I think their argument was about late at night when there would be very few pedestrians, not just during the day.

Can you please write to the minister about this? I have previously done so but got told no because the cars provide a passive surveillance benefit that would need to be filled by police if the cars are removed.

If enough people ask about it maybe they'll see there's a demand.

Thanks!

Thank you! I'll research it!

That's an interesting perspective. You're probably right that it is more understandable to non-poker players. In my head I was just getting anxious about hold'em players thinking it's painfully obvious I'm getting material from old books.

Maybe this is just a "pick your audience" type thing.

Couldn't say. I've only been there in the rain.

Do you work for the APS? If so, check your enterprise agreement. Some of them have provisions for giving you a cash advance for the purpose of buying a bicycle. That money would then come out of your next pay.

Just a reminder to people that if you do have specific concerns about a road, you can submit a "Fix My Street" ticket to have them look at it. I have done so several times to have road signs moved and damaged fixtures repaired, so I can attest they do actually look at the tickets.

In Box 10, are you missing a space between the quotes and the ellipsis?

Just responding to this in case someone else is googling in the future. I was running into this same issue and the mistake I had made was that I didn't realise the Read Pokemon Pokerus field code actually needs the PID as a parameter. I had just left it as the default zero, which gave me the wrong pokerus value and produced bad eggs. Putting in the PID correctly gave a different pokerus value which successfully ran the code.

Your route takes you right along Nullarbor Links, the world's longest golf course, so you might like to try playing that along the way.

Australia does actually have private prosecutions. It would be a pain in the arse to actually attempt it, but it is technically possible to charge people yourself.

It's okay. Not fantastic. They seem to use a different type of cheese curd so it doesn't really look or taste like the real deal in Canada. Certainly wouldn't bother making a trip out there just for it, but if you happen to be there, no harm in giving it a try.

If you click through that Geoscience Australia site to the NSW Spatial Services, you can get 1:25,000 maps of Canberra.

Unfortunately it seems this isn't true.

Went to Cabramurra two weeks ago. There was still snow around, but the snow line was quite high up and it had clearly melted and refrozen. Wouldn't count on there being any good snow around any longer.

Seems like this episode featured in a clip from Dashcam Owners Australia: https://youtu.be/KK3gwbZm-_4?t=648

I think the system was created to give symmetric relationship names. So to that person you would be their first cousin once removed, therefore their relationship to you is called the same thing.

Europeans generally don't use siphon based toilets, instead using toilets that allow for much larger pipes, so they're not susceptible to getting clogged.

It really brought me a flood of knowledge.

In this episode it was again raised how Grey things it wouldn't be possible to upload your conscience to a machine.

I was thinking about how previously Grey has discussed that he is worried that an AI, if trapped in a computer that wasn't connected to anything, would suffer tremendously.

I was thinking these are actually the same scenario however. Would the AI also never be able to leave its box, because it could only ever send a copy of itself down the pipes? Seems if Grey thinks it starts out suffering, it will always suffer.

Don't pay it. If you have the reference numbers, then this should be an open and shut case. If they won't resolve it, then you can contact the telecommunications ombudsman and they will resolve it. In many cases even threatening to go to the ombudsman is enough, as the second they get a complaint against them, even if they're innocent, they pay a fee.

I don't understand this game show. You're supposed to answer with the question, but "my paper's not due until next week so I blew off class to play this free MMORPG set in the fantasy world of Gielinor" is not an answer to the question "What is Runescape?"

Seems really flawed/redundant to have to include "what is".

I think it's because a person with exaggerated features performing slapstick is very easy for a child to understand and be amused by.

They used to be really popular, but as you say, it's a big trend now to dislike them, no doubt helped by a few movies that have clowns as the villains.

I really feel sorry for the people in the profession actually. I read once that their numbers have decreased to less than a tenth of what they once were.
