At least here in Australia we now that the minute the Election result are Officially Declared the previous Head of State is OUT and the New One can take over almost immediately WITH OUT having to wait for a set Date some months away.

Triphid replies on Nov 7, 2020:
@JeffMurray Actual 'marriage', as per the system we have today was only 'created' mainly post the rise of Christianity. Ancient Rome had a type of marriage system, 2 types in fact, the first being political alliance based for the Wealthier Classes involving ACTUAL contracts between families, the second being for the Plebs and Prols (Lower Classes) where they could merely dab a bit of soil upon the foreheads of each other and say a an orison of sorts to Juno and Venus, thus being considered as a wedded couple. In Ancient Egypt, however, the couple ONLY needed to spend 3 consecutive nights together within the same house and then would be considered as wedded couple. No contracts, unless the couple were from the Middle/Upper classes of course, No marriage license, etc, just simply married.

Yet another totally and utterly FALSE claim here. The original Jewish peoples (Hebrews) were little more than nomadic sheep and goat herders until a Despotic King named Hezekiah rose to power from amidst the Levite clan by literally slaughtering the Head families of the other 12, NOT 11 as claimed also FALSELY, clans/tribes. In an 'effort' to both justify his actions and meld the Hebrews into a nation of sorts, PLUS to, also, justify the 'Road of Warship and Aggressive Hostility, etc, he set them upon he ORDERED, literally, that " A writing of the history of HIS people and subjects SHALL be written thus proclaiming that, THEY shall HAVE only one God, and that they SHALL be the Chosen Peoples of that God and SHALL drive before them and SLAUGHTER ALL who are NOT Hebrews." The name Jews/Jewish was derived much later to depict ONLY those who came from and around the region that encompassed the small township/trading outpost that Hezekiah set up in the home region of Judaea. i.e. now known as Jerusalem. Prior to the Roman conquering of the Middle Eastern region there WAS ONLY the region/country known as Palestine, later the Romans divided it into Judaea and Galilee and set the families of Herod up as satrap Rulers of both regions i.e. Puppet Kings. The word/term/name 'Israel' is derived from a combination of the ancient Egyptian word 'Ish-em-raele' meaning, colloquially " Shit has come again," the Beggars and Thieves (Shit) have arrived," and the Aramaic phrase meaning 'Scorpions and snakes of the Desert."

Yes well given that the Lunar cycle is approx. 29 days, give or take a few decimal points then each year, according to them would be approx.354 days in length meaning for every 3 years that passed they would they would end up being approx. 11.25 days behind actual time and then needing to try and add in another/explain an extra .25 for every fourth year OR they simply ignored the whole thing. Historically, the Ancient Egyptian calendar was far more accurate since it had 365 days per year, made up from 12 months with 30 days, divided into 3 weeks per month with 10 days per week and 5 Inauspicious days spread out across each year, they also calculated in the extra .25 of a day difference that occurred in each of the 3 years adding in an extra day each fourth year thus giving them 6 Inauspicious days each Leap Year as we now call it. When Caesar, Gaius of the Julii, named Caesar to give him his correct name btw, returned to Rome from Egypt after 'settling' the dispute between Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy, he revised the Roman Calendar system from being Lunar based to Solar based.

My take on this is that if Jesus said "man shall not live by bread alone" and then went into some spiritual nonsense it would mean people ate a lot of bread in that time. Sometimes maybe bread only. maybe it's all some people had.
Triphid replies on Nov 4, 2020:
Yes, well eating meats was a kind of 'rarity' for the lower classes, especially in those times such as in Rome, etc. Main foods during those times were mostly bread, usually with a 'dribble' of Olive oil over it, Olives, Porridge and what ever vegetables were available. Though the 'knobs, etc,' ate a greater variety such as Dormice, Songbirds, Sea Urchins, red meats, Goat/Sheep/Cattle Testicles, various other thins such as 'elite' vegetables, etc, etc.

