I was going to ask if it is at least nearly empty, but is full, isn't it? It's always full.

It's got 1/3rd tank in it. The fuel pump has died in it before, however one thing I haven't checked is the fuse for it. I'll do that and also check with my mechanic that dad used to get the ute serviced with to see if I have missed anything before sending the ute to him.

The short films that Blomkamp's doing on his Oats youtube channel are really interesting though.

I've literally just this minute finished watching Zygote. The weird reptilian one was the best but the creature in this is the most interesting. It seems like some of the ideas are decent but I don't really have much faith Blomkamp can pull his head out of his arse long enough to objectively consider what he's doing.

D9 was great, Elysium pretty good, Chappie just arse. The latter bummed me out because the premise of a learning AI being brought up like you would a baby is great, but then you introduce Die Antwoord who poo poo up the screen for 90 minutes and have other characters do the dumbest stuff imaginable in a weird mash up of Robocop and Short Circuit which lacks even a small amount of the charm either of those films have.

I'm hoping to be surprised by the new Blade Runner, Villneuve has put out some good films.

Also if you break down almost anywhere in the UK you are still only like 30 minutes at most from a place that can tow you, and there's not many places without cell phone coverage. In the US, the prospect of breaking down scares people because they envision themselves in this situation (even though they never actually drive to places like this):



So I think in the UK people are just more tolerant of unreliable vehicles, generally.

Hey that looks like where I was last week!

Anyway, I hope I get it finally today, but unlikely as it's delivery time around now and no one has come yet.

Nah, its dry as dry can be up there at the moment, nothing but dust so no mud coating this time.

Places down around Craddock have had less than 10mm of rain this winter- the publican at the hotel said that he's just had 2000 lambs drop and he'll probably loose ~1000 to starvation cos you can feed em grain when they're new born or their stomachs will explode, and if the mums are starving they'll just turn off the milk and walk away from the lambs. Every blade of grass is dead.

Yeah Bad Moms had a drat GIRL moment or two in it for Kristen Bell as well. In fact she played against type pretty well in that movie. Dumb and predictable but I'd stare at Mila Kunis reading the phone book for 2 hours.

Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus. Seemed like a good starter option.

I was about to buy a new one, then saw a guy selling one with a couple of upgrades for £100 less, so bought that. Figured £100 should cover any fixes, though in theory it's all working and good to go. We shall see.

Sup summer buddy :smith:

I'm at the point where I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the money to fix the ac in my car, or spend a similar amount of money to replace the whole car.

Paid a friend (who's been working in a shop for over a decade) to throw a new compressor in a week and a half ago, got a week of glorious cold air, but with the car struggling to maintain highway speeds and mileage nose diving.


that last dot - the compressor locked up when I was down to about half a tank, so the mileage went back up a bit afterwards.. haven't filled up again since, but I have well over 200 miles on this tank and still have over 1/3 of a 13 gallon tank left, so I think I'm back to my normal mpg.

Best I can figure, he dumped entirely way too much oil in it. Pulled the compressor today. Dumped out about a cup and a half of oil going by my measuring cup (total system capacity is 8 oz... compressor alone should hold about 5 oz, 1 cup is ~8 oz), with a side of sparkly bits. Dem sparkly bits and chunky bits probably mean I get to replace a whole lot more than just the compressor this time, right?

I'm not bitter. I'm not pissed off. Nope. Not me. Not one motherfucking bit. why would I be pissed off? I only spend 8+ hours a day in the loving car.

I've got a wanhao i3 too, so give me a shout if you need help or want advice.
Definitely a Solid machine for the price and you can get great prints off it once you have it dialled in.
has a few flaws though. As soon as you get it home you should open the case up and check the condition of the connector for the heated bed before you think about leaving it printing unattended. Mine melted the lovely connector and part of the board so I have it wired through a relay now (after fixing the board) and I have a RAMPS board waiting for me to fit it instead.

When you start off playing - getting the bed position right is key, and then get PLA printing down before you start even thinking about ABS. And if you want to use it in a room at standard UK varied ambient temp then you will want to make an enclosure for it.

Cool, thanks. I think the wiring may be different on the plus, though, as it has the power supply and other gubbins integrated into it rather than a standalone box.

Either way I'll have a poke around it before using it in anger.

Kristen Bell is not known for having large bosoms. She had just had a child when production on the VM movie started. Boobs are bigger at that stage. It was quite noticeable on her.
