Got problems with my computer today and it’s a complex fix
The world is getting far more complicated and soon the only beings able to fix complex problems will be technicians and ai.
Which beggars the question if you could just type in the problem and some sort of ai was let loose to roam your operating system, would you let it. They do not always do what is expected

Great question Tony. Maybe an alternative that might develop is that computer owners get access to digital modules of code or such that can replace the errant section of software in the computer. Perhaps that already occurs?? I’m not comfortable with a machine running possibly amok in my computer, doing god knows what and which I fear I can’t control.
Somehow giving an unknown computer repairman access, who I’m paying, seems more acceptable to me.

Capital G for God. Proper noun 🙂

Ok. I understand. Sorry.

The solution might be open source software and operating systems. I don’t think these days commercial programmers have much concern for generating bug-free code, they let the consumer be their beta testers. And often I get the impression they don’t even use the Apps they write. If they did they might be better written and have better interfaces.
100
Open source has never worked precisely because no one cares and no one is responsible. All systems have bugs. Human beings are designed by natural selection and the capacity is amazing and the design flaws are endless.
70
And it is impossible to write bug free software, precisely because users are irrational, unpredictable, destructive. And warning signs do not work either. You end up with insanity like a bag of nuts with the warning, beware, may contain nuts. There is always someone who does not read the warning.
50
Having written a lot of software, when it is in the hands of a new user, you would not believe the things they do which are unexpected. And of course in testing, you cannot help knowing how everything works so you do not intentionally stand on the accelerator and brake simultaneously while opening the door. Nor do you test for such users.
There is no such thing as bug free. It just means you think a lot of the bugs have been found and fixed over time. Which is why I get the last of new technology, not the first. Failure is certain, especially in the hands of people who have no idea how anything works. These I would call users.
120
There is also the fact that as decisions are made, paths are followed which sometimes have no exit. You may have created a combination of problems which no one ever envisaged and the only way out is to go backwards, which can be impossible. This is why rebooting is necessary. Or a holiday.
We in Australia may need to restart the Federal goverment after the ludicrous operation of the Albo Akhbar, Pong and Chalmers disaster. Shut all the Carbon Craziness, from Snowy II to all the subsidies. Wipe out the laws. Start again and never pass laws based on fake science. Get proof first, not opinion. And the UN and EU are not scientific organizations.

Was Amazon’s Tokenmaxxing Fiasco Behind Claude’s $500M Mystery Bill?
Axios reported this week that an unnamed Anthropic enterprise client managed to run up roughly $500 million in Claude charges in a single month after failing to put usage limits on employee licenses.
The company was not named, but we suspect Blue Origin might not be the only thing that blew up for Jeff Bezos this month.
After employees reportedly began “tokenmaxxing” – routing unnecessary work through AI tools to inflate their usage scores. The result was a perfect case study in what happens when corporate America turns AI adoption into a metric, then acts surprised when employees optimize for the metric instead of the work.
Whether or not Amazon was the mystery Claude whale, its internal AI experiment shows exactly how a runaway enterprise AI bill can happen.
The $500M Claude Mystery
The Axios item was brief, but extraordinary:;
An AI consultant tells Axios one of their clients recently spent half a billion dollars in a single month after failing to put usage limits on Claude licenses for employees.
So, oops to every CFO who recently approved “AI adoption” as a corporate priority.
In the old software world, when true nerds roamed the land, a bad rollout usually meant paying for licenses employees barely touched.
The waste was real, but at least it was mostly static.
In the new agentic AI world, a bad rollout – or simply adopting AI for everything – can quickly become devastating:
thousands of employees – or autonomous agents operating on their behalf – prompting, testing, summarizing, refactoring, retrying, and spinning up new tasks on usage-based pricing.
That is the heart of the current enterprise AI hangover. Companies spent the past year foisting AI on employees, often without a clean way to separate productivity from dashboard-friendly activity. And now the hangover is here.
Microsoft has reportedly started canceling most Claude Code licenses and steering developers toward GitHub Copilot CLI. Uber reportedly burned through its entire 2026 AI coding-tools budget by April, with COO Andrew Macdonald saying it was “very hard to draw a line” between rising Claude Code usage and useful consumer-facing output. Meta killed an employee-created “Claudeonomics” dashboard after workers competed to rank among the company’s top AI token users.

