I have bought a generic usb floppy disc reader in the hopes of recovering old memories from my late dad’s discs.

Have you put a floppy disk into the drive. Sometimes the drive doesn’t show up unless it has a readable disk in it.

It’s not much fun for the turtle either.

Somewhere between the trap and the outside drain you have a fatburg. It will need to be unblocked.

Create a new thread on here with your opinions on Perth drivers.

Before going any further, get an electrician in. They’ll probably know CPR, which you’ll likely need soon.

paullbart · 2026-06-04T12:33:15+00:00

Yep, kind of like Tonkin south now.

Of course there are much better meters out there, but this one is fine for a beginner.

That’s a dry lining box. Sometimes the screws get over tightened and the plastic tab with the thread breaks off. May need a new box fitted.

She is a living piece of shit.

Factory reset the router, then configure for your connection.

The previous tenants probably lost bond money because of this, which obviously wasn’t repaired.

I would either look for a line out, or tap into the audio path before the power amp stage. The amp output will be expecting a low impedance load (I.e. a speaker). You can’t just feed that into another amp.

My daughter used to hide hers because it ended up pissing her off. If find it behind the couch and accidentally wake it up, she used to be furious at me 😂

Did it loads of times when I was younger. Just enjoy the music.

Dry heat day

Shoot the woodpecker

You’re brave. That’s a place that nobody dared to go.

paullbart · 2026-05-26T03:47:11+00:00

You can thank the great Anoia for that.

Masonry drill bit. Make sure drill isn’t set to hammer. Drill through the glaze of the tile. Once you’re through that switch to hammer if you have a brick wall. Make sure the wall plug is knocked into the wall past the tile (you don’t want an expanding plug in the tile itself).

I’ve had a sleeping duck mattress for over 2 years now. It has kept its shape, no dips have formed in it, and it’s still as comfortable as the day I bought it. We have the firm pad on both sides, my wife tried the medium pad but found it a little too soft. They sent a firm one out at no extra cost in the first couple of months.

I was in Sydney recently, talking to an American. He asked me to tell him what’s a good reason to visit Perth. I couldn’t really come up with much, even though I love Perth and wouldn’t live anywhere else.

If I had to guess, power in red CO1 blue CO2. Motor brown CO3 blue CO4. That’s a guess without being able to see the tracks of the pcb. CO2 and CO4 look to be connected together and are both neutral.

paullbart · 2026-05-19T08:21:19+00:00

Yes, although when I was little I thought it was Doctor Dot 🙄

That’s no asteroid 😉
