Surcharge for badly behaved children at restaurant
50
Nonsense, so the parents claim.
The restaurant needs to post a video so we can know the truth. Have you ever seen children misbehave at a restaurant? Of course not! đ
40
They all sit up straight with their arms folded, the little angels.
The worst example I saw was in Verona whereby a young teen came in with his parents, glowered at everyone in the restaurant, swore at his parents and then proceeded to play on his electronic device whilst his mother spoon fed him so he wouldn’t miss a moment of play.
I dare say the electronic device is now making up some of the 5000 Eiffel towers of e-waste.
51
…and when the little…”darling” running around trips and hurts themselves and starts crying, everyone else has that Cheshire cat smile. đ

Australia seems to be latching on about the concerns of EV’s on ferries. We have the Channel Tunnel that falls into a similar category. Also Multi storey car parks and car parks under apartment blocks surely need some sort of protection?

I bought an apartment in the city and have voiced my concerns to building management re EV parking/charging beneath the building. The response I get is that they are following the fire safety guidelines. Does it take a fire to wake these people up?

This is an academic study
https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/PRR-12-2018-0034/full/html
It is related to the Palestinian riots all over the world. The paper predicts when Muslims will-if ever -become the majority in any one European country which presumably will fuel problems that occurs in other countries
Migration figures in any one year will influence demographic computer models and this one has not covered the high migrant numbers of last couple of years.
Within that general figure we know that in barely 50 years Muslims have become a majority in several UK cities which will have an impact on voting intentions and policies. Currently they are 5% of the UK general population. In France it is 10%
By age group, many major European cities including Vienna are already majority Muslim (under 16) So Islam is a growing influence and as has been observed they tend not to always follow Western values as regards women’s rights, liberal values, democratic freedoms, acceptance of other religions, gay rights, anti semitism and as such are likely to increasingly conflict with the currently majority population in European countries.
Our Muslim population is not largely Arabic based as it is in France so the path they follow will be different. However Islam is an assertive religion that has often clashed with Christianity and I would observe that it is becoming increasingly radical compared to when I visited my first Muslim country nearly 40 years ago.
I think recent migration to Australia has mostly been from South East Asian countries?
40
Is it just me?
I notice that the primary obstacle to progressive initiatives in most WesternâDemocraciesâ is their own constitutions.
What to do?
It appears the currently processing WHO Pandemic treaty is the workaround.
Yaâ gotta hand it to âem.
The average person will never know until they wake up one day and theyâve been forcibly confined in their home by some bureaucrats on the other side of the world.
Thatâs Global Democracy for âya.

Every year Mankind produces the equivalent of 5000 Eiffel towers of electronic waste (computers, cell phones etc)
50
“Eiffel towers” ? What happened to Olympic-sized swimming pools? Keeping up with these new metrics is not something I signed up for. See: smoots on Google Earth ruler.
110
The information comes from a new book written by a french man.
50
I’m not sure about this Eiffel tower unit?
Is it by height, weight, volume or what?
What can’t authors use conventional units of measurement?
Are the Sheeple so dumbed-down they can’t visual8se a proper measurement?
100
Iâve been living in Paris for the last 10+ years. I still canât visualise anything in units of âEiffel Towerâ except the Eiffel Tower.
Itâs big, about the length of 6.6 Olympic swimming pools, or exactly 1 Eiffel Tower.
SorryâŚ
120
Mentally upend the Eiffel tower and then pour all these electronic items into it.
If spread evenly over the ground the waste would probably cover an area the size of Wales….
60
yes of course, that was the first thing that sprang to mind. Upend the Eiffel Tower and pour things into it.
30
Why do we Australians always go for the multicultural approach? Keep to Sydharbours.
50
Which means nothing to most of us also
20
Oh, I don’t know.
We could have new relative scales for a lot of things.
“As thick as 10 climate activists” or “colder than a politician’s heart” for example.
80
The Eiffel Tower unit is meaningless just like when a new wind plantation is planted(?) some simpleton in Government like Bowen (Australian anti-energy minister) will pronounce something like “it will power 50,000” homes, which of course we know is a total lie.
90
Eiffel Tower height but over what basal area?