Triphid replies on Nov 4, 2020:
@FrayedBear So, Am I correct in that you reside in Ballarat which is ON the Geelong-Bendigo-Ballarat Line? So why has there NOT been more PUBLIC hew and cry about this 'problem' over the years? Yes, I know houses do NOT have "ears" but none-the-less they MAY be subject to vibrations, FFS, CARS cause vibrations, trucks of ALL shapes and sizes cause vibrations, buses cause vibrations, the winds cause vibrations, the list is almost endless as to the causes of vibrations. Try this for size, IF you will, there is route from the Pitosi Open-cut mine just N.N.E. of Broken Hill, check a map IF you like, there is a road from Pitosi to the Sydney Highway. Trucks carrying ore-bearing rocks, often either B Doubles or B-Triples come out of the Pitosi road, turn to the right onto the Sydney Highway, then travel on until they meet up with the MAIN Street of town (Argent Street), turn LEFT at the Argent St.- Menindee Road junction then continue along Crystal Street, a mainly residential area btw, go on until they turn right again at the intersection of Gaffney St and the South Road Overpass, follow Gaffney St. until it reaches the junction with the Gypsum St. - Sth.B.Hill Overpass turn left again then right at the gates to the Perilya Mines and onto the Crushers at Perilya. All of that passes through and right alongside residential dwellings, these trucks carry an average of BETWEEN 40 and 60 tonnes each at an average of 5-10 times per day during daylight hours and an average of 5-7 times per day during nighttime hours. I have quite a number of good friends/acquaintances who live and reside on that route, PLUS we have the same sort of trucks hauling mineral bearing sands, etc, from the nearby Basin Sands Mining concern that travel, ALSO, through built-up and residential areas but by a slightly different route, these too are either b-Doubles or B-Triples, we ALSO have Interstate Truckies going from the Highway to Adelaide through town via Wlliams St,- Oxide St. - Argent St. then out on to the Sydney Highway and the reverse as well, these trucks are usually semi-trailers with either a second or even a third 'DOG/Pup' trailer in tow as well. Oh, and NOT forgetting the Sheep/Goat/Cattle/ Wool Bale/ Stock Feed trucks, also a semi-prime mover with at least 1 or 2 trailers ( double deckers) btw, in tow that go through here regularly. IF memory serves correct, the Rail line you are complaining about WAS built a long time BEFORE Ballarat grew and expanded to the size it is now. Hence, they would have lain down the tracks, etc, on the best possible ground and sub-surface they could find since ONLY idiots lay tracks where there is NO solid sub-surface present, i.e. soft sand and soft sub-soil. As to "hitching cars, etc, to the curb" due to these supposed vibrations that MAY...

Triphid replies on Nov 3, 2020:
@FrayedBear Oh FFS, how EXACTLY do trains blowing their horns impact on and cause damage to houses? Here we have a MAIN Interstate Freight and Passenger train line, 2 Marshalling Yards, A Locomotive Storage and Running Repair Facility, a Marshalling Yard for Ore wagons from the Mines running right through the town. Most Locos that go through here are the latest, biggest and most powerful in Australia, i.e. Supercharged and Turbo-charged either v-12 or v-16 cylindered Diesel-Electrics. The Freight trains haul anywhere between 5,000 and 7,000 tonnes per train. FYI the rail tracks are built upon a bed known as an 'cushioning layer made up of compacted soil with a thick layer of Ballast ( crushed stone about fist sized) to reduce or stop any vibrations from the train itself. LAW states, also, that ANY train approaching a LEVEL Crossing that is NOT either fitted with Boom Gates or Crossing Lights MUST blow its horn to WARN traffic of its impending approach. Plus a train MUST sound its horn when approaching a Railway Station EVEN IF said Station has what are called 'Block Signals,' in-built track sensors, fitted to the rails. Each Locomotive weighs an AVEERAGE of 130-150 NETT tonnes ( dry weight), add in another 5-6,000 litres of Diesel Fuel, 3-400 litres of Lubricating Oil in the Diesel Engine and sump. They travel at around 90-100 kilometres per hour on the open ( between Stations, etc, ) lines with 5-7,000 tonnes of Freight and wagons pushing from behind, a normal Freight Train takes approx. 2.5 kilometres at FULL speed to come to COMPLETE halt with ALL braking systems, i.e. the Air operated Train ( Locomotive and Wagons brakes), the Air operated Locomotive Brakes PLUS the Electro-Dynamic Brakes literally slammed into the Full ON position. When a train hits a car on a Level Crossing, no matter how soon or hard the ENTIRE Braking systems have been applied the car, its occupants, etc, WILL be shredded and scattered EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE 99.99% of the time and IT IS one VERY bloody, horrible, nasty MESS to say the very least, trust me on that because I have attended many a Level Crossing where Car versus Train has resulted in DEATH and Destruction. The first I ever attend was in June 1981, where an Insurance Assessor in a new Commodore was hit on a Level crossing,, the car was literally shredded and spread out over a radius of about 250 yards from impact, it took us 3 hours to find every piece possible of his body which mixed in with pieces of his shredded car and I DO MEAN PIECES of his body btw.. His abdominal organs were found dangling from the branches of a tree some 20 yards away from the impact. So, I hope you MAY just see that a bit of noise from Train Hooters is far, far better than having blood, guts and bits of meat and bones spread ...

