Re: Israel declares state of war

Can you come up with a choice of words that would both give the honest reason for not allowing Mr. Falter to cross the march and yet not leave oneself open to an accusation of anti-semitism? Perhaps a very simple "Oi, dont be a plum" was what was required? His freedom of movement in London makes hi...

The only way to sort this is to brainwash everyone into believing in a new God. Or an old God. Bring back Baal! What was it that Baal did that made us lose interest in him?

Re: Israel declares state of war

If there were "openly Jewish" people on the march who were welcomed and experienced no difficulties, the cop may have worried not that he was Jewish but that he was being deliberately provocative and, not wanting to accuse him of that that, managed to come up with an outstandingly poor choice of wo...

Crazy odds for a team that's won one game all season away from home in Perth where we struggled historically. Almost tempted to put $5 on the Force at that value, but just can't bring myself to bet against my team.

Re: Renewable Energy Tech

The other one with rooftop solar is that the efficiencies just dont work. You dont get the ideal tilt angle, you are typically building it where people live, not where the best solar resource is, and the O&M component is not the same meaning soiling losses are higher. As such, LCOE is significantly ...