Freezing is the new boiling, doncha know?
Mountainwatch dot com’s webcam for Tasmania’s Mt Mawson shows, for this morning of Tuesday 31 October 2023, fresh overnight snow on the slopes and around the base shelter/huts, with a temp of -0.6C, the fifth (5th!) snowfall this month in Australia – can you feel the heat?
I’m aware many ‘mainlanders’ don’t classify Tassie as part of Australia – and who could blame them – but until the penguins take it over, it’s still part of the (once great) country. Snow is also forecast for the Victorian hills later on today.
Keep the home-fires burning y’all đĽ

I have a long tradition of turning off the power to the gas heater and now a six year history of removing wood and kindling from the wood box near the wood heater when we go into daylight saving in Melbourne. That has worked quite well over the years but this year I had to put the gas heater back on for a couple of evenings. We will be a tad cold this week but should avoid the need for heating.
The house is on a slab and we can control sunlight in so a few days of full sun will heat the slab enough for a few days without sun. Has not worked well so far this spring but maybe better in November.
Queensland is getting a good dose of sunlight right now and the lack of preparation in fuel reduction is evident with a few wild fires on the go burning all that precious wood that is no longer managed.
60
Home fire is burning, as on most mornings for the last several months.
30
Red thumbs ahoy.
I’d call it desperate if such a low incidence of flimsy examples of heat were presented as evidence or to make a point about anything.

To understand what is going on in Palestine at the moment, one must begin by recognizing that Hamas is actually on the Israeli payroll:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
And just like the US knew the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbour, but let it happen, Israel also knew October 7 was on the cards, but let it happen, to create Israels “Pearl Harbour”:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/surveillance-soldiers-warned-of-hamas-activity-on-gaza-border-for-months-before-oct-7/
But why? This was to create the pretext to remove all Palestinians from Israel in order to fulfil biblical prophecies. Simplicius The Thinker outlines Netanyahus religiously inspired plans to ethnically cleanse Israel:
https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/world-plummets-into-eschatological
The plan was to push the Palestinians into Egypt. Unfortunately for the Zionists, Egypt is having none of it:

Get woke, go broke #37.
GM abandons EV production, at least for the moment.
https://youtu.be/7FXZT5IP1_8
120
I wonder how the more fanatical governments like Australia’s will deal with more and more manufactures abandoning EVs?
First, I think they will ban ICE vehicles. You will have no choice.
Secondly, if no one will manufacture EVs they will just tell people to walk or take the bus in their 15 Minute City which is their longer term plan anyway.
Or the Government might decide to make a “people’s car” themselves, just like their National Socialist predecessors. Instead of a volks wagen it could be called something peculiarly Australian like the “Mate’s Car” or “Bowen’s Delight”.
90
They seem to successfully ignore failing wind and solar dominated grids around the world and continue to go all in. They have looked away from the mounting excess death toll post mRNA vaccinations. Ignoring the EV calamity and further subsidizing or even mandating them seems well within their capabilities
80
When everyone sees EV’s as the EWE’s (electric white elephants) they are, what happens next?
Giant fields of rusting exploding abandoned EV’s , because nobody wants them, even secondhand?
50
What about the parts of Oz where it would take more than 15 minutes to walk off the property?

It’s tragic that no one in a position of power in Europe is asking the question why most of the supposed “refugees” coming to Europe across open borders are single, military age, physically fit males with religious beliefs rewarding them for supposed martydom, and very few, if any, women, children or old people.
In fact, the invasion is actively being facilitated by those in power. And anyone who questions it is accused of being the usual “racist” or “isl-mophobe” for daring to ask the question and is therefore silenced.
160
None are seeking refuge in Muslim countries it seems.
And imagine the outrage if millions of young military age males invaded Muslim countries!
(as if they would be allowed to get away with it, their governments at least are not too timid to attempt to exert some sovereignty and control).
120
Everyone with a functioning brain sees it, and has since day 1, but it’s an orchestrated event to destabilise western societies.

