We have a resident blue tongue. Loves the back steps to bask on and hide under.

Totally haha. We hit up the ramen place before the cinema sometimes. It's good. And we now bring earplugs to the hoyts 😆 coz it's fucken loud az.

Haha yeah, the rail duplication followed immediately by the North East link works has been fairly brutal for the outer Hbridgers. But I get more annoyed by frequent track faults and trespassers etc. Can't plan around those and they happen often enough to leave me with trust issues haha.

I follow the E-moto and scooter space closely, as I really want to swap the petrol bike for electric. I think the gap is much bigger for 2 wheelers than cars. But agreed I would love to see their uptake increase for the reasons you mentioned. There are also a lot of barriers to entry (outside of electric) for the ordinary person to consider a 2 wheeler.

Samsies. My current workplace doesn't deserve better, but I am worried it'll become an ingrained habit.

Increased frequency is good, but on the Hurstbridge line I'd take improved reliability.

Technology Connections did a big video on solar misinformation a few weeks back. This was one of his main points. Well worth watching if you haven't.

https://youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM If you haven't watched his stuff before It's probably not the best introduction and the last 30mins pivots to US politics, but the first section is really solid. I like that his argument is almost solely based in economics and engineering, and not the environment. Because those are the areas where naysayers are constantly saying renewables don't stack up. He's directly talking to their economic interests and not trying to pull at their non-existent heart strings.

Welp, wouldn't recommend you Solidteknics, but I love mine. Heavy and similar to looking after cast iron. And not cheap upfront. Hoping they'll outlast me tho.

I did when I travelled to Finland in summer and learnt they dont have public drink fountains in parks. I got so fuggin dehydrated that day 😆

There have been lot's of memes since the social media age ban along the lines of "Now go outside and play! ... Not like that!!!"

Blueberry, fruit loops, funky (Edit: i.e. most Ethiopian naturals 👌)

For reference, this type of cracking is called crazing.