@FrayedBear Hey, working on the Railways IS a 3 shifts per day job btw. For example, A Freight train leaves Sydney at NOON on Friday, it takes about 16-18 hours to get to Broken Hill, it has approx. 2-3 hours here to be shunted, re-marshalled and then the A.N.R. ( Australian National Railways aka S.A. Railways) Locos come out the Loco shed, attached to the load, the Train Examiners then do another walk around and check that the brakes are working and ALL handbrakes are released and the train then moves off on the stage of its journey either Mile End, Dry Creek in S.A. or across to Perth which is approx. 2 days travel by rail. The Unions ALWAYS stood behind the Workers no matter what and realised that it WAS a 3 shifts per day job as was mIning here once until the Companies and the LNP Governments climbed into bed together and change everything in their favour. Originally the Mines here, post B.H.P. had 3 7 hour shifts per day 5 days per week for Underground Workers, 3 8 hour shifts per day 5 days per week for Surface Level Workers BUT not any more, NOW it IS 2 x 12 hour shifts Underground, 10 days on straight and 4 days off.

@FrayedBear No, the injuries we both suffered and are suffering from were DEFINITELY NOT due to our fellow Railway Workers. The Tanker carrying Anhydrous Ammonia was PRIVATELY owned and maintained NOT S.R.A. property but IT was on the and in the Railways Marshalling yards at the time. The onus, as per law, IS on both the Company who owned the Tanker and the 'Hierarchy' of the S.R.A. A Train Examiner, which I was, carries with him approx. 2-3 kilos of tools during daylight hours and during darkness hours ALSO has to carry an Eveready Dolphin Lantern as well so to be able to see where they are going and what they are doing. In Marshalling Yards there are about 8-9 feet between EACH of the tracks ( lines) and there are anywhere between 5- 7 + Marshalling tracks, the ONLY lighting is either from standard style Stret lights/lamps placed evenly along the outer sides of each Marshalling Yard and your lantern at night, the rest is darker than a dead dog's arse-hole. The Breathing Apparatus used back then was similar to a Scuba Diving back-pack and weighed, when fully charged at approx. 30 kilos. Almost impossible to wear when crawling under freight wagons to repair, adjust, etc, the braking systems btw, which were par for the course on almost EVERY train that came through the yard/s.

@FrayedBear Btw, and relation to your 'tagging me' I CHOSE to start working at the age I was when I worked as a Cinder-box Cleaner on Steam Locomotives. I wanted to EARN my OWN pocket money and contribute to the household as well. That was in 1961-1962, after being the Messenger Runner, I was then trained and promoted to being Station Masters' Assistant then trained as 'Stand-by Fireman (Stoker) on the S.T. Y and W Class Steam Locomotives operated by the Silverton Tramways Company, the ONLY licensed, Privately Owned and Operated Railways in Australia at the time btw. After the S.T.C. closed down rail operations from B. Hill to Cockburn and my family moved to North Broken Hill I then got part-time jobs as, 1) Assistant and Trainee to a local Butcher, ( after school Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with every second Saturday mornings as Delivery boy, every second Saturday Afternoon pumping petrol at a Garage until new Owners took over and hired their nephew, then every second Saturday Afternoon at the nearby Corner Shop helping serve customers, stacking shelves, etc, etc. And YES I paid taxes on my incomes as well. At 14 I met and learned from an Old Timer horse/Camel-breaker and Blacksmith where I learned the basics of both Smithing and breaking/training horses whilst still attending school. From High School I went into nursing, Mid-Wifery, Psychiatric nursing, etc, etc, left that with 5 Certificates and went on to try Long Distance Truck Driving carrying, mainly, Nitroglycerine, for the Mines near Tibooburra, N.S.W. and so on until I joined the State Rail Authority of N.S.W.

Dad, on the other hands, was the old School Gentleman type, a full-on Atheist who, IF he caught any of his kids swearing would simply give them a very black look, shrug his shoulders and shake his head. Though he did use the 'Feck' a few times and I still remember clearly him saying " If u c Kate" when he accidently sat on barbed fish hook once.
You little Beauties.

