Attended the #EverythingElectric show in Melbourne today.
Got to sit in various EVs today to see which ones I liked and to cross out the ones that were a definite NO for my next car.
Overheard someone say it felt like a "Geely Group car show". Which I can understand why people thought that.

Even as a digital forensic investigator who's seen people dragged to prison for their darkest evil impulses, I'm still stunned by so many powerful people letting their vices draw them into an incompetent circle of depravity and susceptibility to blackmail. Billionaires are truly maladjusted idiots.

The #Melbourne Metro Tunnel will open on Sunday 30th November, with the temporary summer timetable (services every 20 minutes). I'm told the summer free weekend travel, previously announced for December to January, will include that day.

The media keeps pushing the lie that fossil fuels are cheaper than renewables. They’re not. CSIRO and AEMO show solar and wind are far cheaper. The fossil fuel lobby funds the lie, and half our grid’s already renewable. The transition’s happening, like it or not.

It's been 85 years since the last cable tram ran, and they're largely forgotten now but they laid the foundations of today's extensive electric tram network.
