Hard News: The Messenger God, in reply to Russell Brown,
How many of our communications problems stem from the closing window of time to reflect?
Ummm.....all of them that are further away than face to face chit chat?

What kind of world has Hermes wrought?
A place where we have little time to think about how we could/should reply.
2013: Milliseconds to anywhere in the world
1950: 7 days for Air Mail to London. 7 days back.
1913: Hours to get a telegram to London…..maybe….
1860: 3 months+ for a letter to get to Britain. 3 months+ back.
1769: 3 years to get around the world …..and no one knows…..

Ok. Hands up who hasn’t dressed up for a bad taste party. *
These are all bad taste. Given the history of student pranks, old time capping parades, it IS something that seems to “inspire” those who haven’t (yet) been (usually personally) shocked in their lives to humour themselves in this way.
I was in the US when the Challenger blew up in 1986. When the “Need Another Seven Astronauts” reached me from NZ THE DAY AFTER, there were two responses from the americans. One, utter horror that someone could have invented it and two, falling off the chair in full choking hysterics. There was no middle ground.
Such jokes split the family.
* Yes, me and six others dressed up with the letters “CHALLENGER” spread across our tea shirts and “Who the hell was Christie McAuliffe?" on the back. Bad, bad naughty bad taste.

Premature 400 PPM fail-a-bration
\
Gosh...who would have "predicted" that happening. Wow!! it will head down for the next 6 months.....proof CO2 is dropping.....Sorry. 400ppm will be reached on the next cycle and will probably drop below it for a few cycles and then......whoa..... it will stay above 400pmm and then.......lets head for 500ppm!!

Hmmm...This what the herald says they get with the 12 extra gaming tables:
* An additional 40 gaming tables
* A further 12 gaming tables that can be substituted for automated table game player stations (but not pokie machines)I read that as 1 table = 1 substitute Auto Goodie.
But the agreement says this:
An additional 40 gaming tables (based on current average opportunities to game), together with a further 12 gaming tables with the ability, in respect of each of those 12 gaming tables, to substitute each table for the right to operate 20 fully Automated Table Game Player Stations (but which are not substitutable for Single Terminal Gaming Machines) per table;
(My Bold)
Say what?
Does this say they will get 12 X 20 (240!!) Automated Table Game Stations or have I misread it???

Hard News: Spread the Noise, in reply to Emma Hart,
Can we keep it for ‘exsanguinated’ – the sensation of feeling less optimistic because you’re covered in your own blood?
Bloody Hell?
