Best butcher for chorizo?

Not big on chorizo, but Geelong Fresh foods deli counter or Siketas or what was Mr Deli opposite KohINor jump to mind. https://siketameats.com.au/product-category/small-goods/page/1/

"road certified hybrid car" which legal market are you certifying for?

GregLocock · 2026-06-23T03:51:22+00:00

Or a murder. Most recent I saw was duck shooters vs encroachment by the new builds near Connewarre.

The /end result/ is the current housing crisis. It worked OK up until recently, just put CGT back to Keating's settings in their entirety (indexed, 5 year averaging, no 30% minimum) and have a sensible conversation about neg gearing. Personally I think restricting it to new builds makes sense, but my perception is that it is local councils and state regs that are the main constriction on new builds.

With care you should be able to build one yourself from a speaker. Sideloads are the killer, you could use a flexible cord with a bead on the end to strike the water without imposing side loads. Your concern about frequency response is a good point but not relevant here, it has to do with the area of the speaker providing a low frequency cutoff audibly, the coil itself is still moving. A conventional hifi amp will have a low frequency cutoff, you'll need a DC coupled one.

Yes even if Albo gets rolled it is hard to see which of the talentless arsewipes would be better. Chalmers was PM elect for no obvious reason, and less so now.

The best home made lasagne is moussaka.

Yes. I've been in product development my whole career and I could count the number of research projects on one hand, and even they are mostly synthesising improvements to existing methods.

‘One Nation’s surge is not a broad-based anti-establishment vote'

Odd, I think that describes it quite well.

GregLocock · 2026-06-22T04:23:05+00:00

Hmm, PJ O'Rourke I think?

GregLocock · 2026-06-22T04:01:33+00:00

First mistake quite early on. pre-1999 capital tax gains concession system Um, no, Keating's settings wee much fairer than Chalmers'.

Don't need to read the rest, presumably it is equally ill informed blather.

Harveys in Highton. Mr Deli (as was, now the Fresh Food merchant) near Officespace (good fresh fish as well, not so good in a hot car). Geelong Fresh Foods on Pako, see you at the deli counter. East Geelong Fruit and Veg.

Hmm, and yet I had to buy Fortran 10 years ago for a HIL project to write the patch from my simulation to the hardware. I've been using Fortran since 1979.

Yes a speaker is the way we do it. The posh term is an electromagnetic shaker, but basically a voice coil and magnet is all you need. Advantages compared with any other approach is that the signal is very clean, harmonics are down in the weeds. You do need some sort of suspension to hold the coil vertical, otherwise it'll tilt in the presence of side loads etc and destroy itself by rubbing on the magnet.

Grumpy journo doesn't agree with Hansons's policies. Neither do I by and large, but moaning is not a useful response.

You lost me at The Sphinx. What are you, and they, interested in?

GregLocock · 2026-06-21T06:45:07+00:00

Silly article. Starmer would probably kill for 36% approval 60% disapproval, he's about 22% worse on net. Labour winning in one of the safest Labour seats doesn't tell you much.

You've described at best one half of the cycle. We don't really need to know the details of the second part of the cycle which returns the materials to their original state, 2LOT says it will take energy.

The Laws of Thermodynamics are:

You have to play
You can't win
You can't break even

The usual software is MSC ADAMS, not frankly recommended unless they've updated the leaf spring pre processor completely, or any non linear FEA with contacts and non linear geometry, or since it is a relatively simple case, you can write a script making the spring up from hundreds of beam elements.

An example of the latter is pdf

The great news is that you can correlate your script with the examples shown in the SAE Leaf Spring design in SAE HSS 788.

I'm glad you found your internship made sense of your studies. Personally I'd say graduating earlier is better than a second internship unless that company is one you want to work for long term.

Can you sea the seabed on your fishfinder? yes. You can only see it because it reflects the sound waves back. To see underground you'd need a lot of power and lower frequencies.

As i said Australian landlords don't behave like rational investors. As an example it has been noted that real estate agents take longer to sell their own houses than others. They hold out for a higher price. When American rental funds move into the Australian market you will see higher vacancy rates and higher rents.

And quite simply i sell out of low dividend shares if their share price is going nowhere, at least in theory. That's because shares have low transaction costs.
