO pandemic and health treaties.”

Skepticynic,
Interesting article. I like its conclusions, but the maths looks dodgy to me.
Why are they using *cumulative* figures? Worse, it looks like it’s cumulative *percentages*, which would be ridiculous. I.e. it would be nonsense to add yesterday’s 5% positives to today’s 3% positives to say we now have 8% cumulative positives. But there the graph goes skyrocketing up to 100%, and presumably beyond, if the Y-axis were long enough.
Picture the graph that would illustrate their conclusion — that IgG positives (real COVID cases) are 13.5% of PCR positives, and follow them by about two weeks — just plot PCR positive proportions (as they have in the darker blue), and the IgG positive proportions (which they’ve left out), and you’d expect to see the IgG a shrunken version of the PCR, delayed by a couple of weeks. That would be very compelling.
I suspect they tried it, and it didn’t look that great. Instead they give us mumbo-jumbo from the Michael Mann whatever it takes school of statistics.

“only left with sarcastic mockery on the AGW issue”

Rest assured that you are being beaten by the “The Science” Hockey stick by non scientists.
Self identifying Climate Scientists are not scientists or just opportunists. The model was set by utterly science ignorant Al Gore who studied English and switched to Politics. In Australia our Government appointed Chief Climate commissioner’s degree was English. Of his Climate Commissioners, none were meteorologists, real scientists.
There are now millions of ‘Climate Scientists’ living the dream. Real scientists with jobs work for the government or big business and dare not say anything because every politician and company director is a Climate Scientist. It’s a very profitable religion, political science fiction. No one cares that it’s made up rubbish.
The only scientists who speak out against Climate Science are retired or independent or very brave. Dr Judith Curry now has her own consultancy telling the truth to corporates. All that matters is the sun and the oceans, not CO2. She says even the IPCC has stopped the dire warnings completely, but not the UN.
You get the same beat up phenomenon in the Universities in the History department. Oppression of the truth. In Post modernism, there is no truth and facts don’t matter at all. This has been adopted by all politicians as the only path to power and fame and wealth.
160
We don’t even know if time or material corporeal reality exists outside of the human mind.
Much less which part of the weather is caused by us or not.
The whole damn shebang may be ‘anthropogenic’.

Honk,
The clincher for me is the almost 100% silence when AGW pushers are asked for examples of actual harm from their claims of adverse effects. It all relies on being quiet about harms that should have been evident by now but are not, coupled with massive publicity about what “will” or “might” happen in the future.
A ready example is the “Social Cost of Carbon” always coming out as a detriment through dishonest selection of factors, when it is patently obvious that, for example, crop yields are enhanced by more CO2 in the air, helping make SCC a benefit. Geoff S

Don’t understand? There is not only abuse of science for political purposes, as per your example above, but there is also pseudo-science, junk science, as well as accepted theories speculating about matters which cannot be tested, dressed up as science, (like the big bang).

Unscientific American: Science journalism surrenders to progressive ideology.
https://www.city-journal.org/article/unscientific-american
“In continuous publication since 1845, Scientific American is the countryâs leading mainstream science magazine……In the twenty-first century, however, American scientific media, including Scientific American, began to slip into lockstep with progressive beliefs. Suddenly, certain orthodoxiesâespecially concerning race, gender, or climateâcouldnât be questioned.”

Lance,
The Rockefeller Foundation gained public respect in early times by helping to delineate certain diseases then funding research to help reduce incidence. Fast forward to 2010+, to see RF and some other big charities taking the same unscientific path as Scientific American, which should be barred from using that title because it is no longer scientific or American.
Rockefeller are no longer just compliant partners with trendy shitty stuff like DEI and ESG. They are at the front, inventing new woke and funding people like Columbia School of Journalism to publicise their inventions.
Have a read of recent annual report type statements from Rockefeller. They are no longer candidates for the public to feel nice about. They are at the pointy end of depriving people of their civil liberties, like freedom to speak, what car to buy, what type of electrical generation, to join causes like genital mutilation. Ugly stuff.
Time to flip a few stones about charity bodies,their funding, their expenditure with tax benefits to harm innocents. Geoff S

So sad!
Looks to be mostly recoverable. The solar farm is being built in stages. I think the first stage was less than half the 600MW possible. Not much debris in the water so little risk of contamination.
It is supposed to be a backwater but the westward fetch is 7km so easy to get 1m waves and 30mph winds would be capable for 3m waves in open ocean.
Will need a wave attenuator along the western side. Maybe that was coming but towards the end of construction. Might need to rejig the schedule.

