Chronicles of a stable genius - all the biggliest stuff

This article was amended on 28 October 2024 because an earlier version said that the Donald Trump rally was held in the exact same arena as the 1939 pro-Hitler German American Bund Nazi rally. Although the venues of the two rallies share the same name, the 1939 rally was in a different location. The current arena opened in 1968 and is the fourth to be named Madison Square Garden, replacing the third, which opened in 1925.

Someone should tell the boomers spreading this lore that it costs a minimum 15 billion euros for a country with a 50+ year experience in nuclear to build a nuclear plant.

It should be as simple as the country's lead scientific agency does an investigation, publishes a report and then the government goes with it.

Of course its not that simple because Mr potato head, just like Trump, called into question the agency's work and politicised it when they said it wasn't a goer.

Way to undermine faith in our public institutions former policeman with a $400 million property portfolio. (Google that.) Notice he stayed very quiet on Albo buying a $4.3 million house. Funny that.

Exactly how does a former policeman amass such a fortune. A question for another day.

Anyway. If they can build them cheap/competitive and on budget let's go for it. Good luck putting them anywhere though. No one wants a nuclear reactor next door to them and that's the facts.

All the evidence overseas points to them being horrendously over budget and over a decade late in every instance but let's give them a go. The beauty for the LNP is they're so far off in the future all of us will be in the ground before the first one is built.

Sounds like any government infrastructure project. We should have had a serious discussion about nuclear energy 40-60 years ago.

Yes. Completely agree.

But I doubt it would've gotten up then either. There were massive demonstrations about the Ranger uranium mine and nuclear power, mining uranium and anything associated with it. It was massive in the 80s.

So big Peter Garrett got elected to the senate for the nuclear disarmament party.

Probably should have had a crack about the time they approved the Snowy or shortly thereafter. (Nuclear reactors may not have been a thing then though.)

The Snowy River hydro scheme took a long time to build. At least a couple of decades. It started before there was nuclear power but was finished right in the middle of nuclear being a thing. Thing is, Uranium mining wasn't a thing yet. We had it, but nothing reliable until Olympic Dam opened. Now we've got a shitload of it just in time for being about 50 years late to getting a nuclear industry going.

Ranger was a big deal when I was a kid. It wasn't actually a long lived mine though. A lot of time and emotional energy pissing off greenies for not much uranium, considering you could also just chip it off the copper ore in SA. The mine closed years ago.

unrelated to the thread, but I just hired a Tesla for a couple of days for the first time and I have to say, for the money these things cost IT WAS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE...... dumb car, dumb features... technology just for the sake of technology... SO glad I dont own a plug in car and now I can understand why I probably never will...
 
Be interesting to see what happens if Trump loses. Obviously he's going to say it's a stolen election. Rumours they won't accept the Electoral College...anyway the meltdown will be delicious. More violence? Insurrection?
 
From the 6 minute mark. The bloke is fucking nuts. He is literally saying you can send your kid to school and they come back with a sex change. Not once, not twice but multiple times. He's shameless and the MAGA idiots lap it up.

That must be a damn progressive school.... Once the poor kid , check his/her gun at the front office and gets through the metal detectors do they then have to wait long in the pre-op and more importantly is it covered by medicaid or do they have to get a loan for the snip snip?

But the nutty thing is people either believe it or don't care. It's mental. In any other country in the world if a candidate said anything like this they'd be finished.

Sportsbet have Trump at $1.50 and Harris at $2.63.

Mate, Australia isnt immune to this sort of soft brain thinking, we have people on soccer forums passing on the orange one's wisdom as fact ... we're doomed. hahahahahahah
 
The government can change your child's sex and the weather! Sometimes both in a day! Vote Trump!

Yeah but Kamala laughs funny so there's that.......

Have a go at this doctor with a PHD in nutrition who debunks 'wellness' influencers talking about GOP tactics in the lead up to the election.

Yes and no.

This is the beginning of battery tech not the end. The day they bring out a solid state battery or some other type that can go a 1000ks, recharges in 10 minutes and it's a affordable it's all over for the ICE.

Computers were the size of houses once. Now they sit in your pocket. It's only a matter of time.

Imagine this. Drive your car to work, charge it off the panels at work for next to nothing, drive it home and run the house off the car during peak hours and then drive it back to work. (All for nothing or close to it.) A tesla car has the equivalent of 4 tesla house batteries in it. (My house generated 50kw yesterday and we used 4kw. I've only got a 12KW system. If only house batteries were cheaper, I'd buy one tomorrow.)

I can't wait to stick my middle finger up to all these these filthy, money hungry oil countries that have us over a barrel (no pun intended.). Their end can't come soon enough. It's weird that people actually don't want energy independence. (Not you.)

One big war over there and we are truly fucked. Australia has 2 weeks petrol reserve. That's 2 weeks. If you thought the run on supermarkets was bad when the lockdowns started imagine if petrol went to $4 / litre overnight and trucks couldn't deliver food as the reserves dwindled. Absolute chaos.

I heard once and it's still true today, if the US didn't speak English they'd be considered a 3rd world country.

I watch a bit of that lady debunking these wellness people. It's a real eye opener when she lays out why they're wrong with straight facts and science. And the science is complicated. (Who's science I hear Loopy ask). But anyway, the problem is she has a couple of hundred thousand followers and meanwhile you have chiropractors scaring the shit out of pregnant women saying vitamin K shots are dangerous and they have millions of followers.

Or crapping on about how formula for babies is terrible. Shaming these poor women and making them feel horribly guilty who, for some reason or another, can't breastfeed.

The world's gone fucking nuts.

If you're interested just watch a few. It really gives you an base understanding of how much terrific science is going on underneath all the scaremongering.
