[mudnut]

[growler2058]

Our computer slowly died over the last week and corrupted some files.. I've spent today deleting/ sorting 13 gig of emails and took the day off to sort it all out and I'm stumped trying to get outlook access to my work emails having just connected our private emails. Grr too tired for this shit.

That's why I now run a raid system, sick of loosing everything when the hard drive fails

[coop]

Just moved house and the bloody power switches off for an hour then comes backk on for an hour without throwing any safety switches or circuit breakers, its done this six times since yesterday and its driving me nuts. :mad:

What's a raid system? Is that solid state drives?

Where abouts are you mate? And when you moved in was there power connected?
It could be a fault with the meter and the power retailer remotely attempting to switch you on?

[lhurley]

What's a raid system? Is that solid state drives?

Raid is when multiple hard drives are used to store data. The idea being that if 1 of the drives fails, the data isn't lost as it's also on the other drives. There's various ways to do raid, but that's the idea behind it.

A solid state drive is like a big USB drive or sd card. A normal hard drive has a spinning disk where as a solid state drive uses flash memory to store data. Solid state drives are substantially quicker as the computer doesn't need to "search" for the data

[Drewboyaus]

Yes but still relatively expensive for large volumes of storage. Strangely, they are also a little less reliable for long term storage and tend to fail quicker than a traditional magnetic disc. Best deployed for a partition where the OS and programs reside.

They are getting cheaper by the day now Drew. A 120 ssd can be had for around 80$. The best way for desktop pcs is to run an sad for your operating system and some of the programs you use a lot, then another old Gen drive for everything else. I run two 128gb ssd's in raid 0 ( 2 drive mirrored to run together for speed purposes only) for my operating system, another two 240gb ssd's in raid 0 to store my games then an old Gen hard drive of 2tb for all my prOn storage :)
Raid 0 has zero redundancy so if one of the two ssd's fail, you lose the lot of both drives. If you run large storage systems, what raid can offer, not raid zero though, for redundancy is really good. My NAS, for instance. Has four 4tb drives running raid. It has a fifth drive sitting there so if one dies on me, it will switch over to the spare drive and rebuild the lost data to that drive.
Sorry for getting off topic there. As for them failing quicker, it's like anything, you get what you pay for I suppose. I haven't had an ssd fail on me yet and I have been using them since the first 20gb ssd was released and it was 150$. I still have that sad too.

Had a sparky out last night and found out that some dick head had put two wires in the fuse box in the wrong place it turn out they had the power wire in where the off peak hot water wire was supposed to go and the hot water wire where the main power wire was meant to go, the sparky had it fixed in 10 minutes, talk about confusing, all good now.

Apparently not, but having said that, I run ssd's in in all my laptops (4 of them) and all desktops and HTPC's (3 of them) and had none fail. Been using them since they first came out. It would also depend on brand of SSD too. There is some cheap and probably not so trust worthy drives out there.

[Punderhead]

Had yesterday off which was great however for into work today to find my toolbox open and my tools everywhere. Know who used em but I can't prove it so I've just got to find 3 missing spanners, my hammer and centre punch, 4mm and 12.5mm drill bits, 3rd battery for my drill, and a much bigger lock for my box.

Not freaking happy jan

[coop]

Tyre Shops who have this obsession with tightening wheel nuts so tight, the Hulk would have trouble undoing them :mad:Bang Head.

Yeah but worse when they forget to tighten them at all, not many people take any pride in their work any more not to mention how bloody dangerous, that don't give a shit attitude is getting far to frequent these days. :mad:

[mudnut]

Tyre Shops who have this obsession with tightening wheel nuts so tight, the Hulk would have trouble undoing them :mad:Bang Head.

The tyre shop I use have those rated torque extensions for their rattle guns. A couple of them shattered after prolonged use. They have started using a normal extension to get the nuts tight then swapped to the rated extension. I have had no problems, but I usually check the nuts with a torque wrench at home.

Is the tyre shop the regular one you use? If it is, and they are over tightening the wheel nuts they may be weakening the studs.

Its prob worth more as a write off aswell. I doubt it will be though its not huge dents just lots.. Like one every 30 mm and its only a single cab.

Damn. The reason they did that was the circuit for the hot water is billed at a MUCH LOWER PRICE. Less than half. Very illegal to hook it up like that but expect your power bill to increase significantly. Sorry mate.

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME !! Came home and found one on-line and it's already been ordered, taking a whole 5 minutes... :(

I tried to support locally but here for most parts/IT/electronics I have to now default to on-line.

Which hose mate? The one from the turbo? I found when they get a bit old, and even double clamped they will still slip off. Happened to me. Put all new rubber hoses one and they were actually quite hard to get on. I knew these weren't coming off in a hurry.

Some w@#&$ who decides they will cut you off to pass the people doing the speed limit or just under in heavy traffic and rain and then proceed to do 10 to 20 over to make up for lost time only to find they cant get anywhere because traffic is bad ahead to not long after arrive at a red light.

