@perkinsy Very satisfying.
My vege garden in #brisbane has been loving all the rain also. Chili, Aubergine, Corn, Capiscum, Cucumber & Pumpkin popping out all over. Would like to get tomatoes going seriously, they are so pricey in the supermarkets.

Brisbane council does an every-year kerbside rubbish collection, which starts tomorrow. It’s a brilliant thing. We’re putting out bits of stuff, and there are a set of people driving about looking for stuff to use/sell/fix, snaffling stuff they like as quickly as they can. Great that our old and unwanted (and filthy in many cases) things might get a new home, or used for parts, or something other than just go to landfill. Why don’t they do this everywhere?

This bot monitors the Australian energy market price predictions published by AEMO. If it looks like price of electricity is about to go wonky @qldgridbot will toot about it.
I'm still fine-tuning the thresholds for what's considered an interesting event – right now that's a price peak of above 50c/kWh. I'm aiming for less than 5 toots a day.
Let me know what you think. Retoot for visibility please!
The Mustang MachE #EV has finally arrived in Australia. Nowhere near as big as I thought it was going to be - and that’s a good thing. #ElectricVehicle
This was spotted in Newstead, #Brisbane
I have just about finished my cassette tape digitisation project for SO, and now the kit is useless to me. I have an encoder, a walkman style cassette player, and the cables, either to lend or give to someone in #Brisbane who wants to do the same thing. Can post if you pay for it.
Today in Labor History January 31, 1912: A General Strike began in Brisbane, Australia. It lasted until March 6. The strike was a response to the suspension of tramway workers for wearing union badges. Within a few days, the strike committee became the de facto government of Brisbane. No work could be done in the city without the committee’s permission. They created their own independent police force and provided ambulance service for the city. They issued strike coupons, redeemable at stores that were in solidarity with the strikers. People wore red ribbons to show their support and even put them on their dogs and dray horses. On the second day of the strike, 25,000 people marched, with another 50,000 supporters watching. On Black Friday, February 2, the cops attacked a women’s march with batons. Emma Miller, a trade unionist and suffragist who was in her 70s and weighed less than 80 pounds, pulled out a hat pin and stabbed the rump of the police commissioner’s horse. The horse reared and threw the commissioner. As a result of his injury, he limped for the rest of his life. The courts ultimately ruled in favor of the unionists, and their right to wear union badges while on the job. Errol O’Neill wrote a play about the strike, “Faces in the Street.”
Had a great #sailing session today on the #brisbane river. There was a slight drizzle and the wind was very irregular, but we had a great day. I remembered to start the track recording on my phone. Max speed of 15km/h, 8 knots.
Anyone have the link to the story where Brisbane landlords installed cameras inside a student's rental home? Like inside the living areas?
