Nah on the old Sun Ultra 10's just give the HDD a good work out, it would then fail and it was vendor issue not mine....

just kidding..

but a well set up system should not page very often.

and if you have some redundancy then even easier.

was there for 36 hours straight once rebuilding an exchange server, got me a week off for that so score!

Wild pearls... not farmed pearls...

And no I don't wear pearls because they are cultured. I said I would only wear wild pearls if I wore them! (which won't happen because they are too rare lol)

wild pearls still involves killing them oysters/mussels no?

wild pearls still involves killing them oysters/mussels no?

Yes; I guess where I'm coming from is that wild pearls are a natural process, wheras when farmed the irritant is placed inside the oyster shell to create the pearl. But I guess any sort of pearl is cruel

well, cultured pearls are still based off a captive population of oysters/mussels collected from the wild.

They are given a safe haven to live and breed, with an irritant inserted that does not affect any biological functions. As a pearl takes ages to grow to marketable size, a lot of them live longer than they would in the wild, and all of them wouldn't even know the difference. Also, meat/shells are reuseable. Shells go into the production of lime, and meat is sold as food/animal feed.

So, its debatable as to wild or cultured is more cruel. How do they determine if a wild oyster has a peal in it anyway?

not entirely true, you could find a pearl in an already dead mollusk. hadnt thought of that.

But mollusk and tree fall into the same category for me.

you could, but then they'd be blister pearls and aren't your usual spherical pearls. not really of much use to your jeweller.

was not aware of that. assumed pearl would be retained ok since... its a pearl.

get to pick out the pearl tomorrow. not sure if fresh or salt water :| first world problems.

if you're looking for chains, go to one of those asian jewellers @ springvale or something, they do cheaper chains. and a chain is just a chain.

remember paying 118 for a 18k white gold chain when i got my then girlf an overpriced piece of shit tiff n co key pendant.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
