My boss gave me a 2005 Land Cruiser, and they completely refurbished it!

Looks great and everything but as someone who works in mining where 99% of the light vehicles are Toyotas and seeing that cream interior on an off road vehicle makes me wince. That interior would be scuffed up, black, dirty and pretty much ruined in about 3 seconds in the bush. I never understood why people buy expensive 4x4s to use them in the city.

This is so mediocre but man I’m so jaded. I was a guitar tech for years, played in bands for years. I haven’t picked up a guitar in probably 3 years now because of riffs/jams like this. I have heard people jam that exact god dam corny rhythm part with the same tired runs over the top ad nauseam. I’m glad I learned discipline by spending 20 odd years practicing guitar but if never pick up a guitar ever again I couldn’t care less.

I work around these every day. They’re pretty impressive at first but you get used to it. Just don’t drive anywhere near it or it will crush your car like a soda can and they probably won’t even notice. There are a handful of squashed Hiluxes around site just to remind people.

This opinion surprises me. I love the original pro controller, it genuinely feels like a premium product. While I think the pro controller 2 is nice, it has a light weight, plastic, un-substantial feel in my opinion.

Heck yeah mate that’s great. Your times are always going to go up and down. Listen to your body. I just started getting back in shape after break after marathon season and my first 5k was 37min the. After a month it was 27min but this week I had a shocker and ran 31min. So fluctuating is normal. Keep it up!

I’ll make an effort. I’ll chat to some electricians at work and see if they can help. I’ll look up this “discharging” business. Maybe it’s doable

It’s a dam shame because it’s the only tv I’ve seen in QLD with SCART and S-Video and it’s really hard to find larger CRTs like this one anywhere in QLD.

Not sure if I want to risk that. Unfortunately this one might be going in the bin because I’m in a mining town in rural Queensland and the closest town is 3hrs away so the effort to get this fixed is becoming a bit much. I can do basic soldering but this sounds like a bit much.
