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.

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.

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

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?

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.

Apparently Regurgitator (the band) is still around and playing shows.

Who's your favourite Bris-band?

Probably the same people that stand in queue for 20 minutes but refuse to glace at the menu to figure out what they might want until they're actively being served and are now holding up the massive line behind them.

End Old man rant.
