It’s a bit of a thing in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. I’d never heard it until my wife pointed it out one night, and then I heard it regularly, but not always. Conditions have to be right.

Years after first hearing it I found there had been an article about it in ‘The Beast’, a local free mini-mag that gets around these parts, I think monthly. Can’t be all bad, it includes a page of tide times for the month.

It is so low you can’t hear it with other noise about, so usually it’s noticed at night when you wake in the weird early hours, but it’s definitely there, it definitely ain’t in our heads, as both of us hear it at the same time. It does sound like an underground boring machine some far distance away, if you had to put a name to it.

Have never heard it elsewhere, up or down the coast or the holiday house on the Cennie Coast.

It’s a mystery.

Can’t recall when I last heard it. Doesn’t seem to have been around lately. I’ll try and listen for it next time I’m up in the witching hours.

Oz Covid Responsibly Responsive Response to ongoing Hospital Crisis

40-50% = o's not stated / Unknown Peak Covid / Flu / RSV ... Cases
Consider Oz record Visas in 2022/2023 Peak with record waves.
Equally would not represent in Official Australian Hospitals > Deaths...see relevant 40-50% nations...

o/s + Aged Care RAT / Home tests do not report or figure in Hospital Admissions > Deaths
Early 50% up to 80% [+] Aged Care die in Aged care outside of Hospital official test results
Ain't no Govt Health gonna stamp VIP died with or from a Made in China Kmart Covid Test...
Had no Will > Left half his money to the State & the other half to his dog!
Govt are again recalibrating Deaths thru to April 2024...Died with, from, of everything but Covid!

Oz Hospital Crisis lies in the fact each wave climbs longer without respite...currently 150 days
Aged Care Wave is now 140 days rising...tbb has long been informing...all while Experts bury it.
Correct... no more Spikes but relentless rising cost of Covid Care without a break...but why!
Impact on morale & Staff Furloughing + return of Global Aged Care / Health Clinic Mask Advisory.

(Ward Charts)
Covid Patients spend 16.8 days & occupy 2x more Hospital beds than pre covid 8.2days (Average!)
That data is sobering enough but strictly applies to Average healthy Age Patient Data.
Patient Demographic has Flipped from earlier Covid most affordable to record cost Aged demographic.

Salute Vic Health for sharing this vital data which exposes this unseen rising Oz Health Crisis.
https://www.health.vic.gov.au/infectious-diseases/victorian-covid-19-sur...
https://www.health.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-12/victorian-covi...

Please examine Vic Ward Chart Covid-19 Hospitaliations by Age...(Astounding Data revelation)
By the way...Data reflects current Aged 'Infection wave' in WA charts...so it checks out 100%
Check Patient Age demographic Flip..
Sept 2021 Fittest Youthful [+] fifo Patient Spikes jog in & out Hospital Turnstyles
Graph shows highest brief overload Spike/s with fastest ever recovering youthful patients...out the door!

Now see how each wave appears smaller but drags out resource for longer waves & slower recovery.
Clearly see this record impost of Senior Waning Patients almost camping in Hospital Beds forever.
Yes! tbb has researched this shocking cost impact on Oz Health System...

Firstly recall o's 40-50% Hospital impost on Language...requiring "Record" Multi cultural onsite staff!
Now consider that impost peaks each costly Xmas...importing all latest mutant Virus waves.

Here's the current Oz Hospital Covid Ward Chart
Health Care must make the switch to ongoing 140 days & climbing > Senior Covid Patient Costs!

2x Covid Average Patient Age (Now most oldest / Heaviest / incapacitated slowest Recoveries)
2x Emergency Cost / Largest Ambos / Beds / Rooms / Lifts for Oz Slowest - heaviest disabled Patient Group
VIP Premium attention & Giant Beds for tbb tubbies...need on call strong Multilingual Safety Crews!
Not just cities but Retirement Havens > Goldie > North NSW > West Sydney...Huge Accom' Costs!
2x ICU / Allied Health > Consider record Long Covid for already record incapacitated Seniors...soon 4x ?
3x Vents / Meds / Palliative Care > Larger Family Visits = more virus spread!
10x Antiviral Scripts
18x more Likely to Die (Longer Stays > Staff Friendships > Deaths have more impact on Staff morale!)
Feel free to check the stats...takes ages but plainly reveals our ongoing Crisis & why!

