  1. Yeah I'm back in action again, life is returning to normal now... For Sale area will be getting more of a clean up over coming days
  2. Closed. Next time read forum rules, and follow them.
  3. That is exactly what will happen though. Police breaking up totally HARMLESS gatherings, defects, assaulting members of the public etc etc. It's only going to get worse. Tougher you try to behave, the more resistance you are going to get
  4. I've got a couple of students working for me ATM that are pretty highly educated and almost done with their quals (exams shortly and all done) One is Bio-med - can't find work anywhere, so will be working with us for quite a while from what they've said to me. Seems fairly common talking to most of my employees at the moment
  5. Good question. I have used my brothers a few years back to see what it was like... I got a nasty rash from it the day after, much like i do with cartridge shaving. So that was enough for me not to bother with that again, nor spend $150+ on something i know might not work. The beard trimmer works aite, does the job intended... I'll clean shave for a wedding or someshit but that's about it, although this thread with the other ideas coming out does have me thinking.
  6. I do this as well, after your recommendations The Wahl I've had for around 12 months now, it needs a good 15-20mins on the charger before I use now. If I don't it simply runs out of juice after 4-5mins to trim everything and starts to slow down. So usually just plug it in soon as i get up, eat food and it's good to go. It's just how all those small shitty ones are really. I'm guessing another 3-4 months it'll be totally dead so around 18 months which isn't great but that's how it goes. I have epic issues with ingrown hairs & rash when using a cartridge shaver (even the most expensive wont work)... So just use a beard trimmer as above and I've not had an ingrown since, just delightful - i do miss that smooth clean shave feel. So this thread is interesting as every 2 days max I need to be shaving and it's farken tedious.
  7. I used the Castrol to good effect. Add some Penrite friction modifier if you get too much chatter
  8. Ive got a heap of access to do tomorrow - SO anyone waiting, you'll have it tomorrow
  9. Probably because I've been busy and not on SAU a lot... I used to check it daily hehe, now - it's been a month. I'm almost back to standard life now so it should now return to normal
  10. You usually get around 2 hours to edit a post before it'll stop you. I cant remember the exact time, but it's around that.
  11. Your setup has major issues - 4500rpm should see pretty much 20psi all in. Just take it somewhere else, if they current workshop is saying there is no issue, they have no idea.
  12. Exactly. I had 340rwkw with -9s on 98, but it wasn't a stock engine - and that is where the extra bits/gains come from
  13. Well given you're the one stating that it's full of 'facts' and using it as your evidence in your arguments... That sounds perfectly logical
  14. Yep +1 to Steve/Nick Piston slap just means it was a shit build to start off with. In this day and age there shouldn't be any at all if the motor is built to correct tolerance.
  15. I R EXCITE I reckon ill be free to come for a weekend then
  16. Plan does make for good reading. Lots of "expectation, assumptions" and similar words - yet it doesn't tell anyone where those assumptions are coming from, or what they are based upon! Such things are not facts. A Corp Plan posted online, does not make it fact. They are nothing more than estimations and claims really. The revised Corp plan says by June 30, 286,000 homes will be connected... Guess we have to wait until after June 30 to see what the actual fact is on that one, given most reports suggest it's going to be missed - yet Mike has said nothing about it yet, and he is in the best position to know, given he is CEO of NBN Co. Doesn't mean what he says is truthful or accurate, or the point he is saying nothing at all. 286,000 home won't be connected, as estimated, makes one wonder about the other estimations.
