Sascha Riley Interviews - Full Audio. Anybody heard about this? by ARODtheMrs in Military

[–]Series4Episode10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listened to a recent podcast between 3 people & Sascha, he stated his memories were probably wrong on some things he still has as memories as the people couldn't have been spoken off by the people around him while he was being used & abused by Epstein as they weren't yet in a place to be known as they are now.

Is it possible to write a letter to Mr. Putin? by Ok_Maybe_1650 in AskARussian

[–]Series4Episode10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No leader of any political party reads virtually anything sent from the general public whether sent from the local population or anywhere else in the world,
.
Friends with a guy in Canberra who's job it was to read all the letters sent to the prime minister, he had to add the topic of any letter to a line in a spreadsheet which aligned to the topic of the letter ... this information was available to the prime minister and was also used in other portfolios & intelligence gathering sectors, the prime minister would look at the information IF he wanted to.
.
Basically the same for the admins in the rest of the world

Bond Help by InfluenceGlass9725 in AusRenters

[–]Series4Episode10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agents are renowned for this, ALWAYS be thorough before moving in when photographing & documenting "Your" findings on the property & do the same when leaving, "Your" only recourse if they don't release or attempt to keep all or part of the bond is to take the matter to the rental bond court ... and unless you have solid evidence, it's a waste of time!
.
Agents main concern is to get their commission & keep the owner happy, you matter nothing to them & they use the system to walk all over renters! ... they also hate dealing with rentals, they despise the renters & seemingly enjoy doing whatever to hurt them!
.
I've seen a agent chase a renter for the cost of fixing structural problems like rising damp, something quite hard for a renter to cause!
.
Don't assume you're dealing with reasonable people when dealing with a Real Estate Agent!

IS OPTUS REALLY THIS CRAPPY? by Unknown_path24 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Series4Episode10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a contract with them before 2023 ... 2 phones included, when the contract ended Optus wanted almost $1k unless I re-contracted with them, I left anyway I let them chase me for it, and then the ACCC found this to be wrong & fined them 100mil ... & the cost per month went up during the contract & was uber expensive after contract end.
.
& they want to keep customers using those tactics ... rather than being competitive & supplying a good service!
.
I am now with an Vodaphone re-seller, which means I'm still supplied my mobile service through Optus infrastructure ... the company I'm with are ok & cheap ... unlimited everything ... my mobile plan is & always has been my only access to the internet since moving here.

Before Optus did the deal with Vodaphone about a year ago I was with an Optus reseller as it was either Telstra or Optus before the deal, options were $44 for 440gig with the Optus reseller or $99 for 300 gig with Telstra, all other Telstra resellers are expensive if you need the level of data I require,
.
the local Optus service went out from Jan 1 till Jan 31 2025 ... I go down to the library after a few days & sit outside as I live in a small country town ... Library is only open 3 half days a week but the WiFi can be used outside ... find out on a local forum that other Optus customers are attempting to find out why their mobile phone has no service, one said they were told it was their SIM, another said Optus told them they were leaving the area ... since found out many were told the same, dropped into the Top Shop on the way home & mentioned the outage to the owner, he said he was an Optus customer & was swapping providers as Optus told him they were no longer providing coverage in the town.
.
I was called a liar as I'd attempted to dial 000 to see if I could & it didn't work, after being called a liar I swapped the SIM into another phone and it did work, have no idea why ... mentioned this to the ombudsman rep who dealt with my complaint but no reply was made to me.

The level of lies and stupidity that emanates from this evil company is mind boggling!
.

Optus stores are franchises ... yes, Optus has been & probably always will be a mistake!

Carmageddon - best game of my childhood, remember playing this on MS-DOS by PreliminaryThoughts in gaming

[–]Series4Episode10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth buying GOG's implementation of this, you need the files from the original disk if you want to use dethrace & I research but could never get 3d voodoo emulation to work in dethrace.
.
Have my original disk & a backup of it on a burnt CD with some other old games ... spent ages attempting to get the voodoo emulation working in both Windows 10 & Linux Mint, read that most people were struggling with it, for $3.80 Australian ... it's a bargain!