Now student debt is being wiped out by the Biden Administration, our illustrious (thatâs illustrious, not industrious) government in Australia is following suit.
Just like with the car emissions targets, the immigration flood into Oz, the no-bail, catch and release judicial system for the youngsters, the ignoring of racist taunts and threats of violence from the leftâŚ..the banning of fracking and banning domestic gas use appliancesâŚ.and Iâm sure thereâs more.
Is Obama running our âdown underâ land as well? And/or are our federal lefties unable to think for themselves?
200
I believe the last time the geriatric in chief, old Biden poopy pants, tried that the Supreme court knocked it on the head.
He comes out with these grand gestures, signing an executive order to great lame stream media fanfare touted from the roof tops, because he knows when it gets knocked on the head by the Supreme court as unconstitutional, it will be nothing but the sound of crickets as the lame stream morons will say nothing about it.
150
He knows it’s illegal. And that the Supreme Court will reject it. But it’s been four years and the new group of students believe everything they are told. That’s what students do. That’s why they support HAMAS.
70
It’s insane that most of these students are being forgiven their loans, especially when they are mostly not being trained to do anything useful with their studies of nonsense subjects like “gender studies”, “whiteness studies”, “queer theory”, “climate change”, “sustainability” etc..
They should go straight to gainful employment such as burger flipping, not waste several years studying these subjects at what today passes as a “university”.

20
No loans- none zero zilch are being forgiven. All they are doing is back adjusting 2 years of the indexation to a lower number (wage growth rather than cpi). Their debt is still going up.
20
Adjusting 2 years of indexation to a lower level ….sounds like some of the debt has been wiped off to me ….and I’m sure some debts will be cleared.
10
Not so much Gerry. They indexed the HECS debt to some version of the CPI which included housing prices, which have gone wildly high due to the influx of 700,000 people who need homes. Hence the student debt was “indexed” to rise by 7% last year. All they’ve done is reduced that to that usual 3% type rise.
Basically, our universities depend on foreign student income, which caused a housing crisis which means Australian Z-gen can’t buy homes and then were also supposedly going to pay even more for their indoctrination/university eduction as well.
It seems a tad unfair to assume the assets of uni students, and their ability to pay off debt, was rising with the price of houses they can’t afford.

Do the university students receive a government living allowance while “studying”?

Where Unsold EVs Go To Die: Belgium’s Ports Drowning Under Glut Of Chinese Imports
“Some are parked here for a year, sometimes more.”
Le Monde reports Belgiumâs ports drowning under glut of Chinese electric cars: âSome are parked here for a year, sometimes moreâ
Due to Chinaâs overcapacity in production â as it aims to capture a quarter of the European electric vehicle market â the ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge are inundated.
You probably need to see it to appreciate the challenges the automobile industry faces in transitioning to electricity. You also need to come here to understand how the Chinese industryâs overcapacity has flooded the European market.
SEE LINK FOR MORE:
130
Would be interesting to see a full inventory of the Chinese EVs at the ports. Are all those cars pictured BEVs? And hard to estimate with just the available photos. A single ship can carry up around 10,000 cars. They would cover about 10 hectares. So about 5 times the MCG playing surface.
Chinese made cars are rapidly increasing market share in Australia. I would not recommend one but plenty of people would prefer new and uncertain quality to second hand and uncertain history.

I just heard a brief statement on Their ABC Radio that apparently there are high rates of flu among children and covid and low vaccination rates are being blamed.
It wasn’t elucidated how “covid” was to blame for the high rate of flu but people on this blog would be aware of immune system depression due to the covid genetic “vaccines”. Perhaps that bit of information leaked out without acknowledging the actual reason?

