@Peter_Fitz He was a doorman at Jamison Street nightclub for a while. Nice bloke.

Dolph Lundgren arrived at Wesley College Sydney Uni at the beginning of 1981. Already had a PhD in Chemistry, from Stockholm Uni, I think.
Had a black belt in karate.
We tried to get him interested in playing for the Wesley rugby team - to no avail.
I found him nice, but dull.
Paul Smallwood@SoutherlyBusker
@julerin8 @Peter_Fitz Yes, he attained a Master of Chemistry at Syd Uni. He later got involved in a punch up with Sylvester Stallone.

thanks for the feedback everyone
I shouldn’t discuss…
+ her 1%
+ my NTEs
+ blood boys
+ shrooms
+ the ultrasound pic
+ 5meo
So what do I talk about?

I’m meeting Kate’s parents for the first time.
Do you think they’ll like me?
I’m flying 17 hrs. She’s from Australia and international travel increases aging. But I really love her so it’s worth the cost.
English
@turnerstcafe @StevoMedia Good luck.
I’ve almost grown to accept it.
English
@StevoMedia If I achieve nothing else as a parent it will be deemed a success if my children don’t use the term ‘verse’ unless referring to a passage of text. This is a hill I will die on.
English
VERSE v VERSUS?
This crime should be an automatic one-month ban.
Players, and even newsreaders, are falling into the trap.
Zero Hanger@zerohanger
"When did 'versus' get desecrated?!" Fair to say @StevoMedia isn't too happy with some of the terminology creeping into the footy vernacular. YOUTUBE >>> zerohanger.com/wzzqz SPOTIFY >>> zerohanger.com/frqcz APPLE >>> zerohanger.com/yajct

@retrobike_c16 @taipan168 Wonder how it would look today if it had been though a few rounds of value engineering…
English
@taipan168 It’s also an example of why obsessing about BCRs is missing the point. It is a selection tool not an exact science
….and why twats who wank on about the ‘sunk cost fallacy’ without really knowing what it is are, well, twats

@WasonJulian @BrianRoemmele It is. This was filmed in Scotland on the Hello Nasty Tour in 98. Should still be on YouTube.
English
Nobody saw this punk rock band with a spin master coming, no body was ready for what was going to happen. Nothing was like this before and nothing was like this since.
If there were smart phones then, they would be fully charged after this energy burst…
It was a bit like this:

@WasonJulian @BrianRoemmele Thats the Beastie Boys concert in Glasgow.. youtube it

@Lady_FanAccount Bet Spicks and Specks wished they never had the ‘what song does the flute in “Down Under” come from?’question.
English
The iconic flute riff of "Down Under" (played by Greg Ham) turned out to be one of the biggest controversies in Australian music history. In 2010, Larrikin Music sued Men At Work on the grounds that they were a literal copy of the children's song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" (1932). The band lost the process and had to pay 5% retroactive royalties from all sales and executions since 1981.

For the hardy souls that descend on foot from Ben Macdui to the Lairig Ghru, it is a 30 minute study in careful foot placement and jars to the joints. Yesterday for Blair Aitken it was little more than a 2 minute descent on beautiful spring snow.

근데 요새 가방 전면에 저런 8자 모양의 끈이 달려있는 게 많은데 저건 도대체 어디 쓰는 거예요? 카라비너를 단다고 해도... 너무 약해서 제대로 달지도 못하겠는데...
이사벨@isabell61004
이번 일본 여행에서 몽벨 가방 사려고 봤는데 끈이 생각보다 좀 그래서 결국 안 삼 브랜드 자체가 등산용인 건 알지만 그 중에서도 이 가방은 데일리보단 등산용이나 러닝에서 적합한 느낌?! 색이 너무 예뻐서 진짜 고민고민하다가 안 샀어요 개인적으론 저 핑크색 크로스백이 예뻤어요 가격에 비해 재질도 튼튼함👍

