I didn't really rate what would be their final studio album.

Even outcome from a Yes vote and the Voice is better than the status quo...

Case in point:

Three years on, Rio Tinto says Juukan disaster remains a ‘deep stain’

Rio Tinto chairman Dominic Barton has described the destruction of the 46,000-year-old Juukan Gorge rock shelters three years ago as a stain on the miner’s history.

Yeah, that was just about unforgivable.

I suppose the voice could recommend a penalty for those responsible.

Money is not going to cut it.

I’d be thinking 5 or so years of the dirty river executive helping out in remote indigenous communities and go from there.

Something personal and meaningful to show proper contrition.

Much better use of their time than destroying the planet and scamming shareholders.

I’m beginning to like the voice.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Maybe you should go look see in the direction that I suggested. You will find your nirvana.

I thought this was an open slather thread.

I came to that conclusion because I saw @Gronk meister was posting here

Frogstomp was their best album hands down...

Speaking of... I just finished watching the "other two" on Australian Story, part one of telling their side of the Silverchair story. When they were on, they were on.

I don’t give a shit what those two bogans have to say. Andrew Johns was the talent behind that group.

 

[the phantom menace]

He undoubtedly was, as evidenced by the evolution in his song writing on Neon Ballroom, and then Diorama - by which time they'd lost the rock, but his talent was there for all to see.

Still, the other two were a pretty rhythm section back when that was what Silverchair were all about - and it was a pretty good doco part one. Also a shame Daniel's talent has largely gone to waste since those days/over the past 15 years, replaced by drink driving etc.

 

[Gronk]

Now now now Gronky.

This thread is supposed to be relaxed and easy reading.

We happily mine and export uranium.

There’s no ethical issue involved in taking it back.

A good question for the voice.

Bowen posted about this today. TBH I don’t think the cost is super high, compared to the subs, but the cost per kw is very high.

But he’s right, where are you going to put 71 small modular reactors? Hiw big is your backyard?

So about the same as 12 subs? What's the problem??

All we need is 7 to 8 nuclear waste dumps to pay for these 72 sites.

Inquiry backs plan to store world's nuclear waste in outback Australia | Nuclear waste | The Guardian

Draft findings of royal commission in South Australia back nuclear fuel storage and expanded uranium mining, but rule out nuclear energy industry

amp.theguardian.com

And then we’ve pretty much got all the power we need and about half a billion dollars left over for humane and indigenous projects.

Breathe new life into outback towns and that kind of thing.

Thousands of jobs created.

Visitors and tourists amazed at how cheap our energy is. Businesses knocking on the door, shock horror, industry might move back in.

The envy of the world.

Ease the pain and suffering of poor and old people.

Put a dump on one of our islands like Howard did with the refugees.

We would also become more influential in world affairs, especially as coal is phased out.

Mark my words, people will revisit nuclear power once more coastal cities start going under and little island states disappear.

Leave the woke in the wake!

Otherwise:

A skeptic might say a many of the Duttons reactors will end up in safe Labor seats. 10% margin or more should settle the issue.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But honestly, if you want to talk about incompetence, there's a whole nine years of nothingness to refer to from the previous coalition government.

The world was doing fine until Covid came along

We really don't need to be spending that money on subs either. Though we could dry dock the subs and hook them up to the grid, kills two birds with one stone.

Have another listen there is some good stuff in there, but they were pushing shit uphill after nevermind.

I already said the cost was not the issue. The issue really is that we have a grid and these SMRs will have to be plugged in to the existing grid. So good luck with that.

Moving forward, the cost per kwh is huge compared with renewables, so I hope that nuclear is supplementary to renewables otherwise there will be a riot over energy costs. Also you can’t switch these babies on and off like diesel generator, so they need to be running 24/7.

Ziggy already did a business case for SMR and they don’t stack up in a country that is blessed with an environment conducive to renewable energy.

No please, finish your sentence.

A long time ago, triple (double ?) J used to put an unearthed band in Martin Place on random Fridays. I saw a bunch of unwashed greasy kids called Innocent Criminals thrash through my lunchtime.

Of course Ben Harper had something to say about their band name ….

I felt In Uetro was a better album . That was real Nirvana for me. Nevermind was far to polished. Bleach, Incesticde, In Uetro had that real grunge sound. So did many of their B songs that never made it on a disc.
Unplugged does represent Nirvanas true sound but also a great Album.

But songs like Serve the servants, Frances's the farm will get her revenge, Sliver, Aneurysm. Just roar power.

That’s why I’ve always liked Muddy Banks.