I used to drive my systems backend software developer nuts when I “tested” his software by doing unexpected things. When he grizzled, I explained that eventually a user of the system would do those things, such as unexpectedly leaning on the keyboard, removing a serial link, etc. He became quite proficient at making the system human-proof.
20
The problem is actually using smart people to do the final testing. It is a great idea but you can believe you have finished testing. Ha! Such software falls over almost immediately in extraordinary ways. You need real users.
I was never amazed that inventions failed. But the manner in which they failed was always amazing.

TdeF,
Used small computers since 1970.
Over many years I have gained preferred fixes to several problems.
But, time marches on and a good fix in 1980 is often a bad fix in 2026.
I work alone with nobody to tell me there is a better fix.
My big problem is I have remembered too much old baggage. It is trouble.
Anyone else have this impediment?

“Open source has never worked”
Has anyone told Linus Torvalds yet?
All those mobile phones and data centres are obviously running on hopes and dreams then…
60
What happens there is that a group takes the open source and owns it. Then it’s no longer open source.
“Because modern iterations have evolved and branched out, UNIX ownership is often broken down by how these operating systems are utilized today”
The zero starting cost makes it a good starting point, especially the many UNIX derivatives. Every system needs ownership or caveat emptor works in reverse. No one is reponsible.
UNIX became MINUX became LINUX.
Android and Apple iOS are 99% of all mobile phones.
Data centres use a lot of different systems. They rent space, power and bandwidth and massive storage with database engines but in many cases have relatively few public customers in their hosting only capacity. The renters have the retail customers with problems.
60
Unix didn’t become Linux. Linux was a separate development made to be source code compatible.

Your computer problems are probably Trump’s fault, too.

I think launching a full scale war without consulting allies or thinking through the consequences or being aware of the nature of the well armed nation it was fighting was likely more the presidents failings than fiddling with my computer. This was an ill thought through war with major lasting consequences for the world economic will have emboldened other dictatorships also.

Recent drone strikes on Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia semi to have been Ukraine drones which went off course.
Drone which struck Romania apartments said to be a Russian drone, either off course or deliberate. No one is sure.
Computer problem? Possibly due to anti drone jamming.
141
I assume the Russians were attacking the ships in Izmail, bringing in arms and ammunition on one side of the river, and Romania is the other side. I remember watching videos of truck drivers in Romania filming attacks across the river last year.
One of the problems of jamming drones,the other one being failed interceptor missiles.
50
NATO agrees with you, UAV jamming is behind it.
42
At this point, Ukraine has so many Gerans and parts of Gerans retrieved that a deliberate false flag is almost inevitable.
More likely is GPS/GLONASS spoofing to draw Russian drones over the border.

Russian President Vladimir Putin Responds to Report of Russian Drone Hitting Romanian Residential Complex
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good evening.
You had to wait. President Lukashenko and I had a lengthy discussion as we had many issues to discuss.
I am listening. Please, begin.
Anton Morozov: Mr President, here is my question. We understand that you have had a busy visit dedicated to the extensive EAEU agenda. However, news is breaking every minute, and you are probably aware of the story about a drone that flew into Romania.
Vladimir Putin: That is what I have just been told.
Anton Morozov: My question is this: why didn’t the Europeans, who are hyping the rhetoric around this story, shoot down that drone?
Vladimir Putin: You know, this may seem strange, but I only learned about this just before entering the hall. I was informed that something had happened, supposedly involving one of our drones. If you would be so kind as to explain it again, I would be grateful – I am not joking, or being ironic – and I will comment based on what I know.
Vladimir Putin: Who in Romania is saying it was a Russian drone?
Pavel Zarubin: Many people in Europe are saying so.
Vladimir Putin: “Many people” are nobody. Give me specific names.
Remark: Ursula von der Leyen.
Vladimir Putin: “Ms von der Leyen has not been to Romania. She has not examined the remains of that drone. No one can determine the origin of a particular aircraft until a proper examination has been conducted.
After all, we know that Ukrainian drones have previously flown into Finland, Poland, and the Baltic states. The initial reaction was exactly the same as it is now in Romania: “Help! The Russians are coming, the Russians are attacking.” Then, after a short period of time, it turned out that those incidents had nothing to do with Russian UAVs. They were drones of Ukrainian origin that had gone off course, been affected by electronic warfare, or, due to technical limitations, had ended up there and crashed. I believe that most likely we are dealing with the same situation as well.
However, if they provide us with objective data – as we once did with representatives of the US administration by handing over information and drone fragments from an attempted strike on one of the residences of the President of the Russian Federation to be examined – then let them provide those materials to us. We will conduct an objective investigation, and only then will we be in a position to assess what has actually happened.”

