Young girl 'unresponsive' after being run over by ute on popular Queensland island
  • 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.

    A LifeFlight spokesperson says the rear and front wheels of a ute rolled over the girl at low speed on K'gari before her father performed CPR on her.

    Vehicles should be banned from driving on beaches. Change my mind.

  • 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.

  • James Hoffmann: The $20,000 Espresso Machine, The Manument: The Swiss Watch Of Lever Espresso Machines -
  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Moving Boxes?

    We're moving home soon... Any suggestions on where to get boxes cheap?

    Went to bunnings but they want $4 each for some flimsy shit cardboard boxes.
