Don Don Don.

Things are soo fucked on the Werribee Line, that V/Line has to run bus replacement trains to Wyndham Vale.

A Powercor line fell onto the tracks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jemena offers incentives for gas, especially in captive markets such as rentals.

There's no incentive for the landlord to install appliances with low operating costs, so why not take advantage of it.

It was always a struggle to get a free room there, so I am a little concerned about the reduction in teaching space.

UniMelb also loves demolishing buildings just before they become heritage listed, to avoid them becoming listed. As was the case with the John Smyth Building.

My weed vape uses induction, and it rips very nicely.

It would be interesting seeing what happens in NSW, given that their gas network has always been in private hands, with very little government involvement.

Yay Culture Wars!

I think the gas ban needs more education. So many people still believe that it's more efficient using a gas heater than reverse cycle.

We're now better off burning the gas in a power plant, and running reverse cycles than using gas heating itself.

I wish I didn't have to rely on gas for heating. I just got a $600 bill for 2 months of ducted heating.

House is a rental, and the air con has no reverse cycle. The ducted heating also recently broke, and being a rental it was just changed over, as the landlord doesn't need to worry about operating costs at all.

The Ace of Spam, The Ace of Spam!

The NatWest / Coutts / Farrage affair is going to be an interesting case study in dealing with trolls.

If the CEO of NatWest simply said No Comment, and let their dealings descend into to GB News dribble, she would still be in her job.

Instead she tried to defend her company, and broke privacy laws in the process, by saying Farrage dropped below their deposit threshold for having an account there. It's kind of like those people that leak military secrets to win a world of tanks forum battle.

How PTV should decide who gets the next bus contract.

The trouble is that in the long term, without additional schemes to encourage construction (or public housing construction), rent controls discourage new dwelling construction.

However it is still a solvable problem. For example Germany subsidises new builds, as long as you do agree to rent controls. Hence housing co-ops and private investors are encouraged to invest in affordable housing.

AMD's Zen2 architecture has fallen victim to speculative execution.

My old team had 5pm stand-up's.

Techbros like Elon are why I like to work boring tech jobs.

It's hidden sexual innuendo. Just like the Tesla lineup, S3XY.

Elon's X logo totally looks like the X Window System's logo.

It's going to be an interesting summer in NSW regardless, as they don't have as much spare generation capacity when compared to other states.

Vales Point power station has just been given a few more years due to the power shortage there.

And its lead tape which is ROHS compliant!
