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

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