Another one trotting out the excessive incarceration line without filling in the “because…” statement
It’s like she think the police just go rounding up people because they have so little to do. Nothing to do with behaviour and consequences.
100
And the ACT have decriminalised drug possession !
Anyone can carry up to 15 âhitsâ of ice, meth, coke, H, etc, and not be prosecuted.
âŚDrug dealers are GO !!
60
All drugs found are seized. The people caught have the choice of a fine or attending a health program and repeat seizures can lead to courts. Dealers go straight to court.
So why are drug dealers go?
Police time spent processing and transporting people possessing small qualities is available for other tasks, and massive amounts of court time and resources are used for other things.
17
Police have already decided not take sniffer dogs to festivals. All drugs found might still be seized but they are not going to be found.
It will increase use and decrease chances of getting the dealers.
It’s not like a speeding fine as the leftist propaganda media aka ABC put it. People aren’t taking a few extra grams of Vitamin C over the limit.
70
do you have a source for this information? It is actually NSW and was reported in the CT.
that’s a lot of invasive searches for nothing.
27
Why do I suspect that it was 25% for the former and close to 100% for the latter? People will still stink to the dog if they had drugs in their clothing. It’s not as if it’s responding to Lynx.
My source was the ABC. A few of the stories so just do a search if you really care.
10
How do you define a dealer ?..15+ hits in the pocket ?
So what is someone with 14 hits on them ?âŚ.. maybe call them âdistributorsâ ?
Because few addicts can afford to carry 15 hits all at once, but a supplier/ dealer/distributor , can now lawfully wander around with that amount stuffed in his pocket knowing if cought he will only get a $100 fine, and sent on his way back to his secret âstashâ to refill his pockets and carry on.
Rinse and repeat !
More ACT green madness.
80
First of all, a dealer sells drugs. It is kind of the main definition.
15 hits is what the evidence suggests is the upper end of what an individual might buy for personal use.
What you describe is exactly what can happen now except with a large amount of admin time. Do you think that people apprehend and processed in the old system couldn’t “and sent on his way back to his secret âstashâ to refill his pockets and carry on.”?
03
I’ve drunk enough beer to float a battleship*, but I’ve never done “drugs”. Many of the people I drank with weren’t so particular but they trusted me and weren’t shy.
I can assure you that there is little demarcation between user and dealer at the street level. Users onsold to subsidise their habit. A casual user is happy to buy from a mate without associating with a dealer. The mate makes a buck, so what?
* Figure of speech.
10
And the legal definition is unchanged under these laws. So what is your point?
00
We are looking at recreational drugs, nothing too hard and obviously better than alcohol.
02
What? Who is we?
12
The authorities have lost control of the war on drugs, its better to attempt a more rational approach.
03
Providers of medicinal cannabis are gouging, forcing consumers to take CBD in addition to their preferred option of THC.
this has created a lot of anger among the subculture.
Talking to a doctor the other day, she said it had to do with the protocols to wean everyone off THC to CBD, I told her it wouldn’t work.
11
Ice and Meth were two of the named substances.
Have you ever had anything to do with an ice or meth addict? Obviously not if you think they are not hard and better than alcohol.
10
Ice and meth addicts tend to die prematurely. misadventure. Its a small fringe group bent on self destruction.
When it comes to the social fabric, alcohol is a more insidious drug.
10
BS! I have outlived many of my peers while drinking more than many of them.
And I have never raised my voice to my wife or disrupted the lives of my children.
30
Ah yes, how is your liver holding up?
Our correctional institutions are full of people who went beyond reasonable bounds.
There are discussions taking place to put medical warning labels on alcohol, what do you think of that?
00
Police time should be spent on IMPORTANT things like enforcing social media posts, arresting people without masks on remote beaches, and beating up pensioners in the streets for vax protests.
This is Australia after all. đ
/would be sarcasm if it wasn’t true
120
You only have to ask yourself, âWould dealers support this or not? Is it likely to increase the number of people using illegal drugs or decrease it?â
Anyway, we all knew that Canberra was totally out of touch with Australian values ⌠the Voice referendum merely confirmed it.
31
Gee Aye according to the regulations in the ACT I can grow two cannabis plants legally in my backyard, but if I grow one tobacco plant I face a fine of up to $300k and or possible jail time .
80
and if some chop chop is found on a truck the vehicle is forfeited.
10
Whatabout RR
10
Doesnât seem odd to you that a product thatâs packaged and sold everywhere legally canât be grown for personal use but a product thatâs illegal virtually everywhere can be grown for personal use .
I have no issue about Canberra cabbage being legalised but the other drugâs definitely not and Iâm sure there is already a few in Queenbeyan taking advantage of their neighbours good fortune . Law of unintended consequences the ACT are just passing the buck onto NSW cops .
10
It’s odd and relates to its history – commercial and health.
I don’t really see how people in Queanbeyan benefit. If they sell it they get jail* and if they take it home they get jailed. And if they take drugs and drive home they get jailed.
just short hand for apprehended and then given a criminal record.
20
An off centre area for concern with tobacco – one I’ve learned from work coollegues – is biosecurity. Tobacco is a vector for a large number of diseases that affect cucurbits and tomatoes and relatives. Home growers often use illegally imported dirty seeds.
Of course if there was a legal avenue to buy disease free seed, that would be better. Which comes back to your point.
10
Your neighbours just the other side of Fyshwick will be buying what they can or visiting mates in the ACT to legally get high .
If itâs the latter the ACT will go down hill very quickly, when I was there no one was out on the streets at night and crime was low , if all illicit drugs become legal I fear assaults etc will increase proportionally because of the amount of people high as a kite . Only thing that may be a positive is organised crime wonât have a product to sell especially cannabis .
10
no one is suggesting that any are legal at any level. Decriminalising is what is happening. Parking for 2 hours in a 1 hour location is not a criminal act but you still get a fine.
And semantically, if a drug is legal it is not illicit. There cannot be an illicit legal drug.
00
‘On average, indigenous admissions into the ACTâs prison have grown by 5.7 per cent per year.’
Clearly the ACT authorities don’t like people lying down in parks and being disorderly.

