    I think that's a tad harsh. Not so much delusions of superiority as "jeeeerrrbbs", and as more renewables come on line, the coal mining will fade. Bur definitely self-centred, in an understandable way.

    I'm supposedly going to a real restaurant on Friday. Food not cooked by me. Still if it was cancelled I'd be cool about it. A little leery of everything .

    I went to grill'd today for lunch. It was nice to seat down and eat at a place like that again. Had takeaway a few times over the past few months.

    Same here it's nice to sit down and actually eat somewhere. I went to San Churros and had well you guessed it churros.

    Too, too accurate to be really funny.

    But what they need is more calculator mashing....

    It's funny but scary how accurate they are, pity they dub the voices with different voice actors.

    No new cases of covid-19 in Tasmania for 27 days and no active cases and no one in quarantine who is known to have contact with a case.

    Yes, it looks like we will be going to level three restrictions on 26 June instead of the 13 July.

    But those protests......... Scotty from Marketing says they will be a dire health issue.
    Also one of Scotty's ministers said anyone protesting should lose jobseeker payments if they were getting that. Now now Scotty..


    Can someone explain Australia's electricity market?

    I mean we have tons of electricity companies.

    How does one start one of these?

    Aren't they all just selling you the same electricity to you, it's not like they are building their own separate infrastructure now is it, just very glossy marketing and TV advertisements.

    So how does this work exactly that they can all sell you the SAME electricity yet charge different prices?

    Hey! Things aren't that bad. I'm pretty much staying in my suburb at the moment. Lucky I can do things from home at the moment.
