@brisbot A building near me has had its fire alarm going since about noon yesterday. Three short high-pitched blasts in quick succession, followed by a brief ~1 second pause. *Non-stop*. Even with windows closed I can still hear it. And I am going fucking *crazy*.

@Nath never been myself. Never really desired to. Driven past one a few times, but there are only a handful of them in Brisbane, way out in the boonies. I’d rather go to my local GYG.

@No1 it’s a shame the debates are limited to only Labor and the LNP. At the last election, 1 in 3 Aussies voted third party or independent, so it would have been good to have more viewpoints represented. That’s why there were calls on social media yesterday for #IncludeAdam.

@bfg9k the Aussie tradition of a kebab after a night’s out is defo superior

@brisbane also on Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.au/p/jimcullen/811878831114527157

@wildwhitehorses I doubt any state has ever had a leader worse than Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

@trk
> Good thing we have Liberals in power now who are on the side of small business

It’s a BCC project. Liberals have been in power since its inception.

@No1 @Rivalarrival yes, please. Always remove the si tracking bs.

@some_guy you can love it again! Age of Mythology: Retold, a Definitive Edition–like remaster of the original AoM is out now (if you buy the Premium Edition—which also includes the first two expansions, one of which will be Chinese—or later today it releases for people with the standard edition).

And it’s really really fun!

@brisbane It’s supposed to be winter!! (Or at least, was just yesterday.) Darn weather was up over 30 degrees.

Run’s 24.1 km total, took about 2:10 of running time, plus a fair few pauses to make sure I was still on track.

@ada wow that’s stunning! Way better than any of the shots I got.

@Zagorath I had to Google that, but yeah it does.

@SubArcticTundra ha! Yeah that’s a common refrain when non-Brisbaners (especially Americans) see photos of Riverfire. They’re not actually flying anywhere near that close to buildings—they go over the river.

@Zozano it’s not so much fuck me, as fuck the entire Brisbane population.

@Pistcow not confirmed that this will be tolled, but it’s going to start from the end of one existing toll road which, yes, was built by a mix of public & private funds and is now privately-owned and tolled. I expect this will be the same.

But my objection is *primarily* about the fact that it’s being built at all, rather than about who’s paying for it, per se. Even if both are bad.

@brisbane this announcement comes right in the middle of widening Gympie into an 8-lane monstrosity through this section. It needs a *serious* road diet. One 24/7 bus lane in each direction, a bike lane in each direction, and it would *still* be a 4 lane major road. But instead, we get peak-hour-only bus lanes and you can navigate some winding back streets (give way every time you cross *any* road!) if you wanna cycle to Chermside.

@coaxil Nikon D7500, some on a 55–200 mm f/4.0–5.6 lens, others on the 18–55 mm f/3.5–5.6 kit lens my older D3100 came with.

@coaxil I posted to this community from my Mastodon if you wanna go find that, but also here’s a direct link to the Pixelfed posts I *wanted* to link:

@brisbane I couldn’t figure out how to get them to post directly from Pixelfed to Lemmy how I wanted, unfortunately, so I’m posting a link to that from here.

And it also doesn’t seem that my double x-post to pics worked. 🤷‍♂️

@trk conveniently, I only noticed the fog because I went outside to bring in the washing, and discovered it was *soaked*.