A bloke I knew got taken for a tour on a beer delivery truck run in a rural area. At one stop he was given a tour of the premises by the publican as the beer was unloaded.
The description of each feature of the premises ended with “And then there’s the Green Lounge”, which he hadn’t seen when the tour was completed. So he asked –
The “Green Lounge” was the park across the road

Chicago privatised its parking meters to Morgan Stanley and now pays more in true up payments than it ever got in meter revenue. Morgan Stanley also tripled the prices, dropped the maximum time to 2 hours and extended the hours of operation. Morgan Stanley also made back its original investment, and has 50 years to run.
bit like the private operators of toll roads in Australia
ain’t capitalism wonderful
61
Most of the time.
21
You correct as always, Peter.
In all my years living in USSR never saw one parking meter !
Did not see many private cars either ….
72
Given that they’ve only recently been phased out (in favour of smartphone apps) that’s surprising…
00
The parking meter deal goes back to 2008. I understand Morgan Stanley brokered the deal but see there was Arabian money in the mix of investors. Oil money looking for a home.
When cities privatise parking meters you know they are desperate for debt relief. So I checked:
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/each-chicago-taxpayer-on-hook-for-nearly-42000-of-city-debt/
The city now has a scapegoat for their failures and fiscal irresponsibility reflected in higher parking payments. They can blame Morgan Stanley. Chicago Parking Meters LLC can optimise their prices within their contract terms to make as much money as the market can bear – capitalism at work. Also, modernising the payment collection makes the system easier to use and adds value for users who are obviously still using street parking.
“chicago woke” gets 20M google hits. Woke people do not make sound financial decisions. Feelings rule.
70
And what about those private companies that paid a billion dollars to not build a freeway? And $380 million to not build regional sporting infrastructure.
Oh, wait âŚ.
11
It’s not capitalism Peter, because it’s a monopoly. There’s no set of competing meters side by side!
Capitalism is competitive and beneficial because prices come down to whatever is reasonable (usually). Monopolies are noncompetitive and therefore not beneficial because there is no downward pressure on prices.
30
How is it it capitalism when a government regulates the process? That’s the inverse.

