A great song performed by Billy Strings to celebrate the great Willie Nelson on his 90th birthday (which was yesterday). It’s called California Sober for reasons that will become apparent. Thanks Billy, and happy birthday Willie. Have one for me.

And Sandy Stone...

My 2 cents from non-electric brewer. Regarding scorching of the wort when boiling, this can be avoided by not using elements with too high watt density (= the wattage of the element divided by the area of its active heating surface). I've read that 45 watts/inch is a good watt density for...

It’s called thinking for yourself, Dave. You should try it sometime. Might calm your nerves. You see, if you want to live in a democracy you have to get used to the idea of people having different points of view to yours. Moreover, they are entitled to them and their right to hold them should...

Just briefly - the diesel-electric subs and nuclear powered subs are intended for completely different strategic missions. Diesel-electric are quiet and run almost silently on electric motors when submerged. They wait close in shore and blend into the sonar background noise of crashing waves...

Tomahawk cruise missiles are designed to carry multiple varients of warheads, so it's misleading to say they're designed to carry nuclear warheads. e.g the M777 howitzer Australia has had for decades can fire nuclear shells. a) Tomahawk cruise missiles were designed to carry the W80 nuclear...

You don't need a "diploma", but need the honest common sense to disabuse yourself of misconceptions, such as: "If they thought for an instant they could just wander in and take it they would have done so years ago". How the blazes could China then, or now, come in and take over Austalia's...

Short and simple by Hugh White: And now we hear that Anthony the Albanian is going to buy 220 US Tomahawk cruise missiles that will fit neatly into the Virginia class subs we're buying (Tomahawks are designed to carry nuclear warheads). One negative result for Australia will be a regional...