  17. If it takes 40 mins by car from Broady to Bundoora then you are doing it wrong. The point remains - you didn't need to purchase a illegal car, so why should you be exempt? If I was the person responsible for reviewing your app, you'd be denied
  18. 5% and it's barely even started, yet somehow it's going to be finished by 30th June 2016 (the NBN website says 2015, but is carefully worded to allow an extra year, funny about that). It won't be anywhere near that, even if you make it 2017 to account for the delays with the deal/Telstra etc. So since 2009, what has been achieved thus far? Not a hell of a lot and it's at the half way point. Stuffed beyond MY wildest dreams? I forget, where did I say it was in good order... Oh that's right, i didn't. Nor did I say we should be using it as another option. Again, read the comments about wireless that I made. General comments and rhetoric, not requiring a wild waffle. lstra said years ago their home phone rental was on the decline and given everyone goes through them - numbers are falling, I don't even have a home phone, and I barely use a land based connection these days having just given it a bit of thought (depressing in some ways, I've not had any gaming time since Jan). Although I'm using one now for the first time in weeks, yet I'm running a 7 fig business yet have bugger all need for a land based connection. Whilst NBN Co have said they've allowed in their numbers for less take up based on other options (eg wireless, people using etc). Where are those numbers! Because far as my digging could go a few months back, such numbers have not publicly posted, just stated they were "accounted for" which allows for zero ratification... And when someone wont let things be checked.. Well... The rent vs expense argument is all well and good, if you know what the final expense & completion is "soon" is just not good enough, nor is an unknown expense. One group says "X", the other says "Y", the question is who to believe? Based on experience thus far, neither as both are blatant liars and presenting incorrect FACTS! Facts are good, as long as they are real.
  19. Reliability sure, all sorts of issues there when it comes to the spectrum etc. Point was more that with such a take-up of wireless data/mobile use - surely both Govts are not expecting 100% take up which the figures are based on. Given the NBN on paper, is meant to have paid itself back by 2035 or something based on 7%... Again assuming it makes its targets (which wont happen without 100% take up)... What happens if it doesn't? Could it be 2050 before it's paid back? Who foots the bills in the mean time? Too much unknown here, too much potential for horrific blowout - NBN idea is great in theory, but not being put into practice at all well - by EITHER Govt
  20. His email today (after he spoke with ya)... Honestly made me LOL You'll be right as long as it's not a black lemon
  21. Nothing wrong with infrastructure at all. What is wrong is the gross underestimations, the end resulting cost - all for something that could very well be redundant before it's even finished. NOTE: I don't believe the Liberal $90 Bil claim yet. In fact my entire opposition to the entire thing has no politics behind it, so all you Labour people can put it back in your pants - given in my first post I said: Initially it was set to cost what, $30 Bil. That $30 Bil was based on EVERY household taking up a connection, which from the outset I think most can probably agree is a fairly unlikely scenario. Estimates always sat around the $60 Bil mark as a more realistic figure. The Copper network is farked, I totally agree there, and it doesnt come as a surprise at all. Telstra stopped all the maintenance on it years ago once rumblings of the NBN were starting. Any smart business would've done exactly the same thing given they answer to shareholders now, and not the Govt - and before people jump up/down about privatisation - no Govt can possibly claim to be unaware of that occurring (once privatised and rumblings of their network becoming redundant). My opposition to it all simply stems: 1. Cost will not be $30 Bil, regardless of what Govt you support. 2. The connections to Overseas are not being touched, this network only benefits (currently) Australia -to- Australia. So when are the O/S connections actually being upgraded, and at what costs is that going to be? 3. Why not invest $30 Bil (or the $60 Bil) into Wireless and other technology? Was it even looked into etc. Given 4G is faster than current ADSL2 for the majority of users - What technology is going to exist in 5 years time? Will FTTN even be viable? Given the trend to mobile useage - the uptake of NBN will also take a hit.

  23. From what I've seen - exactly the same. After 10,000kms, 3 track events and a tarmac rally event - my rotors were in great condition with DS2500 pads. DS3000 will eat a rotor if you use them heavily, and also by the same token, if you do not get them up to temp. 100% agree. My car - D2, a mates car - Alcon... I couldn't notice a difference other than his brake pedal was slightly firmer than mine, but that could just be brake fluid/bleeding as I'd not done mine for a good 6 months.
