Live Nation doing what they do best.
Falls Festival site up for sale.
garyg1412. Hi mate . Hope you’re well.
What else would you expect from a ruthless and selfish company whose whole mantra is to shaft anyone or any business for their ultimate benefit (profit). Scum of the earth, destroying Live Music experiences, globally, especially for the actual performers.
When you’ve got a moment, hit me up. I’ve got something for you.AW

Hats off to Tim Bonython for this gut wrenching interview with a fella who was one of the first civilians to enter the scene of the Lahaina fires last year. Harrowing shit that sits close to home for many at this time of year in oz. Thanks TB.

Kilauea lava has stopped. Putting on a beautiful show last night.

Now the lava is draining back down below. Amazing. Going to have to go see this one day.
Wow.
Just reading that the lava slightly cools, loses gas and becomes heavier so starts to sink back down. When the eruption ceases I’m assuming.
Kilauea is spewing lava again. The sun has just set and it’s putting on an impressive show.

It’s died down again. I wonder whether there will be another flow back.
Just chugging along now. Would have been 15x bigger earlier this afternoon as it was through the night of xmas(Australia).
Prepare to be bored again
I dont mind these videos, my grandparents were right into gem stone collecting and gold prospering even in clubs and had all the equipment, so we use to go bush a lot camping with them.
Its an awesome lifestyle it doesnt matter if you dont find anything just being out there is enough and there is always that feeling (like fishing) of what you might find.
I like that Indo. Happy 2025.
yeh, that was good, so was @indo's Amish Ivan doco, my daughter and I enjoyed that (she found the interviewer guy a little condescending). Below is something I posted in the religion thread last week.. WAAYYY more interesting than US politics.
people must be already on the road, it's happening in 10 days.. Is it getting any news attention on telly or socials?

- 400 million to attend (more than Canada + US populations combined)
- tent city two-thirds the size on Manhattan being built on the flood plain
- 150 000 toilets being installed
- 68 000 lighting poles being erected
- community kitchens being set up to feed 50 000 people at a time
- the only human gathering that will be able to be seen from space
- no human gathering like it exists, even a tenth the size
- (only 2 million Muslims pilgrimage to Mecca each year)
- (the biggest Christian gatherings (Manila) attract 6 million)four HUNDRED million!!! Jan 13th to Feb 26th. Holy hell!! (literally).

^ the Kumbh Mela has held the record for most people gathered (by far!) since the last one in 2013.. which was 120 million people. This 'special one' will be 3 times that! Something to do with Jupiter, and 12 cycles of 12..
estimate = 350,000,000 or 400,000,000 ?
(estimates vary by twice the amount of pilgrims that do the 100km walk from badad (27mil), the next biggest gathering, and by 10 times the amount of catholics that bumped uglies in manila (6mil), the next after that):

"The 2019 [mini] Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, India, attracted more than 200 million Hindus [presumably over the whole event], with 50 million people attending on the festival's most crowded day. The Kumbh Mela is a Hindu pilgrimage that takes place every 12 years in the northern city of Prayagraj, where the Ganges and Yamuna rivers meet."

Yeah i got into watching those opal ones for a while on TV, its hardcore work, and a very boom or bust cycle, surely half of them only break even at best.

A second vent has broken through. If it keeps up after sunset (2pm Qld 3pm NSW VIC) it’ll be beautiful viewing.
For when one interesting things thread isn't enough.
