    There is no denying that the #tRumpAdminstration is a pack of #Fascists and that #TechBros billiionaires are #Rich #Cookers. But they neither get on the battlefield nor win any wars. The Pentagon top brass may be contaminated by #numpties and #politicalAppointees but it is in no way compromised (there’s just too many good staff officers in there - most don’t fight at the sharp end). Add to those facts that the majority of the US MIlitary is made up of coloured Merikans including field officers relatively well trained — though not as well as Australian diggers are, I’d contest — and battle experienced, nothing I’ve said in my comment is dismissed.

    I am not an apologist for the US — never have been, least of all when serving in the ADF — but I recognise that the industrial base, materiel heft and manpower of the US mililtary and its allies combined will take more than China to take it on with but a hope to win any war. BTW, the US military is not as ‘outdated’ as you might think. Furthermore, the US military industrial complex can turn on a six pence whenever new war fighting technology is concerned - at least that has been the case since 1941 and nothing recent has changed about that.

    From what you say in your toots, you sound more anti-trump administration, anti billionaires and anti techbros than anti-US per se. I remain convinced that the US will survive that crazy bunch, even as it is changed by them.

    Another loog toot. I just can’t help myself. Apologies for that.

  5. CW: NZ - SovCit defends herself in court

    Riiria Tatana owned a fresh juice company in the Hawkes Bay, but she refused to register under the Food Act, claiming that MPI had no jurisdiction as she operated under "God's law."

    The court hasn't seen it that way.

    Tatana is defending herself (!) and on the stand, she accused the Judge of "treason", threatened to sue the Crown for "$134 trillion” and made this sweeping statement.

    “The Crown is null and void and has no jurisdiction over the people of Aotearoa.”

    Just another sad sovereign citizen wasting court time.

    The Judge has reserved her decision.

  7. CW: NZ - Sovereign citizens and guns

    The NZ Police manual has been updated. In future, officers who encounter sovereign citizens and learn they hold a firearms licence are to refer the individuals to the Firearms Safety Authority for review.

    Furthermore, "... where an officer suspects an individual represents a security threat, they should contact the National Security Group at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet."

    The days of treating cookers as harmless cranks are ending.

  9. CW: All Black captain comes out as a cooker

    How to blot your copybook and shit all over your reputation in one easy move.

    All Blacks traditionally tend to vote National. However former AB captain Taine Randell has been selected as the Tukituki (Hawke’s Bay) candidate for NZ First. The seat is currently held by National.

    Imagine deciding to run for parliament and concluding that Winston and Shane provided the best alignment to your values.

    Fuck that guy!

  11. March for Australia 3: A poisoned well
    You'd think Marching for #Australia would be very popular on the National Day of #Racism, 26 January. But it was not. Here, I have taken the time to consider why. --- the old video you can't see in Australia unless you pop a free VPN on first: youtube.com/watch?v=eq9Qlr9Q62

    Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.

    #Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.

    A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators

    I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
    (wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat.

  20. Story time. I don't think I've told this here before.

    I used to live near a collection of fast food restaurants. Close enough that the restaurants' patrons could detect the WiFi signal from our router.

    For S&Gs when I first set up the router, I set the WiFi SSID to 'Police Surveillance Drone'. I thought it was a bit of fun. It was only many years later that I discovered it had an unintended effect.

    The cookers, that used to frequent the restaurants, freaked out when they discovered a police surveillance drone always hovering overhead. They thought it was legit . Many stopped going there.

    Fun times.

  26. Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins, Grant Robertson and Ayesha Verrall have all declined to appear before the second section of the Covid enquiry.

    As this part of the "enquiry" is merely a performative piece designed to placate Winnie's cookers, that sounds like a fair call.
