The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Holiday season is upon us. Just watched a wasted dude face plant onto the street while trying to put a pill out of his baggie. He kept digging in the bag rather than get out of the bus lane. Certainly didn't seem to feel the damage and went on his merry way when his buddies came back to get him.

We Have Important Work To Do
I just remembered out of the blue one of my favourite movies. It's ostensibly a nature doc about the cane toad plague but it has this weird vibe where it's kind of a goofy horror comedy? Never seen anything else like it and everyone interviewed is a weird person with weird thoughts about cane toads

Think they made a shot for shot remake with all the barehanded handling of cane toads removed because that is not something you should suggest as a good or okay idea because they are pretty poisonous

This poo poo really annoyed me when I drove around Australia a couple of years back - online maps basically have no way of determining "this road exists but is absolutely not something that should be recommended". As far as it's concerned, the road exists and probably has a speed limit of 80 or 100 kph so therefore it will be the quickest way.

Constantly relying on GPS but having to second-guess it as well was super annoying.

This has blown up a bit, but the truth of the matter is that the maps apps are correct.

The old road is perfectly fine, especially at the times of year when tourists would be travelling in that area (nobody goes to the Wheatbelt in winter), and it's a few kilometers shorter and skips a town. (Hmm, I wonder why the town council put the sign up?)

If you don't want to travel on an unsealed road, then you can follow the sign suggestion.

They do, because they record the speed of people following that route and use it to adjust route weightings.

So a local pinging along a gravel road at 90 in their Landcruiser makes a good recommendation for an 85 year old towing a caravan behind a Kia

People towing caravans don't need their GPS to tell them to do the wrong thing at all times.
