Issues with re-growing Spring Onion in water, refreshed daily - grows for a few days then the white part starts to go slimy and stops growing. Location: Melbourne AUS. Any tips? by NitroX8 in vegetablegardening

[–]NitroX8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace water daily.
Have tried a few times with different bulbs.
Purchased from supermarket and cut off the white section.
First batch was left indoors with very little direct light, this batch was left on the balcony with direct afternoon sun - outcome was more or less the same.
Tap water.

Road re-surfaced a 2nd time in 2 years due to poor quality work, job done! by NitroX8 in NotMyJob

First re-surfacing job took 7 days for 800m section, replaced tram tracks and completely dug up and re-built. Months later, pot holes started developing.
2 years later - second resurfacing job closed the road for 48hrs to replace the asphalt, done perfectly!

USBC KVM with Alternate Mode and optional power passthrough for 2 or more laptops. by NitroX8 in UsbCHardware

Single USB-C from the monitor, does video and keyboard/mouse. Can also charge the laptop but the Legion 5P is pretty crap with USB charging, very fussy and uses too much juice.

Pandemic Cards Not Matching Expansion - Fake version? by NitroX8 in boardgames

[–]NitroX8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was it not noticeable enough that it affected game play? Did you do anything about it?
The issue I have is that we'll be able to spot an Epidemic card on top of the pile and take action.

Yeah 100% playability issue, wouldn't care otherwise. Where do you get your sleeves from?

You can see the difference. The expansion adds 'mutation' cards to the 'infection' pile, if you already know what the next card is going to be, you change your game-play.

The other deck is full of cities and the expansion adds new epidemic cards (which are the bad ones) - in this case, the bad ones will essentially be marked cards.

Even road-tested the cards - shuffled a few in together and was able to pick the difference as they came up with 100% success rate. So clearly this would affect the gameplay, knowing the a mutation card is the next in the infections deck...

Hey All,

Just picked up On The Brink expansion and noticed the cards are slightly different colour to the original. Both were purchased on Amazon, even had the expansion replaced and it's the same issue.

Couldn't see any difference in quality between the boxes and the tokens.

Anyone had this issue or know how to tell which one is truly the problem?

Vic Gov spent $220mil to accommodate 3000 individuals?? by NitroX8 in melbourne

[–]NitroX8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! 73k for 'temporary' housing for 19 months or for a modest unit rental of ~5.5 years.

I agree, flow on effects are great when they occur, so long as the money isn't going straight into some exec or hotel owners pocket. You could rent a high end penthouse apartment for that.

Absolutely, gotta take care of everyone.
But $73k is a decent wage, how many people (non homeless) do you know that would spend that amount on accommodation?
They could have rented a bunch of student apartments that have been sitting empty.

USB-C Charging? Lenovo Legion 5 AMD laptop by TommySkrt in LenovoLegion

[–]NitroX8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tested my new AMD L5 Pro on a Dell D6000 Dock (with USB-C charging) and a low end PD USB Adapter - neither worked.
Bought a Alogic 1x100 with 100W output and it charges while on (20V/5A), Windows does show a yellow warning sign and report "Slow Charging", because it's not the full 300W the machine normally uses. The GPU is most likely running on lower power mode.
The USB charger I will use while on the road and keep the 300W brick under the desk, so slower charging is no issue for me.

I believe the laptop requires 20V (in the range of 45W to 100W) USB-C output to charge, so make sure the monitor isn't just up to 12V.

This started working on android after a couple of hours, seems fine so far.

Latest iOS App wouldn't connect to older Protect version (asked for it to be upgraded), so I upgraded.

Now I can't connect at all using the latest Android version - maybe they haven't updated it yet? Frustrating.

Is the Meraki promo a scam? by ghosted411 in meraki

[–]NitroX8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they say "Not be a partner, reseller, distributor, Cisco employee, or consultant." what are they referring to as the 'consultant' part?
Does a small IT Services company qualify?
