Wonder what happened with ACE Yewt, no news on the website since January.

Thinking about that more, I looked at some stats on embodied energy. I guesstimate that we'll have 30-40% of the house left. The lowest embodied energy houses have 10 years of operational use embodied, the worst 20 years. The low figure for energy consumption is 10 tonnes per house per year, 20...

The embodied energy in the remaining parts of house we are keeping will more than offset the flights, not to mention the CO2 savings for the rest of the life of the building so I'm not feeling any guilt about getting someone I trust flown in. We'll do some of it remotely too.

We hope to avoid this by using highly reputable builders that have worked with our architects for 10+ years and built a swag of award winning renos and new homes. The architects would have ditched them long ago if they did shoddy stuff like this. My dad is a retired (perfectionist) builder...

It would be a whole $2.50 for us plebs who don't get discounted watts.

We'll finish middle to end of 2024 pending smooth sailing, definitely welcome to take a look :) Love the idea of modular stuff, I've heard it's not always economical yet but that's turning around. For anyone doing building a mate who is a facade engineer shared this guy and I can't get enough...

Yeah we went to it probably 10 years ago now, 6 stars was out of this world back then. We're using Light House (and paying a premium for it) and our 1973 original Govie will go from ~1.5 stars to 7.4.

Oh yeah, that other fact that every anti EV article forgets!

A selfie in a matching bikini would be stunning! The article is 5 years old. Cobalt is no longer in most batteries. At the very least, we can control the impact of this, unlike when an oil well breaks or a brown coal mine catches fire.

It's fire resistant. We looked into it for our renovation/extension. It seems great, but as @dancaseyimages said difficult to find people and expensive. You also have to design your house with walls twice as thick or more than traditional material so you lose space in the footprint and it's...

I like this bit: Maybe it's just that he wants to defend his love of combustion cars. Because although he has an electric one, he has boatloads of really expensive combustion cars too, and it seems that is where his heart lies.

What @Haakon said, and the bit about batteries being too heavy for trucks. We have trucks, with batteries, moving freight, right now.

Now I am imagining poodle with insanely large nuts fitted with Schrader valves hanging out at a Tesla charger with mad hippies trying to deflate them. Only 2 beers in. Thanks bube.

It looks really cool. Didn't know the e mini was that much either. A quick bubu and I see the Cooper petrol model is 47k so yeah I'm out of touch on car prices in general haha. Does Honda even have a similar petrol model now? I saw one of these in the flesh a while ago at an EV show here in...

He needed that before the crash ;)

Wouldn't have helped. https://www.google.com/search?q=is+titanium+magnetic

Ha, I missed the return of the Hambubu because my back has been shit and I haven't been riding. Physio is booked in. Been using the Theragun for some relief, fuck getting old!

Not in Australia @ $63K, another ICE maker taking the piss again. With the stock model doing 0-100 in 9 seconds, a Type R might be as quick as a base model Tesla 3, but much more expensive.

My 1 up from base model 2015 Golf has Android Auto. Was one of the main reasons we got it.
