Domestic Gas prices in Western Australia have nearly tripled since 2020👇

GAS IS EXPENSIVE.

GAS prices fluctuate wildly.

GAS IS A GAMBLE.

Peak fuckwittery right here in #Perth www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...

Not on my foreshore: Residents fight tiny trees set to block ‘million-dollar’ Perth views

On one side, the city’s hard at work on an urban forest strategy with eager input from locals wanting more trees. But on Jubilee Street, the mood is different.

Bennetts Wallabies at Adventure Bay, Bruny Island. White wallabies are common there with a stable population of them. It’s not uncommon to see a grey wallaby with a white joey or vice versa.

"Where shall we meet?"
"At the blue Mondoshawan"

It's a Mondoshawan. An alien from the excellent movie Fifth Element. One description I found online is:

The Mondoshawan are a race of aliens that are friendly to humans. Standing slightly taller than a Human, the Mondoshawan are quasi-biblical beings that serve as the caretakers of both the Four Elemental Stones (Water, Earth, Fire, Air) and guardians of the Fifth Element. Although little is known of their homeworld or race it can be assumed it is some distance from Earth, remaining relatively secluded from the other races. Little is known of what the Mondoshawan actually look like as they are only seen wearing an impenetrable gold-metallic armor.

At some point in Ancient History, the Mondoshawan visited the Humans "before time was time". A succession of Priests were established to protect the Fifth Element and the Chamber in Egypt known as the 50th-level parish. Evil attempted to destroy the world 5000 years prior to the events of The Fifth Element, possibly multiple times - and perhaps even causing the Moon to form around Earth.

In the Divine language, the word 'Mondoshawan' translates as 'guardians'.

I just installed an AC unit in a window that was 3 inches too small for it.

This 2 hour process ultimately involved removing the windows entirely and re-installing them in-transition around the unit as it was maneuvered into place.

I feel like I could teach at MIT while punching god right now.

Having cycled the length of it, I can't imagine why someone would want to damage any bit of it.
