Q292640261046a:

Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?

Sorry should clarify - the rainforest road was marked with this sign from the article.
So yes a maximum of 100, but due to the nature of the road there’s no way you could do over that without killing yourself. Most of the time, you’d only have time to get up to 60 (if that) before another blind bend.

It just felt nice not to have to worry about speed and focus on the road, because here in Australia they’d have a posted speed limit way too slow and a speed trap around each bend.

One of the best drives I’ve done is from Queenstown (on the lightning bolt lake) up the west coast to Greymouth (on the north west coast where the snowcaps stop, the plain there).

Beautiful scenery - you’d be driving (no speed limit, so you can concentrate on the bends) through rainforest one minute and then emerge onto a vast river delta with a giant wooden bridge, then back into forest, then out onto a plain with towering snowcapped mountains above you, then back into forest, then pop out at a beautiful beach.

Never experienced anything like it, it’s one of my favourite memories of my trip to NZ.

Very wet here too in Queensland Australia - seems like our summer was marked with rain and regularly toppling daily minimum (and some maximum) temp records.

Stand corrected, every motherboard I’d had experience with had it connected to a post buzzer.
Never thought there be a case where it wouldn’t be included, as it was essential back then (I’m of the mind they still should, as well as power and activity leds, which seem to have disappeared from laptops)

Well older to a point. Go back to to anytime before late 2000s and every board had a speaker!

On the other hand, an argument for uniforms would be that they remove a whole raft of problems with grey areas.

Without a uniform, you’d need to have a policy about ‘acceptable’ clothing - profanity, slogans, sun safety, workplace safety etc which would all be up to interpretation by students and an administration.
And you know that students would push the boundaries, and the ‘line’ would be constantly redrawn every week.
How short is too short on sleeves? What words are inappropriate on shirts?

Uniforms remove this - you’re either in the approved uniform, or you aren’t.

Just a rant from me - every one of the videos in the ‘breaking news’ section of my YouTube is about this. No problem with that.

But every single one of those videos is from Sky News - we’re talking 7 videos - and have a guess what they have to say about it!

How is that equitable YouTube? For reference, I don’t think it’s an algorithm thing because I never watch sky videos. Mainly ABC ones.

To add to this, when the trademark lapsed in the 90s, Burger King America actually opened BK branded stores here in an attempt to push out the Australian franchise holder (hungry jacks).
BK lost the legal case, had to pay a heap of money and decided to leave Australia, transferring all the bk stores to Hungry jacks.

Even then the 67 referendum wasn’t about voting rights

Something I’d read/listened to recently suggested that it might have more of a detrimental affect on Dutton when it comes to the election - people will remember his campaigning during this, and be really turned off it when voting for a leader. On the other hand, Albanese has done some work towards keeping his leadership separate from the outcome of the result.

My old house in Brisbane was in a place designed like this, and this part of it was great.

Every house was crammed together, zeroed garages etc, but they’d deliberately left plenty of old growth in place when they were planning/clearing and turned them into places for parks.
There were wide footpaths everywhere, and you travelled at most two small blocks till there was a park with benches, nice big trees and some room to spread out. Some had BBQs and play equipment for kids too. We were always walking everywhere.

As well as looking great and being useful, the green areas felt like they kept the temperature down in the estate. This is compared to some other estates that went up about the same time, where no old trees were left and everything was cleared for just houses - they felt several degrees hotter.

Yes! Respawn actually released a patch the other week and there’s 1000s playing again.

Titanfall 2 is an amazing game. It’s single player is one of the best - it never gets stale as there’s always a new mechanic, both as a ‘pilot’ (soldier) or in a titan, to master or a twist you didn’t see coming. The story itself is top notch, and it’s length is good.

If I remember right, you can pause at anytime, even in cutscenes. They’re not long though.

Plus, the multiplayer has been fixed just recently so you can vs others in some of the best feeling combat any game has to offer.

I’ve never played the others though, so feel free to go with them.

Probably too late for some of it. From what I’ve read, Joyce has let the competition leap frog then by not keeping up with infrastructure and replacing old planes.

It’s going to require a lot of capital to fix that. Maybe they can just ask the government though.

Well and the fact that smokers will rely more heavily on the free health system - it’s in the government’s interest to prevent people smoking to save money.

‘of all time’ - hmmm the earliest item on the list is the newton from the 90s, but then everything else is firmly in the last 20 years.

Perhaps I should’ve been more specific - the Insiders twitter had been shut down since near the start of the year.

The first four (at least) episodes of the show featured no mention of the royal Commission, which at the time was releasing damning findings and testimony what seemed like every few days. It was big news - just not on Insiders, where they can actually interview those part of it.

The insiders Twitter was full of people pointing out the lack of coverage, with no acknowledgement except for an abrupt shut down.

Really felt reminiscent of the ‘don’t mention NBN’ in Q+A years ago.

But they’re leaving their two main accounts - news and sports - on Twitter? The two things that people really use the ABC for?

Sounds like an ‘exit’ to me.

Interesting that they point out closing the Insiders account - from my perspective it seemed like running away from viewers who were begging them to actually ask relevant questions of guests, such as the live royal Commission that didn’t get a mention for 4 weeks.