Cash is freedom. The western world continues down the rocky road to the state knowing everything
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/when-they-abolish-cash-they-abolish-freedom/
220
Big Brother definitely doesn’t like cash with ever more ways to track and trace every transaction. In Orwellian Australia there’s even been a proposal to put an expiry date on banknotes to discourage hoarding of cash.
And in Australia, you can’t even buy or sell gold without providing multiple forms of ID.
https://www.perthmint.com/visit/buy-sell-gold/account-and-id-requirements/
190
This move is clearly an INVASION of our privacy.
Like every bloody thing else they are trying to do.
Tax IS theft, as AnAl and the supposed Doctor are proving at the moment.
And, their pants are going to catch fire.
191
Amazing. One of the reasons people buy gold is insurance, having cash when the world collapses around you and governments destroy currencies, as in Germany and Argentina. Now your government wants to know exactly who owns gold. And when they blow up the government finances, they will come for it. Along with any other treasures.
During WWII every government tried to get rid of their gold reserves as Hitler’s NAZI criminals crashed through borders and went strait for the gold. Some succeeded. Many did not. Hitler needed the gold as he was not only a violent lifetime thief and crook, he was flat broke and could not afford his war machine. The building of the military was a Ponzi scheme, with the workers promised annual holidays and a free car if they worked furiously for very little. It wasn’t about Libensraum, it was greed and need and theft and violence, all disguised as policy. As today. They even stole the gold fillings.
Having a list of all the gold owners and for that matter a list of all the Jews would be perfect. Information is the new gold. Nothing to do with human rights. Quite the opposite.
131
“And in Australia, you can’t even buy or sell gold without providing multiple forms of ID.”
That is true for Perth Mint, but that’s not what gold and silver are for. No-one knows how much gets passed down as a dowry or an inheritance, how much you buy or sell privately, or sell to the guys in mall kiosks who buy old jewellery. When it becomes really important, you local businesses will trade gold with no questions asked.
” criminals crashed through borders and went strait for the gold”
Same with the Yanks- raided Iraq’s gold, stole Libya’s gold, robbed Afghanistan of theirs, its the first thing they steal when they invade. They weren’t too keen on giving Germany back the gold they stored for them either.
41
“Modern individuals, by contrast, shift through an environment saturated with systems of exhaustive registration, authentication, and observation. Every payment, journey, login and digital interaction contributes to an expanding informational portrait of daily life. They are being profiled down to the smallest detail.”
…and that’s why the Govt is building giant data centers. There will be a version of SimCity in there, perhaps a reverse-Matrix, where each one of us attends their daily routine as a piece of data, traveling here and there, buying this and that, interacting with him and her, all mapped out and recorded inside a computer as a parallel universe to what we did today.
AI will just make it worse, ‘Oh, THIS piece of data shouldn’t have interacted with THAT piece of data, I’ll have to stop that from happening next time, maybe their car will ‘break down’ on the way, or they will get delayed by a random breath test.’
How much wealth are we willing to waste on this computer game?

How do you deal with a public that just shrugs their shoulders and mutter that if you’re not doing anything wrong you won’t care what the government does

