I love Shishi to death too, but he's about a mega 14 wrestler.

I'm shocked to hear capitalism has crises of overproduction.

Next thing, you'll be telling me Chinese builders made too many apartments.

I think with Kotozakura and Aonishki, you're okay

Shishi's still hanging there in top division.

He got his regulation technique prize, yeah.

Joerg,

I'm an Australian miner. I've got in interesting German link to solving the Germanium issue.

Can we talk ?

I am shocked to hear industrial capitalism may have crises of overproduction.

The critical thing about solar is it annihilates every other form of generating electricity on price, and generates power when you need it for air con IE on hot sunny days.

It's also small, modular and scales fast.

I think the jury is still out as who the transparent battlefield helps more.

I'm counting Falklands as one of the wins to get them to roughly half, together with France 44, Italy 43 and North Africa 42.

Short version is "no news"

If you want a magnet that keeps trucking at a thousand degrees, you want samarium magnets.

It'll keep on with it's task, regardless of external conditions.

A point to remember is that roughly a half of the RNs amphibious invasions in the 20thC were bloody failures.

Dieppe, Anzio and Gallipoli were done by a navy that was good at them, and had practice.

Seaborne invasions are *hard*.

A wicked problem for the Liberal Party is their current party members and current funders are in favour of their current, seemingly unelectable, state.

See especially Sen Antic in SA who is happy and proud of his efforts to reform the SA branch.

Voters said otherwise, with 2/6 and 2/8 elected.

A suggestion.

Rather than "merit principle", how about we act like a ruthless political party and go for a "who will help us win seats across the whole country" principle ?

Hiring wingnut women was candidates won't help, as the Libs found under Abbot.
