I only know all this from working at 7-Eleven from 2006 - 19 in various departments.

Plus in my time there I had good relations with the Patties account manager as I provided analysis on how to improve pie sales by stocking them in the right times (it wasn't a pie chart). Feels like a lifetime ago.

50c isn't the right price point. I don't really want that either.

I don't mind Regional - City maxing out at $15 (daily) and having 1 - 4 stations at a couple of dollars.

Overall I like to see more frequency of services (which this accouncement is good), like what the Frankston line has got.

They have done so for a number of years, since the early 2000s. Patties also own the Herbert Adams brand.

All those pies are made in Bairnsdale.

I was very disappointed when they discountined the 4n20 Meat Free pies. Actually I'm still pissed off about it tbh.

I see that the 7-Eleven Foodservice team are still having 🤪 flavour ideas (they would of worked with Patties with that as the 7-11 branded pies are made by Patties).

It seems nothing has changed since I left that business in Dec 2019 on that front.

The frequency of rail/bus/trams is the key here.

With regards to pricing I think it should be flexible and not flat. Example being if someone goes 1 - 2 stations the fee should be smaller than someone going through more stations.

I still find it odd that I had a return trip from Swan Hill for $0.

I don't we're as too far off (maybe 5 years away, 10 at most), however with EV trucks it will start with the 3.5 tonnes and then the 6 tonne trucks before going onto the larger stuff like B-Doubles.

I've seen a few 3.5 T EV trucks in inner suburbs like Richmond and they're nice and quiet.

A Tribunal member shouldn't be doing another job when hearing a case.

The whole thing has been a mess from the start (i.e. having an umpire working for a betting company is just wtf!).

Butters for round 5 was fined $1k for striking Sam Butler. Still $500 ahead.

Age of Reason

I didn't know Built to Spill were a jam band.
I remember the song Center of the Universe and liked the album Keep It Like a Secret. I just thought of them as a 1990s Indie / Alt Rock band (in a good way).

Most of those losers probably have an AVO on them.

White collar crime goes unpunished once again.

I was able to decipher who that is.
Just a sad man stooping so low to write for The Daily Fail.

Mathieson on a role. He has been banned for three years for an anti-doping violation back in 2025.

Not the best and brighest.

Also thought he was much older than 29 years old.

The weird thing about it is that Andrew Hastie wasn't one of those coalition politicians.

A 🦄 day where I got in and out of VicRoads Ringwood within 15 minutes (great customer service), Petrol for PULP 95 was only $2.18 per litre and a having a >$350 earning day on the garden.

Take the wins when you can.

I remember the tailend of that, but then the 1990s ended for them.

The wooden spoons of the 2000s was (and is still) funny.

They're called the Blues for a reason.

No Swans, no real hill, but there is a nice river.
I had a nice enough time there doing >10km walks on both days.
It has changed a bit from the last time (2014) I have been there, for the better I believe.

I have just ignored them, but my posts rarely break containment lines. When they do break containment lines it is the most innocuous remark which is bizarre.

I should try harder but I've been busy at the moment.

Tuesday - FAILED
Thursday - FAILED
Saturday - FAILED
Sunday - 🖕fate, this block will be completed by my superpowers of stubbornness and spite. DONE! SUCCESS!

That would he the happy ending.
The party is dying to that is at least something.

He'll need that fluff for all the type weather that has happened this week.

As Master Yoda would say '3rd time lucky you are not'.

Nor today for that matter.

Just want to get Jenny's block done (not Jenny from the Block). The weather is mocking me now with its sunshine and totally wet grass.

So my old school ways of having CDs and phyiscal books has worked out well. 😎

Don't get me started on the cloud 🐂💩 as well. Physical hard drives are the real deal.

There are 10 circles of hell that I see here just by accumulating every task on hand.

That is even though offically in Dante's Inferno there are only 9 circles of hell.

Yep, it isn't going to happen today.

The mere thought of wanting to mow a particular customer's lawn has darkened the clouds and creating the sounds of thunder and now the rain has arrived.

Looking at the rain radar it isn't going to happen today.
I was already rained on Tuesday morning.
