The Search For Stannard's Grave

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aBfy_sFZEZI

You might rember on the show a flashback scene where Franklin and Lady Jane discuss his disappointing term as governor of Tasmania, and how it was a setback for his career. He needed to accept command of the Northwest Passage expedition to get his career back on track.

While in Tasmania (in real life) Franklin went on an expedition to explore the south-west wilderness of the island, and many features were named after him and his family. Including the Franklin River, the Jane river (named after Lady Jane) and even the Cracroft River named after Sophia Cracroft, Crozier's love interest.

In the 19th century, lumberjacks or piners pushed deep into the Tasmanian wilderness along the rivers, looking for the very valuable Huon pine. John Stannard died in 1901 in an accident, and was buried on the Jane River. The location of his grave was lost until 2021 when it was rediscovered.

If you are now thinking your obession with Arctic exploration and The Terror might be threatened by a new obsession with Tasmanian Gothic, I recommend the films "The Last Confession Of Alexander Pearce" and "The Hunter" 2011. If you like books, try "Death Of A River Guide" by Richard Flanagan.

I hope someone here sees this post and finds something new that they like.

It seems like the other states already required everyone to upgrade years ago, but we've barely started here?

My retired MIL got a letter from her power provider, saying they came out but couldn't install a smart meter as the board was asbestos. Non compliant and the whole board needs replacing by an L2 etc etc. Which seems to all be true, fair enough.

I'll take care of her (If you service the Blue Mountains city council area and are willing to deal with me remotely over the phone I am happy for you to recommend yourself).

But hypothetically...if she was by herself and couldn't afford it...what would happen?

Legally in NSW I mean. Aside from house fires and mesothelioma.

I've had a couple of games recently where I excused my win to my opponent as "lucky". I meant what I said - I made critical moves (ko threat, or trying to make life) that I hadn't completely calculated, and were guesses or desperate flailing, and they turned out to be strong, and have effects I hadn't seen at all. So I believed it was a lucky win.

I don't mean to boast and say I make these moves all the time - I definitely do the opposite and do "lots" of calculation and make what I'm convinced is a certain forcing or killing move, and it turns out to have been a huge mistake, because there was a refutation I hadn't thought of. But you wouldn't say that was an unlucky move - it's simply a mistake.

I thought I was being a bit gracious and complimentary, saying I won because of luck. But is it actually a bit disrespectful and an asshole thing to say?

Does luck exist on the board, or do you think you can attribute a "lucky" move to good intuition?
