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

Nah, I'm good.

I don't care if beaches are roads. My point is that beaches should not be roads.

I was over on Moreton Island recently and walking south of the resort. Didn't see any of your claimed warning signage. Just utes and 4wds tearing the shit out of the beach from the water line up to where the trees start. A beautiful beach in a beautiful spot away from all the crowds but I've got to be watching my kids like a hawk to make sure some idiot doesn't kill one of them and then try to blame me for daring to walk with my kids down to the sand dunes.

I don't care if it's legal, it shouldn't be. Why does everything have to be turned into yet more space exclusively for vehicles. Especially pristine beaches.

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!

I really hope he can, it would be cool to see

I hope his season goes well, but I also feel like in 100 years time there will be ghost stories telling of the Ghost of Cav, haunting the TdF peloton, searching for that last elusive stage win.

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.
