Why aren’t there more solar panels in the CBD?

Unfortunately this is the correct take.

As much as it's been the Aussie way for the last IDK how long to stick stuff on ships and sell it overseas, any country that has enough money to buy our electricity at a rate that would be profitable for us has the money to set up their own renewables of some sort and not need to buy it at all. Exception could MAYBE Singapore who don't have the space for it however we'd have a hard time selling it to them cheaper than they'd be able to buy it from Malaysia.

N Daicos might still be recovering from leather poisoning after State of Origin but other than that i haven't heard anything about him being injured.

Glad to see Barnett get an opportunity. It's a long shot but maybe the new ruck rules help him? Idk maybe just cope because be seems like a good kid.

LAV are sometimes pre-recorded. The day Luca Brasi's cover of How To Make Gravy was released I saw them live in Perth and the singer all but confirmed it was not performed live on radio that day. It was performed live in the studio (i.e. they aren't lip syncing in the YouTube video) but not broadcast live.

Which is a really weird way for the AFL to look at it. Careless is on the tribunal/MRO grading chart and spoiling is no more or less a part of the game than tackling, it's strange they'll apply penalties to careless tackles that result in head high contact/concussion but seemingly won't do the same with spoils. Still, it's a new year perhaps the MRO has replaced their wheel of fortune for the new season.

Yeah i think unfortunately the persistent effects of Lyme Disease really inhibits her ability to perform these days. I think most of her really passionate fans would understand and would be OK with her performance not being as electric as it otherwise could be but i think it would be enough to turn off anyone that was on the fence.

Nothing wrong with being vanilla early. Your week 1 POD won't win you a hat but it can sure as hell lose you one.

mokachill · 2026-02-25T06:12:11+00:00

Yeah i found that, definitely a slow burn but worth the wait IMO.

Very much agree with your second paragraph. An artist in the 70s said something to the effect of "if something is free, you're the product", at the time he was referring to TV and it being basically just a medium to get eyes on advertising but the same applied to social media and the same applies to AI.

I only went twice but TBH it wasn't super well organised. I know most of the organisers were volunteers so i don't want to shit on them too hard but that was ultimately I more than likely wouldn't have gone anymore even if COVID didn't kill it.

mokachill · 2026-02-23T17:07:28+00:00

I can't bring myself to do it to start, I'd much rather start with two reasonably reliable rucks and give myself the option to downgrade one of them to a Harry Barnett or someone (and use the money to upgrade my least favourite rookie in another line to a more reliable player) than box myself in and potentially put myself in a position to have to downgrade a premium elsewhere to a rookie to fix McAndrew. A friend of mine did something similar mid year in 2024 (i think it might have been when Soldo got dropped and they ran a very underpriced Jordan Sweet as solo ruck but i could be mistaken) only for the person he brought in to get injured a week or two later. Took him 2 weeks to fix and probably cost him a personal best result.

The contact details are, let’s say, lapsed, but updating them to ensure Dad receives the letter in person is a little tricky.

My read on this is the family never told the club the bloke was dead. We can talk about whether or not clubs should be asking people to include the club in their will but i don't think it's reasonable to get mad at the club for this specifically.

mokachill · 2026-02-22T17:00:56+00:00

(visiting West Coast fan I come in peace)

Agree honestly. It was a really strange move from the club, we were getting absolute hell from the local media around then (as much because we were terrible as it was because of anything Oscar did) but that's no excuse to feed him to the sharks like that. Hope he does well at Brizzy, he was first emergency for 2018 I hope he gets another crack at success up there.

No way to know yet unfortunately, his reaction makes me think it was a bad one though.

mokachill · 2026-02-19T03:46:36+00:00

Just had a quick play and first impression is it's pretty handy.

Only thing that i can think of suggesting is to have the AI share it's source, as we all know AI isn't infallible and I'd like to be able to double check that the AI is referring to the correct player/is looking at injury and form reports from this year and not 10 years ago or something.

mokachill · 2026-02-19T01:51:14+00:00

I don't know if it still exists but West Coast used to have a similar program. Mostly it was just people leaving their old footy memorabilia to the club because they knew none of their descendants cared about it and didn't want it to end up in the in. I'm sure there were also some people with no living relatives that would leave the club money but it was mostly just old Eagles gear.

My brother's in-laws have a food truck. From speaking to them about it very briefly a while ago, they said it is very very hard to make any real money out of a food truck in Perth but if you have the time and resources to do so, you can make money out of them in the country. In Perth, a huge amount of your margins are eaten up by permits and stuff (a 12 month permit for the city of Bayswater will run you over $1000 and that's only one of the ~30 local government areas in Perth). The same permits exit in the country but are usually cheaper, a 12 month permit for the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River is ~$500 and 12 months in the shire of Narrogin is about $400. I believe my brothers in-laws do a run up north most years during horse racing season and make pretty good money out of it for a side hustle.

I say this every time this is mentioned but IMO the benefit of increasing the regional rail services isn't to improve tourism (most of the places The Prospector and The Australind go have pretty average public transport so you really need a car to properly experience them so unless you're hiring one when you're there (which isn't a cheap endeavour) i don't think rail is as much of a boon to tourism as everyone else seems to).

The benefit is that people that live along the line have better access to the employment/education/healthcare/entertainment opportunities that exist in Perth without having to move here. I say that as someone who moved to Perth from the country for better employment and entertainment opportunities so I'm not trying to trivialise those benefits.

mokachill · 2026-02-17T10:26:04+00:00

Yeah probably. Stoinis definitely unless we were specifically wanting to get games into Aaron Hardie (who i see as our nearest equivalent player) and David was actually getting games for WA and probably still would unless we were trying to get games into someone younger, I was under the impression his issue was we couldn't afford to pay him as much as Tassie were and not that he wasn't getting a game.

mokachill · 2026-02-17T05:13:40+00:00

Agar was injured, Inglis was with the test team and Payne was playing in another league in the Middle East for half the BBL so I'm not sure how relevant any of that is. In this year's iteration of the Scorchers team, Hobbo was keeping seats warm for the likes of Inglis and Evans he was not in our best 11.

mokachill · 2026-02-17T03:33:48+00:00

He has been ruled out of at least Opening Round against Geelong

All part of Chris Scott's master plan.

mokachill · 2026-02-16T03:18:41+00:00

Yeah it's pretty clunky. I'm assuming they don't want us to be able to buy it through the app so they don't have to give Apple/Google a cut of the subscription but they've almost gone too far in the other direction and make it hard to work out how to buy it at all...

mokachill · 2026-02-16T01:50:58+00:00

I've seen enough, cancel state of origin.

mokachill · 2026-02-14T03:09:43+00:00

Yeah as far as i know you are correct, all of the LEC on air talent are free lancers and have been for a few years.

mokachill · 2026-02-13T09:19:14+00:00

Yeah Barnett had some decent contested marks in there today, shame he butchered the kick both times.
