Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

they would be the second worse Scotty..... the top would be those that do that and then try to get people to pay or subscribe to get the information.......or have little messages on the side about donating to support the site.

Lately I've been gettin sites playing sound that persist when I close the window.

I hate it when they learn new tricks.

But I'm on a windows box. Mrs Bullwinkle, and my mum dont get bothered by such things because they are running linux.

Every year around this time, and especially after Christmas there is a large increase in the number of plastic Xmas trees being dumped in the recycling center. Before Christmas we might be able to sell a few, after they are landfill.
Personally I would like to see the GST on these things go up to 75% to stop some people throwing them away every year (and trust me I hate government taxation).

I am trying to encourage my 5yr old granddaughter to call her 'tree' Landfill then perhaps she will remember later, when she understands, the implications of these things.

This corporate driven Christmas crap really pisses me off , its nice to get the family together, but do we really need all this bullshit.

its not just christmas, corporations drive and own everything, including you and I.
the world is *frack* and the quicker the new gen come through and have french style revolution the better.

This would be the mobile phone generation would it? They are going to sit around the guillotines and text the *sigh* to death

lol yea in a way, but dont dismiss them yet, your generation have done nothing but *frack* things up, they are the only ones who can undo the damage of the old, have some faith or we are all *frack*.

just hope they pay enough tax to cover all our pensions and medicare...... else the current 'middle aged + retiring' generations will all be fracked anyway.....

yea, lets hope the greedy arseholes that ignorants call "leaders" (really voted in dictators) are nice enough to give us all pensions when we are older..... because you know they will always get one....

Snotty nosed salesmen Yesterday rang around looking to buy a 42 in hd tv
Started at the good guys
42 in tv I need a brand name [that's what my tv repair man recommended ]
This jvc has just been marked down $100 its cheaper than all the others
So I rang my men jvc[ i wouldent touch it jvc don't make tvs any more another mob picked up the name and makes cheapies in china and sticks jvc on them for the good guys ]
Ok I ring Harvey norman
I need a price on a good brand name 42 in tv
Did you see it in a catalogue [no I need a price on a 42 in tv]
How much do you want to spend
[me why]
Him I don't want to sell you a $1500 tv when you want to spend$500
[Me ok what's the brand of a $42 in tv that costs $1500]
Him we don't have one
[Me how about we start again a price please of a well known brand 42 in tv
Him we have a hiinsence [sounds like ]

Him how much do you want to spend
Me man you are a fu;']ng dick head and hung up
Today I am going into Harvey norman to see the manager
I mite be a grumpy old bugger but I know what I want

I found HVN to be up to 10% more expensive than Dick Smith but since they're gone I've got stuff from JB or Good Guys.
I tell them what make I want and let them do the running around.

Pete.

JB & Good Guys are now the one company or owned by the one parent company ...or will be shortly.

Not sure who your TV man is Milne but I would put Hisense as a midrange TV not some company that buys reject panels etc. They also have the best warranty in Australia.
Yes I have one 51" 4k smart tv mainly watched by my granddaughter.
Ringing round is no good you go down to a store and when you are given a price be a little reluctant and see how much you can get them down.
42" these days is pretty small so you might get a good price on a 'named' brand.

Handy tip for joining forums that are not quite as honest as BYAP.

BYAP hasnt given my email address to anyone.

If you create a gmail account eg bullwinkleII @ gmail.com (not my real account, and the spaces either side of the @ are just in case someone does own that email address, and gets spammed by bots that read posts), when you subscribe to something (say bastardcompany pty ltd), or join a forum, you can leave your email address like this ...

bullwinkleII+bastardcompany @ gmail.com

Google's mail server will ignore anything after the plus, but if you click the little "to me" arrow next to the "from" address in gmail, you will see the "to" address as bullwinkleII+bastardcompany @ gmail.com.

This way you can track the bastards selling your email address.

If you see spam from a hamburger joint that thinks your email address is bullwinkleII+bastardcompany @ gmail.com, you know who they bought it from.

Bastards!

I currently have 3,742 unread emails in the account I keep for subscribing to things. I only ever check it when I need to click to confirm a subscription or something.

3,742!




And I note that that screen grab has one more spam email since I started writing this

thats a nice trick, ill have to remember that

It looks like it works for hotmail as well. Perhaps it works everywhere
