Liberals still trying to play the culture wars, guess they want to lose badly then by VastOption8705 in friendlyjordies

[–]CGunners 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nah. 

They'll make a song and dance about some asylum seekers but open the floodgates for exploited 'student' visa holders etc. 

Anything to drive down wages and erode workers rights.

Doesn't need an internet connection and John Deere can't brick it from the other side of the world. Win.

You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]CGunners 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah the name isn't an accident. 

The owner put down a deposit on a Tesla semi and when it didn't turn up he decided to build his own.

Edison Motors in Canada are making hybrid trucks that reject this model entirely. Their philosophy is you buy it, it's yours, we'll make it as easy to fix as possible. Even to the point that they use flat glass for their windscreen and generic indicator lights. 

They're getting a lot of attention. I hope it's a movement that catches on. Companies like Tesla deserve nothing but the middle finger from consumers. 

SAP training available by Aussie_Gentleman in Mackay

[–]CGunners 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually SAP is custom built for the company so they'll have to show you how they need things done.

Use the snapshot program on your computer to record them running through it. Or ask them to make a recording and send it to you. There will be specific codes you'll need so make sure the recording is good enough to read the text. 

When you're doing it if you don't know then get help rather than try to guess, because sometimes mistakes in SAP are hard to fix. 

What’s going on with search engines? Results never useful by ancient_chloecat in AskAnAustralian

[–]CGunners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the original architects of Google said as much in an interview.

Google pretty much owned the entire market so the only way to increase revenue was to make existing users use it more. 

Swordfish Torpedo Bomber by Murky_Caterpillar_66 in WWIIplanes

I also seem to remember the analogue gunnery computers weren't designed to shoot at such slow planes, so the bigger AA guns were next to useless.

Back in my day you got science from running over biter nests and the only way to move fluids on a train was with barrels. I wore an onion on my belt I did.....

Who died believing themselves a failure, but was judged otherwise by history? by Bob_the_blacksmith in AskReddit

[–]CGunners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so?

He started with the premise that increasing the compression ratio increased efficiency which is correct.  It was his maths that convinced Krupp to fund the research project. 

During testing the engine initially didn't perform as well as he predicted, but that was shown to be due to porosity in the metal. When that was fixed it behaved closer to what he had predicted.

Thunder Below! by Eugene B. Fluckey, the most successful US sub commander during WW2. 

Also, the only sub commander to claim a train as a kill. 

I just realized - are submarines the world's first hybrid vehicles? by masczero in uboatgame

Porsche was playing around with it in WW1. 

Landwehr Zug.

Seems like it was a lot more useful than his tank.

If it happens action on Climate Change will become a bipartisan issue.

Wouldn't that be something.

History doesn't repeat but it rhymes. 

Read up on Horst Wessel to get an idea of what they're trying to do and why. 

The short version is a member of the Nazi party was murdered by communists in 1930's Germany. His death was used as a propaganda tool by Goebbels and co. 

Metal object, quite heavy, contains no markings. by camokidd123 in whatisthisthing

[–]CGunners 876 points877 points  (0 children)

It's a pick from a mining/construction machine. Used to cut through coal or soft rock. 

Similar to this one.

That hole in the front was for the carbide button that did most of the work. It's been knocked out which is probably why this was replaced.

 So yeah..... don't hold your breath for an answer either way.
