One ‘trial shift’ as a dishpig at a restaurant. Had never been in a commercial kitchen and had no idea they used a new pan to cook every single dish, or that uneaten ‘decorative greens’ were recycled on the next dish served. Never got paid. Never since eaten ‘decorative greens’ at a restaurant.

Got fired for taking a sick day a couple of months into my first job out of uni. A week later their payout for unfair dismissal was in my bank account (another couple of months pay iirc). Very quick turning and I moved to Wellington instead of staying in Chichester, so wins all around really.

So close… @7news.bsky.social

Hey #Qantas, is this canoe tail cone (Boeing 737-800 trailing edge flap track fairing tip cone) meant to be missing???

Local MP is a coward that hides comments from their Facebook page.

After a century of resistance, it’s great to see #Trump advocating for the uptake of #SI. Wait, he was unaware of the existence of Système international d'unités? Yep, he’s still just a self-serving moron.

Oh no, won’t someone think of the firearms businesses…

Firearms businesses say they are struggling under Minns government's post-Bondi gun laws

I quite liked Bailey Smith’s blue and black Brownlow suit. Or was it white and gold?

Did you know the practice of using fire to burn combustible matter in controlled circumstances with the goal of reducing the risk of uncontrolled fire at a later date, is known by different names in each state of Australia?

Domain.com.au still reporting test data on their live auction results prod site 🤷‍♂️

There are no Opal readers on Sydney Ferries. They’re on the wharf.

Opal readers on Sydney Ferries to be switched off for four weeks, union says amid industrial action

You know that oft quoted objection to EVs: “but how will it tow my caravan, around Australia, on a trip I do once, ever?” Surely EV and caravan designs will evolve such that the caravan will supply power to the towing vehicle? Active power hitch and a small static dino-fuelled generator in the van.

I think I just vomited a little bit

“Applehead Deli” opened this week in the old Mentone Station. A cafe/bar collab by the people who run the successful popular Applehead Deli Mentone and Mates Bar Mordialloc. Breakky menu & coffee today were great, service flawless, seating plentiful. They’ll do well. maps.app.goo.gl/zGtSjHPBeTDf...

This business seems to have used quality, reputable brand e-bikes - like Amp Bros Chubby, Vallkree, NCM and MURF. I wonder what they did wrong? Mixed up the chargers maybe?

Maroochydore’s “new” city centre has an underground automated waste collection system, the only one in Australia. Intended to reduce the need for waste collection trucks, particularly services for large apartment and commercial sites. Seems to work ok. www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/living-and-c...

The rental market is tight on the Sunshine Coast, and letting agents have taken to using bait-pricing to make their properties appear lower in searches. This tactic is prohibited in VIC, and should be prohibited everywhere. Ping @purplepingers.bsky.social

Um, what? It’s a 1% levy based on the ticket price of a trip. I don’t know who you think is spending $6000 a week on public transport fares? The maximum weekly cost right now for travelling every day is ($5.70x5)+($4x2)=$36.50, and the ‘secret 1% tax’ included in that would be 36.5 cents.

Can almost guarantee that the thing Carroll is planning to cancel is the thing that will make #SRL useful: the ability to easily, seamlessly transfer between lines at interchange stations. If he does cancel this, he may as well cancel the whole thing.

Can’t let the VIC opposition’s proposals go without comment. The 2 highlighted changes would result in an economic, environmental and energy disaster for the state. Irresponsibility destructive.

Premier & Planning Minister announce new suburb for 36,000 residents, and the best they can deliver in equitable public transport is “bus capable roads”? This shit is so friggin predictably unsatisfactory. 12 years in government and they’ve learned nothing. www.premier.vic.gov.au/new-suburb-m...

What’s up at Parkers Rd roundabout pedestrian crossing? It was painted as a zebra crossing during the Level Crossing Removal project, and Pedestrian Crossing signs installed. The signs are still there, but the paint has been ground off. Conflict now ensues: is it a pedestrian crossing or is it not?

Incredibly, after more than 8 months of being “off”, the Shared Use Path lights south of Parkdale Station are back “on”! #ParkdaleLXR

“Strategic Cycling Corridors (SCC) are important transport routes for cycling and are a subset of the Principal Bicycle Network (PBN).” But apparently, not THAT important. These 2 sites are 900m apart. Parkdale & Mordialloc LXR Projects both fell short of building an integrated cycling connection.

“We’re letting politicians sell the future so they can get reelected, and that’s what they’re doing. The way they spend, they spend money to buy votes, that’s what they’re doing do. And it really works.” I think you might be onto something #Hughesy 🤔

So this is the new ‘winter’ in #Melbourne. I don’t recognise it. And I’m worried for what summer will be like.

Ok, who are these people aligned with? They’re spending big bucks on prime time Sunday evening TVCs.