Their ABC Australia told a huge propaganda lie about Liddell Power Station, just destroyed as part of Australia’s very own Nerobefehl, modelled after the National Socialists to destroy all infrastructure.
It is not uncommon at all for a proper coal, gas, nuclear or hydro power station to reach 50 years of service and unprecedented for any wind, solar or Big Battery installation.
The propaganda is relentless.
In Australia coal plant life statistics are not relevant because they are destroyed before their economic life is complete but in the US the average age of operating coal plant is 45 years, not the retirement age. And as the US has pro-energy policies and also massive demand for electricity due to AI and reindustrialisation under TRUMP, no doubt there’ll be life extension programmes.
In the US a nuclear plant has been recertified for 80 years operating life.
230
The only reason the lights are staying on at all in Australia is that taxpayer money is paid to large consumers like aluminium smelters to allow them to be load-shed when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.
But they’ll be probably closed soon too as Australia’s energy infrastructure is further destroyed and in any case you absolutely cannot run an aluminium smelter on wind, solar and Unicorn flatulence. Apart from that, there is the general issue of the extreme difficulty of running any type of business in Australia due to high taxes, excessive regulations, feral unions, high land prices, “global warming” imposts, etc. etc..
240
I am told that AGL management staff watched the demolition of the Liddel power station on TV and many of them were cheering and clapping when the chimneys came down!
Dear God, they are all woke lefties. How does that company survive?
160
No point getting your nose out of joint. They have profitable and career enhancing (they think) plans for the site so it natural they cheer a milestone in its redevelopment. They dont care about the bigger NSW and OZ picture beyond how much they can harvest from it.

Hazelwood in Victoria was shut and utterly destroyed despite operation at 98% of design output in its last month. Generally power stations do not age because unlike solar and wind, they are fixable endlessly. And ultimately relatively simple despite their huge size. There is no way to extend the life of solar panels or windmills. They are all short term replaceables. Nor is there any way to justify the massively expensive unique transmission lines which become instantly worthless on the same day the windfarm dies.
We in Melbourne are still suffering the awful sight of wooden telephone poles from the 19th century which were repurposed as electricity poles and now as NBN poles. They don’t exist in most countries. And somone owns the lines and poles, so we are stuck with them forever and their maintance and the $100Million a year just in tree trimming to deal with the consequent fire risk. Not exactly the clever country.
190
The tree trimming itself is a legal rort. The bushfire risk is in the bush and grasslands. But most of the tree trimming is in Melbourne of plane and elm trees and even palms despite the historic lack of inner city bushfires.
70
? Seriously, they probably want to avoid outages in major customer areas also
20
They are employed explicitly under the Electricity Safety (Electric Line Clearance) Regulations 2010 after the investigation into a disastrous major bushfire in Victoria. This lethal major fire was explained by a single fallen line alone a country highway.
And the act was not about bushfires in suburban Melbourne which are unknown, except in the extreme East in the Dandenong ranges. But almost all the $100Million of tree trimming takes place in suburban Melbourne on trees which are deciduous anyway. It’s all quite absurd unless you are tree trimming contract in which case it’s all quite delightful.
The annual $100Million would be far better spent putting the country cables underground quickly. But that would stop the money.
In the City, like Perth, all cables should be underground. The waste is typical of Climate Change spending as well. Pointless and superficial at vast public expense to acheive nothing.
70
And like Climate Change, no one measures any form of Cost/benefit. It’s all cost, no benefit. Like Snowy II which will possibly never be finished and when it is, will never be used. $40Billion+. And longer so far to half build than the English Channel tunnel.

It’s very easy to lose weight in a healthy and natural way.
Eat more meat and animal fats and minimise carbs. Preferably ony two meals per day and no snacking.
170
Rubbish! 😆
You’ve obviously never had to lose serious weight.
If it was “very easy” there wouldn’t be an article on the latest fad diet in every issue of women’s magazines, and the revolving door gym memberships wouldn’t exist.
It’s EASY to gain weight, but hard and time consuming to lose it.
Genetics, lifestyle, metabolic rate, diet,metabolic slowdown in 4 weeks and fat loss stops, and most importantly (and the greatest point of failure) mental attitude and strength. ie willpower. Even then you need to ensure you are losing fat both visceral and subcutaneous, not just “weight” (muscle and water).
*I* HAVE been in that position and made a massive transformation, albeit over a few years.
Unrelenting discipline was the reason.
BP 90/60, RHR 45 and 9% body fat when I was 47. My doctor couldn’t believe it! “Oh that can’t be right, the equipment must be faulty!” she said. 😆

Why would they sell them, that only spreads the technology so people can copy them. You don’t see the Yanks selling F22s…
31
I was going on the recent attempt.
‘Following Russia’s overnight strike on Bila Tserkva, Defense Express suggested that the Russian military may have attempted to hit Kyiv with an “Oreshnik” intermediate-range ballistic missile but missed by approximately 80 kilometers. At the same time, analysts emphasize that there is currently no confirmation of this version, UNN reports.’
The alternative view is that they were aiming for a nearby airport near Bila Tserkva. The propaganda is sophisticated.
Either way its old and expensive technology, quite useless after Putin is swept from history.