Covid Response is silent...years ago it is...Wot about here'n'now record Hospital crisis...all are asleep!
Record Covid Cost is rising daily as tbb shares this hidden Aging Health crisis!
Oz Hospitals cannot sustain ever growing longer costly waves of Aging premium High Care Patients.
Aging Covid Patients camping in beds with Ambos Ramping / Outpatients / Surgeries Cancelled...
Aug 2023 : Oz Surgery queues Vic 281 days Qld 273 days NSW 224 days...

Ask how does Vic move out ever rising 22wks record premium cost Senior Covid Camp Sites.
Check Out Feds / States...It's nuthin' serious...Ya just keep kidding yerselves & buy fancier wallpaper!
Also consider 0-4 years Covid patients are also presenting above their premium cost demographic.
As said...current Premium Cost Covid Hospital queues just keep rising without Peak cost Staff respite!

Wotz the Plan?
tbb's & Oz duty to share why Govts are hiding our Oz record Covid Health Crisis in plain sight.
In case you were wonderin' why Hospitals are struggling = #1 Premium Covid Boomer Crisis!
Reckon that'd be right up our alley...we got this...just piss on the flames...well durr!

Please don't share that nonsense VJ.

If these people who've just noticed the plane contrails the last few years (have always been there, just depends on the state of the atmosphere if you'll see them or not), had one look at the global sea surface temperature drivers at play, they'd realise slithers of ice crystals can't make much of an impact at all.

There is some dimming from contrails but there's no chemtrail conspiracy crap.

Cloud seeding is done in certain locations to enhance rainfall but it's very inefficent.

OK, delete if you wish. One thing I would like to discuss - and there seems to be debate in the science - what happened to atmospheric temperatures when all flights got grounded in the US on September 11, 2001? Did the temperature up there increase, inferring the planes are keeping things a bit cooler than otherwise? Or is this scientifically not true?

This is the thread for that question.

Craig Tuesday, 16 Jan 2024 at 2:47pm

Yeah that's likely true and relevant to the dimming to some extent in some places with heavy traffic.

Same with the shipping last year cutting the sulphate emissions, this also added to the record temps seen globally last year and was masking the heating.

VJ, I saw a documentary on global dimming a number of years ago (sorry have forgotten it's name) that postulated this to be the case in US when all flights were grounded (except for the odd Saudi) post 911. The veracity of the the doco's information I never confirmed, but an interesting proposition nonetheless

VJ, re the global dimming, wouldn’t there have been a much greater global impact during Covid when there were even fewer international flights than post 9-11? And with flights now returning to pre Covid numbers you should be able to see a reverse impact in atmospheric conditions…. Which hasn’t happened?

Hey goofy yes we did, about 5pm a small amount came over, cooled things down, heavy rain falling straight down. Then it got hot and muggy again into the night, and then the main bit of rain came through about 5am with wakeup for work time. Rain gauge is pretty full, you guys should get this main bit I would think?

EVs love the cold !
With Chicago temperatures sinking below zero, electric vehicle charging stations have become scenes of desperation: depleted batteries, confrontational drivers and lines stretching out onto the street.

“When it’s cold like this, cars aren’t functioning well, chargers aren’t functioning well, and people don’t function so well either,” said Javed Spencer, an Uber driver who said he had done little else in the last three days besides charge his rented Chevy Bolt and worry about being stranded with a dead battery — again.

Mr. Spencer, 27, said he set out on Sunday for a charging station with 30 miles left on his battery. Within minutes, the battery was dead. He had to have the car towed to the station.

“When I finally plugged it in, it wasn’t getting any charge,” he said. Recharging the battery, which usually takes Mr. Spencer an hour, took five hours.

Was doing a bit of research and stumbled across this. Seems apt.

