Luke Ashdown @kazashi.bsky.social · 06/10/2026On that day I was driving from uni into town to pick up some lunch. The local radio (which was a rock station back then) was playing Van Halen. One song, then another, then a third. At that point I knew something was amiss; eventually they announced that it was a tribute hour to Eddie. 🤘♥️ 010

Luke Ashdown @kazashi.bsky.social · 10/09/2026That first engineer is selling flexible pavements short; this category also includes asphalt profiles that will last decades, and rigid pavement is more expensive AND difficult to maintain. Of course, any road not maintained properly will fail, and privatisation has a lot to answer for here. 011
Luke Ashdown @kazashi.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Yep, I've been caught up in it despite having an account for over 18 years. Many people are hitting issues with debit cards not being accepted, because we don't do a lot of credit. 040

Luke Ashdown @kazashi.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The brand has been made toxic by the media; people out in regional areas love the policies, but when you say "Greens" they suddenly forget all the good things and become little parrots 010

Luke Ashdown @kazashi.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I'm not going to tell anyone to not do it, but I'm currently in that post-masters high where I feel I could do it all again, or even go higher. Reality is telling me to take the current W and spend time on family/job, and finding hobbies again. 000
Luke Ashdown @kazashi.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Don't remember how good you felt after getting the masters, remember how not good it felt doing the work to get there. 100