“If you are going to mold a corruption allegation against a particular critic of ‘man-caused global warming’ into one of the central arguments for suing fossil fuel companies out of existence – ‘FOIA-released documents led to the revelation of this industry-paid corruption’ – wouldn’t it be advisable for you to be absolutely certain that the narratives about this ‘FOIA revelation’ line up right, and that there isn’t some other related angle that could land one of your associates in Federal prison over what appears to be his own potentially corrupt behavior? Whereupon – perhaps in exchange to reduce his prison sentence – he might offer prosecutors details on how the corruption allegation (which you have every appearance of concocting out of thin air) may end up imperiling the entire ‘climate crisis’ issue while also landing you in jail or facing monumental civil action penalties?
Regarding the combination of a potential 18 U.S.C. 1512 “Tampering With Witnesses” violation (including those at U.S. Senate hearings) and potential epic-level libel/slander, I’ll suggest the enviro-activists promulgating the “crooked skeptic climate scientists” accusation handed their heads on a silver platter to prosecutors.

The procedure took place on January 29, 2024, at a funeral establishment in London, after MacLean drove Dillon to the site.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) found that MacLean crossed professional boundaries by conducting the assessment in an informal public setting and personally transporting the patient, actions deemed potentially coercive given Dillon’s vulnerabilities. Despite complaints that he failed to offer adequate mental health support and that Dillon’s wish for death was driven by untreated illness rather than terminal physical suffering, MacLean received only a verbal caution and agreed to six months of clinical supervision.
MacLean remains licensed to practice and provide MAiD. The CPSO investigation also reviewed a separate case involving a cancer patient where MacLean failed to administer a paralytic drug, leading to the patient briefly resuming spontaneous breathing after being pronounced dead. An independent reviewer noted MacLean did not meet professional standards in five out of twenty charts examined, citing a lack of judgment and potential risk to patient safety.

“Yesterday, the New York Times quietly reported, “Suit Says Black Infants Were Subjected to Experimental Vaccine Without Consent.” The details of this horrifying story will not surprise anyone who’s been paying attention for the last five years.”
Concludes
“If there is a lesson here for CDC, FDA, and NIH —and I hope our allies there are reading this— it isn’t another round of “implicit bias” training. It is that all the ugly residue of utilitarian thinking must be permanently purged from ‘public health.’
There must be no more sacrificing the few uninformed patients for the hypothetical benefits to an abstract “herd” or “population,” no more treating informed consent and individual rights as inconvenient obstacles to be managed instead of hard limits binding even the noblest intentions.
As they say, the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions, anomalies, and disclaimed Democrat autopsy reports. Let’s take the next exit.”

A newly published paper supports the notion that solar forcing is a major player..

Blocking high pressure and its connection to solar activity.
‘ … between the 1950s to the late 1960s we have also seen a rapid strengthening of AMOC, which has been linked with persistently high pressure in the atmosphere over Greenland. Lapointe and Bradley think the same atmospheric situation occurred just prior to the Little Ice Age—but what could have set off that persistent high-pressure event in the 1380s?
‘The answer, Lapointe discovered, is to be found in trees. Once the researchers compared their findings to a new record of solar activity revealed by radiocarbon isotopes preserved in tree rings, they discovered that unusually high solar activity was recorded in the late 1300s. Such solar activity tends to lead to high atmospheric pressure over Greenland.’ (umass)

Here you can see the spike quite clearly.

