WTF.
Stay off the telescopes Zef. T
You're talking gibberish.

Today I got in trouble for not moving the Elf on the Shelf.....

Spoiler alert kids:
The Elf on Shelf is moved by your parents every night! They don't move on their own. They are stuffed toys just like all your other ones. You've been lied to by your parents all these years. 

The key to understanding prices is the difference between manufacturing, construction and operation....

Most if not all manufactured products follow Wright's Law  where prices drop 15% every time the produced volume doubles, construction is like housing construction, every project is different and prices tend to rise... 

Wind power is essentially a manufactured product with minimal construction, no fuel costs and low operating costs.....

All energy on Earth comes from the Sun as the sun is constantly giving us more energy than we can use,  that extends to wind power and Fossil Fuel which ultimately come from the sun. 

The amount of matter on earth is more or less fixed, we are not getting new matter in any significant amounts, most metal has been here since the planet was formed...

Even if we decide to travel to other planets, we are stuck on this planet, if we stuff it up, most of us go down with the ship... and even if a few rich guys make it elsewhere, the challenges of making that planet habitable are just as great...

The chances are high that the sun will still be making free energy long after humanity is gone...

Covfefe.

foxsports nrl have look @ all the 16 teams spine for 2020 season & im not surprised they have the bulldogs @ 16 th in english they are saying we have the worst 9, 7, 6, 1 
in the comp  so this means we will have 2 grind any wins out 

I don't disagree, our spine, is young and inexperienced, or in the case of DWZ, lacking some of the ideal attributes at this stage.

So it is mostly a case of your players needing to step up, nothing to say they can't do it, but they are unproven...

It is also the case that forwards need to lay a platform for the halves to play, it is a team game..

I'm still surprised that we didn't sign someone like Billy Brittian a dominant 9 who can also play in the halves.. because my biggest criticism of our side at times is we lack direction and a plan in attack. The young guys are improving, and really they just have to back themselves when a opportunity arises.

It has been a long time since we have had a 9 who can count numbers and reliably send the ball to the right side of the field, or so it seems... Ennis and Lichaa in particular were very bad... again this is something a player can learn but good players do it instinctively and top shelf 9s can make an overlap out of nothing.  

Until we see how the spine starts the season, I'm in no rush to spend money on any other position...

I'm not sure we lack direction, but we sometimes go into games with only 1 plan and when that plan fails or is thwarted, we have no plan B.

The other issue we have is we are a team that can only win if we remain in the contest. By that, I mean we very rarely can win once we go down more than 14points. We similarly rarely put games away early, meaning we are forced to grind out wins for the full 80mins week in week out.

Until we can improve on these 2 fronts we will be considered to be bottom half table in most predictions.

This is a story that shows either the journo or the Titans have no commonsense...

"The Titans are devastated after tabling what they believed was their best offer to Arrow, reportedly a three-year $1.8m contract."

"they have cover for Arrow's loss after recently signing Melbourne youngster Tino Fa'asuamaleaui on a three-year deal from 2021 believed to be worth $2m."

So if they are offering Tino $2m for 3 years and Arrow $1.8m for 3 years, I'm not surprised Arrow is leaving... $1,8m for 3 years is an insult..

Tino is a good young player, but Arrow is currently worth much more...

I've thinking of forwarding this story to the journos maths teacher, but my guess is they will not be surprised. 

Or if the Titans are really that dumb, we need to kick them out of the comp, spoons belong ant Parra... and even Parra aren't that dumb..

I think you'll find the latter happened before the former.

Titans didn't offer Tino 2m and then Arrow 1.8m. Titans knew three weeks ago (as first reported) that Arrow was off to The Bunnies and THEN went after Tino for 2m.

Maybe it's still stupid, but not as stupid.

So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk, you talk about the "carbon footprint", fumes are spewing into the air, right, spewing! Whether it's in China, Germany, it's going into the air. It's our air, their air, everything, right.

That sounds like something Trump would say.. but it a little too coherent... so perhaps Trump on a good day...

Well I'm glad somebody finally figured it out. I mean, do you really think I don't understand wind? Me?

It's made of fumes.

Trump is so good he can improve anything even the Sun ... I bet he is dying to visit the Sun ... and it is a great place to work on your tan... granted not great for golf...

I love your last line...
But Parra IS dumb.

In amongst all the waffle, Trump has transformed the USA for the better and other than the blacks and Mexicans, many US people actually agree with me. 

So impeach all you want. He will not lose office and will likely win next years election again. 

Merry Christmas to you all...

also from me a merry Christmas 

Best wishes comrades. Have a great day, I’m off to Uncle Des’ for the day...

merry christmas

Merry Christmas All ...

I agree Marki. All the lefties are frothing at the mouth but guess what... the quiet Americans will ensure he wins just like ScoMo and Boz. 

And once again they won't see it coming. 

Oh yeah. Happy Christmas all!

C’mon Villa

It was ugly, but nevertheless it resulted in a win for Villa. 

Very curious decision by the Kiwis to bowl first... understanding they don’t have a front line spinner to take advantage of a last day track, I still think it was a decision that ensured they would never win the match...

Yes, I would've thought winning the toss would've meant batting first. They must've thought with the pitch having some green & erratic bounce that it was worth the gamble, hoping it'd dry out more for days 2 & 3. Not to be. 
What I found silly from the commentators (I think ABC at the time) was attributing that green/erratic bounce as the reason Burns got out to that yorker. It wouldn't have mattered what kind of pitch it was, that ball was zooming in on the base of middle stump. Even with (or without) the most erratic bounce imaginable, still would've bowled him.

The very late swing got him... it was a Jaffa... And most batsmem would’ve been lucky to keep it out...

At that point, bowling first looked justified.
But the Aussies have batted well and been disciplined which has got them to this good total.
Could have been all out for 200 odd but now the scoreboard pressure will get to the kiwis

Terrible decision to bowl... even without the benefit of hindsight...
after the last test they had to get on the front foot and bat to try to apply that scoreboard pressure to the Aussies... 

Orr banned,.. Isaac Moses asked to show cause why he shouldn’t be, and a couple of other Player Managers in lessee strife.... 
About time!!!
No word yet on Villis accreditation...

Next step is to get tough on players that are complicit re cheating the cap... So if a boat turns up in your driveway for your dad for example or you sign two contracts you’re out for say 12 months... 

The price of coal dropped 30% in 2019 in the face of an "unexpected" drop of 3% of coal power generation. And it's now expected to drop further, both price and usage.

So you can build all the coal power stations you want, but the question is - who's gonna dig it up for you?

So whether you believe in climate change or not, you better want your gov to get on the right train. Because one's leaving the station and the others stuck in it.