“Chitin: The Inflammatory Bug Compound the Peasants May Soon Be Forced to Eat”
https://pjmedia.com/benbartee/2023/10/29/auto-draft-151-n1739017
30
Paywall. Heh.
Tip: Copy the first paragraph into a search engine and find the same story elsewhere.
https://conservativelyspeakin.blogspot.com/2023/10/chitin-inflammatory-bug-compound.html
Purveyors of ze bugs and the technocrats who support replacing red meat with insects are very enthusiastic about the dehumanizing prospect of forcing the peasants to consume crickets for sustenance.
They openly brag about a particular substance called chitin, a long-chain sugar found in the exoskeletons (shells) of insects.
Via Cricket Flours:
There are different modified versions of chitin that are utilized throughout the insect world that make it possible to have the strong exoskeleton of a beetle, for example, and also be used to create the flexible bodies seen in caterpillars.
For those that are interested in entomophagy and eating insects, the chitin is also a great source of valuable fiber and a prebiotic too.
Sounds amazing!
Unfortunately, the âgreat source of fiberâ is also a known driver of inflammation in the gut with potentially serious adverse consequences if consumed on a regular basis as a replacement staple for grain.
Via University of California San Francisco
The beetleâs back and the crabâs shell owe their toughness to a common compound called chitin that now appears to trigger airway inflammation and possibly asthma, UCSF scientists have found. Insects, molds and parasitic worms â all common sources of allergies or inflammation â produce billions of tons of chitin a year. Humans and other mammals lack chitin, but we do have specialized enzymes to break it down.
Via Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology (emphasis added):
Chitin is sensed primarily in the lungs or gut where it activates a variety of innate (eosinophils, macrophages) and adaptive immune cells (IL-4/IL-13 expressing T helper type-2 lymphocytes). Chitin induces cytokine production, leukocyte recruitment, and alternative macrophage activation. Intranasal or intraperitoneal administration of chitin (varying in size, degree of acetylation and purity) to mice has been applied as a routine approach to investigate chitinâs priming effects on innate and adaptive immunityâŚ
Immune recognition of chitin also involves pattern recognition receptors, mainly via TLR-2 and Dectin-1, to activate immune cells to induce cytokine production and creation of an immune network that results in inflammatory* and allergic responses.
As it is, sans mass consumption of chitin, chronic inflammation is literally the largest driver of chronic illness in humans â more so than obesity, more so than metabolic dysfunction, and more so than any other factor.
If one were so inclined to silently kill people slowly over time, inducing long-term, often subclinical inflammation would be the best way to do it. Some term this type of murder âsoft-kill,â because it occurs over time, and attributing the ultimate cause is difficult.

Oncologist: I’ve Never Seen Cancers Behaving Like This
Young people, in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, are developing aggressive and rapidly-growing “turbo cancers.”
Dr. William Makis, who has diagnosed 20,000 cancer patients in his career, says, “I’ve never seen anything like this.”
“I’ve never seen stage four breast cancers presenting in women in their 20s. I’ve never seen stage four colon cancers presenting in men and women in their 20s [and] 30s. Leukemias that will kill you in a matter of days or even hours after diagnosis. Lymphomas that, again, kill you in a matter of months.”
And Dr. Peter McCullough has talked about this extensively, about the myocarditis and the damage to the heart, the scarring to the heart. And then some were dying from blood clots, pulmonary embolis, strokes.
But then there was quite a large subset of doctors who were developing extremely aggressive cancers and cancers at an age that they shouldn’t be getting. So, for example, there was a doctor who developed gastric cancer in his 30s, presented at stage four. He was dead in less than a year. Very rare brain cancers in young individuals in their 20s and 30s, medical students, and medical residents. And these cancers would always present at stage four. And they would always kill them in a matter of a few months. And it was always less than a year.

Switzerland Mails Iodine Tablets to 5 Million Residents in Case of Nuclear Disaster: Take ‘at Request of Authorities’
Iodine tablets are in the mail to millions of Swiss citizens as part of the country’s preparation for a disaster at one of its nuclear power plants.
In 2014, about 4.6 million potassium iodide tablets were sent out, according to SwissInfo. With a 10-year life span, those are now expiring.
Everyone living within 50 kilometers of one of the countryâs three nuclear power plants will get their iodine tablets in the mail. That totals about 4 million people, according to the website jodtabletten.
The total is down from 2014 because one nuclear power plant in MĂźhleberg has been shut down.
