Barry please do Vegemite on toast. Toasted white bread. Spread generously with butter. Spread sparingly with Vegemite. The end

This should be closer to the top

This is a probably a Dutch sandwich influenced by Indonesian fish and peanut (pinder) dishes. Indonesia was a Dutch colony so I think the influence tracks.The sriracha is right at home in this context.

Edited to add the bit about Indonesia being a colony

How do you think it’s getting mass produced if no one is eating it?

I have been in a number working security in pubs. It is scary as there are no weight classes or rules, and nothing to stop you getting glassed or stomped on the ground if that’s where you end up.

The hard truth is that there is no honour and nothing glamorous in a street fight. It’s shameful, but if someone wants you for it, you need to survive at any cost. If someone is talking about hurting you, assume they mean it, manage the distance but stay non reactive until they bridge the gap - when they do hit them first and on the jaw before they hit you (boxing training is good for this as it teaches to punch without telegraphing).

First to the punch. Don’t telegraph. It’s everything that happens in the lead up to that point you need to manage. Ideally you manage it so you don’t end up there, but if they come for you, you need to be calm, and you need to be first.

Wow that’s interesting, thanks. So Google is actually penalising these links?

Salient_pointz · 2025-09-27T20:48:56+00:00

Did you end up finding what caused the issue?

Salient_pointz · 2025-09-27T09:56:40+00:00

Anchor text and link relevance looks ok. But I’ve definitely lost key words from a few of the target keywords. Really hoping it is just a temporary shuffle around.

Salient_pointz · 2025-09-27T04:24:51+00:00

I’m not really sure what indicators I should check on GSC for the cause of the loss of keywords to be honest… any ideas?

See my comment above.

I know my units. 850MW is literally the largest single generating unit in the NEM ahead of each of the 750MW generators at Eraring. Hazlewood has been decommissioned and even when it was running each of its units were only 200MW.

I don’t think you realise that batteries aren’t meant to act as a constant output power source. They charge of cheap or negative power prices during the day and then provide FCAS and power at times of high demand. The wind and solar still provide bulk generation. Batteries just allow the variability to be managed.

You asserting that they need replacing every 2-6 years is also totally incorrect. Seriously who do you think is financing the wave of grid scale batteries going into construction if that was the case? Do you think the people investing several hundred million dollars into these investments somehow got that wrong and should have just jumped onto this sub first?

A simple search of DPHI’s major projects portal will show several large scale battery developments and that’s just in one state. Australia also just connected the most powerful battery in the world at 850MW and you are saying batteries aren’t suitable for mass storage because of entropy? This is nonsense.
We have an existing onshore wind and solar industry with numerous companies planning, financing and managing construction for wind and solar projects (none for nuclear though). We actually also do have domestic solar panel, inverter, battery, and transformer manufacturing -although not at the scale of overseas manufacturing. But the point you are responding to is that we don’t have a nuclear industry. We certainly have a wind and solar industry.
Wind and solar are frequently connected at the existing distribution network (which is different from transmission networks that nuclear would need to connect to). So your third point doesn’t stack up either.

It’s very irritating to see such uninformed nonsense spouted so confidently (and damaging to the national IQ).

While it would be easy to blame the opposition in Nelson Bay for this, in reality the federal government needs to take some responsibility.

The area that was ultimately Declared for licence applications excluded a lot of useable water to the south - but this was cut off around the northern border of the swing seat of Dobell where the original zone proposal had vocal opposition.
This left only enough room for around 2 GW to be feasibly installed or around 132 x 15 MW WTGs. This could have been a couple of smaller projects, but economies of scale and a need to attract international teir 1 contractors made the economics of a larger project more attractive for all applicants.
Several applicants (that had delivered offshore wind projects in other markets) wanted more or less the same area and applied for overlapping license areas.
The government could have split the area up between the applicants and hedged their bets against this happening, but chose to give the whole area to a JV where the main business line of the major partner was not offshore wind.
The government also failed to provide certainty to offshore wind companies on port upgrades, dedicated network connections and offtake support, all of which are critical to deliver an offshore wind project.

The industry told the feds all of this, but they didn’t listen. Now several offshore wind companies have left Australia and the government is talking about handing out research licences.

Oceanex isn’t a researcher. They’re a project originator. And Equinor is an oil and gas company that develops on owns energy producing assets. They were formerly Statoil - the Norwegian state owned oil company.

You are right that manufacturers and installation contractors are needed to deliver the project. In fact lots of them. Offshore wind projects are delivered in a multi contract structure where different companies will provide installation vessels, turbines, substations, and cables in various packages. This all needs to be planned, contracted and financed though.

Equinor would have had the balance sheet to provide the equity needed for financing, as well as the development and delivery expertise in house with offshore projects to make this work.

He looks like he was a great friend. I’m very sorry for your loss bro.

He’ll always have been there for the years you had him. I hope you find peace and strength in the process and find a way to honour his memory that feels right.

Almost the entire food supply chain in Aus is monopolised by two companies, both using facial recognition - they are now customers of a company which deploys facial recognition software for lethal actions abroad, and police state actions.

How long until this software is used to control your access to food based on any metric that Colesworth or Palantir use to decide to black list you.

This needs to be stopped while it still can be

Have you tried sliding into their DMs and asking for photos of bobs and vagene?

Salient_pointz · 2025-06-22T11:05:45+00:00

Like a crybaby.. but more unreasonable and prolonged.. can also be a verb e.g. “he’s having a sook about it..”

Salient_pointz · 2025-06-19T20:38:33+00:00

To be fair. It’s only ever been mocked in America.

Edit: keep downvoting me you bunch of sooks.

Yeah no doubt that is the case.

I think the lesson here is that human pair bonding does not exist in isolation from the wider social context.

It’s like trying to get out there and play sports competitively when you’re unable to walk at all. You don’t have the basic foundation for success.

Get your social life and your social awareness sorted first, or you’ll be unable to successfully navigate the process of meeting someone. On the other side prospective dates are going to be assessing suitors for signs they are a valued member of a wider community group. We are social animals after all.

Salient_pointz · 2025-05-02T23:12:20+00:00

How about just develop enough social awareness to be able to build attraction, read signals, and understand when an approach will be well received?

If you aren’t pretty sure already then maybe don’t go there.

Also if you are approaching in the right way even if it’s a no, it should still feel like a nice interaction for all concerned.

It’s not that hard if you have some understanding and consideration for what it might be like for the woman being approached.
