Reading Peter Hunt's thesis "Determined to Fight - Determined to Win”: The combat experience of the People’s Army of Vietnam at Điện Biên Phủ

A completely different viewpoint of the battle from the Vietnamese side. Learning new details about Dien Bien Phu. Amazing stuff.

The musical arrangement on @jimmybarnes.com Working Class Man (40th Anniversary) Ballad edition is simply amazing. Adds a new dimension to one of Jimmy's best songs.

Hey, I bet you didn't hear that Zork 1, 2, and 3 were open-sourced today!
…Oh, you have heard. Yeah. Way ahead of me. :)
Here's my comments, and some details that you might not have seen.

CloudFlare outage seems have to taken out my ISP connection at home. Rebooted cable modem and router but pppd connection is still completely borked. Some obscure DNS related thing perhaps?

I have this in my Google Books library and have still not made the time to read it. There is simply not enough time to read all the books 😓
I have spent the last few months working my way through this book, taking notes as I went, finally finishing it last night.
Simply a phenomenal book.

Have finally started reading this monster. Google Drive will get a hammering yet again with PDF uploads about the Vietnam war, not to mention more obscure print titles to add to the pile.

Shit floats to the top most of the time in politics. Look at Albanese, Marles, Plibersek, Wong, Watt - all fucking useless. Chalmers is the only hope.
This is a good lesson for Australia. If you can't do anything in a 3 year term, you can't do it in 4, or apparently 5. The problem is not the term length, the problem is the culture and incompetence of the politics of the people who rise to the top in our parties.

If you think if only ever there was some nice, moderate communist who won in a free election without violent revolution, and who wasn't a tyrant or a killer, and who wasn't anti-American, we would just leave them alone to fail or succeed without interference, I invite you to look at all of history

A failed petro-state, that's what America is.
A spill on a family farm in Oklahoma killed several acres of vegetation and contaminated drinking water. A judge ordered the farmers to pay when they went after the oil company.

Oil Companies Contaminated a Family Farm. The Courts and Regulators Let the Drillers Walk Away.
The oil and gas industry has reaped profits without ensuring there will be money to plug and clean up their wells. In Oklahoma, that work could cost more than $7 billion if it falls to the state.

Once again I am stunned by the ignorance of the ordinary British voter. Indian soldiers have served alongside their British counterparts in every major conflict from the first Anglo-Afghan war in 1838, at Gallipoli in 1914, to Burma in 1945. Without Indian troops in the ranks Britain loses WW2.

Why is anyone surprised by this? Nobody went to jail as a consequence of the sub-prime crisis, why would there be any consequences for industrial scale automated fraud now?

this is the craziest thing I've read in a long time???? Meta projected that 10% of its revenue last year, $16 billion, came from scams. Meta intentionally charges the scammers MORE and knows that people who click on scams are more likely to see more of them www.reuters.com/investigatio...

I've never understood why American politicians treat voters like idiots. Working class people are not 5 year old children unable to comprehend words with more than 2 syllables. The 40 year trend of trying to simplify complex ideas into 3 word slogans needs to die.
Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Funny how nobody even cares who Husic and Dreyfus are now. Meanwhile the worm has turned for Susssaan. The real question is does Hastie have the guts to challenge before Christmas. If he does you can bet the usual suspects in the Canberra gallery will be lining up for soft soap interviews.
The mainstream media love to try and concoct fantasies about factional discord in the Labor party. Meanwhile the Nationals can't decide who's driving the Tarago next week and some rando named Susssaan is leader of the opposition.