Interesting. Zharkova has predicted this for a long time, and I believe that her GSM model is the only one that so far has proven most accurate.
Does this go against Rick’s predictions of a warmer NH?
20
Not necessarily, the years 1473 and 1540 were droughty and hot across Europe and beyond. This happened in the depth of the LIA with low solar activity.
01
The lia was intermittent but with cold spells more dominant.
The hot spells were therefore more noticeable and probably hotter than was normal.
1540 and the years around it were probably the warmest for many centuries with 1540 itself of legendary warmth. The Greenland suggestion is a good one
10
The wet summers and freezing winters in Europe were commonplace during the LIA, bringing mass hunger, but there were also bountiful years.
Volcanic eruptions started the ball rolling, then the solar minimums kicked in, yet all the while the oceanic oscillations were doing a dance and modulating the impact.
01
The UAH TLT is down 0.6C since the 2024 peak and now close to trend. The trend is driven by precession and it is on long run to much warmer summers in the NH until the land ices over.
A 1C change in global mean temperature is not much above noise. When it is 10C cooler than present, the people in the NH will be looking south for new abode.
When interglacials terminate, they are preceded by an increase in temperature. That is what is happening now. It is a long upward trend that shows up on millennia scale before the snow cover starts impacting.
My forecast for SC26 in mid 2030s to be at least as high as SC25.
Solar forcing for 2027 is similar to 2023 so I am expecting another jump up above trend next year. 2031 has substantially lower spring early summer heating in the NH than 2023. So 2031 could be below trend but the upward trend is dialed in for another thousand years or more. Temperature has been trending up for about 400 years. Every century of the central England temperature record has been up since it commenced in 1659. Now almost 400 years. There has been noise on the trend but it remains upward.
30
‘When interglacials terminate, they are preceded by an increase in temperature.’
That is worthwhile information, do you have a link?
01
Blocking a sign of global cooling.
‘Combined with terrestrial and marine records in the North Atlantic realm, we show that in the early LIA (1470-1610 C.E.), a multi-decadal scale atmospheric blocking over northern Europe split the westerlies away from central and northern Europe, and towards the Arctic and the Mediterranean.’ (Shen et al 2022)
01
This was predicted ten years ago by Prof Carl Otto Weiss and his team. The 250 year De Vries cycle has just peaked. It is the major component for European temperatures. The minor is the 65 year AMO/PDO which has also peaked. But taxing the sun and the air has been the eternal dream of governments.¾
90
So there is no need for concern, global warming will continue unabated for a while yet.
13
If you look at the temperature data, the only thermometer data for 250 years, there is a huge dip at 1870. Otherwise the ‘peak’ we are experiencing is no greater than at 1750. This is normal veriation.
There is ZERO proof that warming is due to CO2. The only argument I have ever seen is one of association, not determination. And the CO2 graph and the real data given by Weiss are completely different. One has a big dip and the other one is an almost linear steady slow climb.
There is no proof of man made CO2 let alone a proof of CO2 driven warming. It is all just made up nonsense, supported by hundreds of thousands of ‘climate scientists’ most of them like Tim Flannery, completely and utterly unqualified to comment. Australian’s Climate Commissioner no less! So no one in the BOM or CSIRO qualified? Why? What had a PhD by essay on dead giant Australian wombats to do with meteorology?

“One Nation funds federal push with $6m war chest.”
Not a lot really, but politicians are cheap! Lets see how many traitors it can buy them..
42
Traitors, possibly, maybe, but the few that have crossed over so far had much more on their minds than the distraction of left faction influence, real as that has been and notably NSW and VIC State Executives until Federal Executive decided enough and stepped in and has taken the broom in for a clean up. And now Federa Executive Federal Liberal Party President just appointed is former Prime Minister Tony Abbott who was selected, also a candidate was like minded and positioned former Minister for Foreign Affairs Alexander Downer.
For example, Barnaby Joyce was two times National Party Leader and Deputy Prime Minister but after he was elected again as a National MP at the 2025 election he was not voted for to become Leader for a third time and was obviously not happy. Yet his Deputy PM history was in support of Turnbull Government decisions including Snowy 2.0 which is of course a Snowy Hydro Limited company project and governmemt part funded and other funding raised by Snowy Hydro Limited. Also proposed to follow later from Snowy 2.0 are more hydro power stations (not pumped return system) projects Snowy 3.0 and 4.0

Depends how you define ‘traitors’!
Traitors to the Party, or, Traitors to the nation?

