    Police turn away dozens of cars trying to get into Queensland

    Close to 50 vehicles were stopped from entering Queensland illegally yesterday, police have said.

    Despite the rules people are still trying to cross from NSW into the state.

    But police say the number of people trying to get in, numbers are dropping.

    Police said there were 2600 vehicles stopped along the border with 48 of them refused entry.

    Four people were put into hotel quarantine.

    Police have once again pleaded with drivers to have the correct forms when trying to enter the state.

    I probably do that most often. Too easy.

    Stupid easy, if....

    ...you and SWMNBN enjoy the same level of doneness.

    Mrs. George likes her steak like a hockey puck. I prefer medium rare.

    So for us when it's steak night, I sous-vide mine to about 125 degrees, and I put hers in the oven at 225 degrees for about an hour. If I overcook hers, she's delighted (I know, I know).

    Then, sear away for both of our steaks.

    The Browser Tab is at the far top/left on my Chrome browser. This is where I see a logo that appears to be a backward blue B and a blue B.

    I believe the red number there is the count of unread replies for you.

    This is a reply for cats

    Cats, you should have seen the red number before you red this. Now it should be gone.

    @klaus said in eBikes aren't exercise.:

    I don't know your heartbeat profile, but at least the second calorie number looks rather high. If I'd pedal for 42 min with 123 beats avg, I'd definitely burn less than 457 calories.

    Doesn't matter. The point is that eBikes are indeed exercise. Just not necessarily hardcore cardio exercise.

    They fixed it already

    He was born Yacov Moshe Maza in Sheboygan, Wis., on June 9, 1928, to immigrants from Belarus, although other sources give the year as 1931.
