Oh FFS Ray! It would make MORE sense to ship in 10 000 Whirlpool front-loaders? And does this contribute in ANY meaningful way to the perception of The Greens in Oz?
I know you just write sh*t to create a stir (sometimes), but I think Rumcajs is pretty right with coming across as a loon on line.
Your threads on 4x4 offroad Nav and tech stuff really are great; thoughtful, well researched and full of info. Some of the IT tech suff goes too far (again) with your obvious bias against Apple and Linux products (I don't even know what that IS!?!) diluting good info.
I assume in relation to sending overly simple aid, you'd object to the birthing packs that the CWA have been sending to PNG for years and are now sending to East Timor (a ground sheet, a clean sheet, finger nail brush, soap, string for tying off umbilical cord and pad) keep the savages savage also? Bloody Greenie CWA!
And wasn't that 'Cobb Stove' that's now for sale designed to cook a meal with minimal combustible material efficiently for use in Africa?
I'd say that the birthing packs and other such ideas provide realistic help that's more realistic in terms of results than waiting for expensive infrastructure.
