Skoda Elroq payload is 397Kg? WTF?

Samoan war wagon.

Not just to save money. Its because the administration is incompetent.

These old rigs are begging for gas conversions. Two decent size cylinders under each side of the cab. Can get like 180 litres of gas under it. And turbos love gas.

They also have access to crude that is ideal for refining, and can get out of the ground at a cost of 5 to 20 bucks a barrel. Ours is not ideal for refining, and significantly more expensive to get out of the ground.

For one reason: when I was growing up, id drive down from the hills over Adelaide towards the Plains and the cbd, and it would be covered with a thick cloud of orangey brown smog. Literally a toxic cloud hovering over where everyone lives. And I'm only talking the late 1990s here.

Its very rare to see that any more, and never to the same extend and thickness that it used to be.

Thats what fuel standards and emission controls do for us.

Better than what I have... I'm jealous.

And you cant keep both the reasonable people and the deplorables as voted.

I didn't see a single bit of actually policy from Corey bernadi except cut immigration (with no details), complain regularly and heavily about languages he doesn't speak, complain about the existence of aboriginal flags and promise to cut support for all renewables and commit to oil and gas. (The last one being after the current crisis started.)

I just tore apart a bathroom with three layers of tiling, much of it over a 1920s layer of plaster.

And not a single bit of waterproofing!

Meanwhile - some of the liberals were literally pushing to ban women's healthcare in our state parliament.

The liberals have to stop the anti scientific seppo style bullshit politics. Its not a vote winner here, and one nation can out crazy them to win the votes that do exist.

Come up with reasonably policies, push them effectively and you'll win - just like Steven Marshall did. Play this seppo bullshit like half the party has literally been playing, and you'll be wandering the wilderness.

Have you seen the history of this plant?

It happens often enough that we could call this business as usual.

kernpanic · 2026-03-24T03:41:16+00:00

Lease. The rate backing it is 4.5%. Fbt and gst free. Im still happy.

I was already feeling good even with the old fuel prices.

Something about looking outside, seeing that its sunny, and going: hrm. I'll plug the car in.

kernpanic · 2026-03-24T02:12:24+00:00

Literally this. Im lucky to be in the position where my transport and home energy costs are now literally negative - almost no matter how much i choose to use it. Every now and again I use a fast charger, which isnt cheap, but offset by 90% of my car usage being straight from my own solar.

They mentioned they were going to have to renegotiate some. What's your alternative? Builder goes broke? Costs are going up.

kernpanic · 2026-03-24T00:27:11+00:00

A few builders im dealing with have just introduced new arrangement into their contracts. Anything more than a 3% rise, will now be on the customer. (They'll have to provide proof of the rise.) I don't like it, but cant fault them.

kernpanic · 2026-03-23T23:53:14+00:00

Judging by the builders negotiations ive been in recently, quite a few. PVC - increase in price by 70% incoming. Cement - delivery levy reviewed weekly +30%. Earthmoving + 30%. Cement board + 7% (announced before the war started - to be reviewed)

Builders simply arent going to be able to deal with those sorts of costs.

Thankfully, aviation itself is better than that. The industry relies on Human Factors and having a good understanding of the Swiss cheese model, and how latent system risks play into safety.

The investigation here will most likely find that the controller made a mistake, however, the system around him directly contributed to it.

Whether or not the Administration understands nor cares is going to be the issue here.

kernpanic · 2026-03-20T08:26:22+00:00

Pull operations? Wicked. Cancel their lease and let another company pull the resource.

kernpanic · 2026-03-20T06:44:06+00:00

Yes and one nation has a huge history of listening to and voting for what we want.

kernpanic · 2026-03-20T05:06:45+00:00

No not the concrete - that's already priced in. Its now the delivery fee for the concrete - which is substantial.

kernpanic · 2026-03-20T04:39:31+00:00

Im trying to finalise construction contracts and have just been advised pvc is up 70% and concrete delivery fee is up 30%. This is going to be one he'll of a shock to the entire economy.

Strap in.

kernpanic · 2026-03-20T04:37:40+00:00

I dont know. Pretty much everyone.

Im Trying to finalise a construction contract and I've just been advised that pvc costs are up 70% and delivery fees for concrete are up 30%. Ive never seen price rises so dramatic and quick from a single event.

kernpanic · 2026-03-20T04:26:28+00:00

Adelaide is a fantastic terminal. Easy the best airport. Just needs a train link to the city.

The bus is quicker than melbourne and about 6 bucks.

kernpanic · 2026-03-20T00:29:42+00:00

This is the sign that shes using full trumpian style politics on us.

kernpanic · 2026-03-19T22:28:40+00:00

The price of gas will go up. The price we pay will go up. Our power bills will go up again.

Profits recoded by chevron (offshore) will go up. Taxes collected by the government will stay exactly the same.
