    As someone who has worked with asphalt, we have tried using different mixes with plastic, glass, shredded rubber and printer ink cartridges in it, hard part is organising it with the batch plants, it only tends to happen when they decide to do trials with it, otherwise it's just the normal emulsion, stone and sand mix. The laying and finish seems relatively the same across all the mixes, time will tell with the time it takes to break down and has to be replaced

    12 months ago we had 2m of snow on the top of Mt Wellington in Hobart, today it's meant to be 17°, I know temperature fluctuates but we haven't even seen cold yet this far south

    I ride my bike to work when I can as my drive is only 10-15 minutes each way, but when I've got a daycare drop off before 7 each day and then pickup in the afternoon, plus other errands to run the bike doesn't work all the time and public transport in Hobart isn't the greatest. Times will change hopefully

  • Happy to volunteer to be a mod. Hobart local, pretty easy going. Not planning on power tripping and ruling with an iron fist. Happy to have an inclusive community.

    TIL that in 1994 a Russian pilot let his son handle the control on a passenger airplane. The son crashed the plane, and all 75 on board died.

    Now I've got my head around how the instances work and how everything is connected but not connected at the same time I'm growing to like it. Once more communities pop up I think it's going to be good

    I was luck enough to buy a 3 bedroom house in Tas back in 2016 for $280,000. We have a home loan amount remaining around $200k, in 12 months, our repayments have gone from $1037 to $1478 a month. We are lucky that we can afford this still but with the price of everything else going up it's starting to get tighter for sure. I can't imagine what it's like for the people who bought a house when the prices were at their peak after being told that the rates won't change, so they took out a $500k + loan just to get into the market.
