I watched the first few races when the series was introduced in 2014(?) but haven't really watched it since.
If you had to pick your favourite 2 or 3 races from the last two seasons as a recommendation, what would you pick?
Doing an overnight in Seoul, flying in from ICN and flying out from GMP the next day.
Anyone found a luggage service that goes from one airport to the other? All the ones I've contacted will go airport to hotel and back, but not between airports.
Oh god please please please let this be true. Edit - major news sources are picking it up. Wooo!

Journo Michael Pascoe lays out 5 points of how Anthony Albanese has taken one of the largest Labor seat leads and done...not that much with it.
Despite presiding over 94 of the 150 seats in Federal Parliament, it turns out Anthony Albanese isn’t much of a politician, writes Michael Pascoe.
Given the combination of circumstances and opposition leaders he has faced, Anthony Albanese should go down as the luckiest Labor leader ever, verily the Steven Bradbury of Australian politics.
There’s nothing wrong with being lucky in politics or life. The problem now emerging, though, is more evidence that Albo simply isn’t very good at his job and will need the luck of facing a rabble opposition to continue to hold it.
Albanese has done well by twice posing a small election target and pursuing largely incremental reforms across Labor’s core strengths of health, industrial relations and housing, with a little budget repair and tax/superannuation tweaking on the side. That’s been more than enough to win the political game, given the quality of the competition: post-COVID Morrison, Dutton with Trump, Ley (if anyone remembers) and now Taylor.
An interesting read from former High Commissioner, now former Deputy Chair of the Canberra Writers Festival.
He lays out how the National Press Club has been compromised from it's previous open and honest status. Most interesting was this quote about sponsorship:
>"...more than a quarter of the Club’s sponsors are part of, or work for, the global arms industry"
External political influence from foreign states and billionaires have managed to get their fingers into every part of our media, lawmakers, politicians and police. This is just one of many examples.
Michael West Media successfully had their lawsuit by BHP dropped today, with Simon Turner's case still underway.
The allegations that BHP are trying to squash are massive - billions in payments to miners avoided by using shell companies. Bogan Intelligentsia (great name) has the full story, definitely worth a click and a read.
Hats off to Michael West Media, had BHP successfully sued them we would have lost one of our very rare true independent media sources.
I have the dreaded E0042 Leveling Sensor Not Triggered error. The wiki tells you to replace an entire board which seems excessive, and every guide I've found on manually adjusting the bed is for the AD5M model.
Anyone managed to fix this themselves?
A fair few comments in this sub recently about calling for a Royal Commission into various subjects. We've had 5 in the last 6 years with the current one still underway:
Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicides
Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability
Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme
Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements (Bushfires)
Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety
Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion
What would you like to see the Governor General trigger a commissions of inquiry into?
My vote would be an investigation into Domestic Violence - I suspect it would highlight issues with emergency housing shortages and a level of apathy from the police.
