@Abbysol I'd like to think you're not evil too. XD

So how have you been? Fixed your power issues yet?

Got some kangaroos in a treadmill I take it? Lol

Working on it, currently on the road, just picked up a new flail mower and a demountable site shed

I wouldve assumed emus on a treadmill rather than kangaroos. They run, whereas kangaroos hop

and emus can run pretty quick

Oh? On the road? Still on batteries then?

@Aeon Zealot Fair point, lol

Yeah, but we did get a new generator so things a little smoother now

Also welcome to all the new people I haven’t welcomed yet!

Oh? Solar, I assume?

Or emus? XD

Emus

Lol

It’s a petrol engine, Honda Generator with an output of about 4.5kw

Neat. That's not bad.

Enough to run a kettle, lol

Oh, that bad?

Or is that good? lol

Well the old one was 3kw and we could run the kettle but everything else needed to be turned off, lol

Oh, I see. So this one can run the kettle too?

I'm imagining this is some kind of Mad Max situation. Lol

How could you imagine anything else

@Abbysol To be honest - that was literally the setup you had before, so I don't have to imagine anything. XD

I'll just imagine you fighting spiky dudes for their petrol to make up. Lol

I mean I do have a Blue Heeler so I am at least 80% of the way there

But do you have a super charger that pokes through the bonnet of your car? That's what I want to know. XD

Hey, might be controversial - but what do people think of Return of the King's site?

I think it might make a good source of debate topics.

It's bollocks because it assumes patriarchy exists. It doesn't.

I think it's sarcastic.

It's return of kings so idk about that.

Personally I'm not of the mind that we should be getting involved in gender tribalism anyway.

I am not comfortable with pieces that try to rank up men and women. It's kinda antithetical to what we stand for.

In fact, it's a very common feminist tactic.

You can't just twist the meaning of patriarchy into something else. A patriarchy never existed. If you're going to try and present a more accurate worldview, don't start off by calling it a bloody patriarchy. Playing into feminist dogma is an idiotic tactic.

And let's face it- reality TV shows like that are *garbage* and I highly doubt their scientific value or accuracy in any respect

That's certainly a very valid point. And I did have a good laugh at the thesis that reality TV can tell us much of anything. I don't know about Surviver, but most of those shows are at least partly staged - if not totally staged. Even the ones that aren't tend towards being cut in such a way that they may as well be staged.

We also don't know who these people they picked are. It could be they got rich girls and a bunch of survival enthusiasts.
