Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I was cycling so you'll just have to use the force to imagine a metallic red GranCabrio II. 110
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026@hknumberplates.bsky.social within 10 minutes of each other today in Stanley and Tai Lam: SITH (red Maserati) and JEDI (black 5 series). 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Does running over the whales and pink dolphins also count as "catching dinner"? 020
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Don't look up the price in HK 💀 At least I don't need to use the car to commute! 000
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Probably less "don't want to" and more "aren't legally allowed to" work beyond the allowed duty period. 2210
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Taiwan seems to be the worst offender here when it comes to city names… Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Taitung 110
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Ah excellent, a 0.5% boost for buying that $10m apartment to accommodate kid number 2. Really gonna help! 000
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Why would it be a problem? This has never been prevented in Australia and it's totally fine. 000
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Perhaps, like after the last cyclist was killed on that road, we might get two days of police speed enforcement before the free-for-all resumes 🙄 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 11/08/2026A whole shelf of copies of The Martian seems like a lot. 000
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Shimanami Kaido is spectacular; do it! (You can rent e-bikes from Giant, too, if you aren't up to pushing yourself the entire way.) I did the whole thing + detours in one day and would love to go back. And +1 for cycling around Taipei; Yangmingshan was one of my favourite rides ever! 020
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 30/07/2026sounds like an incentive to invest in newer, more efficient vehicles to me 🤷🏻♂️ (Have you seen any data on the fuel economy of the old Crown Comforts vs the new hybrids?) 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The lifts to the train station at Perth Airport have this! I've never seen it anywhere else. 010
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Me too, this morning! But from the right hand side unlike Skip over here 👨🏻✈️ 110
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Congratulations on shipping! (And surviving app review 🫡) 120
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 18/06/2026You mean this?hko.gov.hkRainstorm Warning SystemRainstorm Warning System The rainy season in Hong Kong is normally between April and September. Rain could be particularly heavy and persistent during May and June, causing severe traffic disruption 110
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 11/06/2026We have plenty of tall buildings already—there's a bar-cum-viewing gallery near the top of ICC? 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I guess that's probably, perversely, why they can't put anything more useful than the cruise terminal and abandoned CIF at the end of the runway. Traffic in that cul-de-sac with no non-road transport would be catastrophic! 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 16/05/2026It is genuinely baffling that there is no under-cover access between either of the two newly-built MTR stations and the newly-built stadium, in a city well known for torrential rain. 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Worth adding that the government terminated the electric car tax incentive mere weeks ago. 010
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 12/04/2026He’s right, though. The no-cars thing is (was) a DB USP, and a contributor to many people choosing it. How is getting older and associated mobility issues necessitating a move from DB different to needing to leave a suburban 2 storey house in Aus or elsewhere? 010
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 31/03/2026That’s something. I’m still expecting availability of credit card contactless will be near zero, which makes this whole scheme of very little benefit to non-Chinese visitors. (And myself who wants to pay by card for accounting purposes) 010
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 31/03/2026I sense a market for custom QR and contactless payment apps that technically work but no customer has ever heard of 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 28/03/2026A few years ago I did kind-of the opposite of what you’re doing and combined many separate libraries into one. PowerPhotos is a great utility that would probably help a lot with your current task moving images (with edits) between libraries: www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos 020
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 25/03/2026My apartment complex in Hong Kong has just installed individual 240V/32A outlets at every parking space under a subsidy scheme from the government. A rare excellent policy from HKSARG. www.evhomecharging.gov.hk/en 000
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 10/03/2026You have a VW, right? I had a similar issue with a rental Cupra (VW group brand so presumably same software stack) recently, so not just you. 000
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I didn’t mention this is in Australia where the connectors have always been the same. 110
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 03/03/2026This also contributes to some level of perceived lock-in effect, too. My dad has had a Model 3 for some years and now wants to replace it with something else, but he was under the impression that would involve replacing his Tesla chargers he’d put at home and the office. 100
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 20/02/2026If you were wanting to take the ferry, it may not be as bad (for you) as it looks: a few months ago I saw a similar queue there, but if you just walk along the side of it, they are all lining up to use the WeChat/Alipay entry; if you have octopus you can go straight past them all 😏 120
Matt Baker @mhbaker.bsky.social · 03/02/2026The helicopter is only $4400 (granted that is per person, but still…) 000