Reposting in today’s thread because I mistakenly posted this in an older thread yesterday.
Climate Champion, Twiggy, is angry that the Biden administration will only provide hydrogen subsidies if you use renewable energy sources. Twiggy was planning on using cheap coal powered energy from the grid to receive green hydrogen subsidies in the States LOL Looks like his plans have backfired once again! I’m not sure what planet Twiggy lives on but I fail to see how you can call hydrogen “green” if its powered by the entire energy mix of a local power grid.
Of course, he blames the fossil fuel companies for this subsidy requirement.

Lots of interesting data and figures in that report. So renewables subsidies are $15.6bn annually and climbing. For that amount, we could be building modern coal, gas or nuclear power plants every few years.
Still not sure about Mentonâs 26 dayâs backup figure though. I find it difficult to believe that this amount is required.

48 hours. So far I believe that longest period when all wind fell below 10%.
Whatâs never mentioned is the actual reliability figure. Naturally this should be the same as that expected by other energy suppliers. I know that this figure is higher than 98%, but not sure of the exact value.
Iâve never seen any calculations starting from a known reliability figure, and I firmly believe this MUST be the starting point.
Really long periods as 50 or 100 years, even 10 or 5 years, arenât used when planning (or the lack of planning) to cope with droughts and floods, so why should these long periods be used for dunkelflautes?

Interesting to see how it goes on my Knees – Sports Medicne Specicalist said too old for surgery (besides being too slack for rehab) – so giving it a try!
Alocuro provides medical devices, training and technical clinical support for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedures.
Platelet-Rich Plasma describes a portion of a patientâs blood that contains a high concentration of platelets within a small volume of plasma. Alocuro PRP equipment is latest technology and offers an excellent platelet collection efficiency – average of 90% with the ability to customise the platelet number, leukocyte number within the PRP for injection. Alocuro is a TGA listed, PRP kit supplier to radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, rheumatologists, pain medicine physicians, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, general practitioners, dentists, aesthetic medicine doctors & registered nurses, nurse practitioners working under the professional supervision of an Alocuro trained medical practitioner.
Alocuro devices can provide a high platelet concentration of up to 9x baseline, with ability to reduce leukocytes to a very low leukocyte concentration of 0.15x baseline and extremely low neutrophil collection of 0.3% if required. Whilst not yet fully decided, it is thought that this type of PRP ârecipeâ is ideal for joint injections to treat symptomatic osteoarthritis and for chronic tendon conditions.
For many PRP procedures, a platelet concentration of 3-6 x is used.
To protect patient safety, there is TGA legislation regulating PRP procedures within Australia. Alocuro PRP devices are listed on the ARTG register and they are approved by the TGA specifically for the purpose of manufacturing platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Alocuro system and protocols meet the current TGA regulations and the PRP produced is âregulated as blood components, but exempt from most regulation requirements when the Alocuro PRP procedures have medical practitioner professional supervision. This is because Alocuro’s system is a point-of-care therapy, involves minimal manipulation of patient’s blood and the collected PRP is used as a homologous application.
Alocuro devices offer the latest technology for PRP kits available within Australia. All items required to manufacture a high platelet concentration and âpureâ PRP are provided

Today’s word: “Limnic”
A limnic eruption, also known as a lake overturn, is a very rare type of natural disaster in which dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from deep lake waters, forming a gas cloud capable of asphyxiating wildlife, livestock, and humans.
On 21 August 1986, a limnic eruption at Lake Nyos in northwestern Cameroon killed 1,746 people and 3,500 livestock.
The eruption triggered the sudden release of about 100,000â300,000 tons (1.6 million tons, according to some sources) of carbon dioxide (CO2).The gas cloud initially rose at nearly 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph; 28 m/s) and then, being heavier than air, descended onto nearby villages, suffocating people and livestock within 25 kilometres (16 mi) of the lake.

Nemesis was the Roman name for the Greek goddess of revenge and divine retribution. The goddess who delivered justice against those who committed sins against divine order through hubris, arrogance or excessive pride.
Trump is not really that Nemesis of those riding the âfantastic train of Kafka-esque corruption, tyranny, and abuseâ. Their Nemesis appears to be a US Constitution which protects American working classes against arbitrary government actions.
Trumpâs appeal to those Americans lies in his record of supporting the US Constitution.
The Blob appears to hate those Americans and feel justified in that hatred to the extent of genocide.