The psychological drivers of misinformation belief and its resistance to correction
Ullrich KH Ecker, Stephan Lewandowsky, John Cook, Philipp Schmid, Lisa K Fazio, Nadia Brashier, Panayiota Kendeou, Emily K Vraga, Michelle A Amazeen
Nature Reviews Psychology 1 (1), 13-29, 2022
Misinformation has been identified as a major contributor to various contentious contemporary events ranging from elections and referenda to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only can belief in misinformation lead to poor judgements and decision-making, it also exerts a lingering influence on people’s reasoning after it has been corrected — an effect known as the continued influence effect. In this Review, we describe the cognitive, social and affective factors that lead people to form or endorse misinformed views, and the psychological barriers to knowledge revision after misinformation has been corrected, including theories of continued influence. We discuss the effectiveness of both pre-emptive (‘prebunking’) and reactive (‘debunking’) interventions to reduce the effects of misinformation, as well as implications for information consumers and practitioners in various areas including journalism, public health, policymaking and education.
Who falls for fake news? The roles of bullshit receptivity, overclaiming, familiarity, and analytic thinking
Gordon Pennycook, David G Rand
Journal of personality 88 (2), 185-200, 2020
Objective
Fake news represents a particularly egregious and direct avenue by which inaccurate beliefs have been propagated via social media. We investigate the psychological profile of individuals who fall prey to fake news.
Method
We recruited 1,606 participants from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk for three online surveys.
Results
The tendency to ascribe profundity to randomly generated sentences—pseudo‐profound bullshit receptivity—correlates positively with perceptions of fake news accuracy, and negatively with the ability to differentiate between fake and real news (media truth discernment). Relatedly, individuals who overclaim their level of knowledge also judge fake news to be more accurate. We also extend previous research indicating that analytic thinking correlates negatively with perceived accuracy by showing that this relationship is not moderated by the presence/absence of the headline’s source (which has no effect on accuracy), or by familiarity with the headlines (which correlates positively with perceived accuracy of fake and real news).
Conclusion
Our results suggest that belief in fake news may be driven, to some extent, by a general tendency to be overly accepting of weak claims. This tendency, which we refer to as reflexive open‐mindedness, may be partly responsible for the prevalence of epistemically suspect beliefs writ large.

If he had a little petrol genny and some fuel he could have got it some charge before it got near flat, and not have to go to the chargers. Perhaps carry the generator and fuel on a little trailer behind the car ;)

Why The Left Is So Angry ... and unhappy
- injustice / oppression is everywhere if you look hard enough
- risk of being ostracised from the group (silence or disagreement on group determined injustices is violence) so you are controlled by the group
-roadblocks to free discussion and thought everywhere (can't discuss that, can't say that - toxic, lateral violence - walk on eggs shells unless the theme is approved group think)
- have to do mental gymnastics to argue and defend viewpoints that are not logical or are just weird
- wake up in the morning depressed cause so much is wrong in the world
- must fight everyday - no pauses in battle, can never win
- jokes and humour are dangerous as someone light be offended - no release valve
- too much emotional triggering and manipulation to keep mental balance and sense of happiness.
- the left teaches that they must hold on tight to injustice and past oppression and pass it on through the generations

The right has some of these aspects but they are elevated on the left.

The comments below the video are interesting...

"Former leftist millennial here, I was angry and depressed for many years and couldn't figure out why. Now I am moderate to conservative depending on the issue, and SO much happier."

I agree that extremism is the issue.

Labels are lazy but have enough truth to be useful shorthand. I remember etarip not liking the word "woke". After thought, I concluded it was a useful label to avoid the alternative - repeating a laundry list of descriptors over and over when discussing some issues.

The tribal groupings are their extremes are real and becoming more so.

Come on VJ, you’re smarter than that. What are you doing posting, or even reading, that shite. The Daily Made-up, The New York Post-truth?

EVs love the cold !
With Chicago temperatures sinking below zero, electric vehicle charging stations have become scenes of desperation: depleted batteries, confrontational drivers and lines stretching out onto the street.

“When it’s cold like this, cars aren’t functioning well, chargers aren’t functioning well, and people don’t function so well either,” said Javed Spencer, an Uber driver who said he had done little else in the last three days besides charge his rented Chevy Bolt and worry about being stranded with a dead battery — again.

Mr. Spencer, 27, said he set out on Sunday for a charging station with 30 miles left on his battery. Within minutes, the battery was dead. He had to have the car towed to the station.

“When I finally plugged it in, it wasn’t getting any charge,” he said. Recharging the battery, which usually takes Mr. Spencer an hour, took five hours.

It’s well known, everywhere except Chicago it seems, that every type of battery performs worse in the cold. You’d be a nut to own and drive one in a Chicago winter.

As for here, a great option, once they install a sufficient number of working chargers everywhere.