Mind you feels good when you pass them further up the road cruising along on the speed limit guess its a bitter sweet deal.

do you use a big bottle and hire it??

[BigRAWesty]

only normally happens on the big jobs lol do you use a big bottle and hire it??
Yep. Priced to buy outright.
$450 and $150 refills.
A few years rental there.

[threedogs]

expensive here if you hire and dont use it often I have a $1500 Mig I packed away in favour of a small inverter welder I have .
Even my big Trans arc is packed away. Technology I suppose, would love the TIG hand piece but again Id need gas

[mudnut]

I love welding with my TIG, but even with buying my own bottle the freight to and from Ballarat kills that idea. If I go with the local mob, yearly subscription and cost of the gas kills it too. The disposable bottles are expensive and the el cheapo regulator used with them are useless. Considering that Argon is only a bi-product from the process of producing oxygen and nitrogen it is way over-priced. Rant over. Going to get me a hot drink...

[lhurley]

I pay $13 a month rental for a E sized bottle. And it's $70 refill for 100% argon and $60 for 75/25 arg/co2. That's delivered to my door as well. For a D its $3/month more then about $10 more to fill. I don't live in the sticks so that helps. I priced up going through boc and it was $25 a month and $150 delivered for a 100% argon in a smaller bottle.

For me to buy a bottle its $450 then nearly $100 per fill delivered. Bet you can work out who has my business

I bought my bottles (2) of Argon from Speed Gas, $450 for the G bottle and $75 for the fillup, that was 5 years ago, I need to get a refill as one is empty the other about so.
If I would have known BOC and AirGas charged by the month here I would have double the price of the software they bought from us.. monthly rental is a rip ..

[HuskyInAuz]

Which hose mate? The one from the turbo? I found when they get a bit old, and even double clamped they will still slip off. Happened to me. Put all new rubber hoses one and they were actually quite hard to get on. I knew these weren't coming off in a hurry.

It's the hose from the intercooler (Cross Country) to the intake manifold. I cut it about 20mm too short when we installed the IC. Came off in FNQ in August '14 also after coming out of the National Park road. Suppose to get another one, which I will measure twice and cut once Friday. So my bad but not having a standard 90 in 58mm (2.25") is tough to take locally.

Moron drivers on the Southern Expressway, this was caught by somebody's dash cam couple of days ago.
The police are looking into it so the guy may be charged.
I can understand people getting frustrated by slow drivers in the right lane, I get frustrated with that too but to use the emergency stopping lane to overtake a car and then slam on the brakes in front of him is bloody dangerous and stupid.

Test and tag.. I hate that job and it is such a load of crap and a waste of time

I hate it too but it's not a waste of time in the right places. I recently had to do an inspection of a large hospital down here. It houses around 400 patients. One of the shitty jobs is having to look at every bloody bed. As well as test fire and smoke alarms, rcds emergency and exit lights etc etc. Out of the 400 beds I looked at I failed 13 just on a visual inspection as their supply leads were split and six of these, the active conductor was actually exposed. So I can't see it being a total waste of time. The kitchen staff were even using a smashed to bits three phase outlet for their mixer. It was held together with masking tape!
But in your field of work it is a waste. OH & S have taken this too far now.

We have had to get a cortisone shot and have to go back Tom morn to get another one.

I go to the docs early jan to get a few moles checked out. He finds one on my back and says it needs to go. Thinking he will do it there and then. He refers me to a plastic surgeon.
So today, one hundred and effing fifty dollars later from just seeing the surgeon for five bloody minutes I am told its going to cost $500 plus another $75 for the pathology test. I just walked out and said ill get my missus to cut it out with a butter knife for that kind of money!
Im thinking ill have to find a bulk bill habib doc that will do it in the practice.

Any further News Kev. Have been thinking of you

Thanks Bob. The shot seems to have helped her a fair bit as did the one on Monday morn. She is now on cortisone tabs for the rest of the week and we take her back on fri for another check up. She is still far from 100% though as she still just lies there and only moves to get water or go to the toilet, not really eating still only bits here and there Which is difficult as she can't have the tabs on an empty stomach. If the tabs do their job she will go onto a six week course they will then take her off them to see if the symptoms come back if so it will be a back and forth thing until/if she gets better.

Mark: if you think human docs are a rip off. This weekend we have spent just under 1g on the dog on tests and meds. They said if this does not work we will have go down the ct scans and spinal tap path and that starts at around 3.5g.

I agree Roofy, do not feed her any canned, dog logs or cryovac pet mince, get the fresh mince from a butcher only.
Canned pet food has manufactured meat pieces in them made using sulfur, dog logs and cryovac pet mince have sodium nitrite added to them.

I don't feed her any crap that comes in a can or roll. We will very rarely give her crap and that is when we have run out of the fresh dog mince (beef,lamb,chicken) etc that we get. We buy in bulk (12kg) and freeze it. We also cook up rice and mix eggs in it from time to time which she loves but she wouldn't even eat that last night. Tan has just told me that she scoffed her dinner tonight so that is a very good sign.

