Things that piss you off.

What Snell ball would you recommend for him?

[Daves]

37 degrees going by my meat thermometer.

And where exactly did you insert this Meat Thermometer then?

[backintheswing]

Where is that inserted?

[Ferrins]

Under arm pit was my 2nd option and now also my preferred one.

[markTHEblake]

But what do I care? He's not my president, and I wasn't one of the plethora of Americans who chose not to vote who helped him get in.

was the largest number of votes cast in US Presidential election history.

[AndyP]

was the largest number of votes cast in US Presidential election history.

Bugger off with your facts. Those that don't vote are to blame for everything.

[goughy]

And yet not the highest percentage of eligible voters voting. You can do all sorts of things with stats to make a negative sound like a positive. You might look at it as great that that many turned out. I look at it as how many didn't. And if you wanna look at just the numbers, 3 mill more wanted Hilary (scary too) but the 3 mill were in all the wrong places. More people also wanted Obama in '08. And as far as the percentage of eligible voters, 2016 has been beaten many times.

As I said, he's not my president though. And as I said, I don't think any of the people who voted for him are to blame. He was always gonna get a great number of votes. I think the blame lies with those that didn't vote. And I think he will get another term.

Yeah, nah. This is based on the assumption that those that didn't vote, weren't going to vote for Trump.

[markTHEblake]

It was 57.7%. Only 1 election of the last 12 had a higher % turnout, and is way above the average for the last 100 years of the Elections. Sorry Andy.

[WBennett]

I rolled my ankle the hole before Courty drilled me at Cobden.

5 weeks later it's still bloody sore.

[goughy]

Yeah, nah. This is based on the assumption that those that didn't vote, weren't going to vote for Trump.

Maybe the problem was they didn't want to vote for either?

[goughy]

Yes, interesting that you stopped at the last 12. Did it suit you argument better to exclude that the 5 previous to those 12 all had a higher % turnout? When you average the vap percentage that voted since 1932, I get an average over that time that equals the 2016 vap percentage, so not significantly better (or way above, unless you are again talking about the actual individual numbers, not the percentage, which will naturally have a chance to increase with an increasing population). I stopped at 1932 because it was the only list that included vap, vap turnout and vap turnout percentage. Prior to that it only listed vap percentage. But if you want to include those percentages too, then 2016 would be behind the average vap percentage.

[markTHEblake]

Did it suit you argument better....

I have only shared the facts, and facts dont speak for themselves nor make an argument.

[AndyP]

That's why I don't vote.

[Ferrins]

Well I hope this was right as fever is the only symptom I don't have.

[Daves]

Well I hope this was right as fever is the only symptom I don't have.

Your Body Temp does vary a little, depending on where you measure it. It also varies with time of day, age and a number of other factors. 38c and above is apparently considered a fever.

Been on Team Viewer all day and in group chat with 7 x Chinese and 1 x Japanese to get them to remotely fix an LED screen on a sign. The screen still under Warranty.

Never seen and spoken to such idiots. Not only did they fail to get the screen working. They f***ked all of the settings in the clients computer.

Rang my new local supplier as not want to get into them anymore. Happy to sell at much inflated price, but not want to worry about service of these troublesome things.
He advised me he will repair tomorrow and put in his own operating system.

Going to send China my repair bill for my wasted labour and cost of my new guy. Fat chance I will hear from them.



Either way - I am done with China. A virus is the only thing that comes out of that country that actually works.

Does it really work?
Here's a thought. What if the created / deliberately released it and it's meant to knock over may more people than it has??

99% chance it wasn't created by humans. Human Race is not smart enough.

The thing that got up my goat yesterday was some of the comments about virus and " I've given your computer a virus too" followed
by several laughing emojis.
I am just hoping when all this is done and dusted that the world realises how reliant they are on China. Bring reliance back to about
50% and have other options elsewhere.

Banks and home loans.

I seriously give up.

Having a go at you about credit card spending?

[goughy]

Are you with CBA lefty? Or just them in general? Has the banking royal Commission changed anything at all?

[LeftyHoges]

Having a go at you about credit card spending?

Nope. It's a very long story but basically the requirements these days to get a home loan are a series of 55 hurdles, and you don't get over one, you can't get.

[LeftyHoges]

Are you with CBA lefty? Or just them in general? Has the banking royal Commission changed anything at all?

Every bank in general. They're all a particular brand of ****s.

[markTHEblake]

Yeah but so are lawyers, real estate agents and used car salesmen. Whats the issue? Half the problems we have now with banks were caused the the RC 'we had to have', which was a WOFTAM amd only served to screw us over.
