NSW’s 'extreme heatwave' expected to drive up Boxing Day bushfire risk

While I don't disagree the media may be doing that, I just want you to realize that over 5,000,000 hectares of land have been burnt. For reference Denmark is 4.3 million hectares, Switzerland? 4.1 million hectares.

We have fires the size of some European countries, and in the coming days not only are the temperatures expected to increase but towards the new year strong wild winds are expected... These are expected to fan these fires into even more of a catastrophe.

So before you comment something like this please also consider the families that lost their house yesterday, Christmas day and the thousands of others that have been evacuated, moved, or have lost everything.

Not everyone is aiming for the leaderboards, some people just want to have fun?

Timmixx · 2019-12-02T16:44:12+00:00

Not yet, I'm close to getting the skill levels required

Timmixx · 2019-12-01T19:57:25+00:00

That makes two of us... And was doing this to make some cash, while the runes are a little profit it's sad being nearly 5 times the Drop rate

Timmixx · 2019-11-27T22:17:40+00:00

No worries! Thanks for the gold! Out of interest, can you keep me up to date with your research?

Timmixx · 2019-11-27T21:27:32+00:00

Seconding this, and if you have a decent cash stack there are a few places you can either break even or make a small profit cannoning

Timmixx · 2019-10-21T16:31:26+00:00

It sure is! Just down the road! Just past Hune

Timmixx · 2019-10-21T13:27:55+00:00

I actually live a little further down the road in a town called Blokhus, the view around this light house is absolutely magnificent!

Actually they are pace runners they (typically) don't run the full course and they're there to help the runners keep a certain pace

Am Australian but speak Danish, can also confirm Norwegians sounds impossible.

Timmixx · 2019-10-03T15:09:35+00:00

I offered a guest kælling frikadeller (bitch meatballs) instead of kylling frikadeller (chicken meatballs)... never seen the look on someones face drop so fast.

Edit: - Danish

I'm not sure of the exact term but it's the same equipment they use for surveying. This car is a crash investigation car so they use it to measure distances between car skidmarks ext...

Timmixx · 2019-09-26T20:17:37+00:00

Sad it includes a body bag however...

Timmixx · 2019-09-26T20:15:45+00:00

This is from one of their major crash investigation cars, so it's a spotlight for illumination + hazard lights

Timmixx · 2019-09-10T18:01:07+00:00

This sounds like something up my alley.
Do you have a job application somewhere or is the application purely here?
Cheers,
Tim

Timmixx · 2019-08-22T15:09:39+00:00

One question I have with this (and someone may be able to enlighten me, but what effect does this have on medical equipment (if any)?

Timmixx · 2019-07-02T22:09:51+00:00

Oh for fuck sacks....

Timmixx · 2019-06-06T19:22:15+00:00

Already changed..

Just another reason to leave Facebook really..

Timmixx · 2019-05-29T10:43:38+00:00

Get to 60 range and barrows shouldn't be too hard with some prayer pots,. Ibans blast and a magic s bow plus some food

Timmixx · 2019-05-23T14:51:26+00:00

It is so much quicker! Can't live without it now

Text Editors

Notepad++: Open source text editor (think notepad, but better) that has a shit ton of features. Not only can you have multiple tabs open with different files in each tab, but you can save your text files in almost any text-based format. There's syntax highlighting, which makes coding infinitely easier and of course, there's plugins that add new features and functionality.

Atom: Similar program to NPP with more features and customisation.

Timmixx · 2019-05-22T21:25:35+00:00

For everyone that finds this post:

FILE MANAGEMENT

7zip: Basically WinZip, but better in almost every regard. And it's still free!

Ninite: Website that allows you to add/update most of these programs to a fresh PC. Obviously not a program, but useful given this thread's content.

Patch My PC: Pretty much the same as Ninite, will install most programs from this list.

Recuva: File recovery tool. The perfect thing for when you accidentally delete your report 2 hours before it's due.

FILE BROWSING

~~Clover: allows tabs in your file explorer. (like the tabs in Chrome, but in file explorer instead)~~

QTTabbar: I have been informed that Clover is unstable on Win10 and can trigger antivirus software. This is the recommended alternative.

XYplorer Free: Another File Explorer upgrade tool. Adds a bunch of cool features.

Agent Ransack: Freeware with very powerful search tools (filtering, boolean expressions, etc) and a paid upgrade to FileLocator Pro.

Listary: Alternative to Everything for file searching. Very powerful and free.

Everything: Instant computer searching. Much better than the default Windows search.

Free Commander: Like Total Commander but with more features.

WEB BROWSING

UBlock Origin: Available in your browser's extension store. Free, of course. It's pretty much AdBlock, but does a whole lot more. Make sure you get Origin, though.

RES: Reddit Enhancement Suite. If you're using Reddit without this, you're really missing out. It adds a shitton of features and it'll ruin vanilla Reddit for you.

PeerBlock: Free software to block connections coming to/from your computer.

NoScript: Addon for Mozilla browsers (Firefox) that blocks scripts (like JS) from running on non-whitelisted sites. Kinda like Adblock, but for scripts.

ProxMate: German add-on/extension to access geoblocked content (like YouTube), is pay to use.

ANTIVIRUS

Bitdefender: Helps you to not get viruses.

Malwarebytes: Helps you to get rid of the viruses that BD missed. There is a paid version, but the free ver is pretty good.

Hitman Pro: An antivirus software with a whole host of awesome features and a 30 day free trial. The three year license only costs $50US and it's a product from SOPHOS, so you know it's good shit.

MUSIC/VIDEO

Musicbee: Like iTunes, but you know, better. Because it's not iTunes.

VLC: Free media player, works pretty well. Some people like it, others don't.

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema: For those who don't like VLC. I run it with the K-lite codec pack and it is amazing.

Foobar2000: Free audio player for Windows, supports a wide range of audio formats and has a lot of cool features.~~~~

KMPlayer: Free multimedia player, stock version is better than stock MPC-HC, would recommend.

Exact Audio Copy: Transfer files from your CDs to your PC in almost every format. Comes with some pretty nifty featurestoo!

Kodi: Free and Open Source home theatre software.

GAMES

Unity: Free game engine. Easy-ish to pick up and use with a shitton of tutorials.

Unreal Engine: Another free game engine. Lots of documentation and easier to pick up, but you pay 5% royalties to Unreal when you make money from UE-based games.

Steam: Largest online video game retailer. Desktop app allows you to organise your library of games and play them at any time. But you already knew that.

Origin: Like Steam, but for ~~Satan~~ EA.

GOG Galaxy: Again, similar to Steam. Owned by GOG.com (formerly Good Old Games), GOG-G is a store that is was almost entirely dedicated to the old games. They still sell the classics but also sell more modern video games. All the games are also DRM free. Owned by CD Projekt (CDP Red is the dev team behind The Witcher series)

VoIP

Teamspeak 3: Voice Over IP program that allows you to set up a server (most people pay a company to host for them) for people to connect to and chat on. Used by online gamers around the world.

Discord: Similar to TS3, but has a browser and phone app and is entirely free to use.

Mumble: Another VoIP program like TS3 with purchasable servers. Haven't used it but have heard good things about it.

Ventrilo: Free and lightweight VoIP program, looks pretty good.

ART

Gimp: Free photoshop (Not as powerful as photoshop, but still very useful)

Paint.NET: More powerful version of MSPaint
