hsvhel: Walked into an elevator last night, outgoing passenger said good luck.
It dawned on me as the doors closed…..ass, a wall of ass.
Got the look for all the other incoming passengers on the way down to the car
Well played mystery person, well played…

 

Hmm - I’ve read this several times but still fail to understand what it’s about. What do you mean by “… ass, a wall of ass“? What happened? Would be pleased if you could explain for the dullard.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I take it the prior occupant of the lift dumped gas before exiting!

There was a BBW meeting in the same building?

Even in 2023 when AMD have been a big deal for a long time and considered mainstream, the same driver, compatibility and stability issues that were such a nightmare for people 20 years ago are still a problem. 

 

I have this amazing laptop, it's lightweight, super fast, lovely screen and has an exceptional battery life, but it's been months plagued with issues (Since the day I got it). I genuinely believe it wouldn't have these issues if it was Intel. 

 

I have been assured a new notebook of the same type won't help one IOTA.

Wellington water not fixing leaks - one down the road is going at somewhere between 50 and 100L per min. Best guess is 1.2m litres in the last 11 days…

We found a cockroach in our kettle at work this morning and all of us had finished at least half of our morning coffees or tea.




You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

Well don't keep us in suspense, what did the tea taste like?

With the added benefit of extra protein. Sterile as well most likely.

I was approaching the exit of a carpark, clearly on my side of the lanes, when a "classic Ranger driver" swung in from the road super wide and went all the way over my lane. Since I was right there and now couldn't go anywhere, they became miffed when I didn't reverse for them.

 

It's not my fault that you put yourself in that positon in the first place mate, but apparently it was my fault and therefore was worthy of receiving the one-finger salute.

While the turning radius of utes aren't great, it's certainly better than what old mate pulled off!

This might be in the thread already but, MIL moving into a new house today and the previous owner has taken the ONT power supply.

 

It was there yesterday when we did a quick walk through....

Annoying, but it's a standard 12V 5.5mm barrel jack so not too hard to replace. If you're in Orkland you can have my one since I'm running it off an immortal power supply.

It's an original molex(?) type thing not a barrel job.

 

I have a spare too, having a Constant Vigil thingy running mine.

 

This is the second time I've had it happen to me or family. I am just bemused by why people do this. Why...?!!?! It's not like you can remove the ONT it plugs in to. Yes, I know some of those end up on trademe, but if you leave the ONT why take the power supply....

Most of the ones I've seen are 8-pin. Are we talking about the same thing?
