@matoxley When they show the battle for 15th and focus on the rider in last place on the live feed which never happens, you know itโs a shocker. #MotoGP
@PaulineHansonOz Pauline. Iโd recommend reading the book โHow big things get done.โ Hereโs a short summary of what the book says on nuclear power stations.
@matoxley@denkmit There is also about 4045 trees in Victoria Park according to Adelaide Park Lands data. So the percentage of trees to come down is between 1% to 4% of existing trees in the covered part representing 1% of the total Adelaide parklands.
@matoxley@denkmit Adelaide resident and MotoGP fan here. This post needs some perspective. There is ~650Ha of parklands surrounding the city. Victoria park represents 10% of that. The total tree coverage in Vic Park equals about 1% of the total available parklands for Adelaidens.
Guys, @joelkelso66 got punted at Scarperia by Esteban (I think). Forced almost off track which dropped him from 6th to 11th and well off the lead group of 6 with 3 laps to go. @birtymotogp@LouisSuddaby23
@matoxley Hey Mat, as an Adelaidean, I just thought Iโd point out that opinion is actually mixed on the golf course trees. Itโs just that there is a small anti group making a loud noise about it. There are alot of people that are for the development. Also, trees are to be replanted at 3:1
There are moments in war that pierce through the abstractions of strategy and power. The sinking of the Iranian warship Dena in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean is one such moment. A ship far from its home waters, sailors far from their families, suddenly consigned to the deep, dark silence of the sea. Whatever the legality of war, the image is haunting: young men swallowed by an ocean that knows nothing of geopolitics.
The Indian Ocean has always been, for me, a space of memory, trade, music, and human exchange โ not a graveyard of sailors lost to distant rivalries. That an Iranian vessel returning from naval exercises could meet such a fate so far from its shores feels like something from another age, almost like a War of the Worlds moment where the machinery of war intrudes upon the human world with brutal indifference.
One cannot help but think of the families waiting for news that will never come, of the letters unwritten, of lives ended beneath cold waters thousands of miles from home. Strategy may justify such acts. Law may permit them. But the ocean keeps its own counsel. It reminds us that every war, however rationalised, leaves behind human sorrow in its wake.
The question lingers uneasily: for what purpose were these lives lost in the depths of a faraway sea?

@denkmit Ah ok. Thats the junior school. Senior school is a couple of blocks away. Even still - main issue will be getting from east side into the city. Thereโs other ways around. Adl local here
