“Eu tenho essa marra toda de “comigo ninguém pode”, digo pra você que “melhor que eu só dois de mim”, mas não sou tão confiante assim. Essa pose também, mas metade disso tudo é fachada. I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be funny. No fundo eu não sou desse jeito. Eu sou convencido assim porque lá dentro sou tão inseguro que preciso de auto-afirmação, massagem no meu ego o tempo todo. Meu ciúme é um pouco de medo de terminar sozinho, de ver todo mundo se ajeitando com alguém e eu ficando pra trás. O orgulho é só pra não deixar as pessoas saberem que são importantes; porque na minha cabeça, todo mundo que é importante uma hora vai embora. Mas você nunca entendeu.”
—Call Me Captain Backfire, Vinícius Kretek
“Eu e a minha mania idiota de achar que as pessoas se importam comigo do mesmo jeito que me importo com elas. ”

“After a night of uncomfortably warm temperatures, and a dawn reading of 32°C, Victoria’s residents turned to their air-con and pedestal fans in near record numbers. By 9am, demand had spiked so high that electricity prices had soared to $10,000 a megawatt hour as utilities switched on every last generator they could find to meet demand. These wholesale prices are normally between $35-$50/MWh. During that day, which reached a peak of 44.3°C in Melbourne in mid afternoon, the wholesale electricity price never fell below $1,000/MWh. For nearly four hours, it hovered around the $10,000/MWh price. The way the National Electricity Market works means that every generator switched on at that time receives that price, even though it still only cost the brown coal generators around $4/MWh to shovel the coal into their power plants. Over an eight-hour period, the state’s generators would have pocketed an estimated $550 million in revenue, near one fifth of their total revenue for the year.”
—Modelling from Melbourne Energy Institute suggests wide deployment of solar would have a dramatic reduction in wholesale energy prices.