So, there’s a ridiculous propaganda piece in the SMH from Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, telling us how petrol is dead and EVERYONE is buying electric cars now.
“The world market for electric vehicles is moving into the parabolic phase of the technology S-curve, the critical stage where disruption moves with lightning speed and the mathematical compound effect demolishes the old order. “Once you reach 5 per cent or 10 per cent, it takes off. The next stop is 30 per cent and suddenly you are on the way to 80 per cent,” ”
“The IEA said 70 per cent of battery EVs sold in China in 2025 were already cheaper than petrol and diesel cars on purchase cost alone, even before lifecycle savings on fuel…Sales of petrol and diesel cars crashed by 37 per cent from a year earlier,”
Then the science to reinforce his argument for the stupid. Here up 63%, over there up 67%, everywhere up 75%… but no actual numbers. So 70% up is easy when you only sold 300EVS in Brazil the year before. Then it just turns into his usual anti-Trump rant, and how bad oil is for the world.
Two photos, one of new EVs looking shiny in a row, and one of an oil-rig worker in his wet-weather gear, wrangling a drill line and covered in oil..
Still, the Teals have a lot of voters.. I swear the IQ curve is no longer a bell.

I haven’t bothered reading A-EP for some years now. I think he still writes in the increasingly woke UK Daily Telegraph, to which we subscribe. We keep the subscription up for writers like Allison Pearson and the cartoonists Matt and Blower and to see what our English family and friends are reading.

It appears that the media promotions mix Hybrid and pure EV as electric cars.
EV are not selling even close to hybrid sales number.
40
A very convenient grouping, as hybrids become the default setting.
20
For years I’ve been saying a hybrid is little more than an ICE with regenerative braking. But it’s done VERY well, at least from Toyota.
My 2010 Camry HV battery is still good but even at that age I would replace it rather than scrap the car.

Where are the whistle blowers among the UK’s patently politicised police forces? Several stories today all cover or refer to what is often called ‘two tier justice’ in the UK. This has been happening for some time and goes so far as to effectively facilitate the notorious ‘grooming gangs’ comprised of mostly Pakistani men raping and abusing mostly white young girls. We also see numerous examples of black and brown criminals being treated much less harshly than their white equivalents. Then there are the white conservatives arrested, charged and even jailed for nothing more than expressing concerns about all of this.
So it’s inevitable that people will think that the police force and courts are in fact operating as a leftist army. I certainly do. But if that’s the case, why aren’t there more whistle blowers coming forward to tell us it really is happening, and how? Has the Long March been so successful that there aren’t in fact very many conservatives among these groups? Or that the few that exist are so in fear of losing their jobs that they dare not speak up? If so, what about those recently retired?
Where are the heroes?
70
A few years ago I watched an SBS Australia broadcast of a UK documentary on child grooming by gangs, actors and actresses playing roles of course, but it made me angry that the British Government and Police would effectively ignore the situation because of the race based politics. Sacrificial lambs?
And the estimated number of school age victims was thousands, and so submissive based on fear of physical abuse and including family members being attacked.
I was reminded of what was a gang in Western Sydney called The Bankstown Boys, they were finally caught and charged, some placed in gaol for long sentences and even held in the NSW State maximum security Goulburn Gaol. They kidnapped young women often in daylight and drove them to parks and even industrial estates after hours and phoned for other gang members to come to the event. One young woman in winter was left in an industrial estate naked after being hosed down with a fire hose and she staggered to a main road (Hume Highway) and a motorist stopped as she signalled for help, the business man gave her his suit coat to wear and drove her to Bankstown Police Station. Many victims told police they would not testify in court because they were in fear of their lives and family members. Gang members warned their victims not to report and reminded them “we have your home address” – meaning stolen from handbag.
The Australian stories are many more than the one I am describing here.
By the way, The Bankstown Boys also fired shots into police station windows, burnt police cars and stole police radios from vehicles.

“there aren’t in fact very many conservatives among these groups?”
I think you’d have trouble finding any Conservative in the civil service, why would they subject themselves to a life of torture like that?

It is hard for this citizen to not think we are the midst of some strange obscure revolution organized and carried out in the shadows by an obscure extra-national elite.
Mass migration looks to have be been an organized, managed facilitated operation carried out by some hive mind, across the soon to be formerly Free World.
Seriously, there appears to be an obvious ‘They’.