“Less War? This Is How”
“You won’t like this opinion — I guarantee it.
Nonetheless its true.
Why did the King, in days of old, get out in front of his troops on his horse, with his superior barding and the best of swords? Why didn’t he go hide in his castle while his army prosecuted the war?
He didn’t do that out of valor.
He did it because he knew that if his army lost the other side would come to his rather-obvious place (its not like you can hide a castle!), kill him and every other person in his family line except perhaps the women and girls who would be raped and forced to bear the children of those who vanquished him.
He thus had every reason to do everything he could to prevent that, and if he was going to lose he might as well lose big right up front because the outcome for everyone else was not in doubt.”

Eighty years ago, in the Holocaust, the Jewish people were totally defenseless against those who sought our destruction.
No nation came to our aid.
Today, we again confront enemies bent on our destruction.
I say to the leaders of the world, no amount of pressure, no decision by any international forum, will stop Israel from defending itself.
As the Prime Minister of Israel â the one and only Jewish state â I pledge here today from Jerusalem on this Holocaust Remembrance Day:
If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone. But we know we are not alone because countless decent people around the world support our just cause. And I say to you, we will defeat our genocidal enemies.
Never again is now!

More than half of NSW strata buildings have defects, new research reveals – 78 Page pdf
Structural, water proofing and fire safety defects have been wreaking havoc across NSWâs strata buildings.
A new report has revealed 53 per cent of NSW buildings have had serious defects over the past 5 years, with only half resolved within one year.
The number has risen from 39 per cent in 2021 with the most common defects including waterproofing, fire safety, structural and key services issues such as lifts and plumbing.
The report, by The Strata Community Association (SCA) NSW and the Office of the Building Commissioner, has revealed that more than half of all strata buildings had serious defects between 2016 â 2022, with an estimated $79 million spent by owners corporations to fix the issues.
The average cost of rectifying serious defects was $283,000 per building.
The most common defects reported waterproofing (42 per cent), fire safety systems (24 per cent), building enclosures (19 per cent), structural issues (15 per cent), key services such as plumbing and elevators (14 per cent), and non-compliant cladding (8 per cent).

What’s a few A$ trillion amongst rent-seeking friends?”
Back-up costs – the Elephant in the Room
We can supposedly model the climate out to many decades, yet are unable to model a power grid where more highly variable power sources replace existing reliable power sources out to a few years.
A very basic question is how many days of back up storage is required for a variable source solar and wind power grid with no coal or natural gas?
The “Big Batteries” installed in Australia to date would provide around 4 minutes of national back-up power if called to do so (the are there for grid stability and not back-up).
When the storage requirement runs into weeks the costs of batteries runs into the A$ Trillions.
Perhaps this is why there has been no modelling!

Sad truth behind Thai jointâs unpopular sign revealed
The owner of a popular Thai food joint has come under fire for surprising charges on his menu.
Boon Low, the owner of the independent Victorian Dodee Paidang restaurant chain with four stores in greater Melbourne, said surcharges are the only way forward in a tough economic climate.
This includes a 15 per cent public holiday surcharge and 10 per cent Sunday charge, which are common throughout Australia, but also a 5 per cent surcharge on Saturdays and 10 per cent if itâs âlate nightâ,
Speaking candidly to news.com.au, Mr Low said that the cost pressures on the hospitality industry have made the current economic climate âas bad as Covidâ for small businesses.
Among them are increased land taxes, rent, and food costs, which have almost doubled in some cases, and wages, which are expected to increase again this year.
âWeâre an honest operator that doesnât owe anyone a single cent, we have full time staff, we pay over half a million dollars in rent, we pay the land tax on the building and itâs costing us fortune,â he said.
Ultimately Mr Low fears that Melbourneâs iconic dining culture, which drew him to Victoria from Western Australia in the first place, is under threat.
âI remember Melbourne 15 years ago as a vibrant city, a city that was always open and there was always something interesting to find,â he added.
âNow, thatâs just not going to happen.
âYou can see the amount of retail and hospitality businesses are folding.â

