Bureau of Metrology (BOM) - fUCKS UP agane.



Local area 7 day forecast - "Nice, warm, maybe a little rain Thursday, dry Friday":

4am Friday - thunderstorms rolling across - do the usual unplug everything that can be fucked by a lightening strike - as taking 2 minutes to unplug and replug them in - several times a year, is a lot easier and cheaper than replacing the chest freezer, the TV, the PC, the washing machine etc.

But NO thunderstorms were forecast - yesterday - Thursday afternoon - to Friday.

But at 4am Friday, the radar image showed this - with a HUGE storm running left to right (west to east), and downwards at about 45* from horizontal.



And the "district forecast" said this (like 5am on the Friday)

Forecast for the rest of Friday

Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of showers, becoming less likely this afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm this morning. Winds northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h turning northerly 20 to 30 km/h in the morning then decreasing to 15 to 20 km/h in the evening. Daytime maximum temperatures between 19 and 22.


And the 7 day forecast said this:

Forecast for the rest of Friday
Summary
    Max 21
    Showers easing.
    Chance of any rain: 90%
Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of showers, becoming less likely this afternoon. Light winds becoming north to northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h in the morning then tending north to northwesterly in the middle of the day.


Nice......

Back to the tea leaves.

Obama - is TOTALLY full of shit.

https://www.rt.com/usa/328707-obama-state-union-address/ US is 'most durable economy in the world' Obama in his last State Of The Union address. Published time: 13 Jan, 2016 02:30 President Barack Obama said his State of the Union address on Tuesday that America has “the strongest, most durable economy in the world” and called statements of economic decline "fiction." President Barack Obama’s last State of the Union address on Capitol Hill focused on the economy, technology, keeping America safe “without becoming the world’s policeman,” and how to make the country’s politics “the best in us, and not what’s worst.” President Obama said he wanted to talk about the next five years, ten years and beyond, “I want to focus on our future.” The first part of Obama speech referenced his administration’s achievement, unemployment cut in half, nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past six years, a strong economy.  Obama said anyone claiming America’s economy is in decline “i

HSBC Bank Australia Limited - a bunch of fucking arseholes.

My Review of HSBC in Australia: Firstly - to make this whole article easier to digest... The first bit is me basically being insane - "This is a BAD place to be doing business with". The second bit is about the management of HSBC being an outright pack of cunts, involved in laundering squillions of cocaine $$$$$ from Mexico via Australia, and back to the USA.... If you find my being off my dial with insane frustration to be a bit hard to chew, just scroll down to the ~~~~~~~~~~ separator, to get to the NASTY Corporate Crap. OK now into my grizzle.... "HSBC - I want to find out why, payments into my account, as well as payements from my account take 2 days longer than other banks, and take 3 days to show up on my account - respectively. Call the head office, ask to be put through to some one in Australia, who was born here and speaks english, and they put me through to a foreign call centre, with some twat who wants to ask me all these questions, so that he can put it i

Lenovo and IBM - the Great Motherboard Replacement Scam

Image
I have one of the Lenovo G570 Laptops. And this is really BAD. The first one is that the management of Lenovo have done a deal with Microsoft to install an Operating System on the hard drive, and they claim that allocating a "special area" of the hard drive for recovery purposes, is a solution in case of "some kind of OS / Hard Drive problem - but they do not give you a copy of the OS on a DVD, to reinstall it, in case the OS crashed or a new HDD was needed etc.... This means that IF your operating system corrupts, your going to be facing a HUGE and BAD uphill battle to get a copy of YOUR operating system from Lenovo. No doing on the spot brain surgery on your own lap top by reinstalling the OS... No. This comes down to you not getting a 20c DVD with your operating system on it, Vs. hours fighting with idiots on the phone and days and or weeks waiting around for the DVD to arrive - if ever. With the amount of down time a non working laptop can cost you in losses, you may