Missus recently had one cut out from the top of her leg, ended up cutting out 10mm deep x 20mm long x 5 mm wide............. also had to go down the root of pathology and ct scans to see if it had gone to lymph nodes etc. She has to go and see the skin people every 6 months now for check ups to make sure she's still all clear.

Get it done. As soon as..... Find a different doctor.
My GP is also a surgeon (from when he was a country doc) and will do (in fact loves doing) minor surgery in his rooms, bulk billed, no cost for pathology either. He normally charges $75 a visit for a consultation but for that stuff he bulk bills.
Again, speaking from experience. Your health is the most important thing you have. Don't lose it over money. Get what needs to be done, done.

Just watching the TV news & I am so p*ssed off, I just cannot believe what must have been going through what passes for brains in the mindless morons who felt it necessary to ringbark the ‘Separation Tree’ with machetes...twice.... a 400 year old healthy redgum in Melbourne’s botanical gardens which despite best efforts is now going to die.

That's pretty bad cuppa, no idea how that is even conceived in someone's mind to do that.

Lets ringbark them

[macca]

Just did a Google, it was done a while ago and finally the roots have died. Why would someone want to destroy a 260 to 400 year old tree?

The symbolism is of no consequence today. By saying that it is history and it isn't going to change.

Some New South Welshman pissed that Victoria became a separate identity? Surely not.

[Woof]

Could be blocking someones view, would not be the 1st time that has happened

[AB]

I'm unhappy...lol

Been waiting over a week and a half for my tridon high flow thermostat and asked Leah if she had picked up a box from the post office.

Yep she did and no idea where it is!!!

Just stripped her car and no joy, time to tear the house apart now!!!

I'm trying hard to be calm...:)

Someone also killed the Tree of Knowledge in Barcaldine QLD about 10 years back, regardless of peoples political affiliations it's still part of our history.

Have stripped the house and still can't find it!!!

I'm thinking Mia might of hidden it for daddy and she's at grandmas. Have no choice but to ring a 5 year old and ask where she has hidden it?

Disaster!

Im sick to death of little turds in their manged out V6 commodores thinking im slow because im in a big heavy patrol and feel the need to tailgate and then fart in my face as they pass when I turn off.
I feel like I need a sticker on the back "your lucky I picked the patrol to drive today"
If they only knew what else I drive.

[AB]

[growler2058]

[AB]

I justs laugh at the people who talegate me in my patrol. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't bother me, them being on my dot doesn't make me late or me drive faster, if anything I drive slower since they put me in a dangerous situation. Plus if the want to crash into my patrol, it's 3 tonne. And if they crash into me in their crummydores they can enjoy a tow ball to the face cause that's about where it sits.

It used to bother me when people talegated me, but now I don't care. They can drive around and speed off, flip me off if they want. Water off a ducks back.

my dog barking (with a different bark) at 1.40AM this morning after finally getting to sleep with the f*%king mossies I get back out of bed and find an intruder with a backpack climbing into my neighbours property from mine, obviously to get away from my dog Rango. He sprints off up the road ( way to fast for my 53 YO body) so I gets the Pootrol out with the baseball bat and find the sod half a k away , head him off jump out and he bolted again into the bush. I tried everything to flush him out. eventually got the missus Mitsubishi VRX which is black and waaay quieter than the ol asmatic Diesel and cruised the streets with lights off. still no joy, then when I finally bring the car back home , I see a car floating quietly down the road. Brain puts 2 and 2 together and gets 3. I race up the road in the missus car again, head this car off, and they proceed to shine a spotlight in my face, I realise its to blind me while the original thief gets into the back of their car from the other side. sure enough as I hall the bat out again and run round to their car, they shout for him to get in and they race off. I chased for 5 km at speeds of 130kph easy. After a while I felt unsafe as the roads were too small for this speed. they just pulled away from me as if the VRX was running on 1 piston. so anyone in the Spring mountain area Greenbank or Jimboomba if you see a little blue car with personalised plate with the letters TUI in it driven by a cockhed, just PM me and I can track them down so I can administer a permanent limp.

Check po box and no thermostat!

Yeah, but you do realize that 50% of new thermostats dont work. So, you should get one that works.. Unless the one that is missing will be the one that works.

No. Funnily enough its nothing like Angry Birds. Most basic game but bloody addictive. Spose it doesn't take much to amuse me...

On our third new Fridge since Monday.

1. Hisense 527L Worked OK for a day and then decided to close down the Freezer.
2. Store replaced the Hisense and Freezer worked great -19degrees but Fridge would not pull down below 10 degrees
3. Store allowed us to change to another brand which is coming down to temp now. Lets hope this one is OK

Would not recommend a Hisense
Update
Hooray
2.15 pm and Freezer at -21degrees (adjusting to get to -18 degrees) and Fridge is at 3 degrees.
Fully loaded with Food and Beer

[threedogs]

I have a 440 Westinghouse in the house and a 130 LG in the shed both awesome fridges,
What else do Hisense make, Think Ive only seen TV's by them

[mudski]

Tiny Wings. You're welcome.

Looks like the closest. I'll check it out.
