Counting fingers: 1... 2... 6! Yes, still alive! Wait, you've been gone?

Look at it this way, if they succeed, they can award themselves the Nobel Prize. If they fail, they can get the Darwin Award. Win/Win 😇

Found a better trailer for Adams Apples with English subtitles (the previous one I posted a few pages back wasn't an official one) Flammen og Citronen (The Flame and the Lemon) about WWII A movie based on real events. After WWII thousands of young German POW's where ordered to clear the minefields on the Danish west coast.

Sometimes bigger is better 😇

Almost finished my interstate move. Got the keys yesterday, getting my furniture tomorrow. Good thing too, as I'm a bit tired of hotels. I've been living in hotels since I moved out of my old place end of February Got electricity sorted out, water is there too.... oh yeah, need internet too. I'll get there eventually. Edit: Unexpected benefit of the global panic... hotel rooms are dirt cheap these days... cheap as in competitive with renting an apartment, just with room service and free toilet paper rolls included

I love Rammstein. After Metallica bailed out on me with a last minute warning that their concert was cancelled, I've found myself a new "must go and see live!" band. Just bloody tricky these days with the world in lock down and groups of more than 2 people prohibited 😂 The scourge of commercialism

People panicking are an ugly sight (man stabbed in scuffle over toilet paper rolls) https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/woolies-employee-stabbed-amid-chaos/3974381/ Virus is not what it used to be... (Fallout - Forced Evolution Virus )

Remember to use hand sanitizer... Besides, a completely unregulated market economy will invariably gravitate towards monopolies. After which you'll get infinitely low quality at infinitely high prices.

I served my time in the Danish Civil Defense (Denmark at the time still had the draft, you picked a number from a ballot, low numbers went to do military service, mid range numbers go to the civil defense and high numbers are "jack pots", you go free). We were constantly drilling for what In Danish was called "ABC" warfare (Atomic, Biological and Chemical). The gear for the chemical warfare stuff was not what the 100% hermetical stuff you see today and part of the kit was a satchel of Atropine injectors for nerve gas emergencies, the ubiquitous gas mask and the suit and wrappings around wrists and ankles to seal the gaps between the suit and gloves/boots. Atomic warfare, well, the strategy was to survive the blasts, so mostly similar gear and Geiger counters (and Iodine tablets, yeah, no kidding). Now, for biological warfare, the teachers pretty much taught us, don't bother. If someone is stupid enough to let a deadly pandemic loose, pray to Odin, Jehova, Cernunnos, Allah, Your Mother or whatever, because the world (and you, by association) is screwed beyond repair.

Unless your PM is an utter piece of incompetent ****, in which case there is never going to be any apologies needed... The science behind getting such an individual relelected (nope, Aussies are NOT the smartest people in the world, I do sometimes call it a third world country and actually mean it)

You don't say, I lived a year in Germany, within spitting distance of the Brandenburg "Airport" 😝 Talk about a project that should have been scrapped years ago 🙄

Heh, got a company wide (i.e. to all 14 countries we operate in) email after lunch from the CEO today, Tuesday at COB is pack and go home time until next month. Not open for negotiation. Just great when I'm currently living in a hotel with sucky hotel WIFI. Could've been worse I guess. At least they got toilet paper and a bar 🙄

They're just pretending... 😇 (edit: people tend to become irrational during pandemics and major disasters)

Sounds familiar. Before there was such a thing as home computers, much less internet, it was company names like Airfix, Revell, Matchbox and similar that had my interests 😎 Acrylic paints and some brain matter dissolving glue was always on my little work desk in my room. Had airplanes hanging from the ceiling and the shelves lined with everything from WW I tanks and battle ships to models of famous historic sailing ships.

Just think of it as natures attempt at correcting population numbers... happens to many species when there a case of over population, whether they be mammals, insects of birds. /cynic

It could have been worse, it could have been Scottishness 👀

Apparently Donal Trump believes a wall can keep the virus out of the US. He's such a genious 😂 Edit: That is so stupid even by his standards, that it was a toss up between here and the funny thread

Halfway through my second week as homeless.... literally homeless 😝 My Quality of Life is considerably better than people living on the streets though. Courtesy of Covid-19, hotel prices are rock bottom at the moment. Good thing too when looking for a new place to rent and live permanently. Allows me to be a bit "pickier" and not sign up for the first thing I can get. Moving interstate is always such a hassle. Not as much as moving internationally mind you, but still. I'm getting too old for this **** (waves walking stick threateningly at kids on his non-existing lawn)

I don't think the Scott Morrison government will handle the virus crisis as well as they handled the bush fire crisis. He'll most likely be turned away by US immigration when he turns tail and runs off, trying to hide on Hawaii again. The little piss ant could use some of the stuff he doesn't mind the rest of Australia getting exposed to. The opposition might not be able to pull his sorry ass out of the fire again this time, offering some much needed leadership for the services involved. Edit: short version, the current liberal government completely hopeless in dealing with any kind of situation and has no tolerance for criticism. I'm sure Gromnir could express it better when press offices being raided by police because they published news about the war crimes that the government tried to sweep under the carpet. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Corona virus is a personal matter between you and your God, so better start praying.

I wonder how many here remembers Fisto?

This.... sorry, I was having my edit post open for too long 😇

More Rammstein. Mein Teil (My part/My bit) based on a real event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes Live in Russia Rock am Ring

Imho Biden would make a just as bad a president as Trump. Same level of incompetency. Trump hides his behind bravado and threats, Biden simply can't remember how things works. Edit: In hindsight, maybe Biden would at least let competent people run the government and not sack them every time a subordinate shows glimmers of intelligence.

For all the "Frozen" fans out there.... 'Enter Snowman' 🤟 Not because it's particularly good, but good enough for a chuckle
