"To move on, we have to get through denial, anger and the other stages of grief to acceptance. We need to recognise that we live for the foreseeable future in a world without a friend in the #WhiteHouse, and that this points to a destiny for #Britain much closer to #Europe."

Mick Birchall Reviews

For many years, I have been captivated by the Dutch metal band #withintemptation finding their music to be a powerful and enchanting experience. In my latest blog post, I deeply dive into the rich discography they have crafted throughout their illustrious career, exploring the evolution of their sound with each release. From their hauntingly beautiful 1997 debut album to their most recent offering, "Bleed Out," I examine how their musical journey reflects their artistic transformation. Each record showcases a unique blend of symphonic elements, evocative lyrics, and captivating melodies that have defined their style over the years.

"In the UK, we have an expression for benchmark incompetence: we say someone couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. But a tech boss being unable to organise a tech event on a tech platform feels like a new industry standard: the brewery’s head of piss-ups being unable to launch a piss-up in his brewery."

This is the sort of nonsense I never expected to read in Independent Journalism (Crickey News in this case). If you want Australian dollars to be spent solely on producing what those dollars are meant to pay for you’d need to use blockchain (or similar) to account for every ‘thing’ these dollars are expended on. Imagine the bureaucratic nightmare if you will. Businesses (and defence manufacture/procurement is a business) does not work that way. The dollar you spend buying an orange in a grocery store does not pay for ‘That’ orange. You hand your money to the grocer and he does what the bloody well he likes with ‘That’ dollar, in return you get an orange. Period. That’s it. No accountability is expected from the grocer whether it went to his porn site subscription or anything else. Tell me now paying a defence manufacturer for a weapon or its platform needs to be traced solely to the capability you ordered/purchased. Stupid headlines, stupid concern, stupid idea. The journalist in question is advancing his own agenda and demonstrating his own fears and anger. In case you ask: no. I couldn’d get past the following:

From SpaceX test flights to lunar eclipses, there are many things to discuss when getting involved in the flat-Earth debate.

In this opinion piece, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki debates the flat-Earth theory, going all the way back to ancient Greeks and the Library of Alexandria.

See what he has to say… ausgeo.co/drkarlflatearth

Advantages and Disadvantages of Remote Sensing - Understanding the Limits of a Powerful Technology

Excellent points, which is why I shared - but one they kind of missed was misinterpretation... it is a natural system, so the algorithms and process to take EA data and interpret necessarily can never be 100% perfect, and nor should they be expected to be. Ground truthing and other checks & balances are a crucial part of any such interpretation.

So @hellerphant put together this piece about #ResidentEvil4 remake, and how #Capcom cares about their legacy.

"It could have been very easy to play the ridiculousness of Resident Evil 4’s plot entirely straight, but what Capcom has done here is to subtly bring it in-line with the tone that has been set in the modern rebirth of the franchise."
