Never let an electrician design your EV charging solution. Something about the way they're brought up means they overcook *everything*. Just seen a quote for an upgrade to a small maintenance shed at a council depot. Electrician has recommended upgrading the site to 630A three phase. We used to design Tesla Supercharger 8-bay sites on the highway with less power than that.
Australian people in business love saying "my problem is unique and impossible to solve".
Apparently this electrification is cost effective against the reduction in CAPEX required for mine ventilation. Mine ventilation is insanely expensive.
Here's something my business worked on before I started here that I didn't know about

Well PSG win. Pretty even game to the eye but PSG had the overwhelming majority of possession.

This pushup challenge is on this year: https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/ 3,307 pushups in 24 days. what?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'd die if I attempted that. I've been training pushups for about 3 years post shoulder reco and I can do about 15 good ones in a row, three times. This challenge is 137/day. Surely not many people can actually do that? Or are they the worst pushups you've ever seen?

I'm negotiating a new electricity connection with a head of engineering at [redacted] DNSP. IE someone who should know what they're talking about. They've got simple units wrong 3 times now, to the point that no one has the faintest idea what they're talking about anymore.
