Is it appropriate to get the lawn mower going…… I got a busy day ahead and need to get started haha


i was a bit the same saturday monrning, so i delegated the lawn mowing to the daughter while i did other things.

apologised to the neighbours when she was done as i didnt realise how early i had her going at it, was all finished by 9

Did you have some porn to download?


reckon ive downloaded most of that at one time or another ;)

i was busy polishing the bumpers and wheels on the chev. then washing it, armouralling the roof, tinkering with the carb settings, fitting a haircut and beard trim in there somewhere, and then driving it :)

figured mowing the lawns was more productive for the daughter than sitting and watching you tube or whatever it is she was doing...

exactly.

pity sunday wasnt quite as good, but got her out to palmer anyway for their hot rod street party. ended up with a good day out and had a bit of fun winding her out through the hills on the way home. was interesting with the bench seat :lol:

as an aside, if you are driving in the hills, and theres a 50 year old car behind you, obviously going faster than you, you are by definition in a "slow" car, and should therefore use the slow vehicle turnouts, and let those of us that are willing to get up to the speed limit do so. im looking at you black kia carnival....

Usually found in the right lane of the Southern Expressway exercising their assumed right to drive 90kms/hr in THEIR lane
My experience is that the car probably cant go faster than 90kms/hr due to the low power / weight ratio

I haven't tried a Kia Carnival but friends and I shared driving a hired Honda Odyssey up to Darwin.
I managed to top 160K passing a road train and still had some potential left.
Sure it doesn't accelerate like my hot little coupe I use for normal driving (0-100 in 6 secs).

I tried Win 11 for a few weeks via the Insider Program. Went back to 10 after an update broke nearly everything, turned out to be fixed quickly but I had had enough of a few other niggles by then.
Mostly it ran well but I particularly didn't like changes to the right click menu which seemed to add extra clicks. Copy, paste, delete etc were represented by symbols rather than text which was not intuitive to me and to get the full options as from Win 10, required a click on "More Options".
The UI throughout is similar but different, didn't like it but more than likely that is just a bit of unfamiliarity and stubbornness on my part.
I have since learned of various registry edits to return the old context menu and will go back to 11 when I get the inclination to tinker but IMHO if you are happy enough with 10, I can't think of a compelling reason to update.

Looking at current trends in software design which sets up the browser, or antivirus software you may want to use to take total control of your computer by default and of browsing by default, I've been sceptical about Windows 11, and the above reinforces my scepticism. I'll stick with Windows 10 for now as I can turn of all the automatic "protections" that slowed the computer down there.

I've found the same issue with various browsers and antivirus programme updates, some of which let you turn this stuff off and some which don't. Also my new Lenovo laptop came with Lenovo additives that set everything up for you (whether you wanted it or not). I stripped it all off and sped up the machine dramatically.

Now, I run basic antivirus software, just Like I used to do, and keep installed but turned off various apps like CCleaner, Wise Registry Cleaner, Malwarebytes, and run them manually most weekends rather than leave one of them in control. ( I rotate them too rather than rely on any one.)

One of my computers is still running Windows 7, because that lets me choose to boot with Windows or with a currently preferred Linux operating system. Windows 10 blocks such dual booting.

I don't do banking and payment transactions on my phone because I don't think any phone system is secure enough. I use my laptop for those, but with the Opera Browser which can be set to wipe all cache and records immediately it is closed.

13 years as a partner in an IT company has made me cautious. The last time any true virus got on to one of my computers was back in about 1990. The occasional PUP slips through but they are easily cleaned off by my back up apps.
