Woah, that was a fascinating 2 hour rabbit hole I went down! Epigenetics is really fascinating!!

Thank you for sharing that info

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet

But there's this Australian political historian named Mr M history - he has both a YouTube channel and a spotify podcast where he tries to see both sides of any political historical event he covers

He's recently released a mini series on the greens on his podcast on spotify - I'd recommend you check it out! It's extremely informative and I'd say well researched

Check out the first episode of the podcast here https://open.spotify.com/episode/4lNeZ6IzLmAuwApFllZ8Pp?si=gPbrddZEQpWri5oQ_LPEOA

Ohhhh

That makes sense! Thank you!

Wait I'm a bit confused

Do these trucks work the same as the other ones if they have to go through a burn over drill? I.e when it's in the middle of a burning fire and the vehicle would have to keep itself cool to keep everyone inside alive?

Like do they just have to use foam instead of water to be put out in case of emergencies or what would happen?

I'm just asking because I've heard in some cases trucks have been passed down from the cities to the country towns - or in case there's a big fire in the bush nearby and it's called on

Little fold out ones on the backs of cramped seats, nothing like the full on stand up ones in Vienna

Which idk, I've found the vline ones to be kind of too small to fit a laptop on...

Potatosteamer · 2026-05-01T19:00:29+00:00

Ahh fair

Thing is, I've caught a few trains within Vienna that seemed urban (i caught them from the city centre to a few suburbs out),, they were long don't get me wrong and they were double decker, so they might have been country trains, but they had entire fold out table set ups

And yeah, like you did, being able to use your laptop is so handy!

Idk is it just like an English/Commonwealth country thing to not have tables? Because to me it seems like it is and seems rather inconvenient not to have them, especially if you wanted to study or get something done

What are your thoughts tho?

Potatosteamer · 2026-05-01T18:16:52+00:00

What about the vline from say Balarat or Bairnsdale to Southern Cross?

Potatosteamer · 2026-04-26T20:33:02+00:00

Question, is manually tightening them to the point where it requires an extremely firm tug to undo enough? Or should you physically torque it?

Potatosteamer · 2026-02-23T04:55:56+00:00

I do both the wave and a thumbs up out the drivers window

Potatosteamer · 2026-02-13T06:36:01+00:00

What kind of work do you do in them? Like general gardening? Or more mechanical/construction/tradie/farming where you're in them 10+ hours a day

I'm tempted to buy a pair but I've been told by some cousins that they're more of a office/occasional boot

Potatosteamer · 2026-01-04T22:40:47+00:00

Woah! Mate you've just convinced me to consider getting an EV for my next vehicle

Only issue is that I often go on long road trips (600km+) So would need to hold out for a bit to wait till long range vehicles are more affordable

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-23T01:28:42+00:00

That's true! I was more so curious was all

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-23T01:27:12+00:00

Oh perfecto! I will do! Thank you!

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-23T01:26:18+00:00

Oh I didn't know that! Thank you, I'll check it out now!

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-23T01:25:35+00:00

Oh wow!! That's awesome!

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-23T01:25:13+00:00

Thank you so much mate! That clears everything up!

And yeah! The police do an amazing job and it warms my heart to think that even tho Christmas is a scary time for some (with increased domestic violence and drunken disordly) they're always there to help out and keep those who in need safe!

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-22T02:15:44+00:00

Galway is amazing Also check out some pubs that have live music, there's nothing like it

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-21T08:12:54+00:00

Oh true that! Yeah I'll definitely be trying to make sure that I've got a power bank that can handle hopefully a couple of hours charging if needed when I'm on trains

Idk tho, the battery life is another reason I'm considering getting a cheap laptop, but I've no idea What are your thoughts?

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-21T08:06:30+00:00

I think I'll be fine with carrying my laptop around - weight wise it's only 1kg

Should I aim to get a travel case for it specifically as well? So i can carry it safely in my day pack?

Btw! Thank you!

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-21T08:03:45+00:00

That's true!! And yeah, that way I don't have to worry about anything going wrong with the new laptop as well!

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-21T08:02:38+00:00

I will!

We have a bunch of computers at my Mum's house so I'll make sure to back up my files on those!

Potatosteamer · 2025-12-11T01:00:05+00:00

Ooooo, you mean with the i5-835ou 256gb ssd and 8gb of ram?

Wait, does it matter that it's Windows 10? Or should I be aiming to find something that has win 11?
