There seems to be few topics that generate as much heat. Perhaps Angela retains residual guilt about not breastfeeding her brood when contemplating someone who might. Not judging, but lactational amenorrhea makes it extremely unlikely that one could have 7 children in 10.5 years while breastfeeding (unless there were some multiples in there), so I'm guessing AngShan was quick to switch to formula. <br /><br />But Occam says you're probably right, just a vast fuckwit.FrankDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-31444990418952164982018-04-29T21:22:11.817+10:002018-04-29T21:22:11.817+10:00Yes, quite, however the Earth's (planetary) gr...Yes, quite, however the Earth's (planetary) gravitational constant is 9.8m/s^2 that being the acceleration experienced by a falling body (ignoring air resistance). Every planet has its own constant that is primarily dependent on the planetary mass.<br /><br />And since I was referring to what planet she lives on, that provided sufficient context. Not that I would expect her to understand any of it.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-63444271305961479542018-04-29T20:10:41.001+10:002018-04-29T20:10:41.001+10:006.674 x 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 is the universal gravita...6.674 x 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 is the universal gravitational constant.

Does she ever contemplate that if a pair of looney-tunes such as Malfeasance and Barnables can do it (or at least pretend to), then a basically sensible and intelligent woman such as Ardern can manage it comfortably.<br /><br />In a mostly peaceful, relatively isolated place like NZ, and with a parliament full of fairly experienced politicians of both genders and an established public service and military, it's unlikely that there will be a constant stream of emergencies that Ardern must fix immediately (yes, there could be another major earthquake or two, but Jacinta doesn't actually go and dig for possible survivors in person - nor would, or did, any male PM).<br /><br />Oh, and I do just love the way Angela was able to flick-pass into oblivion Benazir Bhutto who successfully mothered a child while Pakistan's PM (an office she held twice). An accomplishment for which Bhutto was eventually assassinated, a fate unlikely to befall Ms Ardern.<br /><br />But above all else, I am amused by Angela's proposition that "<i>Most women just have jobs that they do for money ... standing up in a department store all day ... in front of unruly schoolchildren ... or if they are lucky they may work in an office somewhere</i>." What, none "<i>behind the machine</i>" any more ? Who makes all the clothes these days ?<br /><br />Oh yeah, Angela: so there's basically no women medicos, lawyers, academics, politicians, farmers ... just "...<i>the glamorous career girl in the mould of something from </i>Suits or Sex and the City<i> is elusive or non-existent</i>".<br /><br />So, just no women journalists, writers, artists, musicians or anything else either, eh Angela. Tell me again, what is the value of the gravitational constant on the planet you live on ?GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
