Beautiful warm winters day. Shorts and shirt in the lovely sunshine on a lazy Sunday.

Putin has been severely weakened and Prigozhin seems to have bitten off more than he wants to chew. Moscow was in reach and he turns around and agrees to exile. My theory is he reached out to several key people to see if he could indeed orchestrate a coup and got no support. It's really strange how he was marching unopposed and even had the sympathy of many troops and civvies, and all of a sudden announced withdrawal and exile. Neither man looks to be in a good position now. I can't see how Prigozhin survives unless Putin has agreed to "retire" Shoigu and Gerasimov in the near term. Maybe as part of a "night of the long knives" for his inner circle???? If not, how Prigozhin survives is a mystery.

Fuck no. If a free ticket with a million dollars attached was offered, it's still a solid no. I'd do space (not the bullshit low earth orbit rubbish) no probs, but fuck no to a spell in one of those coffins.

🤣 The first one wasn't too bad, but that's probably a bit rose coloured glasses as we always wanted to see him in a Hollywood movie.

The original Paul Hogan show was epic. We were allowed to stay up late to watch it on a school night!, it was that good. Very good memories of that.

Is there a trivia thread? The greatest orchestration intro by JPJ and the greatest guitar orchestration outro by JP. What song am I?

This is sick...

🥶

Sunny and warm days enabling t-shirt and shorts (LOVE a warm winter) - but nights are now chilly as fuck. Fire about to go on in the backyard...

What an outstanding set of tits John Paul has. Never noticed them before. Jokes of course, it is fantastic work.

🤣

For the love of all good things, release it already.....

Quite warm for winter. Mornings are almost without chill.

So this song came on the classic oldies station we like to listen to on a lazy Sunday arvo, and I haven't heard it since I was probably 7 or 8 years old. Completely forgot about it. Bo Wagner should be referred to as the John Bonham of the xylophone. What a killer "1 take" solo....

QLD ONCE AGAIN somehow manage to pull it out of the fire with 1 man in the bin with 10mins to go. Another incredible win only marred by the shit refereeing. Klein (ref) thinks blowing the whistle is more fun than the county fair.

Origin game 1 tomorrow night. Mitchel is out for NSW which helps QLD a great deal, but it's still anyones game. Hopefully it will be the same calibre of games as last years series. Game III last year was amongst the best ever. Go the mighty maroons....

The Presence album cover slowly floating across the clip. The whole thing. Unreal.

Quality.

That's just great to see.

Hi mate.... Just as easy as it is for those who live in those areas to not appreciate an outside view. That doesn't necessarily mean the fact they fill that void is "a good thing" in and of itself. There is a much more important question there. No one has come up with solutions. Measures that are in the interests of national security, human rights, and generally "trying to do what's best" are not straight forward. We have had really challenging issues with immigration that the left and the right has not dealt with to the dis-satisfaction of the clear majority of people. My assumption is that this is not a unique localised phenomena to Australia (the US, Europe, elsewhere). It's difficult to comprehend just how bad it got. No more democracy. Or at the very least, the very real possibility of no more democracy. An absolute con-man. No it's not. There is and always will be a "right". At least I hope so - in ALL free western democratic nations. It is insane on the right right now. The left for all it's faults is NOT as bad or dangerous, but can definitely rise to be equally insane in ways that matter. I can talk to my parents and in-laws who have incredibly deep and fundamental differences in outlooks because I understand they are coming from their space. My kids don't really agree fundamentally with a lot of what their grand parents might think in the political context, but they have absolutely NO lack of respect or love for them. I don't think it's out of step, it's just every generation and their elders. I really hope the younger generations NEVER lose touch with the wisdom and appreciation of the difference of the older generations - or those generally with different mind sets.

Prigozhin is outright positioning himself as a "tool at the disposal" of those that may instigate a "change" in Russia through his recent commentary about "the people" revolting. It is astounding he is taking such a risk, but at the same time, he knows it is highly likely some kind of change is coming. It may well be that Russia does not survive intact after this but fragments (more likely than not I'd say). Either way, my guess is it will be another muppet at the helm who satisfies the siloviki, facilitated by Prigozhin who will exact his price.

Wanton song with last note held and goes into TSRTS for a knock out 1-2 punch opener followed by OTHAFA. Not too different...

It is unquestionably possible if not right now, in the near future. I imagine where there are two or more sources it would help. Even if there were far better sources on a different night of the tour (same set up and tone etc.) AI could use that information to build something far better. But how how much detail is lost would either be left out, sounding clean but flat maybe?, or some detail is assumed/reconstructed based on "theory"? So the risk is it sounds killer, but is not purely Led Zeppelin. And it might be 99.5% Led Zeppelin, but that's a big difference. But at some point in the future there will be killer quality Zep boots we don't have now I reckon.

So does anyone have any theories as to the delay with a release? Is this how it works?
