Buses are third world stop gaps. They suck. They are pain to get in and out of, they lurch about, they’re loud and bouncy, and driven by idiots. And this morning they like to bully cyclists with kiddie seats into the gutter…

Commuter buses and offices two days in a row… Hmm. Taking the bus is always such a good reminder of why we need trams (and not fucking sportsball stadiums…) in Hobart. Buses suck.

Hmm, I don’t remember them but only been up that area once or twice and may have been too busy wheezing to notice!

I’ll race you for it!

? google is my friend… Ha, I doubt it. Maybe the 25 and see how far ahead of last I manage! Still a lot of blue arrows up yesterday from a recent event.

More XC style exploring around Meehan on the Trance. Some very good trails out the back - Elevator is an appropriately named climbing trail. Mildly surprised I survived that after the morning spent wheelbarrowing half a ton of mulch up the massive slope that is my backyard!

Having growths on your shoulder is a requirement of life in Tasmania.

Yeah I’ll buy electric when I need a new one. This is still the Aldi 4 stroke job, only bought for shits and giggles and it’s turned to be actually not shit. Will use it until it dies. The original chain was trash though, it’s got a husky one on it now.

I was going to, but I use the saw so rarely I thought I’d just spend 15 bucks and have it recovered - and not let it get past what the file would sort out! Oh well, chains are not expensive.

Lachlan Murdoch is going to make his old man look like a lefty. Buckle up folks. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/23/lachlan-murdoch-endorses-tony-abbott-to-join-fox-corporation-board-of-directors

Was always fun forgetting there was a sportball thing on and finding my nice train overrun with loud bogans…

Fixed.

We have Greg Hunt to thank for all that.

But still manages to be fairly offensive... She still has a talent for that.

I got some actual grief from Vertigo for being dropped by Kirsty at the top of Blue Tier...

It also brings up when and why companies do voluntary offsets. In a policy setting where you have an effective and economy wide mechanism (cough carbon pricing mechanism cough...) there really isn't much call for it - everyone is demonstrably doing their bit. But over the last decade of course...

Exactly.

There are a bunch of organisations involved in “accreditation” of them. In Australia the main one is the Clean Energy Regulator and all I’ll say about that is that Australian credits are much higher quality than international ones. The whole idea is not without merit, but there is a fair bit of...