Death Of Self-Checkout, Walmart Charges For It In Some Locations
Theft and complaints are taking a toll on self-checkout. Now, Walmart wants you to pay $98 a year for Walmart+ for the self-checkout privilege at some stores.
In 2022, Dollar General said self-checkout was so successful and popular with customers that it tried making some stores entirely self-checkout. A year later, CEO Todd Vasos pulled back on those plans.
âWe had relied and started to rely too much this year on self-checkout in our stores,â Vasos said on a December earnings call. âWe should be using self-checkout as a secondary checkout vehicle, not a primary.â
In March, the company said it would remove self-checkout for stores with the highest levels of shrink. For remaining stores with self-checkout, it would limit customers to scanning five items or fewer.

Self-Checkout is handy when you are buying condoms and lubricant – but it is a while since I needed these.

CO2 Lover,
The following is for wordplay or word foreplay, nothing personal.
You comment about condoms “. … but is a while since I needed these” lacks context, so here is scientific analysis to clarify.
1. Are said condoms intended for use by you, a partner or several partners or are you asking for a friend?
2. Are such partners or partner male or female?
3. By which criteria, biological or chosen?
4. Do you carry testicles that produce sperm?
5. Is you lessened demand for condoms intended for more spread of your genetic gifts via more bareback rides, or for lesser progeny through less frequent copulation, or are the condoms for another use such as a flexible numbat feeder?
6. Has your GP discussed the contraceptive pill with you?
7. Modern science is using more models for problem solving. Have you tried a model such as input-output analysis, or tried polystyrene models?
8. You mention lubricants. Are you coupling with guilt from hydrocarbon products that our leaders tell us are causing an existential climax?
9. Do you agree that numbats have feelings?

Economic estimation of Bitcoin miningâs climate damages demonstrates closer resemblance to digital crude than digital gold
This paper provides economic estimates of the energy-related climate damages of mining Bitcoin (BTC), the dominant proof-of-work cryptocurrency. We provide three sustainability criteria for signaling when the climate damages may be unsustainable. BTC mining fails all three. We find that for 2016â2021: (i) per coin climate damages from BTC were increasing, rather than decreasing with industry maturation; (ii) during certain time periods, BTC climate damages exceed the price of each coin created; (iii) on average, each $1 in BTC market value created was responsible for $0.35 in global climate damages, which as a share of market value is in the range between beef production and crude oil burned as gasoline, and an order-of-magnitude higher than wind and solar power. Taken together, these results represent a set of sustainability red flags. While proponents have offered BTC as representing âdigital gold,â from a climate damages perspective it operates more like âdigital crudeâ.

John,
Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme . Nearly all currencies are now . Banking systems worldwide create money without any assets to back them which has more and more money chasing the available goods and services . This causes inflation . Some punters believe that digital currencies won’t suffer as much as they are seen as an “asset”, but currency is only worth anything if people will take it for payments . Bitcoin has been a currency that was until recently “untracable” but that is also its weakness – it only exists in the “cloud” and can be made illegal to trade or convert and that will crash its value . The Bankman Fried Saga should be a warning to the problems of digital currencies .

In 1971 Richard Nixon “suspended” the convertablity of US dollars into gold.
This resulted in the price of gold in going from around $30 a troy ounce to $2,323 in devalued US dollars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_shock#/media/File:Price_of_gold.webp
20
Well said CO2 Lover. And the long term value of gold has a long way to go. To stop people shifting out of dollars and into gold there are 6 trillion reasons for those who create currency to manipulate the price of gold through the “paper gold” futures market. Vast sums of borrowed money buy certificates for gold that doesn’t exist to keep the price of gold from rising too fast.
The real crunch comes when those people who hold a certificate try to collect their ounce…

Gold has stood the test of time
Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.

Evidence Review of the Adverse Effects of COVID-19 Vaccination and Intramuscular Vaccine Administration
(2024)
Vaccines are a public health success story, as they have prevented or lessened the effects of many infectious diseases. To address concerns around potential vaccine injuries, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) administers the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), which provide compensation to those who assert that they were injured by routine vaccines or medical countermeasures, respectively. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have contributed to the scientific basis for VICP compensation decisions for decades.
HRSA asked the National Academies to convene an expert committee to review the epidemiological, clinical, and biological evidence about the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and specific adverse events, as well as intramuscular administration of vaccines and shoulder injuries.

