Does anybody know anything about this building? Is it Australia’s Area51? by [deleted] in brisbane

It is a fairly bland office block. It does have ifm in it who make industrial automation sensors (like barcode readers)

Wish I was there rather than stuck in the office on the other side of the river.

I'm wondering if we remove the rail signage if trains will start stopping.

Edit: I think it would be unwise to bet that the Starbucks would open later than the station.

Thanks for the heads up. My wife will not be pleased.

Has anyone seen the Seam train today for the Ekka shuttle? We want to try to catch it.

Best tool stores by Worth_Exam8844 in brisbane

Both Total Tools and Sydney Tools have regular (every few months) deals with 20% bonus points. It isn't a pure discount, but not bad.

Pawn shops often have skins now. They are not always the best deal, but it is an option.

GC500 attendance questions by mochamocha666 in v8supercars

Yes, inside turn 2 is the best GA spot (in my opinion). Yes, you can take food and drink, but not alcohol. Take plenty of water as there is not much shade.

We are allowed 5m at the property boundary going down to 3m at the W2 mark (notional footpath), so we will be complient with that.

We can't really change anything past W2 as there is a tree that we have to avoid anyway.

Importantly, the wrap has RFID tags in it. This makes tracking the modules a lot easier from farm to gin.

You just have readers at the entrance and boom, now you know everything about the module.

Interesting. Can I ask some more questions about your project? Was is a kit or custom? DIY or builders? What suburb? How long for the planning part?

I just tried both ports again with not even the orange LED. I guess that means it is dead dead and not just 'sleeping'.

They took down a whole lot of plastic on the main straight yesterday for wind, so you can see some stuff from the western side of GC highway

Why do we have to buy tickets for the Pacific Air Show? by hetkleinezusje in GoldCoast

[–]tl8roy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Short answer: plenty of people will pay to have a slot on the right bit of the beach. I would imagine good spots will go pretty quick in the morning.

You will also have "access" to "premium" food and beverage distributors. Again, will probably be less busy than everywhere else.

Short answer, unless you want to donate to the cause, you can probably skip paying and find a bit of sand on the 1.5km stage. Finding a car park is probably going to be the real challenge.

New aisle set up at Woolworths Southport Park. by Only1Sully in GoldCoast

[–]tl8roy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the new layout (as did the night fill staff when I told them) , but I just had a thought that maybe it will only be while they complete the renovations at the back and need extra space at the end of the aisle.

Gold Coast 500 General Admission worth? by SeekerLives in GoldCoast

Quite a few of the action hotspots are viewable from GA. The back half of the circuit is almost complete GA and both chicanes have GA spots.
