TIL my 2005 2.3 GHz dual-core G5 PowerMac outperformed a Dell with a 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 under a specific Adobe photo processing test. It was significantly out-doing the Dell by a factor of 57%.
Numbers aren't everything.
@matigo Sweden used drive on the same side as UK, Australia, NZ & Japan but changed in early 1967. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagen_H

@streakmachine Suzuki have a new iteration of the Ignis Sport coming out this year. It's a tall, narrow, short 2WD mini-SUV weighing around 800 kg & powered by a 1.2-litre engine.
Absolutely nothing like the previous Ignis Sport like the 2006 one I had.

Virtually every suburb has a particular supermarket chain outlet, but of those I can only think of two in a 45km radius that make a certain flat bread that's extra soft compared to normal pita breads. I visited one such shop today: I also bought some red onion & green capsicum which I've cut to 2mm thick with the new deli slicer.
I have some cheese & roast turkey also sliced to that size.
Dinner tonight will be what I call pizza rollups.
Tomato, then sliced cheese, turkey, capsicum & onion strewn over a flat bread that's rolled up & heated in a microwave oven.
With a wet-hopped oatmeal ale (marketed as WHOA! by the brewer).
@skematica I was given such a job back in 1986, it was an F350 light truck. Great wide horror of a thing with a detuned petrol engine from the local Falcon car range. This thing got 9 miles per gallon on petrol and 6mpg on LPG. Evil personified and with a wider turning circle than a train.

Siri, should be able to detect that I have everything set for 24-hr time. So when zi ask for a 2:30 alarm, DON'T FUCKEN SET ONE FOR 14:30! Cunt of a thing.
Near neighbours are fucken partying again with dubious tinny-sounding "music" and tasteless inebriated squealing. Reason for celebration: it's Australia Day, which I maintain, should be held on the 8th of May.
As in May 8, pronounced "maate."
@matigo I haven't had good fish 'n' chips for about 8 hours……

Colonel Thomas Davey, Lieutenant Governor of the colony of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) from 1813 to 1817 invented a cocktail called Blow My Skull. It consisted of two pints of boiling water, a pint of rum & ½ a pint of brandy.
David Hunt, in "True Girt," the Unauthorised History Of Australia, Volume two, writes: "Davey would drink anything, as long as it had been brewed, distilled, fermented or drained from the bladder of a hobo sleeping rough outside an unguarded methylated spirits factory."
He also writes: "The twin gods of Inebriation & Irony had smiled on Thomas his entire life, as he was born to a woman named Temperance Wynes."
