I think Zenithe's power has been out for ~1 week. Must be so poo poo.

Tomorrow is day 9, every day mid 30's, almost still wind and 80% humidity.

In summary, yes it is so poo poo.

As a member of the SES can I request that nobody eats us? If people start trying to eat us I'll probably have to do another 4 hour long training session to make sure I'm aware of the risks involved with being a food source.

Those orange suits are hot and smelly so I doubt we'd be good eating anyway. Plus we are volunteers so I'd hope the cannibals at least target LNP voters before us.

quote:

Evidence of formaldehyde has been found in the protective gear worn by Victoria's emergency services workers.

In a study of seven garments, the CSIRO found low levels of the cancer-causing compound in clothing treated by Proban, a chemical additive used to make protective clothing fire retardant.

Proban is currently used in clothing worn by the firefighters, the State Emergency Service and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, according to Emergency Management Victoria (EMV).

The results were reported by the Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Authorities Council (AFAC).

"What they've actually shown is that the ensemble - which is the gear that our firefighters wear for bushfires - have some residual risk of carrying some chemicals," Victoria's Emergency Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said.

Mr Lapsley said the report did not describe the CSIRO findings as a critical safety issue, but that an alert had been issued as a precautionary measure.

"Nothing in the report has brought to our attention to say that we have a significant issue to deal with," he said.

"But we've acted very quickly to ensure that the information has been relayed to our firefighters through a safety alert.

"And that safety alert tells our firefighters what to do in the maintenance of their safety clothing."

Delicious.

Dr Anthony Lyndham is out doing clean up Australia day, I just got a photo of him with 2 attendees.

he does not support meta data retention. and thinks it's abhorrent that federal Labor is caving. I told him to recant the Labor policy of detention overseas and asked him about the NBN and if it's too far hosed. he doesn't think so but noone really knows what's going on with that. He says the smart state funds are still there just sitting in an account doing nothing. state Labor is going to make another science push. the Boggo road labs are mostly empty waiting for companies to form and take residence. he encouraged me to make a start up and take ownership of one.

I'll try to get him to the next Brisgoons meet.

What kind of science do you do? Or am I misunderstanding what they mean by 'labs'?
