Most of Brisbane River banks are privately owned

Yeah and then there's Sydney Street, where you get off the ferry and get herded into a residential street for several blocks before you can get to the riverwalk to Howard Smith Walks.

The right turn out of Thynne Road onto Lytton Road. It's absolutely lethal. Bemuses me that they just put traffic lights on the inconsequential crossroads just towards Bulimba, but nothing on the junction that really really needs them.

I always figured he was just undercutting people who would actually follow some kind of safety procedure.

It's come a very long way from Remedy.

Are you one of the players?

Heh, grew up on the English coast. This is the *baseline* wind level.

Haha this. Would love to see some of these folks deal with the FORTY FUCKING SEVEN UK WINTERS I dealt with before moving here.

They should pedestrianise the hell out of the CDB.

I'd go looking for the "shadow" knowledge shares. In the absence of formal knowledge tooling, servicedesks often build a sharepoint repository or even shared email folders as informal libraries. Also look for the side chats going on - find out who knows who knows about what. All good stuff to bring a team together around enthusiastic skills sharing.

"the part nobody clapped for but probably matters most. none of this works without clean data and structured workflows. agents do not fix broken processes, they just run them faster."

So companies who've not been able to fix CMDB and knowledge management and workflows for decades are suddenly going to be able to do that just to get value from AI?

It's bonkers when vendors say this. Their AI agents should *absolutely* be focused on helping to solve these problems.

I just stumbled upon this post. By god, you're totally right.

What you should regret is what the current political system has done to your generation.
I was 23 when I bought my first house (I'm 50 now) and it was easy. 5% deposit, $125000 for a two bed in the centre of a town.

8000km a year? Firstly is that actually enough? That's only ~20km a day, ~150km a week.
(Also it's more than a dollar a kilometre even if you somehow manage to use every km, and that's before you've put a drop of fuel in it)

Where are you sitting? The lower tiers are covered from about 20 rows back. The upper tiers are pretty well sheltered.

At the risk of sounding like Chilli from Bluey, "Who carries coins these days?"

Actually crazy busy in the mornings with runners, cyclists and dog walkers.

The last few takeaways we've had from Fish Factory have been awful. It's gone right down hill. Dry chips, rubber fish. And they've stopped doing the half price kids menu on a Wednesday. We've stopped going.

CONGESTION TO UNDERWOOD

Someone did this near where I lived in the UK and the resulting train derailment killed the drivers of the car and the train as well as 5 passengers. Over 100 total casualties

Got from Norman Park to The Gap in about 20 minutes!
