@gayboi4life09 @Peter_Fitz Full election results showing the votes for each and every candidate in every electoral division are published on the AEC website. results.aec.gov.au/27966/Website/…

@Peter_Fitz Pretty sure that's illegal bro. Whoeva gave that info broke the law too, let me ponder on this

Ben, I checked yr Fed election results. Looks like you, your Mum & your sisters all voted for you. I'd go again. See if you can pull in Uncle Bob & Aunt Martha. Let no opportunity go begging. Start at Christmas lunch, and gravely inform them that you have decided to run again.

@ausbtcclub @tomalgie @simonahac @liamlibertarian @GreenTyler27 @Ingot54 @LibertariansAus @SenatorAntic @LiberalAus @Matt_Camenzuli @carri_cee @MRobertsQLD I fail to see how it can return me more than the costs involved. Here's our daily excess energy over last 12 months.

@_AlexSimmons_ @tomalgie @simonahac @liamlibertarian @GreenTyler27 @Ingot54 @LibertariansAus @SenatorAntic @LiberalAus @Matt_Camenzuli @carri_cee @MRobertsQLD If it's too hot = excess energy to mine. It's not rocket algebra

Gross. Stack bitcoin keys 🔐 offline and vote 🗳️ @LibertariansAus 🇦🇺🧡🫡

@tomalgie @simonahac @ausbtcclub @liamlibertarian @GreenTyler27 @Ingot54 @LibertariansAus @SenatorAntic @LiberalAus @Matt_Camenzuli @carri_cee @MRobertsQLD During the time of year when solar PV is in excess the last thing we need is heat.

@simonahac @ausbtcclub @liamlibertarian @GreenTyler27 @Ingot54 @LibertariansAus @SenatorAntic @LiberalAus @Matt_Camenzuli @carri_cee @MRobertsQLD My additional two cents here @simonahac, highly intermittent energy such as solar is hard to make the business case work. I have used waste heat from my machines for heating. So I earn BTC using my own solar and get an extra benefit in heat.

@Peter_Fitz What do you mean "if"? It's been a cesspit for a long time. I'll be out soon.

A lot of people seem to be taking that view. I'll see how I go. If it turns into a cesspit, I guess I'll have to, too.

@electricfuture5 Not unless they include OCPP, which at least the Ampol unit has.

save your money buy this - shop.tesla.com/en_au/product/…

How the fuck is this a deal? It’s twice the price of a Tesla wall charger which is far better. Total rip off @AmpolAustralia

@SawyerMerritt Next up, Tesla adds the amazing technology of windscreens to their cars. World wide release, Tesla fanbots go ape. /s Hullaballoo over adding stuff that's been normal in other cars for a long time is just annoying.

NEWS: Tesla will soon roll out a new blind spot warning feature where if you try to open a door while an approaching object is detected in your blind spot (e.g., a cyclist or other vehicle), the blind spot warning light will flash, an audio warning will sound, and the door will not open on the first press of the bottom. Press the button again to override the warning. Via @NotATeslaApp: notateslaapp.com/news/2358/a-lo…

@HilkkaKontro @GavinAtkinsUK So what does? And how do you know whether it does a better job?

@_AlexSimmons_ @GavinAtkinsUK As I said, TSS (or any other metric that combines time and intensity) works okay in most applied scenarios. Volume is the greatest predictor of gains. But TSS does not work well if I wanted to model the "metabolic stress score" of various work-matched HIIT sessions in the lab.

TSS is a poor training load metric to quantify load in the severe domain. It considers intensity (i.e., distance from FTP), but not the duration the intensity is sustained for. TSS rewards you for taking breaks within your bout of severe exercise. Example: 20min at 105% FTP.

@HilkkaKontro @GavinAtkinsUK What do you propose as an accurate and practical alternative?

@_AlexSimmons_ @GavinAtkinsUK In practice it is a trivial issue. TSS, TRIMP, sRPE will all work reasonably well. This post was more about the theoretical basis of how to model momentary stress accurately.

@GavinAtkinsUK @HilkkaKontro We went through all this 20 years ago! Seems like yesterday Gav. "RATSS", recovery augmented TSS. In context of how TSS is usefully applied, it's a trivial issue.

@HilkkaKontro Yes TSS is imperfect - well known. Understand the model’s short comings when analysing data.

@StuartKelly8 @sydney_ev @techAU It's shown on Tesla's website as an "in development" site in Coolac, NSW. Colac in VIC already has a 3 x 250 kW station all-access supercharger.

A 12 bay #Tesla Supercharger site coming to Coolac in Victoria. #EV #ausev Tesla to build 12-bay Supercharger under a solar array, connected to a Megapack in Coolac, NSW techau.com.au/tesla-to-build… via @techAU

@EgliseHomme @simonahac Yes, and it involves electrification of as much as possible. A massive amount of fossil energy is used just to make and move fossil energy, plus the energy losses when combusting are huge.

@simonahac Does anybody consider reducing demand for energy? The debate all seems to be about the type of supply. Any supply system, including renewables, uses natural resources. I'm sorry, but we haven't much of those left.

i was on a panel last week with the topic: "is it too late for #nuclear in australia?" the question should be: "is nuclear too late for australia?" the answer is that nuclear is too late for our *current* energy transition — but maybe the sector will be ready for the next🤷‍♂️

@evsmiles @techAU I get that but the post opened with "If money was no object."

If money was no object..

@techAU If money was no object then it would be a Sigenergy system. Craps all over Tesla. Way more modular and scalable, 3-phase, 0 ms UPS, 25 kW DC EV charger, better PV capability.

@sydney_ev Shoulda taken a left turn at Albuquerque.

#solar panels kill rabbits now?

@sydney_ev Last month at Chatswood, per kWh, I paid 70c, at Taree & Thrumster 78c (but unable to charge at Thrumster because no Telstra phone signal) and Raymond Terrace 91c. That's with Tesla membership discounts. NRMA Thrumster was 59c, a miracle it worked, usually dead.

I have not used a DC fast charger outside of the #Tesla network now for almost a year, apparently the pricing for other networks has increased significantly, last time i used the supercharger, it was considered the most expensive by a decent margin, from what i can see now, its the cheapest! #ev

@Peter_Fitz Some may be both hanged and hung ;)

Yes. And, strangely, it is word I have always got wrong. I think I have been misusing it since I must have learnt it wrong when I was five years old. But "hanged" still sounds wrong to me, even if I know it is right!

@sydney_ev Range anxiety is and has been a real thing for us because of unreliable regional/rural charging networks. It's no fun rocking up to find yet another dead charger. Evie, NRMA, Chargefox have woeful uptime. If a planned route does not have Tesla superchargers then I do get anxious.

If its only for #EV drivers with Range anxiety, it might not get used much, if ever.. Range Anxiety is something non Ev #drivers think EV drivers have. Victorian towns install EV chargers to lure in drivers experiencing ‘range anxiety’ theage.com.au/national/victo…

@sydney_ev @Engineers2Rule + extraction and transport and distribution at each stage of fuel production from well to car. I think including all energy demands up the chain would be more apples with apples. I'd expect ICEV to be considerably worse.

@Engineers2Rule @_AlexSimmons_ it takes 4Kwh of electricity to refine 1 ltr of Oil to petrol. that is never factored into oil product fuel consumption either.

Highlighting the inefficiency of #Petrol and #diesel cars, a #hummer EV, uses LESS energy to go 100Km, than a #Toyota Prius. the #Prius uses 4.3L/100Km, = 41.28Kwh per 100, Hummer #EV uses 35.31 Kwh per 100km.
