That list reminds me of when I was gathering materials for my strawbale build, and realised I was ordering 20,000kg *of straw*. It was a rather large truck. 😁

Then that makes little economic sense until every existing roof is covered in panels. Why build a new structure solely to mount panels (and keep some cars cooler) when there is so much existing roof space with basically zero engineering required?

I read their post as meaning "build new roofs over top floor carparks [where they're currently open air or maybe shade sails]". If they meant retrofit over existing solid roofs then sure, go nuts.

One reason why this isn't done more is cost - you have to engineer that free-standing structure to hold the panels, and withstand wind loading in an exposed space.
Compare that to rooftops where you can mostly just bolt down the panels to the existing structure with a couple of aluminium rails.

It's popular with ultra runners for use as an electrolyte - flat is because it's a LOT easier to get down (and keep down) without the carbonation.

Speers on Insiders hammered Chalmers with the same question multiple times. Stuck in that mindset where the Treasurer MUST want to be PM.

"Many people pay their bills a week late. This one was 10 days overdue,"
LOL....nah mate, it was 10 days suspended. It was *3 months and 10 days* overdue.

End result is the same - you can't see each other's posts, regardless of who blocked who, and that flows through to your followers reading your posts.
Obvs we could still see his posts if we went to his profile directly, but it sounds like we're not missing much. :)

I believe how it works is if you block them, no one reading *your* posts can see their stuff - so if you quote them and then block, we just see a "blocked" thing as the quote. 👍

Is there anything stopping us from sending many, many envelopes to their Reply Paid address? They get charged per envelope, and gosh darn it, it seems to cost them more if they're addressed sloppily...

What do you drive, though? 300km of commuting plus a couple of side trips would easily be a tank a week for my aging V8.

It's really quite impressive how much power they apparently wield from such a small number of people. They must be masterful strategists, maybe more people should vote for them. 🤔

JFC it's the CPRS all over again. Waaah, the Greens made us do it by trying to improve legislation after we alone voted it through the house.

Today I learned that Labor has pro-environment MPs, despite their voting record.

In my experience in tech roles, the public service hiring model is broken - they have hiring freezes while subby'ing work at 2-3x the hourly rate. And when they DO have a position the pay is always 5-20% below market rate so it stays empty and the work is subbed out again.

53,900 staff at $20.8b = $385,000 *per person*.
Someone made a lot of money from this, and I'll bet it wasn't the vast majority of those 53,900 people.

On the one hand this is a vitally important national asset, but on the other we should absolutely not own any of it.

I'll admit that my first thought was "I didn't think getting your alternator fixed was all that exciting?", but the correct thought was at least running a credibly close second. :)

$100m only builds 50km of bike path?
Don't get me wrong, lovely new fully separated bike paths with underpasses and bridges and lights and markings are great. But if that costs multiples more than adding the same distance of bike lanes with a few bollards, I know which one I want.