@FrayedBear No, it IS just the Railways doing their usual tactics and NOT wanting to pay. Our Barrister, there ARE 2 of us btw suing the Railways, not just me, has calculated that with accrued interest the total amount now due, IF ever paid, is approx. 3.5 Million dollars EACH and climbing. The 'excuse' from the Railways is that, "Neither of us were wearing the correct Breathing Apparatus at the time the leak occurred." How could we since we doing the regular inspection/repairs as per the PRESCRIBED regulations for incoming trains and the 'Breathing Apparatus" was 1) NOT in the Locked storage cage in the first place but had been sent away for inspection/re-charging to Sydney 3 days earlier, and 2) Regulations stated that Breathing Equipment may ONLY be used in confined spaces such as Water/Fuel/Oil Gins ( Tankers) and the like BUT never worn while inspecting trains and wagons externally. Btw, the Restraining Order was NOT due to 'discrimination' as such BUT due to harassment/unwanted/unwarranted intrusion, etc, by the Evangeloon and his fellow God-mobsterers. There IS a legal DIFFERENCE there FYI. As to the "Child Labour" matter, child/youth Labour WAS prevalent in the B.H.P. owned and operated mine, The BIG Mine as it was called, from its very inception right through UNTIL the Miners Strike that shut down mining here UNTIL they gained an agreement from B.H.P. for better conditions/pay,/working hours and the BSNNING of Child/Youth Labour. You WILL find all that and more, should you care to actually read the numerous books written about the History of the Mining/Mines in Broken Hill, PLUS you will find how B.H.P. made their fortunes, ripped their 'roots' and left the town and peoples for 'dead." There are STILL bodies of miners buried in rock-falls on the B.H.P. mine that have never been recovered, it was NOT unusual for at LEAST 1 death to occur for EVER 'shift' worked on the Big Mine, men often died from Silicosis, Explosives dusts on the Lungs, Heat Exhaustion, Crushing injuries from rock-falls, Lead poisoning by inhaling lead dust, and almost countless other things because those WONDERFUL Founders of B.H.P. ( Charles Rasp, McCulloch & Co.) WERE ONLY EVER concerned with the PROFITS and NOT the Workers. THAT, Sir, IS 100% FACTUAL.
It was great hanging out in the zoom chat tonight. Here's the pics of my halloween costume.

If you don't mind me asking, ARE you Deciduous or Evergreen....LOL.

@GwenBFree Nowhere near as bad as getting 'hung up' in an African Boxthorn bush though I'd reckon. Those things have spikes/spines about 3 inches long, sharper than needles and some chemical or something that actually feels like its burn your skin for hours after they jab into you.
How many of you curse like a sailor?

What the fuck is wrong with the old friggin curse word?

@freeofgod My Dad was not much of a user of profanity/swearing BUT when either his kids were doing something a bit wrong/incorrect or something he was doing went hay-wire we'd hear him say things like, "Moses on a Moped, " " Judas Priest," " Mary on the Modess," "Jesus on Pushbike," BUT if you heard the words " Christ and Cornflakes" uttered you knew it was time to either cover your ears or duck for cover....LOL.
I'm an atheist who loves cats....

Triphid replies on Nov 2, 2020:
@Joanne I get numerous cats these days using my front verandah and gardens as their own personal 'litter trays' unfortunately and most annoyingly, it costs me an average of $25.00 per week in the strongest disinfectant that I can buy. NEVER once have I had such a problem with stray dogs though since laws here make it illegal for dogs to be straying/wandering around freely as cats are permitted to do. Conversely, when my Blue Heeler, Charlie, was still alive he came to my house as a Rescue Dog ( my daughter and I rescued him btw), unhouse trained BUT would ALWAYS go to furthest corner of the backyard to 'do his business' and always in almost the same place as his previous 'businesses.' Cats, on the other hand, in my experiences with owning quite a number in my time, aren't so 'caring' as to WHERE they crap/pee just so long as they are leaving their scent markers in as obvious a place as possible even though they bury it so, as of tonight I'll be re-installing my 'cat deterrent system with nozzles placed strategically where they pee and at the right level/height so they will get a nice spray of Turpentine and Citronella Oil up their rear end.

@FrayedBear Hahaha, FYI I started working BY MY choice at the age of 9 years old as a Cinder-box Cleaner on the Silverton Tramways here in Broken Hill, 2 shillings and 3 pence per week for 3 hours 3 days per week AFTER school and 4 hours EVERY Saturday morning. I was then 'promoted' to Messenger Boy, delivering notices of times for Crews to start work to get trains running out of town delivering freight, passengers and Mineral Ore concentrates to the Railhead at Cockburn on the NSW-SA border. Pay - 2 shillings and 6 pence per week for the same hours. WHY do you so claim that I AM a "disabled, discriminated against Broken Hill atheist ex railwayman? I'm NOT discriminated against by any means though a bit better money pension-wise would NOT go astray. I'm being to think that de-blocking you may just have one MASSIVE mistake brought on by somewhat mis-placed sympathy.
I sometime walk with a woman who is a churcher.
DenoPenno comments on Nov 1, 2020:
This is true. In my church daze I used to almost cry about the starving and homeless or those with physical deformities. I wanted to give money for them so badly. They are still around today and will likely always be around. The middle men in this are still pushing their stories and also taking ...
Triphid replies on Nov 1, 2020:
A very poignant and prime example is the St. Vincent De Paul Charity/Op shops system. I know quite well of numerous people who have DONATED clothing, etc, etc, to St. Vinnies totally FREE and a few days/weeks later have seen the exact items being SOLD for almost Retail prices. St. Vinnies, as we call it here, is operated mainly by Volunteer staff, e.g. FREE of Wages, etc, gets 100% of its stocks FREE of charge so WHY does it need to charge over-inflated prices for what it gets for FREE when dealing with those most in need?
