Fuck it all. They're just arbitrary numbers, really.

Saved myself a 35km round trip to an out-lying library branch: they have the only audiobook version of a certain novel.
But I have the Bolinda BorrowBox app. I was able to download it onto the iPod Touch.

Australian trivia: Inhabitants of the New South Wales District of Port Phillip city of Melbourne learned of their independence by reading a copy of the Times, delivered by ship on Nov 11th, 1850.
The Australian Colonies Government Act required NSW to cede its rich southern pasturelands to a new colony named Victoria, which would be ruled from Melbourne.
The news was contained in a small article on page 5, nestled between notice of an amendment to the Dog Act and an advert for an impotence cure.
This would appear to be an open admission that the ambulance servive just can't cope with the load. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/ambulance-victoria-calls-for-citizen-firstresponders-to-help-respond-to-critical-triple0-medical-emergencies/news-story/32d69f8bd4198970b64dba4722467943
TIL my 2005 2.3 GHz dual-core G5 PowerMac outperformed a Dell with a 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 under a specific Adobe photo processing test. It was significantly out-doing the Dell by a factor of 57%.
Numbers aren't everything.

@streakmachine Suzuki have a new iteration of the Ignis Sport coming out this year. It's a tall, narrow, short 2WD mini-SUV weighing around 800 kg & powered by a 1.2-litre engine.
Absolutely nothing like the previous Ignis Sport like the 2006 one I had.

Virtually every suburb has a particular supermarket chain outlet, but of those I can only think of two in a 45km radius that make a certain flat bread that's extra soft compared to normal pita breads. I visited one such shop today: I also bought some red onion & green capsicum which I've cut to 2mm thick with the new deli slicer.
I have some cheese & roast turkey also sliced to that size.
Dinner tonight will be what I call pizza rollups.
Tomato, then sliced cheese, turkey, capsicum & onion strewn over a flat bread that's rolled up & heated in a microwave oven.
With a wet-hopped oatmeal ale (marketed as WHOA! by the brewer).
