Best advice is not to use it. But definitely don't use it for programming. Ever.

Poofter MAMILs don't ride real bikes.How will lycra help?I can confirm, if its a ground nest, a litre of petrol and a match does sort it out, but dress up well (I put on my full bike gear)Don't be a slumlord landlord - get a proper pest control company in.
Otherwise, I hear Elon Musk was selling flamethrowers recently...
Get our glorious leader to operate the flame thrower, he has a history with gas powered things.

« on: 18 September 2018, 18:25:18 »Some bastard mention that at work today. They are getting years or entertainment out of my personal tradegiesBe very careful if Mrs STEMO complains of having dry eyes and buys an over the counter bottle of eye drops.It only takes a few drops added to your food and it's bye bye STEMO. A US wifey has just been charged with doing this and killing her husband.
The bad news is it obviously fails the not detectable poison test.
Yep. That's no good. What she needs is a sudden, tragic, accidental camping equipment failure in his vicinity to send him into orbit and . Now, ... <rubs chin>

General Discussion Area / Re: Sat Nav Choice
« on: 18 September 2018, 18:23:07 »That sounds like it might be an older chipset that has a limit on sats it can use simultaneously, rather than truly locked on, if it was indoors.I suspect if you could access the serial data, whilst it might claim to "see" 12, its locked to far less....Granted, was out in the open, but notice on power-on, my quad had 18 locked in sats
Indoors, sitting at my desk, my phone is locked on 12 sats..
GPS Test reported it could "see" 20-odd, and 12 were "in use" - I can only assume it can only use stats it's locked on to.. still, my old iPaq used to get me around just fine with a lock on about 4 sats, so..
What does the tool say outdoors?

« on: 18 September 2018, 18:18:44 »It gives me a warm feeling its costing them to service my accounts. Much like when I piss myself.You can't really annoy a computer.
Indeed, Barclays has 24 million customers - it's not like there is a little gremlin like man staring at the balance sheets cursing TB; he's not even a spec in their statistics.

MX5 is a hoot to drive, and quite nice in a tail out scenario. And its all low speed fun as well 
.
It lacks power (big time), and obviously has an image problem, but that doesn't make it boring.
Not tried a new one, but suspect the weight has ballooned and the power sapped, which would be a crying shame. Esp as all the old ones have rusted away.
Early MR2s are almost as much fun

In a former life, I used to linger around the pawn shops in Bletchley (its that sort of place) just after Christmas and snap up all the brand new games consoles that people had got for xmas, but were trading in for next to nothing in order to get their next fix. I'd keep them for a few weeks until there were not many around, then sell them for far more than I paid for them - things like Wii's, Xbox360s, gayStation 3s I was buying for sub £30, and selling for 3 times that.
Sometimes I used to think some poor granny had saved her pension for that for an ungrateful grandchild, who had likely exchanged for a quick shot.

« on: 17 September 2018, 17:35:56 »They are only rated to 5yrs from manufacture, not fittingat just £450 per yearBlimey, a pair of rear tyres comes out more on my jalopy
Yes, I pay £106 usually / currently per corner, but that is normal wear and tear, with my tyres (usually, baring punctures) lasting for over 5 years.
. Not the that is an issue for us on either car. We both like a good, dependable tyre

She used to wonder how I knew, but you can tell it a mile off.
Some things I cant tell, like McVities v Tesco Ginger Nuts.... ….so guess what she buys me