Barack Obama, 21st-Century Schizoid Man
By Pete McArdle
âCongruityâ is having the things you think and deeply believe match up with your actual words and actions. Most people fall short of absolute congruity, but the smaller the gap, or âschism,â between your talk and your walk, the happier and more fulfilled you are.
And the bigger the schism, the more troubled, angry, and unhappy you are.
With that in mind, who could possibly be more conflicted, disturbed, or downright resentful than the man currently sailing our ship of state into a stone jetty at about ninety knots?
Joe Biden, you say?
No, silly! Heâs not running anything, except maybe his mouth when heâs occasionally allowed to.
No, poor old Joe isnât running things now, nor was he back when he was âelectedâ and still had two neurons to rub together.
Itâs always been Barack Obama.
Barry Oâs the puppet master whoâs been running the show for fifteen years now, eight overtly and seven covertly, leading the Deep State efforts against sitting President Trump and later telling senile Joe exactly what to say on notecards and teleprompters.
And who could be more schizoid than the Lightbringer?
He tells the world, as the self-proclaimed first black president, that Whitey is inherently and systemically racist, whether he knows it or not. And meanwhile, Barryâs halfâwhite supremacist himself!
Imagine hating half of yourself for the sins your distant forefathers may or may have not committed against distant relatives of your other half. Terribly confusing, no?
And in a love letter, young Obama tells a girlfriend that he feels androgynous and that he âmakes love to men daily, in [his] imagination,â a sentence no heterosexual man has ever written, at least in recorded history. This certainly explains Barryâs love for the LBGTetc. movement, but not his attempt to sell the American electorate on a presidential candidate ostensibly deeply in love with a woman.
And imagine pretending to the American public that youâre a devout Christian, and then saying that the adhan, the Isl@mic call to prayer, is âone of the prettiest sounds on Earth.â

See who’s pulling the puppet master’s strings.

Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose
Researchers have devised an attack against nearly all virtual private network applications that forces them to send and receive some or all traffic outside of the encrypted tunnel designed to protect it from snooping or tampering.
TunnelVision, as the researchers have named their attack, largely negates the entire purpose and selling point of VPNs, which is to encapsulate incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in an encrypted tunnel and to cloak the userâs IP address. The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when theyâre connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user’s VPN runs on Linux or Android. They also said their attack technique may have been possible since 2002 and may already have been discovered and used in the wild since then.
Interestingly, Android is the only operating system that fully immunizes VPN apps from the attack because it doesn’t implement option 121. For all other OSes, there are no complete fixes. When apps run on Linux thereâs a setting that minimizes the effects, but even then TunnelVision can be used to exploit a side channel that can be used to de-anonymize destination traffic and perform targeted denial-of-service attacks.

NATO will all pile into Ukraine and push Russia back to their border and then stop?
NATO will all pile into Ukraine and hold the line where it is now?
NATO will all pile into Ukraine and try to do what Russia has done to Ukraine, destroy their ability to make war by destroying their armies and all weapons?
NATO will all pile into Ukraine and push the Russians back over their border and take Moscow.
NATO will all pile into Ukraine, get stopped by Russia and ground to dust over the next decade…
Once living standards in Germany, the UK and America fall below those in Russia people will rapidly lose interest in fighting that war.

Germany has been reluctant to get too involved, fearing armageddon, they won’t be sending troops to Ukraine.
NATO is not going to put troops on the ground in Ukraine either and definitely nobody is going to invade Russia, not even Crimea.
The West will win the war by destroying military infrastructure in Crimea over the summer months, forcing the Russian troops to retreat to Moscow.

