gently caress off April, it's May already. See my garage? Steal the beer in it and talk poo poo about whatever. There's an RX-7 in it now.

Also cats. Patte the cats.

I added more light to my garage. Also more shelving, since parents dumped the rest of my poo poo on me when they were visiting (... didn't expect a full propane torch that was leaking, nor did I expect a handful of 60s and 70s Craftsman tools, but the extra shelving unit was nice). Need to haul a lot of poo poo to storage, but at least it's a really bright garage now. And every. single. light. has a different color temp. :argh:

150W incandescent equivalent (LED) in the ceiling socket. 32W fluorescent equivalent (LED) strip at the front. 2x32W T8 fixture off to the side. 60W incandescent equivalent (LED) in the door opener. Clip on lamp with 100W incandescent equivalent (CFL) off to the side.




Just when I had gotten it cleaned up enough to easily move around in. :sigh: At least Skelly is keeping me company out there now.

Totally unhinged 4AM rant warning.

I never have bad dreams except the recurring one where I gently caress up my cars. This time I hit the Aston with my dad's truck. Woke up in a cold sweat and had to do some work to calm down. My GF thinks I'm insane because I never get nightmares about normal stuff.

Speaking of, the speaker in the driver's side door is blown and the panel hiding the roof mechanism on the passenger side won't close. Dealership says it's gonna take 6 weeks(!) to get the parts in. At least I ran in to my sales guy while I was there today. He mentioned that they have a '16 AMG GT-S that just came back as a trade in and asked if I wanted to take it for a drive later this week. They also got a McLaren 670s, but his pre-owned manager wouldn't let him take it out - he already asked for me. ...I really like my sales guy.

And while the cork is off the bottle of rant, why is everybody at work incompetent? I'm getting a leeeetle bit tired of fixing poo poo, explaining poo poo, discovering that wrong poo poo has been done/ordered and fixing it, making sure A is done before B because the other way around is physically impossible... rrrrrgh.

Hooraaaaaay.... After already working out that our plantations are at their absolute limit for sustaining our current koala population and with the impact of the drought thats been going on for the last 5 months, I got told today that we're getting an additional 12 koalas in the next three months for breeding. Doesnt sound like much, but each koala will eat 60 pollarded trees worth of gum per year.

Time to magically pull another 700 or so trees in perfect condition out of my backside! Without any budget either mind you!

That moment when you decide 16GB of RAM isn't enough, so you toss in some random DDR3 you have sitting around.

And then Windows refuses to boot. 5 boot attempts, 5 different BSOD errors. Yank the random RAM back out, PC works fine.

At least I noticed two of my case fans poo poo the bed while I had the cover off.

1. What is 16 gigs not enough for
2. what are the timings of your current and new ram
3. is your current ram in dual channel, does the new ram support that
4. do the voltage requirements on all the sticks match?

Throwing slower or single channel ram you don't really need into a system already running in dual channel will probably do more harm than good.

MOAR IS BETTER, and I was sick of looking at RAM sitting on the shelf. It was just more of a "huh, I wonder if this will work.." moment.
No loving clue, the RAM is old enough that it's no longer on Crucial's website. I'm used to motherboards automatically catering to the worst stick, but there's a decent overclock going on the CPU, and a very mild RAM overclock. It might work if I run the auto overclock tool again, maybe?
Yes, and yes
Pretty sure. It gets through POST fine, and I can get into the BIOS settings. But as soon as the OS tries loading it goes to poo poo. e: just ran hwinfo64, yeah they're all 1.5v

This was just a "there's RAM on the shelf, I wonder if it'll work" moment. I don't NEED more than 16GB.

Hell, the card was "locked" to prevent any non-recurring charges from going through anyway.

He has to placate the koalas and feed them lest they turn into drop bears and start seeking out new, Toyota-driving food sources.

You do realise that Koalas have razor sharp claws that are as long as your pinky finger right? And when they've been hand raised and mollycoddled their entire lives they expect cuddles on a daily basis. And if you dont pick them up for a cuddle, they will climb you for a cuddle. And they weight up to 12kg.

Yes, Yes and not ALL of them- Theres a few wild populations on islands like Kangaroo Island that are still Chlamydia free, and we've got a Chlamydia and retrovirus free breeding population which is what makes it so important. I have seen the arboreal mammal forget how to koala and fall out of a tree many, many times before.

Its very much a rock and a hard place problem- In the wild, you wont see a koala older than about 8. Because we're giving them the best possible care, we've got koalas that are 14yrs old. Problem is that the old koalas all have various old age ailments that makes it very hard to use them for public interaction for long times without starting to get into sketchy animal ethics problems, so we need to increase our population of younger koalas for public interaction. Problem is, our old koalas just wont bloody die, so our population is increasing, but also aging. Kinda like how the baby boomers wont loving die.


As long as we get some decent rain and I can get access to some additional sites where we can do wild forage harvest for the next few years while some new plantations come online we SHOULD be able to pull this off.

So, I'd like to ask you a question about koalas and public interaction, if you're okay with it.

A friend of mine asked about booking an "experience" (for lack of a better word) where you can either pet a koala or hold a koala, among other animals. I think it's at Disney, or in the area, but I'm not entirely sure. About how on the level are these with the treatment of the animals? I only ask because my family did the whole "penguin painting" thing aaaaand it was awful and we regret it tremendously because of how the penguin was treated.
