The totally off-topic thread

Yeah - going by the wiki article that would be the case.

Most entities I knew went from '97 to '03 - me, I was still trying to get over the "castrating" of the underlying VB Macro script capability between Office '95 and Office '97 ...

There was definitely an Office XP. I've gone through every version of Office since '95, although I'm still running Office 2013 despite my being able to get Office 2016 for cheap (education licence). I'm debating whether to grab 2016 or wait until the next Office version. I'm not entirely sure what the new Office version offers that might be substantially better than what I have (most Google searches for blogposts or the like that attempt to give the Cliffs Notes on the differences between the two versions has mostly been pretty lame efforts), and unlike my previous positions, the "workplaces" where I am situated do not have the latest Office running that might have provide some incentive to upgrade.
 

What about the driver's seat??


I think that's your question. Driver's airbags are different to passenger side. Highly likely they have different parts that where made correctly.

BTW Helped Dad replace the steering wheel in his taxi once. That was fun. Had to deactivate the airbag sensor using a series of steps in the car but no visible indication that it was deactivated until the steering wheel was removed and the airbag wasn't set off. :shock:
 
Just wondering whether anyone here has had their Takata airbags replaced in their vehicles. I was notified of the problem in relation to my Honda CRV in July 2015, but since then zip.

Found this on a US blog:

"Toyota said it would begin to replace defective passenger-side inflators starting October 25[2015]; if parts are unavailable, however, it has advised its dealers to disable the airbags and affix “Do Not Sit Here” messages to the dashboard."

There is always this option from Police Academy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAPk9KZbdAE
 
The most difficult part of preparing a fine dish for a party is not the shopping for ingredients or even preparing the creation, but working out how to transport it to the venue intact.
 
Just heard on the local news that a light plane crashed on landing in DPO this afternoon - no one was hurt
Oh that's why they had runway issues in DPO yesterday afternoon. The MEL-DPO flight was delayed then delayed and delayed further.
 
Some companies are so dumb or just understaffed for certain jobs that problems just cascade.

I have been getting mail from the previous tenants I think there has been about 4 different names although only 2 names were on the paperwork.

So got another one from another postal address, and I accidentally opened it, they been gone 8 months and its an infringement notice from Brisbane City council for non payment of previous invoice from the toll road people.

I have been forwarding mail to the old owners; but one name they said just return to sender, so obviously they may have fallen out with them.

Looks like the toll road company has been too lazy to find the owner of the car and now forwarded the non payment to another company to deal with the issue.

Maybe I should forward it to the letting agent, and let them deal with it.
 
Today I realised I have almost 10 pairs of work pants that all fit me even though I haven't worn any of them for months. At what point do you decide you have too many clothes. Just packed a second bag of stuff for the Salvos. Could easily jettison more. It's nice to simplify sometimes.

Move a few times; that helps.

That reads like a quotable quote!
 
Some days you feel like you are not winning, today is one of them.

Although at least I didn't have to get out of bed at 5:00am to make it to the airport by 7am.
 
I think I'd be dead if I drank that many pints of cabernet.

My largest drinks bill for the week was: 5x pints castle draught, 2x bottles Castle, 1x Merlot, 1x Cabernet, 11 x bells, 2x absolut, 3x Olmeca Black (whatever that is :shock:) and 15 mixers = $100

My advice. Write "RTS not known at this address" on the envelope and drop it into a mail box. Not your problem, not worth your stress.

Itemised receipts for tax purposes helps. ;)

0400 Alarm for me this morning. Was very anxious about how to navigate to T1 at PER and drop off the hire car. Turns out that anxiety was well-founded :o
