Been an engineer in Energy since January 1989, when I took on an Engineering Cadetship for the then electricity Commission. Spent time in all facets, including my most recent stint, over now of running a power station. Seems that the "transition" only wants to have current, and emerging...

I keep hearing that (including various ministers that I've spoken to). But it is, and it can, and here's how one power station in Oz is doing it. https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2025/01/casestudy-2024-10-12-mp2-twoshift/

Have encountered 6 of these species in the wild (4 species inside city limits)...they are everywhere. Probably over a dozen encounters over the years (4 species have been found inside the turbine house of power stations I've worked at)

Apologies for the other thread not having sufficient info or commentary...I thought that the joke was self evident. Here's a new solution, from companies as respected and revered as Rolls Royce...a means to charge your electric buldozers, backhoes, trucks, and grappling hooks while eliminating...

Just realised that 2 days ago, 9th of January was my 35th anniversary of joining the power industry...started in 1989, as an Undergrad Cadet. Half a dozen companies, same start date and service number carried through from Govt ownership to privately owned Gentailer..

Hi all, feeling great, as I am back owning a petrol mower... after 2 battery mowers in just over 4 years (12 month warranties should have been a dead givaway), and the demise of my Briggs Quantum powered Victa being killed by the Ex at separation(the one I did the temperature tests on all those...

I can't have a job without an account to deposit my pay into. I can't do my tax (or child support) without a bank account. Can't buy a house, car etc.... Can't hold stocks or bonds.. So with the inability to exist without one ? Should access to a bank account in Western society beva human right ?

Oz is going all digital when it comes to dealing with agencies, tax etc. Do my Income Tax return, and within 2 minutes, get a letter from child support, revising the amount payable (well deducted from wages). Last week, got a letter from Child Support - thought I'd never get one again, as Son...

Yesterday was my last day as a Dad...well what Oz considers a Dad to be. Son turned 18 today, last 23 minutes I spent with him was this day 2020, the couple of hours that we had planned that day were bookended and controlled by OP, then manipulated into nothing. So today, Society (the Gov)...

Having had a three year break from really looking at much, and letting the Holden Service Centre maintain the Colorado, with the DMax, and life in general, starting to pay a bit more attention. Appalled at the loss of things like D1 ESP in the Oz market. First service in the DMax coming sooner...

Oz has run out (well been run out for over a year)...no pistol, shotgun, nor rifle powder to be had....and the pyrodex I can find is $185/lb.... What's the situation over there ?

Another D-Max owner got this bulletin from Isuzu, specifically for the Aisin awr6b45, as fitted to these (also in Toyotas). Toyota's fluid spec is also TOYOTA ATF WS...and nothing else. Thoughts ? (No I'm not going messing with it...the 6L50E had specific warm up for level checking, looks...

A little over 5-1/4 years since I posted the first pale horse here's my new Pale Horse. Apologies for the lighting, it was available near dusk, but same location as the first. Been a lot of renewal the last bit of time, and just over a month to our wedding.

Just got notice from the lease company that my Pale Horse replacement is on the production line in Thailand. Colorado will be sold...everything changed in her time of ownership. Same platform as the Colorado, with updates and changes, but Isuzu DMax, Xterrain...will have the same front bar as...
