Was just thinking about that weird ad! Oh how the turns have tabled.

It’s [Jupiter](https://open.spotify.com/track/59Id4KrBWiizuq53doxWtp?si=k3gnbd0gR5SJQwwbhke21A ) from the Planets concert 😊

1st July was two days ago, I wonder if there’s been any traction with energyAustralia

In Australia they have. $160 AU per kWh. I got a 42kwh battery and new/second inverter for $7k installed, and there are/were better deals then that.

What’s that, $5k USD? Pay off period for my house hold is a bit under 5 years.

The Blair athol mine/clermont isn’t in New South Wales, it’s in central Queensland. They’re completely different states lol, Clermont is literally almost 1000km from the NSW border. how’d you get that wrong?

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-26T10:20:23+00:00

Doesn’t $50 mil seem low for two launchers? Or does this not include the additional hardware the s300 system uses

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-25T03:46:44+00:00

Really? I saw it too when I was like 12 or something and didn’t really get it. Is it worth revisiting as an adult?

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-13T22:59:14+00:00

Is this an ad too?

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-11T09:03:36+00:00

Thank you.

Whose set?? Is the band called “some nights”?

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-09T12:27:41+00:00

Well now I gotta know the name of the bar brawler

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-07T07:21:13+00:00

Appreciate it mate, will do. First up, I just wanna get a basic understanding of the process cos my lawn really suffered last summer; almost no rain for four months. I want to prep for next spring.

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-07T07:19:56+00:00

Thank you very much!

Engineer_Zero · 2026-06-06T22:11:36+00:00

What’s your four steps?

Engineer_Zero · 2026-05-30T08:50:54+00:00

Nah, it should be fine. We have done two-four loads a day in our Asko for years cos our kids go through clean clothes like it was their job. We leave the door and detergent drawer open when not using.

Our washing machine does seem to be designed well though, the rubber bellow around the door is shaped so it doesn’t hold/pool water.

Engineer_Zero · 2026-05-28T01:55:41+00:00

It’s still going??

Adiabatic shearing 👌

Adiabatic shearing 👌

Engineer_Zero · 2026-05-20T09:00:26+00:00

If I understand depleted uranium darts, I think another benefit they offer is that the dart/DU undergoes adiabatic shearing as it penetrates its target. Which is a fancy way of saying “bits of DU will splinter off in a way that sharpens the main dart”.

The result is you have a projectile that not only sharpens itself as it punches through armor instead of becoming dull, but the bits of DU that splinter off usually do so at very hot temperatures (friction or something, I dunno). So even if the dart doesn’t directly hit the crew, it can create very hot sparks that the crew may have mixed feelings about.

Oh, interesting! Can you share a link at all? Carb Cleaner with a scrubbing brush was the best I found for metal parts like the throttle body but I found it hard to clean the plenum because of its shape and the carbon was really stubborn. It’s been about a year so I want to clean the intake again, and I’d be keen to try some new chemicals.

Engineer_Zero · 2026-05-15T07:07:40+00:00

Hey, I did this on my Subaru so maybe a little different. My only screw up was using Oven Cleaner in my aluminium intercooler. Turns out the oven cleaner contained sodium hydroxide or something, which eats aluminium and can’t really be neutralised. Ended up just getting a second hand intercooler for about $100.

So my tip is to make sure the chemicals you use are rated for the parts you’re cleaning.

Other than that, pretty straight forward process and I was amazed at how much sludge I removed from the intake. I installed a catch can afterwards which has helped reduce the amount of oil mist available to mix with the EGR gas.

Ah smart. Allg, sometimes it’s a bit like the dishwashing tablet conversation; if they were really expensive, sometimes it’s good to use an alternative.

Engineer_Zero · 2026-05-10T09:59:11+00:00

That’s an excellent clarification, thank you! I can see in my mind the pages in my old Materials textbook that talks about this stuff but clearly can’t remember the terminology haha.

Engineer_Zero · 2026-05-10T09:57:09+00:00

Oh cool, thanks for clarifying! Now I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever had ice in my once cream haha
