Nothing quite like a crisis to drive change. Be curious if the EV buying surge sticks around if fuel returns to “normal” pricing or stays due to folks wanting to protect against a repeat situation. Not all can buy one now but over the next year or 2…? Folks can plan and save for it.

#Toronto people: 1,000 free portable air conditioners to eligible low-income residents living in multi-unit residential buildings. Eligible residents include seniors (65 years and older) with health-related needs, pregnant individuals and new parents or caregivers with infants.

The next Murderbot is out on May 5 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/platform-d...

Flights booked. Next up hotels once everyone aligns on a plan. Looks like staying in one hotel the whole time is kiboshed.

To the US and back within 6 days. Whee

4 day weekend. I made 3 batches of macarons, cooked dinner for family, made easter nests, prepped a chilli batch, dried pears and plums. Made frozen yoghurt, made chicken for lunches. Made 5 batches of gochujang rissoles and 7 batches of meatballs. Packaged up mince and chicken breast.

Australia has 2 trials going on how to source fertiliser from urine. Betting those trials expand very soon.

"Just buy an EV" is the most privileged response to high gas prices, ever. If you think that is a solution, you've obviously never lived in an apartment building and depended on your 10 year old Corolla to get to your minimum wage job, just to survive.

Asian countries assure Australia ‘normal supply’ of fuel will continue as Albanese focuses on averting shortages

This explains my experience there so perfectly.

Looking like a day of flying, 3 days in the US, and a day back. A whole work week messed up for a 2hr meeting. Might see existing client if theyre free at the same time. How does one handle jetlag on such a short trip?

Autumn price last 2 weeks was $7. Suddenly up over 10%

And they’d be right on all counts

20 mins in on the other bennet sister and im hooked. Poor mary.

Bugger. A client wants us to do the pitch in person in California in a week and a halfs time. I dont feel like i can say that i dont feel safe going there. Esp not when i am wanting to show I’m ready for a promotion and i go above and beyond. Ugh

Thankfully australia has started trialling tech to purify from pee (and some countries in europe). Might need to end trials early and scale up fast to plug any deficits. Its also more environmentally friendly source.

Surely we can manage to make our own urea based fertiliser? We have an easy supply via urine.

Yup. The people on that boat were indeed at breaking point to try that

Should all hospitality venues be required to have written documentation of allergens in their products? If yes, and australian, sign the gov petition www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Oh so now copyright matters.

Imagine if we had onshore genuine recycling already set up…. We have some but not enough.

Sydney playground at centre of asbestos mulch scandal closed again after timber found ‘bleeding black tar-like substance’

Mum: your brothers on statins Me: oh those look to be protective against cancer. Nice perk Mum: but theyre posion Me: its basically just plant sterols Mul: but its poison Me: stop believing misinformation. Huge push of lies out there against statins. They are safe

Watching Campus Chaos four corners investigation. Consultants and contractors cost aus unis $1.8bn a year. No way to tell how much of that on the big 4 despite often having excellent finance/business schools they could be asking to do the work

A lot of 18-20 year olds are gonna be out of a job arent they as employers shift to younger cheaper staff or older more mature staff now they will cost the same?

Gutsy move spain. This war had inflicted pain on every country and its people. All because a certain someone decided to break the rules. Why should we all just accept the high price for their illegal actions with no repercusssions?

SA needs to do free or cheap public transport for all if it wants to reduce fuel consumption. We worked out its still cheaper to drive if commute is <40 mins and free parking or for 2 going to city and parking earlybird or park and ride for free trams. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Excellent announcement by ARENA today expanding electric freight charging infrastructure in Victoria. NewVolt will deliver three open-access, fast‑charging hubs for heavy and medium electric trucks along major freight corridors in Melbourne’s west, south-east and northern suburbs.

Dont want AI shoved down your throat. This is a fun little way to tell the tech bros.

If you werent blocking these already.. may want to consider it (i havent blocked whitehouse because well hope it will be over in 4 yrs and BS will still be here)

This is damned cool. Winning from 4th based on first preference count.

Tasmania's Break O'Day council has the slogan "From the mountains to the sea". There might be rivers in the mountains, don't tell Queensland.

Is it just me or is the premise of this argument based on somehow prople suddenly choosing to buy heaps more fuel than normal and go on extra road trips because its only 50c more expensive instead of 75c @grogsgamut.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Yes all these drivers are doing this. All of them. Tax them all. Business use deductible to proportion.

Here's one way to speak to Bluesky developers who are pretty determined not to listen

The frilled lizard is an iconic Australian reptile because of their utter fearlessness. Their scientific name, Chlamydosaurus kingii, translates to 'King cloaked lizard' & you can see why. They're one of a few modern lizards that can accurately be called bipedal, running upright on hind legs.

No wonder Japan is so miffed we want to charge gas companies for gas ripped from our country. It will affect their profits.

Gov: employers you might need to let employers work from home to conserve fuel. Also gov: dont not go on a road trip for easter. The regions (reported to have worse fuel supply issue) need your support!

There is an american candy store near me that also serves some drinks. They changed hands and now open super late and store is always full of kids. Its $7 for a standard single serve pack of m&ms. How do these kids afford anything in there?

Shift your pets feeding schedule half way this week

Well there will be once people read this and panic buy, fill repeats early

The media reports of high petrol prices do not excuse you from 2 day in office minimum requirement. We have good public transport to the office. A) you have eyes. Surely you have seen the price of petrol as you drive past? Media reports? B) not all employees live near public transport.

After 30 years of decline, tuberculosis cases started rising again in the U.S. post-COVID and globally. One of the biggest lessons from epi history is simple: Diseases don’t disappear all that often, but the infrastructure keeping them at bay does. #IDSky #EpiSky open.substack.com/pub/theedgeo...

Reminder aussie pet parents. Feed pets 30 mins later than normal this week to help with clock change easter sunday.

Mum couldn’t decide between having black forest cake like i made for hubby and a cheesecake so i did a black forest cheesecake. Gluten free

Last night at 10pm there were so many closed servos. Today the first raa discount one we went to decided to shut on weekend. Next only had premium petrol no diesel. Many others we drove past had run out of at least one fuel type. Wont help the shortage as folks will fill up earlier than normal

My girl is 16 now and ive had her since she was about 1. She STILL flinches when she sees a can of drink. Clearly in that 1 year of life she had cans thrown at her. Poor sweet thing. She is so well behaved and sooo clever. Cant believe anyone could do that. Glad she has had a safe life with me

www.news.com.au/technology/m... Reducing fuel tax will reduce inflationary impact so thats smart. Pair with limits on fuel purchases 50L petrol and 100L diesel or similar
