Far out, how have I not heard this. All the more reason to change the name to Walyalup sooner rather than later.

Fremantle sounds like a top bloke:

In April 1826 Fremantle was charged with raping a 15-year-old girl. His family is said to have paid off witnesses and leant on the judiciary to avoid scandal. He then went on to groom 10 more girls under the age of 18, his family has denied all allegations.

Signed. Fuck data centers.

Should never go ahead in such a biodiverse spot.

The draft letter said Sandy Islet, a part of Scott Reef considered critical to the survival of endangered green turtles, would be threatened if the seabed subsided after Woodside extracted gas from beneath it. It said a proposal to top up the sand on the islet, where about 1,000 turtles breed each year, was a “high-risk” measure and its success was “likely to be limited”.

Woodside answer, top up sand, and drill 20km away.

The expansion of water due to ocean heating though probably means this breeding ground is already doomed without massive intervention.

I'd seriously think about using this service.

Going by plane is too expensive, and I can only drive short distances now.

Fast trains would be a good idea, something that makes it viable for at least the first couple stops to get into Perth or Albany (each way) within an hour. Then those towns could have an added benefit of becoming commuter towns, sustainably reinflates the populations and community spirit of those towns while easing housing pressures in the cities.

that doesn't make sense in my head, I would have thought the only benefit air has over any other heat transfer medium is that is is everywhere, doesn't make a mess and we can breath it, but I also dropped out of thermodynamics school so who knows.

I'm imagining some metallic sack full of...magic heat transfer beans that sits on top of the cook top and then you sit your wok in

I'm not thermodynamicist, but I saw somewhere that adding thermally conductive material can only slow down the heat transfer speeds (unless youre replacing another insulating material).

Cause convection does such a better job at moving heat, youre better off just leaving open air to transfer it.

I feel like a metal interface stand that is flat on the bottom, is heated by the flat induction plate the curved on top to match the wok shape would be a relatively simple item to allow woks to be used.

I've never found the flat bottoms delivered a good outcome no matter the heat source. Just not a wide enough surface area to impart the heat. I'd be keen to try the round shaped induction stove. If it delivers heat across that whole inverted dome i think that's the game changer required.

You'll have to get a model that actually delivers good power, which in turn means you need serious electric power, too.

I tried a flat bottom wok on a 3.5kW plate years ago (which maxes out a standard socket here with 240V and 16A), and it was underwhelming to put it mildly. To properly stir-fry you'll need a bit more ooomph. I'd guess 6 to 10kW would be a good range, which would imply 3-phase power.

Never really thought about a traveller having the licence to remain at the transit hub while in transit. Interesting little story though.

Its definitely one of those things that future us will wonder why it took so long to decide to change.

"We also have a curved induction wok burner, which is fantastic, which you use with a round wok, and the temperatures there you can get up to are easily adequate to get that nice wok flavour."

Awesome, I've never seen one of those before! The home models look to be about $400, which is pretty quickly recoupable when - as they point out in the article - the yearly fee just to have a gas connection is hundreds of dollars.

The health effects of gas cooking make it a good idea to get rid of it.

Ms Hayne added it "solves problems we don't have and creates problems we don't need", while Murdoch Vice-Chancellor Andrew Deeks labelled it "nonsense".

This means its a non-starter. Buti needs to back off and realise how damaging a merger would be.

Deloitte has called the errors "minor" and said they do not affect the findings of the cost-benefit analysis.

What a surprise, an accounting firm paid to give governments reasoning for the answers said government wants comes back with a rosey report riddled with AI corner cutting errors.

If Buti was taking this idea seriously he'd have set up a working group in a department, not one of these legitimacy washers that have lost all credibility.

The fact they continue to find more ways to lack any credibility as useful companies in our system astounds me. I'd be embarrassed to work for Deloitte or one of the other big four accounting firms now. Delivering nothing of value to our society, while sucking up as much cash as they can.

More fool us for electing governments who still use them for anything.

Yeah, i definitely think air pollution is a problem that's crept up on people in Perth.

What a brilliant idea for an installation! Might make some think a bit more.

Its not the buisiest port down at Freo, but some interesting visits quietly happen.

Farmers markets are getting more and more popular. Only problem I have is they're not usually at the cheap end of grocery shopping. Like, i'd love to support local more, but I can't pay premium prices every week. I think IGA has a similar problem now as well.

The flies are back! 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰

Anyway, let me know how you go settling in. Nice to have you knocking around here 😄

And don't forget Evan Prodomou's advice,

If you believe in the #Fediverse :

• post here
• bring your friends and family here
• tell companies, governments and creators to be here
• pay for your instance
• pay for your software

Do one thing every day. The Fediverse is worth fighting for.

I suppose the most noticeable difference to explore will be the differences you see in the 'local' tab on each account. Because the instances are different, the local tabs should be very different from each other.

Edit: reworded

The pharmacy was sold out of my favourite hay fever medication.

Yeh, alt accounts I guess. Or though in my head they’re one and the same because the username, email, and even password are the same…
