  1. 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.

    Yep, let 'em all in - the cartels, fentanyl, drug traffickers, human traffickers, sex slaves, child slaves, gangs, potential terrorists, etc.  Give 'em money, free housing, free medical care, phones, whatever they need.  The so-called sanctuary cities - NYC, Chicago, etc. are loving it, they can't wait for even more of them to flood their crime and poverty infested neighborhoods.  :wacko:

    Yep, let 'em all in

    Fuck no. Who says that? NO ONE EVER.

    the cartels, fentanyl, drug traffickers, human traffickers

    Fuck no. Who says that? that would be insane.

    sex slaves, child slaves,

    Fuck yes. Rescue anyone you can. Sex slaves and/or child slaves - you would not want to help those poor souls????

    gangs, potential terrorists, etc.

    Fuck no. Who says that? NO ONE EVER.

     

    I'm not saying there is not a problem cryingbluerain.

    This Country really is a joke. A Politician ( who I can't be arsed to remember) said, a person said to them:

    "It's terrible, I can't open the windows in my children's bedroom for them to be poisoned by (ahem) the smell of Weed"

    Well it's OK then for them to be poisoned by the smell of car fumes, which contain Carbon Monoxide? 

    Christ that's weak. There is simply no good reason for the prohibition of weed given alcohol and gambling, which cause MUCH more harm, are encouraged through non-stop advertising mostly aimed at young men. Not to mention cannabis has proven medical value.

    I really wish journo's would hold these clowns to their hypocrisy and tear shreds off them.

    Compromise is a dirty word and it's now my way or scorched earth aftermath. 

    Yes, but it is not really a level playing field. I don't think that kind of mentality is representative of left or right that are willing to actually defend positions from a respectful position. People who pull you to the fringe should NOT be trusted. Also, don't trust the view you hold to be sacrosanct. Appreciate your position, but question it. (not sayin' you Strider, just thinking out loud.)

    Having said that, go the left. For all the horrors that it presents, it is FAR LESS a threat (currently) than the right.

    But moderate. for fucks sake......

  5. The QLD Government here have finally acknowledged that with the tens of thousands of people with prescriptions for medical cannabis they need to actually review and update the drug driving laws which, while if you have a trace of medication in your system that is known to impair driving, as long as you state you are not currently impaired as the time you took it is past the effects, that's ok - unless it is medical cannabis in which case you get charged. The patent hypocrisy and double standard is enraging. Only tempered by the fact that some are even worse off with no medical cannabis allowance (shout out Chilli....). How someone hasn't already successfully challenged this in court is beyond me. It is patently unjust.

    It's going to take a fucking year. Fucks sake.

  6. How often does you "favourite" Zep song change? Currently No quarter has my full attention and has done so for a month or two, but it always changes. I'm wondering how often others adjust their favourites.

    NQ live (TSRTS) lasted years as #1 when I was a kid.

    The more you learn: Apparently my neighborhood has armadillos & I only found out because a dead one was lying in the road being lunch for a bunch of vultures...  :wacko:

    Similarly, while exploring some local bike paths and bushland, we found a hidden little viewing area where a sign proclaimed a platypus lives in the little creek/pond there. Couldn't believe it. We are only ~35mins from Brisbane itself and there is a damn platypus habitat tucked away...

    Government benefits from this design. Ignorant, unarmed citizens are powerless citizens. 

    If Government is by the people, for the people, as I believe it still is in the US, then no, it (Government) does not benefit by self definition.

    Absolutely "Government" is corrupt. But only, and I really do mean only, because the system/structure allows for it and is beyond structural reform. The fact you cannot structurally reform the machinations of THE world power is both perfect and fucked. Don't let it be fucked up or changed - and at the same time, it is beyond critical need to reform.

    While western liberal democracies continue to actively self-reform and deal with corruption as best they can - they improve. I'm no longer convinced this is the narrative of the US - but fully realise the progress made by the greatest nation (still) to succeed. But the current insanity of US politics is off the scale.

    Keeping your citizens powerless (which I read equally as keeping them stupid), is antithetical to development/growth. Only suitable for those who profit from and/or advance if the status quo remains.

    So I still reckon this as a "design" doesn't quite fit with a well functioning multi-party liberal democracy - but that's still a very early project so I can only laugh and enjoy.....

    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. These Gen Zs have it in spades.

     

    I don't think that is a gen z - or any other generation specific issue - I think ALL generations have/had it in spades, but maybe it is more so now. It is that certain stage of youth where you suddenly know more than your elders/parents and in place of entertaining other views or advice they simply dig in. It's interesting to observe this from #1 son. He's not too bad, very open minded, but some of the gems he comes out with are hilarious (without meaning to be).

    Example, he had brake issues with his car this week and said he was going to tell the mechanic what he thinks it is after googling. 🤣 I couldn't talk him down from that, but had a good laugh at him.

  10. I really appreciate the thought and effort put into the ANZAC day NRL match by the NRL and broadcaster. A beautiful Sydney day and a cracking good game of footy. A very respectful tribute to the occasion.

    but hell, wood is wood

    Not really, a really good hardwood (redgum, beech, etc.) can be a LOT hotter and a cleaner/longer burn (less ash). I learnt a little about this from charcoal I source for the Weber BBQ. It is amazing how different woods have very different characteristics - even when in lump charcoal form. It's apples and oranges.

    But yeah, wood is wood, and you have a mad pile. 🙂

    The demographic projections for America make me long for the sweet release of death.

    Fuck you make me laugh Steve. What a way with words.

    Don't give up just yet old son, 'tis an interesting world we inhabit. Find the good, don't focus on the bad. You'll live longer (which might not be your goal admittedly 🤣).
