I'm still not totally sold on home grown veggies and chickens. They taste miles better but they cost a little bit more to produce than bulk buying at costco or the local fruit and veg shop. If I invest in a rainwater tank then I would come out in front eventually.

Nice one. There is some good sh*t on gumtree occasionally.

Haha looka dem buck bucks. That top chook looks like one of mine. She's a bit darker. The bottom chook looks like my other one. She's a bit older, fatter and lighter coloured than her sister. My light coloured chook likes to be picked up and have a pat every now and then.

Ha you'd think they'd be cheap ay?! They're just an old camera/player. I bought a lj 2 door in back in the year 2000 for $600 and it was sweet as. I bought an lh in 2002 that needed a trans for $250 plus $100 for a second hand trimatic. I replaced the diff for $60 when it broke. Good luck finding anything like that nowadays.

You'll notice a big difference with that min fps number being higher. Edit: You should be able to turn your cpu up quite a bit depending on your cooling solution.

Furry muff. That was the best I could think of off the cuff. Perhaps someone will have done this before and provide a step by step guide. I just did a quick google and found this. The cheapest one I saw on ebay was around 300 aud.

I worked in a chicken farm once. I snapped 10 to 50 chicken necks a day then buried them with a tractor. Australian chicken farming isn't humane for many reasons. Ya ever see a chicken run over by a forklift or walking around with it's guts hanging out it's arse cos it got tripped over or stomped on from a careless employee? I've seen first hand a dude boot a chicken for a field goal and the manager all the way to the owner doesn't give a fark. It's all about the money and the demand is there. All of the major chicken retailers/outlets in Australia buy Aussie farmed chicken. It's clear the chickens have some feelings as they still go through the infantile playing stages as they grow up. It's kinda cute. They are also scared to go outside initially when you open the doors for them to "free range". After a while about half of them run outside when they get used to it. The books are doctored so the farms can stay open. After approx 40 days from birth they are caught and processed. They are live creatures that are running for their life in the dark (blue light) before they get caught and thrown into a cage often with broken legs. Here's a tip that most people won't know; the difference between quality chicken and cheap chicken is just the type of feed they receive. I still eat chicken but I'm under no illusions where it comes from.

Man that's ice cold Edit: Make sure to listen to the end.

Go to Linus tech tips or jayz2cents on youtube. Between them and the rest of the internet you'll be sorted in no time.

I have some advice. 1st is to Google a company that will do it for you. Next would be to Google the requirements that you are asking about and working out how to do it. 3rd would be me asking for your home town and googling a transfer company for you. 4th is me googling the hardware and software requirements for your transfer and explaining to you. I'm pretty sure that link will have you sorted. If you get stuck I'll get googling for you. It won't be until tomorrow though.

I'm hoping that is the case.

True? I wouldn't hurt or kill an animal for fun but I try to keep an open mind if I choose to eat them or provide for my kin. This is going to sound dark by sjw standards but in my eyes everything has it's place and if it involves killing then so be it. We wouldn't have kfc or maccas without it. Look up a series on Netflix called 'meat eaters'. You sound like a good man though, you appear to have respect for life.

Very nice. Nothing like making your own beer and it turning out good. If you don't have a beard, your spirit beard grew another 2 inches at least.

One has stopped but the other lays one every 2nd day. The other 6 met their demise over the years due to age and heat. They're all isa browns. They only cost about $20 a month so they can stay. I have no trouble killing an animal humanely to eat. Fortunately I'm not in the position where I have to.

So how is that home brew going? You must have a few done by now ay?

All good mate. It's not any harder than fixing ya motorcycle, it's just different.

Suh dudes?! Aye so I guess that some of you have read about my recent electrical woes in the wpmo thread? Earlier in this thread I was talking about issues with running my ram at it's rated speed on my pc and gaming setup. A light bulb went off in my head earlier today When I built my pc back in July 2015 I originally used a couple of 8 GB Corsair Vengeance in a kit rated at 2133MHz and had no trouble for months. Now that I think back I started to have trouble when my electric woes started last year. They appeared out of the blue. The 2133 ram wouldn't stably run faster than the "stock" (1600MHz) cpu rating. After having various memtest errors in the various testing configurations I said fark it and went and bought 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance 2400MHz ram in 2x16GB kits. Now maybe I'm way off and my original thoughts of cpu or mb limits were correct but now I'm thinking that because I have massive voltage fluctuations it is causing my pc to run at sub optimal levels. I know at least one of you guys knows something I don't so maybe someone could chime in with opinion or fact on what happens when a computer is subjected to 10 to 50 volt drops. I know it doesn't turn off but I do get random blue screens related to ram or gpu when it is not under gaming loads.

Haha you bet I have. They'd be a bit tough and gamey now as they are old ladies. I suppose a soup wouldn't be out of the question.
-
You gave them away? I've gradually gone from 6 eggs a day down to nearly nothing over the last 3 years. Now they just annoy me. Not only do they crap on the doorstep but they also come inside to eat the cat food. It's not like they are lacking in pellets, water and food scraps either.
-
Well this didn't piss me off but the rest of the conversation is in this thread so whatever. The local electrician came out and is fixing it early next week. Better yet his quote is very reasonable. In order to keep some relevance to the thread I'll post a wpmo today. The farken chickens insist on crapping on my back door step. Grrr.
-
Thanks ROB83R. It is a straight forward job as far as I can tell. When it's done it'll be a load off my mind. Get it? Load...ok I'll see myself out.
-
I called sa power and was told to contact an electrician. Their responsibility stops at the fuses from the street, not including the meters. I've got a guy coming out this afternoon to have a look. Edit: I know a guy just like that.

Seems reasonable. Perhaps there wasn't suitable plastic alternatives 71 years ago.

Ironically (no pun intended) and somewhat fortunately it's mostly all metal up there. Some is 6mm twin and earth. There are no exposed wires. I'm still alive but I think I would be broke or dead if I didn't know a thing or two. For curiosities sake, who thought it was a good idea to run electricity through metal conduit? It seems counter intuitive.
