wolf cafe firebombed this week in Millers Junction Altona.

I remember that cafe was a Covid hot spot, back when contact tracing was a thing.

Ardeer one looks like its going to be in a good spot. Near the Interchange between Western Ring Road and Ballarat Road.

It’s similar to how V/Line allocates emergency replacement buses.

They have a big list, and start calling the first one. If they can’t do it, they get bumped down the list and they call the next bus operator on the list, until they have a hit.

It’s much easier than having to track the availabilities of every operator.

Thoughts on the rumour that Costco Docklands is closing?

I kind of think it’s a good riddance. The inner city is ill suited for an automotive dependant single story superstore. It’s fun when a V/Line replacement coach gets stuck in the queue of drivers wanting to turn into Costco.

In Japan you have to head well out of the way to visit Costco. The only one in Tokyo is in Hachioji. Otherwise you have to visit Yokohama, Saitama or Chiba prefecture.

Meanwhile they are claiming to the ATSB that a flap issue in the 737-800 is non-safety critical, therefore a change in procedures is not needed.

It’s also going to be interesting seeing the root cause. Tool control is pretty strict in Aviation, and they will be able to identify the exact torque wrench that was meant to tighten up those bolts.

Boeing did have a few crashes in the 1990’s, due to a faulty servo motor in the rudder.

Yeah, he keeps gaslighting me.

I called out that the landlord isn’t going to be happy, and then he goes, I’ve offered to pay. Stop being a fucking manchild.

I want him out. He’s the fucking man child who cannot look after the house at all whenever I’m away.
