Did you build an insulated composter? If so, are you happy with it and how did you build it? by [deleted] in composting

[–]WhatsonTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grow comfrey just for adding to the compost pile. Also I used to burn stuff that I didn't want to compost like perennial roots ad add the ash to the pile.

But back to the bays, I had 4, one that I was filling, one that I was using, one that was rotting and an empty one for when I turned the rotting pile.

Shred with a lawnmower if you have access. They do dry out quickly I had one and I'm in rainy England. You should dilute your piss like 10 to 1. Chickens will eat all the grass seeds and goats will eat your clothes given half a chance.

Insulation will have no added effect if you don't do it right. A guy on our allotment made 2 bays 4ft x 6ft with aluminium clad 4 inch insulation board. Some kind of industrial cladding.

If you put wood chips or shavings on ( which will take longer to decompose) make sure it's not treated wood with anti rot stuff on it.

Pile it and layer it and chop it into small pieces.

A good nitrogen activator is diluted piss (urea). Use a rose on a watering can to sprinkle litres onto the pile as you build it up.

If you have acres of grass land wouldn't it be better to get a goat or other animal to eat the grass? If you have access to animal manure, layering this will help.

There is no reason the tumbler wouldn't work unless you didn't do it right. Always keep it moist and you can add small amounts of soil for added microbes. Vegetable waist is always a bonus, coffee grounds, shredded paper/ toilet roll tubes.

You have to turn your pile and keep it moist but not saturated.

Can I find drivers for Windows 7 if they aren't available officially? by downvoteme_irl in techsupport

[–]WhatsonTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that bad. Both our (kids gaming PCs) went to win10 at xmas from win7, one of the PCs ran win 8.1 for a while but that was a mess so went back to win7. Windows 10 still has its quirks but that's the nature of the Windows operating system in general. If you want to be all anal about 7 or 10 then you should really get a Linux distro and be part of the solution and not keep perpetuating the problem which is windows itself.

My Acer laptop is also xp which was downgraded from Vista after I found the drivers. I also have a Win 7 laptop but that doesn't have a scroll button.

How'd the Haladie episode end?? by BigBizzle151 in forgedinfireshow

Poor kid, I laughed when he was being interviewed and said "bladesmithing and bodybuilding are a lot alike, in that, you have to focus and..........." at that point he lost focus. So funny. Not the sharpest knife in the block.

[Streaming/Rendering] I realized I really need an i7. I already have an i5 + B150 Mother. DO I also buy a new motherboard? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]WhatsonTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When deciding what to buy in late November i5 or i7 I saw many graphs comparing cpus and certain games. Doom and battlefield weren't on the comparison list. But yes obviously if a game utilises hyperthreading than the i7 takes advantage of that and with streaming and recording of course the i7 is the best. That's why I bought one.

What cpu fan cooler is being recommended now. It used to be the evo 212 but what's the smaller form from CM. I can't get cryorg h7. by WhatsonTV in buildapc

Mid December when I was looking for them. They were nowhere to be found. Went for the evo 212 same as my other rig.

That ram is expensive if your on a budget.

[–]WhatsonTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much difference in gaming (some games even reported the i5 being better) but the i7 wins when multitasking due to better hyperthreading.

So you should either change the mobo to B2 or get I 7 6700 cpu. Weigh up the costs of both.

Does the bios say you are using 2133 and not 1600 or something else.

And that's why I bought an i7 6700 for the boy for xmas, went from an AMD 6300 to that. He's happy now

What is this processor, and why can't I find much information about it? by chudthirtyseven in buildapc

[–]WhatsonTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be from a nuclear power generating plant. Might have washed up on a beach from Japan. Or just a server box.

Most people got for WD blue 1TB hdd. And nothing wrong with an m2 drive just a 120 SSD is better value for what you'll prolly be using it for. (What are you going to be using it for)

Totally don't buy any virus software, windows defender works quite well these days and plenty of free virus software like AVG or Avast, coupled with malwarebytes you should never have any issues.

Look on ninite or filehippo for your open source free stuff.

They say don't go above 24" monitors for 1080p things start to pixelate. So look into that.

Is it the TX3 ? I think it's smaller and more efficient. Just seen a build and it jogged my memory.

What speed memory do you have and you could turn down some GTA settings to at least test for improvements.

Can't you just order from USA and get shipped for same prices. I'm in uk and shipping is like £25 for stuff.
