Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 19/07/2026Yes, Tuscani Beverages are claiming it can’t be our vodka, someone else must be counterfeiting it. However note that the ABC is not reporting any obvious follow up statement one would expect, e.g., “We are urgently testing our product to confirm that.” 110
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 19/07/2026Even weirder is response from distributer Tuscani Beverages: it can’t be our vodka, someone else must be counterfeiting it. No statement that “we are urgently testing our product to confirm that.” 031

Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 18/07/2026That aside, the real solution is just for per km charging to replace fuel excise entirely, rather than try to come up with some frankenstein combination of the two. And there are also arguments for subsidising EVs with a lower per km charge, at least for an interim period. 000
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 18/07/2026I got halfway though without any clarity on the plan or the numbers. My best guess is that NSW plans to charge hybrid owners partly directly, and partly via fuel exercise. But has this been calculated fairly? I couldn't tell from this video. 100

Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 05/07/2026“base load supply” (e.g., from coal) is obsolete. It used to be an advantage, but the explosion of renewables (especially solar) has reversed the economics so that base-load supply is now a liability. Renewables plus storage can meet all needs and is the cheapest option. 010
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 28/06/2026Even if the efficiency project is successful you’ve still created a massive resource gap. More likely, the efficiency project is a partial or total failure, and you’ve created an even worse problem. 1120
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 28/06/2026I’ve seen this kind of thing first-hand from “business idiots” (as @edzitron.com calls them). 1. Start an efficiency project. 2. Long before any project deliverables are realised, sack all the people you assume will eventually no longer be required. 1111
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 22/06/2026Several interviews with "business people" along the lines "Good idea, but ... it makes cash-flow management more difficult". Translation: "I may have to rely more on my own money instead of borrowing interest-free and consent-free from my employees". Yeah, I think they should shut-up about that. 120

Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 29/05/2026So what’s going on here? I have a theory. “Trump has been pestering us non-stop to prosecute Carroll, but we told him that would be even more stupid than the failed prosecutions of James and Comey, and make us look even more corrupt than we already were. Anyway, we haven’t given-in to Trump, yet.” 010

Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 07/05/2026So it would include, for example, people who were off work all year on Workcover, and at the other extreme all the people who took one day of sick leave all year. In other words, a completely meaningless number! 010
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 06/05/2026That stupid article has no explanation of what the “eight million” number means. Is it the average number of people on income support at any one time? Is it the number of people who were off work for any amount of time last year? Something else? 110
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 04/05/2026Even more insane is the assumption that the mere presence of a detention centre is somehow a punishment for people who live nearby.

Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 28/04/2026That might be valid if “Country” just meant “the local area”. But even that is not accurate. “Country” means the cultural and spiritual connection of first nation peoples with the land and “Welcome to Country” is an acknowledgement of this age-old tradition and an invitation to share in it. 010

Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 06/04/2026To be fair to Pink Floyd, that album is not really about “dark side of the moon”, or science. In fact, the only reference to the title is an audio vérité disclaimer at the end: “There is no dark side in the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.” Which should clear up any confusion. 😀 010
Reposted by Doug MillerTim Hill of Antifa, #FBPE @tjrh.uk · 05/04/2026Dark side ≠ far side. The far side receives just as much sunlight as the side that faces us. The Dark Side of the Moon is an album by Pink Floyd. Otherwise, it is a transient thing. 161
Doug Miller @dgmlr.net · 05/04/2026I’m not following how this would work. The fact that a submarine could weigh “18000 tons” is surely irrelevant. The detector would respond to density anomalies, e.g., the difference between the mass of the submarine and the mass of the displaced water, but this is zero for a cruising submarine. 000
