Re: Gripe thread
Why do I have to get food poisoning (or gastro or whatever it is) so close to the freaking weekend!?!
Wouldn't have minded a few days off work too much but if I'm too sick to go out I'm gonna be really pissed...

I'm running a quadcore though, and ram has nothing to do with maxing out your VSTs - thats all CPU.Kaiproject wrote:
i was gonna say, 32b only uses 3gb ram. i used to have 2gb and easily maxed it out in ableton, but i probably just needed to bus and bounce down more instead of fx/vst whoring on every channel

i'd just never buy scotch fingers ever imo. unless they're laced with scotch.
tim tams alltheway!
Re: Gripe thread
I've been eating way too much chocolate (yes, there is such thing as too much chocolate - I've been there) and have cut Tim Tams out of my diet almost entirely.
Scotch fingers also have this awesome way of crumbling in hot milo. Its comfort food. Except for the Aldi ones which actually taste like cardboard.

My manager is making errors left right and centre. Everything she touches she makes 100 times worse, and yet is always in a meeting when the people ring to abuse us. I cop the flack and yet if Id done it, there wouldnt be flack. Hows about you leave it alone ey and leave it to those people who actually CAN do their job.

Re: Gripe thread
Why does this forum keep unsubscribing me from threads!? Is there a limit to how many threads you can subscribe to at the one time or something?
Re: Gripe thread
hm, quite possibly, or maybe you have to resubscribe every time you post in a thread? i've never used it, i just use the 'search new posts' ting.

Incorrect. Geelong won.
The umpire just didn't want them to.
Still didn't play that well & StK did their usual defensive/bomb it to Riewolt shite and it worked

Re: Gripe thread
Swans vs. Carlton is the first footy game I've seen which wasn't shit (I haven't seem many, they usually involve the Swans getting raped).
It was still really really scrappy though, is it ever fluid or is it always like that?

Re: Gripe thread
some games flow more than others, Sunday's game was relentless and hard fought as both sides where equally matched for three quarters (Swans took off in the first quarter)JAMESSSS wrote:Swans vs. Carlton is the first footy game I've seen which wasn't shit (I haven't seem many, they usually involve the Swans getting raped).

Scrappy probably isn't the best word to use to describe the game, I'd use the word Ruthless.
hard, gutsy, solid football.

China Mieville? Weirdly enough on Saturday night I was at Feddish at Federation Square for the 200th edition of Overland launch when I realised that the bloke standing next to me was China.

Re: Gripe thread
best thing to do is buy a property, rent it out to someone gullible and do the same thing to them. Only way to get justice imo.

I reckon just depends on how greedy the landlord is and how much they listen to the agent.youthful_implants wrote:best thing to do is buy a property, rent it out to someone gullible and do the same thing to them. Only way to get justice imo.
The agent who looks after our investment property was trying to get us to raise the rent, but not outrageously $10-$20 pw max, we said no leave it as is. We've only had one rent increase of $20 per week in 6 years in the house we live in. So feel we should share the good karma innit.
Free to those that can afford it, very expensive to those that can't.
