@streakmachine Wow, just checked the Pnut gallery. It was pretty ferocious.
@tomas A box of 100 Twinings teabags weighs in at 200g & costs $11 unless discounted. Daintree tea is a really one, great taste & strength, a little goes a long way. 375g for $17.74 delivered from Queensland to Melbourne is a pretty good deal.
I used to be able to buy Daintree brand tea in the supermarkets but now you have to go directly to the grower/packager's website.
There I found a 250 gram bag of leaf tea was $15 including postage. However, for an extra $2.75 I can get the same deal with another 125 gram bag of tea added.
I used the last of my supply of Daintree Tea a week ago.
Weird. Downloaded a YouTube video of 3 min 16 sec length at 1080p quality using the y2mate process (add pp to the URL between youtube & .com, then follow up with the desired download).
It had doubled in length when downloaded and the audio had been stripped from it.
So I tried again, this time choosing 720p. That worked properly.
Very specific instructions for toasting frozen bread: “to toast frozen bread which has been removed from a freezer…..”
Seriously, would anyone actually use the toaster inside a freezer?
Repurposed a 200 GB HD from a clone backup of the iMac because it only had 6 GB remaining. It's now used to back up my 155 GB archive of disk images & compressed app installers accumulated over the last 15 years or so.
@hybotics I nearly had one of that configuration back in August, just before buying this iMac. I was contemplating the replacement of a 4 GB stick of RAM with one of 8 GB in a 2011 MacBook Pro with an SSD installed. It had 12 GB of RAM & I was thinking of going up to 16 GB.
But the motherboard interface with the video card died the very next day. That it for such a Mac: it was the first Mac to use tin-free solder & they didn't get it right. It was a known error, Apple offered a free fix up to five years after the purchase date of the thing: replace with a pre-used motherboard. Mine hadn't shown any problems so I didn't bother with the repair. It was 6½years old at its demise.

Spotted an SUV atop a flat-bed tow truck today, thought "don't see many of those anymore, particularly in that colour. Wonder if it's the Rev's?"
The "Rev" is an acquaintance who just can't stop preaching Biblical crap at anyone with a half-functioning ear. He also wears Hawaiian floral print shirts.
I managed to overtake the truck, and yes, sitting in the passenger seat, resplendent in one of his fancy shirts was "dear' old Reverend Ron.
Mazda really gets maximum value out of the CX-5 SUV platform. There’s the CX-5 itself, then the Mazda2 which is built on a shortened version and the CX-3 SUV that’s derived from the Mazda2.
Meanwhile, down Mexico way, Toyota Yaris & Mazda2 vehicles were/are manufactured from the same platform.
The Mazda2 case is a bit odd compared to the previous version. It’s longer and wider but less roomy in the passenger area. There headroom front & rear is reduced and there’s less front legroom.
My Mazda2 is the previous version. Rear headroom is barely adequate even then. The front headroom is quite generous & I don’t use all the legroom that’s available.
