What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Interesting. I knew there was no need to defrag an SSD, and that it was bad for them but wasn't sure why.

 

the closest thing SSDs have to "De fragging" is Trimming

 

its an operation that lets the OS tell the SSD exactly whats been deleted so the SSD can free up and erase each NAND block properly etc

 

otherwise without TRIM if you fill up an SSD with stuff, then format it, while the OS knows its formatted, the SSD itself wont know this and will still think its full, which can lead to issues etc...

 

(on magnetic media writing to a spot is the same regardless if its empty or if there is data written, however on SSDs writing to a spot where theres data is much slower then if the spot really is empty)

 

hopefully this all makes sense

Interesting stuff! And all news to me, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit...

Earlier I noticed on my local Facebook marketplace someone was selling an unused coffin, the reason for sale being no longer required. (And yes, I did consider buying it, but wasn't sure if it was my size, in any case have already asked my family to use an old carpet and roll me up in it)

 

PS if I was selling I'd have advertised it as an unwanted Valentine's present.

Any pictures ? and how much are they asking as I could do with one for the hearse, but it would have to be cheap or one of those really ornate ones.

No longer required? Have they found a cure for death? Decided to give the mother in law one last chance? I love Facebook ads

Rather surprisingly it went pretty quick, there is one in an antique shop in Bridgend, it's been there a while, I'll check if it's still there and get a photo, It was a tv prop, but did look the part. In do know someone who has a fantastic orbnate gothic tin coffin cover (you put the cheap coffin inside for the funeral, but, take it out for the burial), they won't sell it to me.

I’m not sure how there’s space for the tank, but run on LPG this must be one of the cheapest ways to zip about!

Bought a bargain of a Citroen picasso for a ton. Decent interior but engine was shagged as was the exterior. I've swapped the interior over into mine,removed the towbar for mine too. That's a couple of hundred quid to buy an interior with doorcards and a towbar second hand on eBay for a start. Also have the lights for sale front and rear and relieved the boot struts for mine too. Still managed to sell the remains and the cat for 120 quid. I have some scrap to weigh in and the battery to weigh in too for a few more quid.and I had the sense to remove a straight section of exhaust to use as a decat pipe on mine too so I can get rid of the cat for another few Bob. All in all a nice little money spinner.

You know when you were a teenager and got mildly drunk on crap alcohol at a friend's house?  That's how watching this makes me feel.  It's great.

There is no excuse for this. Kill it, kill it now. It is the Enemy.

 

(Yes, I detest them. But yes, I meant this comment with humour. Anyone that is 'offended' can GTF, all the way TF.)

I'm not offended you don't like the car but can I be offended that you think others may be offended so therefore making presumption?!

I would have stayed. And planned world domination.

All you need is a clip board, a lanyard, a fake ID and the right high visibility work wear.

I'm a bogus official. Let me in.

I utterly hate Picasso's but I really like Scenic II. What does that make me?

 

(Around here I actually see more knackered Scenics than Picassos)

And anti-cubist, regardless of the round shape of the object.

[loserone]

Hatred of Citroen Picassos merely demonstrates that you haven't driven Scaryoldcortina's.

[bub2006]

Scary cortinas picasso is the red and silver one? I owned that when it was just red and rust with an oil leak that would shame the hexxon Valdez and not much compression. Chompy bought it and shoehorned a ew10 engine to the manual box and it was a bit of a quick machine

The breaker was an 05 with 120k in clock. Was in fair worse condition than mine which is an X reg so a very early one with 180k.

That's the badger. Its been out with a customer for a while, but yes it's a hoot to drive.

 

I have an EW10 to go in my 405, I just* need to take some time off work to hoik the engine out of the 206 shell it's sitting in. And/or make lots of tea and try not to get in Scaryoldcortina's way.
