I get the stress of dealing with impatient dickheads behind you, but you should absolutely be erring on the side of caution. If you think it might be a school day, slow the fuck down. School zones are generally what, a couple hundred metres? The impatient wankers in their emotional support vehicles can wait a few extra seconds.

That’s shocking.

Is it though? People speed constantly on every street or road.

EDIT: It is also possible some of them could have been 70 zones normally.

The replacement's job isn't to fix the problems, just to make it seem like they're doing something.

Oh boy, today’s going to be very moist down south 💦💦

Yeah, but what is the weather going to be like?

I still think the school needs to be moved regardless. It's tiny and it's in a terrible location. I don't know where it could be moved to that wouldn't upset people, but that doesn't change the fact that it's unsuitable.

I'm guessing that the athletics is one of the most popular sports, so they wanted it where people can get to it more easily (and also closer to the inner city area, where there's more opportunities for tourists to spend their money.)

The one in front just looks sad and resigned to their fate, but the two in back look angry.

Just saw an article on ABC about that exact thing (drip pricing.)

It must be exhausting to go anywhere in the US. You'd need cash on hand to tip people in situations where you can't just opt to add something to the amount taken off your card. I'm also opposed to the tipping culture (like most rational people) but would be acutely aware that most of the workers you'd be likely to tip are relying on them.

Custard is an obvious choice.
I went to practically every gig that george did in Brisbane back in the early 2000s, so they're definitely up there.
Cheap Fakes are also excellent.

Mostly it's through recommendations from friends, or when I frequently see people talking about a particular show in a community. For example, I discovered Hacks thanks to people in the Frasier subreddit frequently talking about how amazing Jean Smart (who was in several episodes of Frasier) is in it (she really is.)

The "Can it run Crysis" thing was purely about the fact that it was one of (if not the most) resource-intensive games out at the time. I remember it being a big jump in terms of both visual quality and the requirements to run it well.

I haven't liked a Need for Speed game since the original Most Wanted (and that was the first one since Porsche Unleashed.) I've played a few since and some were okay, but none of them have grabbed me the way the old NFS games did. I spent more time playing any of the first five NFS games individually than I have playing all of them in total since MW.

The Last of Us is definitely about the story. If you're not invested in that, you're probably not going to enjoy it. There's nothing much in the gameplay that sets it apart from similar games.

I haven't played Wasteland 2, but I quite enjoyed Wasteland 3. I've played it through a couple of times. Might be worth giving it a go?

Working today, but I just had a week off, so I can't complain too much. Plus I'm working from home, so pants aren't required.

Coffee. Always coffee.

One should always properly research the issue and come to a decision based on logic and humanity. That said, starting from the assumption that she is wrong is generally a sound strategy.

Back home after a week in Victoria. I love Melbourne, but it's nice to be home.

Two days before we left, the person who was going to be looking after our dog cancelled on us. Our next door neighbour (who I've spoken to maybe once or twice before this) agreed to pop in every day to feed him.

I want to get her something as a thank you. I know she doesn't drink, and I'd rather avoid chocolates etc., because you never know if someone has a food allergy. Will probably just go with flowers if a better idea doesn't present itself.

Fair point, but as a night person I'm definitely better at the latter.

Sitting at the airport at 6AM. What moron decided to book a 7AM flight?

Oh wait. It was me. I'm the moron.
