Agree, I’ll vote for you at the next election solely on this platform alone.

It could, but beaches aren’t roads. What if someone was sunbaking or laying on the sand in an area they thought was safe? Are they allowed to be.run over because they weren’t keeping a close eye on every vehicle movement in the vicinity?

In my experience, vehicles don’t stick to any one particular “lane” on a beach so allowing them to use it as a road means the beach is now entirely unusable for anyone who is not in a vehicle.

You shouldn’t have to post a guard to ensure a member of your family is able to enjoy a beach without fear of someone in a vehicle killing them.

Yeah upper management at our work is. That’s pretty much verbatim what they said during a recent meeting to “encourage” staff to come in 3 days a week.

They’re usually electric assisted though; no problems with hills.

Agree but vote that the vehicles are called “beetles”, and the collective noun for them be “a showbag” for a real qld ekka tie-in

Nothing is worth a ride home on a bus in wet jocks!

We visited Arlington Cemetry around November and damn, the shades of red as winter approaches make for some stunning scenery.

Nice of the weather to give us a brief taste of summer before returning to regular service.

Realised I need to clean the aircon filters.

Maybe tomorrow is not the best day to get home then:

For one day only!

Happy Saturday all… I’m off to bed

Yeah this is what I’m thinking.

File storage, jellyfin and migrating a few docker applications to it from the random raspberry pis I’ve got laying around.

Similarly ‘Slow Children’ seems a bit insulting in this day and age.

RIP microservers. Mine is still hanging on… just.

In the same boat, I think I got mine originally for ~$300. The current versions are ~$2K!!!

Am thinking of moving to an 8 bay synology NAS to replace it when it gives up the ghost. Agree with you re the price of NAS. Not a lot going on inside them, no idea why they have to be so expensive.

First.

Why is it cold again?!?

I was hoping he was going to measure the claimed temperature accuracy, since a big part of it was the ability to switch it on and make an espresso straight away.

The stated hope was that this technology would be able to trickle down, but he also provided examples of extremely cheap machines that could already do the same thing (but that produce shitty coffee) so I’m assuming the technology he’s hoping trickles down is the ability to quickly and accurately heat water?

Well that’s friggin adorable.

An efficient use of their time. I can see why the governing party would want to prevent the use of the term “lies” though.

Haven’t had to deal with them recently but their website says a 5 business day average processing time or you can pay an extra $32 to have them turn it around in 2 days.

Last time we were over there we stayed at the Bellagio in Vegas. One guy took our suitcases from the reception desk (and expected a tip), but a different guy was the one who brought them to our room… he also expected a tip.