Weekend Australian 6-7 April 2024
Albanese Labor Government has signed a contract and issued orders and a down payment with Rolls-Royce Derby, Derbyshire, UK for Small Modular Reactors scheduled for delivery to be installed into the new generation AUKUS nuclear submarines to be built in South Australia, UK and USA will also build this new design.
Rolls-Royce have manufactured SMRs for the UK Navy for about 60 years, Westinghouse and other firms have manufactured for US Navy nuclear submarines for over 75 years.
The article also indicated that Rolls-Royce plan to be able to start supplying SMR electricity generator plants from 2030, each factory made components to be erected and fitted out on location, 470MW capacity, 4 years to build on site, 60 years operating life. Estimated price tag $5 billion.
20
So now what is Chrissy Bowen’s excuse for no SMRs for power generation?
These could be mounted on barges tethered to offshore wind turbines so they would be classified as marine vessels! Just like in Russia
https://www.power-technology.com/news/floating-nuclear-power-plant-in-russia-set-for-refuel/
01
Hmm! Just ballparking here.
Macarthur Wind. Nameplate 420MW. Lifetime Capacity Factor – 22%. So Actual Generation is 92MW.
So we would need 5 Macarthurs to equal one of these SMR’s.
Macarthur cost $1.2 Billion. (in 2012 Dollars)
So 5 Macarthurs at $1.2 each comes in at $6 Billion.
So, the SMR is, umm, cheaper than the equivalent industrial wind plants.
Then the SMR lasts three times longer, so that $6 Billion now becomes $18 Billion.
Umm, tell me again how cheap renewable power is.
Tony.
40
And then you need the extra cost of firming/backupâŚ
And of course the extra transmission lines required, because the wind farm has to be out in the sticks. And those transmission lines have to be built three times larger, because they have to cope with the full nameplate output, not the average output.
Plus the additional costs of removing the old wind farm, which is believed to be around two thirds of the original installation cost. And repeat this at least once.
10
$5B is not too much for an SMR with that capacity and life. It is too much if it’s job is downgraded to filling the holes of intermittents. If that is it’s final task wind/solar should be taxed to cover some of the costs.

Chinese scientists create mutant Ebola virus to skirt around biosafety rules – and it causes horrific symptoms and kills group of hamsters
Chinese scientists have engineered a virus with parts of Ebola in a lab that killed a group of hamsters.
A team of researchers at Hebei Medical University used a contagious disease of livestock and added a protein found in Ebola, which allows the virus to infect cells and spread throughout the human body.
The group of hamsters that received the lethal injection ‘developed severe systemic diseases similar to those observed in human Ebola patients,’ including multi-organ failure,’ the study shared.
One particularly horrific symptom saw the infected hamsters develop secretions in their eyes, which impaired their vision and scabbed over the surface of the eyeballs
While the experiment may spark fears of another lab leak, the researchers say their goal was to find the right animal models that can safely mimic Ebola symptoms in a lab setting.

Boeing showing itself to be as woke and useless as ever!
“Boeing got $4.2 billion to develop an astronaut capsule and SpaceX only got $2.6 billion, Seven years behind schedule and more than a billion-dollar cost overrun, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is finally atop an Atlas V rocket at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. If all goes according to plan, the launch will occur tonight at 2234 ET.”
Buuut….
“the planemaker has abandoned its plans for its first crewed launch of the Starliner spacecraft “out of an abundance of caution,” just two hours before planned takeoff.
Officials involved in the planned launch had said repeatedly that they wouldn’t hesitate to postpone the flight if any risks to safety emerged.
the administrator for NASA and a former astronaut himself, reiterated that point Monday evening, saying the agency’s first priority is safety.”
It will only take another few million from NASA to fix it. A classic example of Govt ineptitude at its finest. NASA should have cancelled the whole United Launch Alliance deal once Musk had SpaceX taking astronauts up.

” French Foreign Legion deployed to Ukraine near the front in the Donbas. The initial group of French troops numbers around 100. This is just the first tranche of around 1,500 French Foreign Legion soldiers scheduled to arrive in Ukraine. These troops are being posted directly in a hot combat area and are intended to help the Ukrainians resist Russian advances in Donbas. The first 100 are artillery and surveillance specialists.
As France is acting on its own without NATO’s backing, the French cannot claim support from NATO under its famous Article 5, the collective security component of the NATO Treaty. Should the Russians attack French troops outside of Ukraine it would be justified because France has decided to be a combatant, and forcing an Article 5 vote would seem to be difficult if not impossible. ”
Russia will concentrate on killing French soldiers, just as they warned. France’s version of Viet Nam is just starting..
