and then back up to 100+MB/s after half an hour of crawl...

Windows. Again. Happily copying ssd to external hdd at 100MB/s. Decides to drop to 5MB/s and stays there.

 

Was there a whole bunch of small files on there to copy? Normally slows down for these type of operations.

Half big, like 4 or 5GB and half small, like 70KB.

Don't know why its fast, then slow, then fast, though the slow down seemed to coincide with Windows deciding the spin up two external HDDs, for no reason I could see.

its slow doing the small files and fast doing the big ones.

It was cycling a bit, but I only noticed while it was at the slower speed. So it wasn't cycling between 100MB/s and 5MB/s depending on file size. It went from 100 to 5 (with excursions up to 20 for the big files I presume), then back up to 100, so three stages while it was copying 130 files.

Tight-wads at the Mitre10 sausage sizzle.

Yesterday fund-raising for some childrens group, matters not what exactly.

$2 for a sausage in a bread with t-sauce and onions.

But they've run out of onions.

So the guy ahead of me wants a discount, and does not give up until he gets a free drink.

I watched him walk back to his Audi Q7.

Four zeros on the bonnet and one behind the wheel.

Water leak from meter in Bryndwr, Christchurch that has been there since probably about October last year. It is a good flow, not just a dribble.

We have used the council Snap,Send,Solve app a couple of times to try and get this waste of water resolved.

All that has happened is a cone and a channel dug for the water to run into the gutter.

No, No I don't. Seeing as they're likely to be pics I put there to post on some forum 10 years ago, and I forgot I even had an account, I don't need this email 3 times a week! 

MadEngineer: At an event a week ago the ring road to the popular location as set as one way. The parking spaces were full and cars ended up parking on both sides of the road for a few KM.

It was blindingly obvious that they’d made the roads in and out as one way with a nice big sign and advertising leading up to it, yet on my way out there were still numpties that completed a 10 point u-turn while holding up traffic, only to find they had to do it all in reverse again as traffic started backing up with their exit blocked.