@keepwriting_and Originally for crampons, because they are sharp and pointy and crap at being put in bags.
English
@Celticwomandown @Potstirrer111 @AvidCommentator They have continued to use it in refining fuels though.
English
This charts the comparison in costs between EV's and popular ICE vehicles per km.
Based on the average rate of fuel consumption from the ABS, you are paying ~6.4c per km just on excise tax and GST on the excise.
ICE drivers continue to contribute far more for the roads.
English
The owner of the BP servo near me owns a Tesla and uses power from the big sign telling people how much their fuel is going to cost to charge up his car.
What a time to be alive.
English
@retrobike_c16 On the upside I see some old ravers and Sunday sesh folks are planning some events at the Greenwood. It’s the late 90’s all over again (ie dead in the day and loud music at night).
English
It is bad & looks very sad in there. And ofc metro has reduced footfall. But the pandemic hammered North Sydney far worse than CBD - absolutely exacerbated by council’s dilatory approach & objection to almost all development
I’d put them into admin for this & the pool. A shower
Sydney YIMBY@SydneyYIMBY
Simple solution to this: build more homes in North Sydney’s CBD. But Council doesn’t want to do it because commercial pays higher rates than residential.
English
@fictillius @disfknguy @astacopsis Yes - we had a dedicated 15 amp socket installed. Haven’t ever used a commercial charger three years in. Probably 90%+ free from the sun.
English
@disfknguy @astacopsis A lot cheaper and more convenient than charging at a DC fast charger. We are talking a couple of hundred bucks to install a dedicated GPO with an RCBO.
English
Every house has an EV charger. We also call them power points.

Victoria going back to back with mushroom murders into dezi freeman must be doing insane traffic for media and true crime podcasters. But you have to ask, why always there.
English
@Snarky_gnome @disco___cat Saw something today that noted Australia has the highest per capita diesel use.
English
@WasonJulian @disco___cat Most trades or rural, I’d presume. Those vehicles tend to be diesel.
Diesel fuel efficiency would also explain some of it.
English
If more people in the city drive EVs then there’s more diesel for you mate. This isn’t hard to understand.
Rob Smith@Ausbobsmit
Hear what Albanese said today. He said nobody would regret buying an electric car. The smug inner city wanker thinks farmers can run the joint on Chinese batteries. We're fucked. I'll tell you what, don't let me come across a Labor voter right now.
English
@peters_malcolm There are plenty of ‘city people’ that do 40km each way commutes. 30 years ago I was doing 100km each way (highly not recommended).
English
I would ask city people consider what choice rural people have when daily commute is 40k both ways.
There is no public transport.
Can they understand the fear people have of no fuel.
Can they understand hoarding?
I buy bulk fuel so it doesn’t affect me but many workers don’t

@richies256 @theoztrucker And last year Toyota were still saying SS in ‘2027-2028’.
English
@WasonJulian @theoztrucker youre out of touch protypes up and going across all manufacturers. I used Toyota as they were reliable quality and usual do what they say. I drive electric byd and toyota hyb rav4 @ work my preference is the rv4 for range when im rural.
I have a petrol wil upgrade with solid S8

These pricks with EV's are as bad as fucking vegans. Seriously, enjoy your little victory now. Don't whinge to us when the thing has fuck all resale in ten years because of the battery just shut the fuck up!
Chris Meder@EVCurveFuturist
They mocked EV range anxiety… now petrol cars have fuel anxiety. In Oz, 1000+ stations ran dry—not from shortage, but panic.😬⛽️ The real risk? A system that collapses when people get nervous. Electrons don’t queue. They just flow. ⚡🔋#Bettrification carexpert.com.au/car-news/panic…
English
@richies256 @theoztrucker I wouldn’t go near a Toyota for EV. For ICE, sure, some of the most consistently reliable products in the world. Toyota (and the Japanese manufacturers in general) in EV seem to have poor charging speeds, poor efficiency, poor systems, when compared with the competition.
