Shipping from Best to UK .. via Freight Forwarder

That's interesting. He said something along the same lines when I last made an enquiry. No idea what he meant, though, so you've cleared that up for me at least. -
PC been down for a few weeks. Ordered a 5800X3D at a stupidly low price. Usually £320, but got for £205. Open box unit from Scan. 1 per customer.

Picked up the new car on Monday. Honda ZR-V. A self-charging hybrid but it's a bit like driving a computer. Never seen such a thick manual for a car before!!
-
The manual for the car we recently picked up comes in multiple volumes and eats up nearly three-quarters of the glove compartment. At a guess, based on the size of the main manual, it's probably over 700 pages in total.
Interesting how the less-involving cars become to drive, the more documentation that is required to operate them is apparently necessary.
-
Pretty sure this is close to 700 pages. It feels like one of my old law textbooks. Not sure why they wrapped it in cellophane, though. To protect the secrets of the car until the new owner has to actually figure something out? It'll ONLY fit in the glove compartment. It won't fit anywhere else. Which is a good thing. I must have scraped enough tobacco out of the last one's glove box to make 20 cigarettes. There's now no room for the wife to mess this one up.

4.8? Pffft! We had a 5.4 here once. I was in my bedroom and it sounded like a truck going past. House and door shook. My mum didn't hear or feel a thing. She was outside hanging out the washing.

For a very short while, I was following an earthquake tracker. There are several of those, with different front ends and perhaps sometimes different input data. I see the latest one was in New Jersey just short of two hours ago.
The site Earthquake Track says there have been:
- 122 earthquakes (M1.5 or more) in the past 24 hours
- 870 earthquakes in the past 7 days
- 3,495 earthquakes in the past 30 days
- 51,311 earthquakes in the past 365 days
Of course most are small, at great depth, at sea or in mostly uninhabited locations but the fact they're recording more than 100 shakes per day worldwide is rather impressive.

@x=usr(1536) I suppose you should kind of expect it in LA but not around here. I think it's still the biggest, or second biggest, known to hit the UK. We have had a few but that's the only one I've ever knowingly felt. There is a small fault line under the Menai Straits, which is the reason Anglesey's separated from the mainland. On that occasion, we were probably about 20 miles from the epicentre. Weird thing was me thinking it was a truck going past. We lived in a housing estate with fairly narrow streets. It was basically a square. No chance of a truck of any description making its way around there.

The human body is primarily comprised of carbon (C), Oxygen (O), Hydrogen (H) and Nitrogen (Na). So, arguably, you're 100% NaCHO.

@Atarian7 Yeah, you're right. Didn't think it looked right. 😂

Just seen a coach for an MLS team complaining about having to play in snow. I was thinking "what?" When I was a kid, it was normal to see matches played in snow on TV.

The women's team in Piteå, Sweden regularly play in snow during the late fall.

Uh, no. Not 750W, 850W. Just arrived. Man, this thing feels like a chunky boi. It's heavy.
-
Yeah, that's something I'll probably do. I have developed an issue with the sound on my motherboard as well but everything else seems to be okay. Probably got screwed up with all the on/off/on/off BS. Just seen a deal on a refurbed 750W Corsair modular PSU (the one I have was a refurb). At the end of the day, I don't want to send the GPU back only to be told it's working.

A couple of weeks ago I started to get some boot problems with my PC. It would seem to boot but fail to display something. After a couple of attempts it would usually start up properly. Then I started to get glitches in Assetto Corsa Competizione, usually in night races, where cars would disappear, I'd get big frame stutters and the other cars' lights would go out. It seemed to settle down a bit once there were fewer cars in the immediate vicinity later on in the game. Last night the PC failed to boot at all. No activity whatsoever. So just spent a few hours stripping it apart and cleaning off the mountains of dust. Managed to bend the pins in my Ryzen in the process but luckily discovered the "stanley blade" method to straightening them out again. Anyway, put it together and it was alive but still the same issue with failing to show any display much of the time. Found my RX 570, put that in and everything seems to be okay. I bought the RX 6800 XT back in July so it's still under warranty but I'm not able to pin down for certain whether it's that or if the PSU is failing. It's a 650W Corsair PSU that I bought when I first put this machine together. As I recall, the Gigabyte AORUS motherboard I have was a new release and it was released in late 2018. So, it's coming up to 6 years old. Anyone have ideas which one it's most likely to be?

Drop zone and Rescue on Fractalus would be nice.

Finally bought a PS5 on Tuesday. Came with MW3. Still not played it. HOW MANY DOWNLOADS DO YOU NEED FOR A GAME YOU GOT ON DISC??

I'm of the opinion that if Isaac Newton had intended us to fly, he wouldn't have invented gravity.

"Diplomatic imunity." ... "Has just been revoked". RIP Joss Ackland. Great baddie in one of my favourite movies.

Missed all the fun in the How f***Ed are we thread. Disappointing.