The company said the order, which is valued at €71.4 million (or about $A125 million), will be fulfilled in Singapore, where EOS has a laser innovation centre.
“EOS is already an established global leader in counter-drone capability using kinetic weapons and missiles to bring down drones. The high-power laser builds on these core competencies and substantially extends them.”
The system – which is mobile and can work on a truck – operates “at the speed of light” and can shoot down as many as twenty drones in a minute, Dr Andreas Schwer, Chief Executive Officer of Electro Optic Systems told news.com.au.
“The laser can hit a target almost instantly … unlike a bullet which takes a second to get there,” Dr Schwer said.

Drones in war… More on the Galati strike in Romania, and Ukrainian hexacopters dropping land mines on roads in Kherson and Crimea. They are like a slightly larger shotgun shell and explode under a steel vehicle or when driven on. They kill people in un-armoured vehicles. Its a good thing the UN banned landmines…
Also videos of Ukie drones blowing up trucks on the roads, then all the cars stop in a queue, ideal for the followup drones to get everyone. These are all civilians, not military vehicles.
War is changing..

‘Occupational governor of Kherson region Volodymyr Saldo said that on the morning of May 29 a drone dropped mines onto the carriageway and shoulder on a section of the route “Novorossiya” (on the border of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions).’

So, who REALLY holds the Trump cards?
“And until the war in Iran truly ends, and the Strait returns to normal transit, global inventories will continue to drain by about 10-14 million per day. Which is why when the operational floor is reached in less than three months, the resulting parabolic move in oil will be just as memorable as when it plunged deep into negative territory in April 2020 when traders were paying others any amount asked, to take physical oil off their hands. It will be just like that… only in reverse.
“It will take at least four months to get back to 80% of pre-conflict flows, and full flows will not return before the first or even second quarter of 2027,” Adnoc chief executive Sultan al-Jaber said
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth warned oil prices are likely to rise over the next two months as already near record low crude inventories continue to decline due to the Iran war. “The buffers and the shock absorbers are being steadily drawn down, and the ability for the market to absorb this imbalance is drastically diminished today versus where we started,”
Goldman to follow up a few weeks later by observing that in May, global oil inventories plunged by a record 8.7 million barrels per day, with Hormuz still largely blocked.”
..and yet Trump talking can lower oil prices when they should be rocketing up! Iran is in no hurry, they can see the inevitable when strategic supplies run dry, its Trump that has to get the Straits open before the shit hits the fan.

..and this is REAL fascism. You start a business, invest your money, work hard, the Govt taxes you..and then tells you it will tell you who to make products for, and you will make their products over contracts you already have. So in theory you own the business, but the Govt tells you how to run it!
“The EU – which is badly lagging the rest of the world when it comes to AI development – is preparing sweeping emergency powers to intervene in Europe’s semiconductor supply chains during shortages, including by forcing chipmakers to override existing contracts..The draft law also enables common purchasing to boost the bloc’s negotiating power, and would mark a clear expansion of the EU’s powers to intervene directly in industrial supply chains.
Brussels could also enable common purchasing to “strengthen negotiating power and prevent competition between EU countries for limited supplies”. The Commission would then act as a central buyer for multiple EU countries, as it did to acquire vaccines during the pandemic.”
Of course Govt has a magnificent track record of picking winners and making great economic decisions..

Jo featured at the ‘People First Party’ WA Event
I had never heard Jo speak at an event or seen her on TV or any interview she has done over many years.
Probably like many, we are busy with the consistent impracticality of life, the effects of intentionally bad political policies. Yes, Jo took up this concept and many others that are inter-related to the environment with political/bureaucratic facets.
Her presentation was excellent and very well referenced. She also had full colour booklets to give to live attendees with which they could use for speaking with friends, family and contacts to make one’s points valid and convincing.
All in all, it was a great event with Jo preceding Gerard Rennick’s live-remote appearance and them both taking live questions from the live audience.
Apologies to the online audience who had a sub-optimal experience due to technical limitations with the AV equipment.
Though only a volunteer, I have completed a design of a workable and complete AV System for future Live/Online Events for PFP and we will get this budgeted and implemented.
We hope to see Jo back again as soon as we can so that we can make it up to her and the very patient audience/sponsors.
Apologies again and hope to see the Perth audience at the next one with PFP and Jo.
Thanks so much Jo for your professionalism, integrity and giving of your precious time to engage with us all.
