TOP DEFINITION
 
The act of placing the head of ones penis inside the foreskin of another's penis.
David and Patrick enjoyed docking immensely because of Patty's stretchy foreskin.

Macron v Le Pen

This should be an interesting indication as to whether the world is gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda or simply rejecting the political status quo.... Particularity given the recent attacks in France
 

I dunno if electing Macron is exactly rejecting the status quo, given he's likely to do not much except roll on with the same policies that got them to where they are now

Tfw a former socialist party member is widely referred to as a "centrist"...

 

When many right wing pundits are holding classical feminist views from the 70s/80s, for true equality and are tolerant of homosexuality etc. it's easy to see why people might mistake left wing socialists for centrists.

Makes me wonder what the political spectrum will look like in 20 years time if this infinite gender shit ever catches on and becomes mainstream. Maybe we'll go Möbius strip and the anti-establishment right that brought about Trump will bring us full circle.

One thing is for certain though...socialism sucks a fat one.

He's not from any of the major established parties and has only spent a short time in politics.

 

It would be the equivalent of us electing say Clive Palmer as PM. Sure he's a business man and probably will be no different but the status quo is really just liberal then labor then liberal then labor rinse & repeat until the end of time.

 

Having said that Macron has the same background as our own PM so I certainly see your point

Business laptops have additional features such as docking capabilities etc. (nohomo)


Also business models come with pro versions of Windows, all look the same regardless of specs (that's a very important feature so you don't get people whining that they got a laptop that does all they need instead of one that's better because someone else needed a better one and got one), generally have better warranty, for extra cost can have deeply integrated management for IT to reimage remotely etc

For larger businesses it makes sense, for smaller businesses it's a waste of money.

So Le Pen, just ditched her party and is running solo. I suppose that answers the question on the nationalism issue and moves the choice more towards birds' point [emoji848]

Don't know enough about this election to make a call on it, unlike the states where I knew Trump had a good chance. But I've been observing immigration and terrorism issues on the world stage over the last couple of years and the correlations these days seem too strong for joe public to ignore. My feeling is that those innate defense mechanisms we've held onto for thousands of years are really starting to kick in and influence political choices over the more first world preferences people used to vote on, like taxes...

Also I have a Docking station for my work laptop and it's the best shit ever

What laptop you got?

Informed boss that Microsoft don't support win7 any more and that very few laptops come with win7, and that nobody manufacturers laptops that suit old docking stations anymore... So he sends me a link to a laptop that was released in 2013, and says others are using them. Yeah, because they were purchased in 2013...

Old docking stations used to clip into the back of the laptop like this https://www.mwave.com.au/product/dell-eport-ii-simple-port-replicatorfor-select-dell-latitude-notebooks-ab67293?gclid=CjwKEAjw5_vHBRCBtt2NqqCDjiESJABD5rCJ-tI2L7UDasl0Uxva2MHmj-nLrKxUVBH5ovyjocOs3xoC_Ofw_wcB 

New ones normally connect using USB 3 or USB C and act more like a port replicator https://www.bbitonlineshop.com.au/products/dell-uhd-4k-usb-3-0-port-replicator-d3100-452-11714?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=26645680395 

There's even some that function over High Speed Local Wireless between the Laptop and the Dock, even for things like 4K video... but they're flakey at best.

my lenovo has whats called a mini dock where it just plugs in to the power connection in the laptop.

works great.

 

My home Samsung goes via USB-C but as there only 1 port it limits what can be done, and have some bandwidth prob if I have a few things connected at same time. so if trying to stream HDMI and access say a USB stick run into issues


(That said it is only my mobile media device, to stream foxtel and movies when I travel so it is a low power lightweight unit).

 

 

Whilst the new USB docks are great, there's still laptops that use or benefit off the HP/Dell etc. docks - I actually prefer these so theres no plugging in of USB or power cable, just slots straight on and bam straight back into it.

My current work one is just a USB3 dock, drives my 3 screens & network fine

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
