@JohnGoldman @nomdk1 Killing it! What has been the weekly time commitment John?

@nomdk1 Drop of pace from 12:30 to 9:30 for the same heart rate while expanding distance from 3 miles to 13. 130-135 avg HR the entire time.

Absolutely bonkers HR and HRV adaptation over the last several months. New low on HR of 37.5. And HRV thru the roof. I am a different people physiologically than when we started Project Unreasonable. Wow.

@Batman2242 @Laughatsaltyge1 @wpbencic Who’s Meg are you trying to pull? . You don’t give two hoots about the environment.

@Laughatsaltyge1 @wpbencic And coal fired power stations ?

To the butt dumb EV people Go to rural, any state, and try charging your EV , they use a diesel generator. Without diesel you can’t charge

@latikambourke Would make a good story

Genuinely interested in whether MAGA folk who voted for Trump think they got what they were buying? War in Iran, possible global recession, blowing up NATO, offending every ally esp. those who fought and died in their forever wars while playing nice to Putin and Xi?

@fictillius Beer RUINED

Where do I park my car to have a session at the pub though?

@starman8888 @fictillius @ChrisMinnsMP Novated lease companies getting hammered as well with quotes on Bev

@fictillius @ChrisMinnsMP This is from Car Sauce on YT who act as car buying agents and do thousands of inquiries. Petrol and Diesel have absolutely tanked. EVs up to 39.5% since the start of the war.

It’s also really dumb, the highest uptake of electric vehicles is actually in North Western Sydney - exactly where @ChrisMinnsMP is not extending a metro line that’s desperately needed

Guys can you just close the door and stop arguing in front of the kids please.

@alexbhturnbull Novated lease guys be like 🤑🤑🤑

Wait for March numbers they are going to be quite a treat

@dr_chives @Trev__Says @Peter_Fitz And windmills have been around for centuries but it’s got little to do with today’s turbines or the discussion at hand. 🤷‍♂️

@2000and1 @Trev__Says @Peter_Fitz 1920's llm it

How can one hate batteries? They have been far and away the greatest tech break-through for Australians since forever, freeing people from electricity bills, bolstering our energy independence. 40K last year. 500 K by the end of this year! Crazy to oppose them.

@ChristouSteve @TheConservati19 Go do some work.

@TheConservati19 Wow using swear words over the internet. How big and brave you are.

I have received numerous complaints from Irate residents who are deeply distressed that no Easter celebration messaging has been erected at the David Jones Westfield Parramatta store. Yesterday afternoon I conducted a walk through of David Jones Parramatta located at Westfield Shopping Centre and could not identify any Easter messaging. The apparent segregation of the Christian community is disgraceful and should be called out. Australia is a Western Democratic country with Christianity being identified as the main religion with roughly 43.9% of the population identifying as Christian. This kind of behavior is most unacceptable and needs to be called out. I have written to David Jones asking for a response in regard to this most serious matter. It is the responsibility of community leaders and major businesses to bring people together not sow division with woke policies that exclude the majority of our community in fear of offending minority groups. Anyone wishing to express their concerns can contact David Jones at contactus@davidjones.com.au

@dr_chives @Trev__Says @Peter_Fitz How long have EV’s been around again?

@Trev__Says @Peter_Fitz Cool. So it should be a massive industry then right? Surely you'd make a killing on it... To my knowledge there is one company in Denmark which is trying, to date 1% can be recycled. Ask grok or your favourite LLM because I genuinely want to be shut down on this

@KosSamaras @alexbhturnbull Classic rust belt uprising?

Why the growth of One Nation? My latest Oped in the AFR. Since the GFC, Australia has quietly dismantled the economic foundations of the outer suburbs and the regions. The car industry, gone. Steel, in some parts in administration. Timber towns, hollowed out by policy decisions made by people who never lived near one. Over 200,000 manufacturing jobs lost in seven years. Textiles, clothing, footwear, effectively eliminated. Wholesale trade contracted. Bank branches stripped from regional high streets. Energy-intensive manufacturing crushed by gas prices that tripled after LNG exports began. Health services in decline or now costing more. Being diagnosed with cancer in a big city is traumatic, in the regions, it’s far more severe as you have to battle day trips to a care facility….try doing that with today’s petrol prices. None of this happened to the inner city. It happened to the people who built things, fixed things, and drove things for a living. And the parties that governed through all of it, on both sides, never really had to answer for it. They called it modernisation. They called it the ‘just’ transition, or a move to a service economy where the service is done by one class of worker to enrich the life of another. One Nation didn’t come from nowhere. It came from exactly this. My new piece in the AFR on the long betrayal that made it inevitable. After you read this, you may realise that the votes wont easily come back. Link below.

@AngusTaylorMP Don’t take the libs back down this bullshit culture war pathway. They are just cars. Come up with some policies please.

While families are being smashed at the bowser, Labor’s answer is “buy an EV” instead of backing immediate relief in slashing the fuel excise. 26c a litre isn’t everything, but it’s a start and we’ll keep pushing to make sure you pay less.

Eddie Marsan: "I don't want Reform anywhere near govt... as I grew up in the east end when we had the NF & BNP walking down Bethnal Green road... terrorising our Black & Asian neighbours... & it's a load of old crap." #bbclaurak: & you think that's where we are? EM: 100%

@MichaelAArouet Your chart mate. It’s not comparing apples for apples you nong. You need a better chart. This one’s cooked.

Right, it’s simply breathtaking

@simonahac Speak to the Novated lease guys. They are doing record numbers.

petrol-vs-electric.vercel.app/elitre i’ve heard anecdotes from two people in car sales that EV sales this month have been off the charts. i knocked up this tiny website that partly explains why…

@BrianEastwoodx Regulation has neutered our children. Liberals to blame.

This Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb ring was distributed by Kix cereal in the late 40's, for 15 cents and a mail-in box top. It was actually a spinthariscope containing radioactive Polonium-210 (one of the most toxic substances out there). A child would take the toy into a pitch-black room, remove the tail cap from the 'bomb', and look through a tiny lens to see flashes of light from the Polonium-210 atoms decaying into Lead-206.

Oh he’s also the minister for defence and the foreign minister. Any others?

@Oscarthefarmer Technical term for “oh sh1t! !” 🤣

@2000and1 Destruction is not the wording I'd use!

If you have a limited supply... and we do now! then reduction of price will increase demand against that scarce supply. Yah run out sooner. Consumers and non essential industries gonna have to cop it sweet sorry.
