It was also revealed that 2 of the only several warships in Australia's fleet will have to be taken out of service...can't get enough personnel to sail them.
Ditto the army.
Seems no one much wants to join the military today.

See the Taliban charging any of their fighters with murder if ordered out on a night raid, and when fired upon from a house, seriously firing back at the house, killing the occupants including women and children?
So, your primary question on how civilized nations and their military should act is, "What would the Taliban do?" They are your standard of behavior? Interesting.

No 1 radio host saved the troops involved from murder charges.
Fuck your No. 2 No. 1 radio host.

Standard of behaviour?
All good.
But best of luck recruiting people to live up to those standards in a war, with their lives on the line.
So the People are saying "no thanks" to joining the military.
Charged with murder for firing back at a house that's firing at you?    Baaah!

Nuke missiles must now be the weapons of choice for Australia.

Take his lament, among dozens, that Iranians live in Beverly Hills and Americans sleep on the sidewalks.

I have issues with Salute Tony V's posts as well, but I don't believe that lament is his.  It's Luee's.

FAC, OC:  Your defense of a guy who praises monarchy and Royalty and then
whines about Nepotism keeping him jobless is quite touching.
Tony has been trying out this script of his for years.  I have refrained from
any critique for too long.  He wants to write his self-pity and nonsense on Elba,
that is his choice.  Back on ignore he goes, as soon as I give him a whiff of the grapes of Truth.

1) Hollywood is about make-believe, not reality.

There are many movies made in Hollywood that are about true stories/events.

Maybe you'd like to post in this forum your practical solutions for helping the vast number of homeless people in America improve their lives, have enough to eat, and stop having to live and die in squalor on the streets.

My lament is that immigrant camps for asylum-seekers/economic immigrants are being set up in America at the expense of locals having to vacate their stadiums etc to make room.

Said camps providing every amenity for the immigrants, plenty of food, every luxury, while Americans are starving, dirty, putrid clothes, on the streets.

Trump had the right idea...make the asylum seekers apply from Mexican soil, where they are safe.

That would have essentially zero effect on homelessness in the US because they are unrelated issues. If you want to know why we have not tackled the homelessness problem, ask your No. 1 radio hosts and the politicians he supports.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Vote for Democrats. That is the most practical solution.

Spanish singer and actor Miguel Bose...video on Instagram...

Slave children in Africa today?
Surely not.

Solar is great in the deserts, and in sunny locations, but in areas such as Battle Mountain, Nevada, where they receive snow every year, then there needs to be a heating source on the solar panels to melt the snow.

---------

The heating film for solar panels is made to measure in double layer adhesive aluminum for any model of solar panel, with modular power supply system with IP68 connectors and with a power of about 175 W. In a few minutes it brings the surface of the panel to around 10 degrees Celsius eliminating the snow.

------------

People are showing photos on the web of solar panels covered in snow and they are saying that solar is impractical in areas where it snows, but they just need to spend a few dollars more to apply the heating film to their solar panels and the heating film will melt the snow. Solar is fine for Battle Mountain, you just need to spend a few dollars more to buy the heating film to melt the snow.

Salute,

Tony V.

Correct.  Also, any smooth surface angled for maximum sun, snow will melt off quickly.

REPOSTED (got lost earlier in the chat)

 I was so annoyed that a Trump victory party in Iowa would appropriate George Harrison s What is Life that I had to cleanse that wonderful song by watching this video, with two dancers from the SF Ballet... beautiful!

mrs bambu stayed in  'Quad Cities' Iowa/Illinois when she visited America.
Her hosts and other people she met there were very nice.