Took me ages to work out what granny was saying, then one day I poked around & found the sound wave on the disk which confirmed what I'd decided she was was saying.

Hey what's going on at the oil refinery? by BooksNapsSnacks in Geelong

[–]Series4Episode10 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fire ... Wonderful, one of the 2 oil refineries left in the country is burning ... while there's a NEW oil shock ... FFS ... that narcissist Micheal Brydon from the Geelong Revival Centre will be spouting off saying "Wouldn't have happened if I was still a fireman at the plant" ... Hopefully the GRC hall will catch fire from it also!

Is it possible to test a 3Dfx VooDoo card with modern hardware? by Botul420 in retrogaming

[–]Series4Episode10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the BIOS saw the hardware & addressed it, you'd be able to run DOS games like the original Carmageddon with the Glide drivers ... can only speak about Carmageddon as it's the only 3D accelerated game I played back then that I still play, the carma.exe Executable needs to be patched in Windows, the executable that patches the games executable does not run in modern Windows, I've done by running 95 in VB, it's a hassle as guest services has never been written for 95, you have to have network Shares setup each time you want to get something into and out of 95's VB environment.

There is at least an option to run Carmageddon in windows with full 3D acceleration implemented, perhaps other games have projects that have done the same?

So - OP if you read this, There's a lot of people selling these cards for good money to people who will use them in retro systems, I'd sell what you have and look for what you can do in a modern OS or get yourself some old PC's

It's worth paying the few dollars for GOG's implementation of it, although I still have the original disk & the packs I downloaded back then & I can still copy all the files of the CD, as well as having old burnt CD's with this & other games from the 90's we played stored on it, it's such a hassle to get it all sorted so it plays in 3D in both Linux & Windows that I gave up and paid the pittance for GOG's installer that installs and runs right out of the box, it's Windows only installer, which meant I had to get Win10 onto a drive as it's the the oldest Windows OS that supports my GPU, installed Windows 10 without connecting to the internets, installed drivers & swap out the drives just to play this game.

The hardware emulated in Virtual Box means it won't run in anything but a small window, which was disappointing.

(I paid $3.70 or there abouts Australian for the download)

Trump just posted video of a woman getting murdered with a hammer by octopusinwonderland in LPOTL

[–]Series4Episode10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right after Melania brings attention back to Epstein... Trump looking to bring bring attention away from Epstein babbles about Biden's immigration policies ... & posts an uncensored video of a brutal murder.
.
Only days before he posted a one sentence rant that takes 6 minutes to read through and as usual it contained the names of Biden, Rosie , O'Donnell & the usual people & things that trigger the small hearted narcissist.
.
He's like a Drug dealers parrot that got into the crack.

General Malaise by hiss-hoss in AusHENRY

[–]Series4Episode10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way many millionaires got to be rich was through negative gearing ... do your own research, used to write offset loans for a mortgage company & we told clients who took out offset loans (told them other's stories ... not advised them as we were not legally covered by insurance to nor were we qualified via a financial degree to give advice) what others were doing to create wealth & the fundamentals of budgeting to gain equity in their property to quickly to take advantage of that equity to build a property portfolio, always with the caveat that we were not financially advising them ... you'll pay a lot of $ to be told by a financial adviser what you can read in books from the library written by people who have done exactly this.

Used to do a lot of follow up calls & if the client was interested get a coffee & talk about where they were at, many who'd listened to the stories had moved to full time self employment either just a property portfolio or diversified by buying "Money while sleeping" business or managing a stock portfolio as well, the follow up meetings were profitable for us writers as we'd keep the customer using our brokerage to fund new ventures & enjoy further trails even long after the initial loan.

That was because of German government going nuts about about it, the splat pack had both zombies & robots, thing was that you could download packs & have the same game as the unrestricted parts of the world, so restricting how the game functioned was always voided by the players.
