If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Does anyone have any recommendations for YouTube channels that do long form interviews (up to around 3 hours) with authors and other such notables... Here's my current list that matches your requirements to at least some extent: Eric Weinstein: https://www.youtube.com/user/nobani88/videos Michael M...

Brett corrected himself in his latest podcast, saying it isn't a retrovirus.

I was going off what Bret said here at 7 minutes:

That's why I'm sceptical of a vaccine. It's an RNA retrovirus, and we don't have vaccines for other retroviruses like HIV or the common cold. This would actually be something were it would be great to get ERV's input.

Would it be 5% die and the rest OK? I would bet that the symptoms are a continuum from don't even notice to it kills you quick. There will be a large number of people in the category of "got very sick but just made it" and many of those will have permanent lung and/or heart damage. And many of thos...

Pauline Hanson. The sad thing is that people vote for her.

She was better before Abbott destroyed her, but, yeah, she is dumb. The really sad thing is that she's still better than the Sarah Hanson-Youngs of the Senate.

Sorry to hear about your trouble FT. You picked a good time to fill yourself full of metal, at least. No metal detectors to go through for a while.

Hey the pit is fixed. Couldn't log in for days.

Nup. I support the calls to quarantine Sydney, and I’ve been advocating nuking Melbourne for decades now.

It’s probably too late for us now, though. WuFlu suspected at the very non-Australian Unilodge at the ANU. Plus, two ADF personal known to be carriers flew in to visit Russell.

The Queen prefers to work this way:

Toilet paper, rice, dry pasta, flour, vegetable oil, some canned goods and soaps and hand sanitisers were all unavailable at my usual supermarket.

Yeah. Well we are having a moment here in Sydney. Knives, fist fights, rationing and stripped shelves. Fucking bullshit. This isn’t my country. But Sydney hasn’t been Australian for some time. Canberra is just as bad at the moment, although we're still WuFlu free. I was living in Poland from '93, j...

Admittedly he was Chinese and there appeared to be a language barrier stopping effective communication. All round waste of time. My old family doctor that I had for most of my teens and 20s retired.

SFAIK (and IANAD), he should look to reduce his blood pressure immediately for an aneurism, and without medications as yet, the best way to do that in the short term is lower salt (specifically sodium) intake. Yeah, his brother is a doctor and has already given him all the advice. The trouble, as i...

Best wishes, Lsuoma. Good luck keeping the WuFlu at bay. My cholesterol is a little high. Because of the evidence of a stroke that puts me statistically in the shitter, so no more saturated fats for me, and they may put me on meds as they want a very low number. Sorry to hear about your trouble too....

Don't worry, bushfires, hail stormes, locusts and pandemics. Only 6 more plagues to go before God shuts off the simulation.

Very interesting, particularly the last third, about the problems with peer review and how it has been incredibly corrupted.

Those are Aussie dollars, so only worth 60% of a US dollar.

How do you share meals with your wife and children?

Yes, Minister is a funny documentary.

Sorry to read about your brother, Phil. All the best keeping his memory alive.

It doesn't autoplay for me. I think the Pit just knows who likes butts and who doesn't.

We are still capitulating to them, a century later:

To my knowledge that is the consensus now although there was speculation at one time that SARS was artificially created. There were containment failures for the virus in China, Taiwan, and Singapore (and Australia?) but these were not creations of the labs but were from samples from the likely natu...

I for one welcome Lauren Sourthern's wedding to Dr Murdoch.

I always liked Tourniquet

Craig was a terrible casting choice. I like most of the Bonds prior to his run, particularly the campiness of Moore. The Spy Who Loved Me is probably my favourite.

Like Mrs Robinson?

It's weird not being able to see the sky for weeks and everything looking orange. The smell takes a lot of getting used to as well. Never seen anything like this, not even the 2003 Canberra bushfires. The day before those, my mum and I were canoeing on the lake. The sky was a beautiful blue, and the...

I didn't notice any real difference on keto, except that pooping became really painful.

Yeah I'm in favour of proportional representation, like in New Zealand. Local character is most definitely not flattened, as long as your preferred reps/party can get 5% of the vote. Under 5% and you weed out the fringe loonies while representing the position of a greater proportion of your citizen...

He seemed to become a libertarian awfully quickly and seemed to spout all of the basic libertarian talking points without much evidence that he had though about them or really understood them. I think he is influenced by whoever he is talking to at the time. That's been a common point about Dave fo...

3. I didn't know voting is compulsory in Australia. What an interesting idea. It seems to have resulted in a remarkably high percentage of jokers being sent to Canberra. I am in favour of having a very simple and basic course in civics mandatory in high school, and available online at any time of l...

Congrats, Brive. At least you didn't miss out on the smokey air by being in Canberra for graduation.

My cousin is a professor at UNSW.

Bush should have been impeached for normalising torture.

This is perfect ground for a misanthrope to come out and say they'll just nuke the middle east indiscriminately.

So does anyone have a favourite poem? I'm thinking of something off the beaten track - so probably not Kipling or 'The Ballard of Ned Kelly'. If you have a link to a youtube recital of it, or an alternate downloadable audio file that would be good too. I quoted Dante's Inferno in the comments of th...

This was true? I thought it was parody.

My grandmother came from Danzig. Krakow is still nice though. I love the castle.

I lived in Warsaw for 3 years in the early 90s. I went back to Warsaw in 2012 to visit. I didn't like it as much as I did as a young teenager.

Just finished watching Peter Jackson's They Shall Not Grow Old documentary. Very moving. 'Enjoy' is the wrong word, but it did hold your attention.

Crap. That was meant to be about broccoli man. I hit the wrong reply button apparently.

Broccoli is surprisingly hard to grow. The tiny bunches I get are almost immediately set upon by caterpillars.

Dear god no. Many of the worst takes of this administration have been Ivanka's brainchilds, and less said about Owens the better.

It's polarising because it is very inconvenient for a lot of people if true. The two poles are equally idiotic. It's just as illogical to draw conclusions about a scientific issue from the behaviour of degenerate moralising scolds as it is to think that being a moralising scold is constructive. For...
