Nah, I'm good.

I don't care if beaches are roads. My point is that beaches should not be roads.

I was over on Moreton Island recently and walking south of the resort. Didn't see any of your claimed warning signage. Just utes and 4wds tearing the shit out of the beach from the water line up to where the trees start. A beautiful beach in a beautiful spot away from all the crowds but I've got to be watching my kids like a hawk to make sure some idiot doesn't kill one of them and then try to blame me for daring to walk with my kids down to the sand dunes.

I don't care if it's legal, it shouldn't be. Why does everything have to be turned into yet more space exclusively for vehicles. Especially pristine beaches.

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.

Yeah upper management at our work is. That's pretty much verbatim what they said during a recent meeting to "encourage" staff to come in 3 days a week.

They're usually electric assisted though; no problems with hills.

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?
