“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Broken WinDOZE theory

Broken WinDOZE theory

Microsoft Windows 10 reached its end-of-life date 11 days ago, on October 14, and that means most of you who are NOT on Linux right now, have absolutely no choice but to upgrade your machines and/or install WinDOZE 11. This is a much worse deal than you might think....
All bone and no steak

All bone and no steak

For the carnivores amongst us (which is, basically, every single person who reads this site, because we absolutely, positively, 100% DO NOT tolerate vegans around here), you know what a “tomahawk steak” is. Simply put, it is a ribeye steak with the long bone of the...
And now, everything you always hated about RUSH!

And now, everything you always hated about RUSH!

So I was bumbling around on YEWCHOOB this morning, as is my wont, checking out various videos on geopolitics, when I found something in my recommendations from Rick Beato that claimed the legendary Canadian band RUSH have a new drummer: If you have ever wanted...
Why Pajeets Pajeet

Why Pajeets Pajeet

Anyone who has ever been to India can attest to the fact that the country is extraordinarily loud, noisy, crowded, and – there is no way around it – stinky. The air on the subcontinent is different from that everywhere else in the world, because it comes in flavours –...

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Being a policeman in PommieBastardLande must be one of the most rotten jobs around, these days. There was a time when police were a trusted and deeply respected pillar of British society. Today, though, it is blindingly obvious that the British police are the very...

Guest Post: Fractal Nations by Randale6

LRFotS Randale6 wrote to me before I went on vacation to offer up a couple of guest poasts, which I am finally getting around to publishing. The first is essentially a repeat – well, in part – of a great big long write-up that he did on his site, on how...
Graveyard nation

Graveyard nation

The picture you see above, comes from an item that crossed my Telegram feed yesterday. You can read for yourself what the numbers say. A little MAFF will tell you that Ukraine now has effectively about 1.1 MILLION dead – most of those listed “Missing in Action” are,...
When a comedian takes up music

When a comedian takes up music

Most musicians that you watch playing on stage, generally have a lot of fun doing their thing. Perhaps the major exception was the late, great, dearly missed Neil Peart – aka “the guy who taught God how to play the drums”. We RUSH fans called him...
The tragedy of the lost generation

The tragedy of the lost generation

My generation grew up during a sharp transition from peace, to war. Or at least, it seemed like a peaceful world, at the time, when I were a wee lad in Asia. It was a world of plenty, opportunity, optimism, and hope. That world died 24 years ago. I have said for quite...
Truth in advertising

Truth in advertising

Coinbase dropped a very interesting ad a few days ago, in which they basically trolled the hell out of PommieBastardLande in the process of encouraging people to sign onto their crypto trading platform. I have to say, it has been quite a while since I have seen a...
