@deepred i would put money on it being your motherboard

 

So far it's leaning towards the mobo or PSU. Both are a bit out of the 3-year warranty period.

The person who rear ended me whilst I was sat at the lights on my motorcycle this afternoon. 

“I saw the lights go green and I thought you’d gone”!!

 This is not Santa Pod Raceway. The sequence isn’t “red light, green light, dump clutch and floor it”!

I have to say that I prefer the UK light sequence which goes red, red + amber, green as it gives more warning of the pending green and possibly (🤞) additional time for people to look in front of them before booting it off the line. 

Now my bike needs a new number plate hanger and a careful check in the dealer to ensure nothing less obvious is damaged or out of alignment. 

I have my 6R assessment coming up soon and I can’t take it on a bike that’s not road legal.

They had some temporary lights near me once that did that. They were great, but only lasted a day or two before being reconfigured to go straight from red to green.

Red plus orange means get ready; orange alone means start braking (and don't go back to full throttle 😁). I’ve never known it any other way (except on taxiways for aircraft).

The way that ad breaks have crept into the greatest sporting tournament of all, through strategic "hydration breaks", along with other well-placed interruptions. 
Thanks, USA! USA! USA! for inflicting your particular brand of consumerism on actual civilised world.

The way that sports news has crept into the regular news. Thanks TV1 for making even that brief half-hour irritating as hell for those of us who don't care about sports. At all.

I don't think that's a new thing.  Last time I can recall watching the news about 15 or more years ago I was annoyed by the main news having sportsball "news" despite the programme having an entire following half hour for sports.

Yeah, I understand it. I guess the main bulletin is used to talk about the biggest things happening in NZ.  I too am a big sports fan, and I would be happy for sport to be entirely contained, however, there are some things, like if we were to win a tournament entirely (RWC or whatnot) where there could be an argument it meets the greater public interest. 

There are lots of big news things I couldn't care less about, but I still have to listen to them to get to the news I actually care about. Sometimes I'd like more coverage of one thing and another. 

Handsomedan:

 

I agree with this and I'm a rabid sportsball fan. 
To have sports in the main bulletin is ridiculous, when there's a section dedicated to it, that people who have no interest in sports can avoid, it should be compartmentalised. Like the weather, I suppose. 

They are not catering to anyone on here, they are making the program for people who have no ability to consume content any other way. That is why all the ads are for funerals, boner pills, joint pain supplements and other things that retired people can be sold.

Have you considered their youtube channels where they chop the broadcasts up with titles that you can see before watching? Almost like its a better delivery method than linear.

All the ads are for Trivago. Don't know what Universe you are watching in.

I banned youtube a long time ago. Got sick of all the fake clickbait stuff.

I'm just seeing what is on when I go to a friends place who has his elders with him who insist on watching it no matter what else is going on in the world.

TBH we try to avoid being there around that time because its so infuriating how they are manipulated by the crap and get all worked up, but they insist on watching it so nothing that can be done.
