I am still mourning the loss of my last 2g phone. 3-4 weeks between charges.

"From 1 August 2023, the rates and charges on your Nothing Fancy plan will change. We estimate the yearly cost of your electricity will increase by $1,348 (GST incl)^. Your new (and current) rates and charges are displayed below."

About 50% increase due to:

"Why is the price of my electricity changing?
It's predominantly due to unprecedented supply challenges and volatility in the Australian energy market, which has caused wholesale prices to rise. Changes in network, environmental and retailing costs have also contributed. If you want to know more about the causes of energy price changes, click the link below."

That's one hell of a volatile market.

This 2022 state election is a real shit storm. No matter who you vote for, nothing with change. Only about 8 out of 23 parties have any merit.

1 - Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party Victoria - hates fag animal rights groups, reduce local councils, hunting and gathering forever, loves guns (although mentions suppressors and reducing laws, nothing about semis), no official stance on abortion but some hints they are for it.

Had 16 active vines this year. Each one grew a tonne of bunches and despite the dry ass summer, I managed to keep them watered. Almost every bunch was full and growing healthily. But none ripened. Messed up weather. Leaves are now dropping and the grapes are starting to shrivel on the vine. Lots of people down here are have had similar problems. Same thing happened last year as well to every one.

Worst year for fruit this year regardless. Lots of berries though. Always have a variety of food sources.

World war 2 was way cool.

Good to see some medical centers not caving in. At the bottom are good summaries.

"In Kara Le’s case (- C2022/301 - Le v Virgin Australia Airlines Pty Ltd), Kara Le was REFUSED to be Injected BECAUSE she attended for Injection at the Mymedical Health Centre Kirrawee, NSW and the Injecting Practitioner REFUSED TO INJECT, because it is UNLAWFUL for ANYBODY to be Covid-Injected (involuntarily with threats of coercion or intimidation of being employment terminated) under THE Federal Health Department ‘Australian Immunisation Handbook Criterion 2. for Valid Consent."

So he still holds a seat under a deregistered party and deregistered shortly after voting for the communist powers bill. What a shit show.
