  5. I think, I remember they saying " problems at 3,000 ' " , Loosing ' hardness ' in the drill bits . My other-half , was not interested in drilling for heat , and preferred having a big " camp fire " . To keep warm . spacesailor
  6. There is lots out Dubbo way. ( Rats & mice ) . The rest I suspect are in Canberra. LoL spacesailor
  7. facthunter I wish Dutton can Finnish his job & get rid of this " nbn " & let some competition in . I very much doubt it will be worse than what we have . All down together. Phone, Internet, & treamed TV. spacesailor
  8. My daughters new car had both of the rear ' seatbelts ', Eaten through by rats or mice . Luckily we managed to replace them at very " backyard " garage rates . Four hours on the front lawn , with half the interior strewn around the car . Great picture it would have made. spacesailor
  9. I am still on the Old copper wire. No upgrade here . Just a slow & intermittent service. My cell-phone is lots faster with no ' reloading ' waiting time , unlike the TV often pausing, to catch-up that download . 1 Gb is the UKs fastest download speed at 30 pound p/m . That is what they charge me , without any deductions for their blank days . No phone , to tell them the internet is down again. Without even the TV to tide us over . Have to have an independent person to tell my provider . IT'S OFF AGAIN . spacesailor PS : they say it's progress !.
  10. My Delica has all the Old crap switches .that we owners are warned against using, as they can play up & leave the driver without certain functions . Like no top gear ( overdrive ) ,or no first gear (none skid start ) . Two separate switches/buttons . ( if towing don't use o/d , on snow or icy roads select " none skid start " ). On our newer Pajero, remove " traction control " fuse , for sand driving. Is the norm for " offroading " I've failed to find the correct fuse . ( ruining the brake pads) . spacesailor
  11. Since we were forced onto the NBN system, we have never had two consecutive months of service. And I do miss having a proper phone with it's " fax " service. windows has/should have it in their system , but is too hard to use . spacesailor
  12. SHSSS Don't tell my granddaughter, At least it doesn't have to get " warmed-up " in these cold morning's. ( 2 o'clock call out ( silentlysneak away , without waking the children )) . spacesailor
  13. Geothermal ' hot rock ' , was trialed in South Australia A fairly long time ago , but it failed every test to get water down to the ' hot rock ' then collect usable steam. It was dumped July 2014 . spacesailor PS : not before , I went up for a nosey . the people were proud to show, how it could work .
  14. A big Data centre is in the making , in sevenhills according to " rumours " . Huge earth works around here , heading to the " Oaks road " substation. As well as into our residential streets, in the "Settlers Creek reserve " they have six or seven poli-pipes in trenches, with concrete inspection boxes every so often . Possibly for 'optical ' cabling. YET we have a dismal NBN CONNECTION, with never a month without a breakdown , in the service . spacesailor PS : they call the NBN fast . A little village ( Michaelson )in Wales UK . Has a 1Gb download speed .
  15. The Toyota badge is made from three zero's . Ho Ho Ho . spacesailor
  16. It definitely not the sports cars ! . It's always that brat of a P plater . That hoons everywere The only one to beat those EV's off the " green-light " . Then cuts in . Forcing others to brake. spacesailor PS : three words changed by A I .
  17. Very true, the receptionist do recognise the wife & I . Plus we are regulars there . LoL The daughter works at a different Dr clinic . So whenever we see the Dr ., the daughter knows what questions to ask & what those " Dr speak " words mean . Most " MRI's are expensive. So the 'specialist' MRI referral was dumped to get a much cheaper Dr's referral. Saved $ 300 on the original referral . spacesailor
  18. I have noticed, EV's are quicker off the traffic lights . I am slower even with 4 litres of power . spacesailor
  19. We ( Sydney burbs ) phone for the script & pick up at the 'reception ' desk . Then carry on to the chemist . For our goodies . ( Dr signs script between patients ) spacesailor
  20. That " molten salt " is what I go burnt by, cooled to 160°c spacesailor
  21. I find ' AI ' is making it worst than ever . I have to proof-read three times. ( twice before post, once after ) Then keep my fingers crossed. spacesailor
  22. This " backyard " mechanic has to go for a service annually. It's the law . " vehicle safety check ". Everything else I manage . An EV would leave me at a disadvantage. I don't have an electricians licence. Auto electrician's cost heaps more than auto mechanics spacesailor PS : auto air-conditioning. Try " Hychil minus30 " .
  23. Funny business. With a cigar! . But , what woman wouldn't clean that stained dress . Just pack it up for evidence. spacesailor
  24. KING The biggest financial burden for a country . PRESIDENT the second biggest financial burden. spacesailor
  25. Canberra would be different, as. It it said ' designed by an American architect spacesailor
