It will not only answer who is 007, and what is 007, but also how is 007, and why is 007.

I also expect it will be at least an hour too long.

Burble squawk rumble Yes.

The Murdoch media living rent free in their heads.

Except at 2am. And 3am. And 4, 5, and 6am. On the hour, every hour. We have an alarm cat* and it’s cat o’clock.

Of course, she sleeps during the day.

They’ve already delayed its deployment to reconsider the feedback. - https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/114709820512537821

In the mid-70s, our population was smaller than South Australia (around 600k).

He’s white.

A nuke sub operating there for a couple of months is still better than a DE that leaves after a week (presuming it can reach that far at all).

We deploy our subs for blue water not just littoral use. They patrol up as far as the South China Sea. Nukes allow us the stay on station for much longer than DEs.

Does it still count as drunk texting if you haven’t been sober since the Bush presidency?

The only difference between the entertainment industry and the porn industry, is that in the porn industry the talent know they’re going to get screwed.

Breakfast Club. I saw it in the 80s, and loved it, but thought I’d never watch it again. I put it on again during COVID and while it still holds up, I definitely won’t watch it a third time. Past is prologue, and all.

Beta most certainly did have porn. VHS’s advantage was that it had a longer record time (therefore more porn).

I thought she was kicked out by her mother, and her father wouldn’t allow her to live with him.

I’m currently reading Zero 22 by Chris Ryan. It’s about an SAS operative, and is a sequel to Black Ops. I loved Black Ops but thought the ending was naff. It appears he had Zero 22 in mind when he wrote that ending. Still naff, but I’m enjoying Z 22 so far.

I didn’t bother. I have a local server, and just inputted the info, and I was away.

I can’t see them coming back. They’re hemmed in. The further right they move, the less palatable they are to the majority of Australians. They can’t go left without alienating their base.

They also don’t have a leader to drag them kicking and screaming through the necessary process to change. Nor do they have the ability to recruit one young enough to make it worthwhile. It will be a long and painful exercise.

Right now, I fully expect them to continue along their rightward path. As a result, I can see them reduced to One Nation numbers within a couple of electoral cycles, which is still more than the Nats get. At some point, they’ll likely splinter.

They’re supposed to be the party of small business, but small business can’t afford them anymore.

I had to manually uninstall the old version and then install the new one, but it works fine.

Nah, it’s just crunchy.
