That is a slur on Neanderthals, but I admit the likeness is uncanny. Is it real?

Not sure you can 'take out' that which doesn't exist. Nothing above the lizard brain (brainstem) in old Trumpy.

So the Sof, is trying to get off. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/apr/01/walter-sofronoff-may-have-his-legal-challenge-to-finding-of- serious-corrupt-conduct-thrown-out It doesn't matter if he does because his flagrant corruption has already been exposed to the public gaze. We...

Trashing the country seems to be Trumpies modus operandi. Thom Hartman discusses this and what would it look like if someone was under the influence of Mr Putin and was intent of destroying the USA. https://factkeepers.com/what-would-a-putin-designed-plan-to-collapse-america-look-like/

I'm a little sceptical. Allegedly no bus accidents resulting in significant injuries were reported. School bus accident at 110kms would surely be featured heavily in the press.

A better haircut and this kid could go all right. Where is he liable to go in the draft? What secrets does the Dursma family have to keep producing quality footballers?

You are more confident than I am that there will be a free and fair 2028 election.

Yes, you would expect significant pushback as folks loose services and the economy tanks. Will it be enough? Is it too late? His biggest weakness if he wants to push into dictator territory is the military hate him. I expect there already have been discussions about what to do if he clearly...

Claude Malhuret, a French Senator began his speech to the French Senate with this: 'Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, Ladies and Gentlemen, Ministers, my dear colleagues. Europe is at a critical turning point in its history. The American shield is crumbling, Ukraine risks being abandoned...

I can't decide if we are seeing the death throes of a republic that has grown corrupt and venal or the US is going through the mad Emperor thing. Either case would probably look like Trumpism. It's no surprise either Trumpism becoming a form of fascism, Project 2525 told us that. Rome did...

It's hard to believe that people can be so awful, stupid and cruel. Sadism is a feature that tends to arise in bureaucracies but in Trumps it's a positive, not something to be discouraged. A feature not a bug.

How to kill US soft power. Bizarre to me. Why did the Maggots want USAID destroyed? I did a few jobs for AusAID back in the day, and I can tell you it's money well spent to help our neighbours and increase our influence. Pittance compared to military spending but arguably more effective use of...

It's about systems more than platforms. Western air forces put a huge amount of work in to suppression of enemy air defences (SEADS). These are complex mission coordinating elements from all domains. The Russians don't really do it and we have seen they have been unable to establish dominance in...

I was pleased to see not all of 'big law' have gone belly up: https://newrepublic.com/post/193317/donald-trump-double-lawsuits-executive-order The legal arena is the next big stoush, from private law firms to the judiciary. I think we'll get a better idea how far Trumpy is prepared go and where...

No, nothing sinister about that. Nothing sinister about hooded men taking people off the street. Nothing sinister about exploiting prisoners for propaganda. Nothing sinister about saying you're going the take over another country one way or another. Nothing sinister about threatening judges...

Werewolf, the F16 are much better than the Russian aircraft and you can find some accounts of that https://www.businessinsider.com/ukrainian-f16-pilot-russian-moves-fear-nato-jets-mirage-2025-3 It's not so much the physical platform and it's kinetics, it's the systems from radar to missiles and...

Sam's press conference. For once the AFL have the reporters miked up so you can actually hear them...... https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/video/1740736/sam-mitchell-press-conference?videoId=1740736&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1743033631001 ...except for the dog which does it's best to drown...

Funny you should say that because a form of techno-feudalism in a corporate dystopia is a common trope in Scifi, even some serious scholars have proposed possible futures like that. I started to consider if the US is edging toward it. Looking at some of the comments about AOC is pretty alarming...

Compassion is woke. Respect is woke. Kindness is woke. In fact, just about all the new Testament stuff is woke.

Have you used it? I gave up Kindle Unlimited because of Bezos actions so I'm looking for alternatives and I thought I might try Kobo plus as they have a months trial.

The Github copilot offers a whole swag of LLM including Claude and Chat GPT4. For coding Claude seemed a bit chattier but could produce slightly less code, although all of them peg out as they near 500 lines. I'd be interested to know how you go with OpenWebUI and LiteLLM. What do you plan to...

It is a rubbish conversation. Stupid. Have we not been scatting on thin ice up forward? What if Chol is injured? Meek already looks knackered and we are only 3 games into the year. Chol, Dear and Lewis will be in the premier forward line. Dear's back problem may in part be due to the heavy work...

I think it's a rubbish conversation and I for one will enjoy watching you wash the egg off your face. Pictures please, video even better. Added - most of the time you will only have 2 up forward. Consider these hypothetical figures for the three players for TOG. 85% is around average so I have...

I've found copilot(the github one) pretty good for coding, being a mug coder myself. Copilot for general knowledge I've found OK but better for constrained topics like PC fixes/maintenance etc. I've found the video generating ai's like pixverse absolutely brilliant, I suspect I'm suffering AI...

Creating his army of Brownshirts.

There was nothing intelligent about Clippy, artificial or otherwise. It remains, appropriately, a prime example of a silly idea. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it.

That's brilliant. it would be perfect if they had synthesized Tom Jones voice.

And despite his gross incompetence and death toll the American citizens voted him in again. How f*cked is that? I've given up on Americans, I think they are totally lost and I'm pretty certain something dreadful is going to happen. I read the posts from the Maggots and there is little connection...

More antiaircraft drones. LOAD is a small drone designed by Airbus to tackle drones in the Shahed class, which the Euros may have to defeat in large numbers should Mr Putin continue to be frisky. I think this design pattern will be a winner because it addresses a real problem facing western...

The trope of a military coup against a corrupt and undemocratic civilian administration is very common in sci-fi, particularly military sci-fi and most of the authors are yanks. I thought it was a pretty unlikely scenario and never really went for it. However it's not inconceivable if Trump...
