I'm Hiding 🇦🇺

The rooster came before the egg?

Oh won’t you please take me localhost??

Fuck I wish the politicians would give this to us straight like that.

Why is Albo’s party spreading memes about three eyed fish instead of saying “yeah Dutton’s nuclear plan is safe, but it maximises fossil fuel use in the short term and we’d prefer to focus on renewables”

Thunderbird is great for me. I’ve used it for near on twenty years, and it flies compared to Outlook, especially for searching.

Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The operation has failed.

As the de-facto IT admin in a small business, this message haunts my dreams and I hate that I know it by heart. Time to make a new mail profile and configure all the accounts again. Its not like it’s the seventh time on this computer. It’s not like I’ve reinstalled Outlook three times already as per Microsoft’s “accepted solution”.

There’s a reason I don’t use Microsoft software on my hardware.

The good thing about ChatGPT is that it gives you a starting point for languages you’re not familiar / rusty with.

I drive a cool, classic car most of the time.

It attracts a lot of 60 year old blokes with names like “Terry” and “Ian” every time I pull up to a stop.

I haven’t seen a girl so much as look sideways at it.

What about FreeTube? Revanced? Grayjay? You don’t need to host it yourself!

Look at Mr. FancyPants over here with a core 2 quad

Right? Somebody never read Animal Farm.

Sure, the current system is fucked, but it’s tied and proven that Marxism doesn’t work. We need a middle ground.

Haven’t watched it in years, but now I’m whistling the theme tune!

If you get the RPM just right, you can absolutely shift gear without a left leg. I used to drive the paddock bomb around the farm as a kid with my left foot on the dashboard. This is not advisable on the freeway.

• put in first gear with right hand

• activate starter motor with right hand

• accelerate with right foot

• hold wheel with right knee

• Pull stick out of first. Gently slot into second as engine speed drops to the perfect RPM. Feather throttle if necessary.

• accelerate through second

• pull stick out of second, gently slot into third as engine speed drops to perfect RPM as above

• to decelerate, pull stick out of third, raise RPM then release throttle. Drop into second at perfect engine speed. Apply brake. Throw into neutral before stopping. Switch engine off.

I suspect OP still had the engine running. That said, a lot of Americans seem to drive automatics and never use the handbrake, arguing that the tiny little tab in the transmission can hold their fully loaded “truck”, so it stands to reason that there are people in the world who leave their cars out of gear and argue that the handbrake could not fail.

I always stall it with those brake assist features. I’m coming off the clutch and the damn computer still has the brakes on, so it cuts out.

Y’all can keep your computers. I’m keeping my carburettors for now.

I dunno what kind of car you’re driving, but mine will do 10mph in first quite comfortably. I wouldn’t be “shifting endlessly” in that scenario…?

Also, just leave a decent gap between you and the car in front and idle along at 2mph without stopping and starting all the time.

The Whirlpool forums are probably going to meet that requirement, though they’re local to Australia. I’m not sure of a global equivalent…
