Huge win? Hollow Victory? Pyrrhic victory? Maybe Hollow is better, since the cost is probably being funded by idiot Trumpist donors. DOJ Appeals the decision. But nevertheless you let this exaggerated assertion stand? Yes it is true the judge handed a questionable decision to Trump. But huge win?
In fact it seems to have damaged the opinion of the legal fraternity about this judge's ability to deliver rational judgements.
I tell many of my online students not to abbreviate cannot as can't, because the listener is seldom, rarely, sure whether an ESL speaker is saying can or can't - 'cannot' and 'can not' are much better aren't they?
However @op 'whether we can't get that to work' is perfectly logical. In attacking a problem to be solved in a limited time you will discover whether you can or cannot solve it. According to Goedel's theorem, there are infinitely many propositions which cannot be proven or disproven, but of these you can be sure it cannot be proven that they cannot be proven, whereas with provability you have some possibility!
Speaking of limited time, Fermat's Last Theorem (for which he had a super-neat proof he said) took 358 years to solve in 1994.
That's because yesterday, fullmoon, was mid-autumn festival, zhong qiu jie - but you can buy tins of them all year round and the are considerably cheaper 'off-season'. They are not a great delicacy anyway, too sweet as I say. SF Chinese or other shopholders are just as likely to BS as any others.
The first Chinese moon-landing and mineral retrieval was (no coincidence) called Chang'e-5 as in the fairy story (no 5 there, unsurprisingly). Go easy on the mooncakes, they are mostly dreadfully sweet.
$9 for one yuebing? There's one born every minute. 6 for AUD$30 around here. And as for 'gross' someone has strange tastes. Overly sweet for sure, and 1/4 of one mooncake super-sates my sugar craving. Bitter? That's weird since most are filled with sweet jams like black sesame paste, red bean, jasmine, lychee or durian. Some are savoury, but bitter? Unimaginable!
The Victorian state government signed an agreement, not Australia. Subsequently the Federal Govt ripped up the agreement. Check your information - Australia is not a party to 1B1R but they arguably should be.
@rob Quote from ex-pm Morrison I'm pretty sure Australia has refrained from participating in 1B1R. Personally I see it as benefitting the world, whereas the Yanks see it as somehow sinister.
@chancer what nonsense! the price of oil before the Russian invasion of the Ukraine was back to the level of 2018. The cause of the low was the Saudi-Russia oil price war, and the cause of the high is mostly Russia-Ukraine, nothing whatsoever to do with defeat of Trump, a cause for worldwide rejoicing in my opinion.
@srl too neat? what an absurd thing to say. He has hired help. No one said that's HOW they found the documents, the picture says 'THESE documents were found'. Think!
@Ray650 consider the price now is back to 2018 level. Then there was Syria-Russia Oil war when prices fell (no doubt Donald Trump had schemed that, right) Then in early 2021 it rose back to 2018 level, so that was Biden right? And Ukraine hike was also Biden, but fall back to 2018 levels that was Trump's fore-thinking? Jee-zuz the logic is amazing innit!
A huge win? A win... (at last)? A delay perhaps. After 50 odd (very odd) court cases he wins a delay. Whoopee yay! Callooh Callay! Trumpee baby's won a short delay!
Biden made a strong speech. Gloves off and high time too! There is no point in appeasing the rabid and incorrigible 'We wuz robbed' deplorables! Time to win over the middle and moderate republicans who sensibly reject Trump's rabble rousing.
@ab It is also eminently eye-g-n-o-r-a-b-l-e I used to think that the greatest torture would be to be strapped down, eyelids pinned open and confronted with endlessly playing MURDER SHE WROTE episodes. Instead you have risen in my esteem to the same lofty height; having your 'musical prose' before one's eyes is way up there too.
Ah, interesting - I was unaware of residential GT Heat pumps - up to 4kw for 1kw of electricity it seems, but it is limited to heating and cooling use, does not generate electricity as Solar does. The Super GT still requires large deep heat sources
Cost depends on depth and @op you should remember that NZ is geothermally active - the ring of fire. Iceland too, japan, indonesia, alaska, california, west coast south America. It is not such an effective option if you don't have volcanos and earthquakes
@mic curious that on a blog thread which moans about distant foreigners expressing thoughts and opinions about America, you should choose to publish skynews.com.au youtubes, don't you agree? Somewhat ironic? skynews.com.au + fox - check their bias rating... try ABC Planet America instead I suggest.
@op the fact that you as an insular and one-eyed American ignoramus know little about the rest of the world does not mean that others share your ignorance and disinterest. Without living in the Roman empire I still know a lot about Claudius and without living in San Diego or Big Sur, a lot about America, its culture, its myths, the land of McCarthyism and (shudder) its 45th president. Even about lake Wobegon!
@merc he cannot be president, he rejects chopped chicken and won't try the wonderful Hainan Chicken Rice. These are constitutional requirements for American presidents.
It seems to me that @scuttledbutt is indeed trying to do as he says. He has made antagonising posts in my thread about a Japanese student and also in @bcjenn's - no accident I think.
