What are you watching today?

Auspost is sus. Always sus.

oof that’s a real pain in the arse.

Not so much Auspost but the courier companies.

I had a sim card do the Australian world tour only to end up in the bliss of Brisbane. I tracked it from Melb, Perth, and stopped at Bris. The major provider of sim card had NFI what happened and reissued me another within a day. To my door. Could have started with that :roll_eyes:

If you know where I live, that courier company was on some wicked smack rest assured :rofl:

Yeah, gotta say…

When I was working as a postie I applied a solid ethic to my delivery day. You got your parcel when you were supposed to, if you weren’t home or had the hound from hell roaming your property you got a card, and your parcel got dropped off at the P.O. same day so you could pick it up after 4pm. Sometimes I’d deliver parcels on my own time if they were on my way home to make sure the customer got his delivery.

Handing the bulk of the parcel delivery over to the subbies who weren’t AusPost employees saw that level of customer service go south. I used to pull up parcel drivers all the time for doing dodgy stuff, but they never really gave a shit. They gave us a bad name, everyone thought we were all in the same shit bucket.

@DocBob Hey Bob, what do think of this concept? If you watch it to the end, he gives a reason why he thinks Porsche has patented this.

Yeah, I thought harmonics and vibration issues as soon as I seen the thumbnail!

There’s many different concept engine designs out in the world… but like this one… they all have issues that keep them from mass production :roll_eyes:

Bit like the Ducati Desmo engine I guess and why a lot of modern 2 stroke dirt bikes are coming out with counter balanced engines. Will have a look later when I get some time.

Think it was a 1188 Duke I rode :thinking: 10 odd years ago. Went like the clappers but was a bone rattler for sure. More or less race spec. 130klm/hr in first gear before it got near redline was insane.

Still haven’t watched anything I planned to watch. Looks like everything coming out lately is just garbage.

Not new, but if you haven’t watched it yet…

Absolutely brutal… got me sucked in.

Rewatching “The Walking Dead” for shits’n’gigs…

@BME had to snap a photo of Rick with his Uzi… :wink:

What a strapping looking UZI…

Ka Boom-Tish…!!

Slow Horses.

Spoilers…

Just finished all 4 seasons. Gary Oldman and Kirsten Scott Thomas make it great and the other characters aren’t bad. It’s good they kill a few of them off to keep it interesting, but it’s a little repetitive after a while. Like most seasons of most shows it becomes a bit of a one trick pony.

Still good watching though…

re-watching “Dexter” to prepare for “Dexter: Original Sin” coming in December this year and “Dexter: Resurrection” next year

Just watching transmission fluid leak out of the power steering pressure switch. Bit messier than last weeks excitement - watching R134 leak out of the suction hose on the a/c

Just watching water in the oil of the JetSki, and 1 rusted spark plug…indicative of a leak in the open loop, sea water cooled, exhaust manifold…it’s gonna be expensive if it is….

Oil change… trade in :joy:

Not entirely unexpected, for a open loop system…
My older ski, is 16 years old….

Price of a new exhaust manifold….the price of a new v2.5 gearbox blaster…!!

It cost me nothing on extra maintainence, the first 12 + years…

It might yet be something a bit simpler…let see what the tech says, after hooking it up to his diagnostic machine…

We’re back - no more bad gateway messages. Big thanks to whoever fixed it

Very curious as to what happened there?

Yeah… I couldn’t even send e-mails to other Mods to check what was happening, but thankfully all back online again now :raised_hands:
