Shopping carts with swiveling rear wheels are F@$^king stupid!

They're much easier to control in the store, but harder to control in the parking lot, and vice versa for ones that swivel just at the front. I miss the all 4 swivelling trolleys they have in Australia.

I'm seriously not trying to get into an argument about shopping cart design. And I respect your attachment to Aussie swivelcarts. Still, I have to disagree on the point that they are easier to control in the store. When you have a cart with four swivel casters filled with a heavy load, and you get it up to speed, those wheels provide no assistance when you try to redirect the cart's momentum around a corner. It's a danger to shins and container goods.
It's like you are hurtling out of control in the ship from the game Asteroids rather than swooping around in an X-Wing.


You just need practice. After a while, you'll be jumping on the back wheels and drifting sideways down the aisles like a pro

I think we can underestimate the barriers to online purchasing that normal people perceive. I know people aged in their 30s who love comedy, film and tv but who cannot work out how to torrent let alone buy entertainment products online. They are beholden to the content of their local video shop for entertainment. It seems incredible, but it's true.


This is very true for a huge portion of population, the older set in particular. My Mother in law looks at our setup, with my media server and XBMC showing all these movies and tv shows in an easy to navigate environment and says "I want that, can I get that?"

And I want to be able to tell her "Yeah, sure"... but there's no way she'll ever be able to get the torrents herself. There's too much, just ingrained, knowledge there about how to spot a fake torrent from a real one, what things NOT to click, what's safe to click etc. Sure she can navigate XBMC when she's at our place, but it's the feeding of that with content that's the problem.

But she wants it, most people want it, they want the ability to watch what show they want when they want. I have a PVR, sure, but I've largely given up trying to record things, as I go to all the effort of setting up the weekly timer only to find part way through the series, when we're finally watching it, they changed the time/night. I know Tivo handles all of that, and that's pretty damn awesome, but it also doesn't help if you find out about a show after it's started airing.

We want to consume your material, huge mega corporations, we're actually willing to pay for it. But with your DRM, your fucking around with show schedules ALL the damn time, your forcing us to watch anti piracy ads and trailers on DVDs/BluRays WE PAID FOR... you just really don't get it. You don't get your market, and for that reason you should fail and die off. Let people who know how to SERVE others step in and give us what we want.

Louis CK just took in over Half a MILLION dollars in 3 days... using grass root style marketing only. Maybe you should take a look at that.

(By 'You', of course I mean the large corps, not you kymbos )

Nah, looks like they're just a bit mangled... ; )

On the plus side, the guys still have a video camera, a trolley and an esky full of beer so they can always go find two unmarred women and try it again...
