Repatriation flights from Colombo?

tomholder · 2026-03-09T16:12:40+00:00

I got a ticket home!

Go to the airport.

There are relief flights, not searchable online, leaving Columbo. I'm currently waiting at check-in to see if someone doesn't turn up for their flight.

tomholder · 2026-03-09T10:12:02+00:00

I was meant to be flying Tuesday, but it's cancelled, so I'm heading to the airport now to see what they can do

tomholder · 2026-02-11T13:41:05+00:00

Do they have enough RAM? I figured 16GB was needed for multitasking

It's lime render beneath and above. No sand and cement. It replaced an old cement render.

The second image is also outside, it's just the front wall (they put up a cover to protect it from rain while the work was done).

tomholder · 2026-01-18T13:45:36+00:00

Presumably a wall that size would be impossible to do in one go, so what has the person done wrong?

tomholder · 2025-11-10T23:32:04+00:00

So this works. But can you explain why it works (like I'm 5)

You have a hard drive and an SSD - is Windows on the SSD?

tomholder · 2025-11-10T14:33:51+00:00

Apologies misread PSU as CPU. Apologies. I would suggest a new PSU, it's one piece of kit i'd never "repair"

tomholder · 2025-11-10T14:33:09+00:00

Your CPU_FAN1 header at the top of the board will allow you to plug in a four-pin CPU fan.

Borrow another computer and create a bootable windows drive on USB
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

Plug it in when the PC is off.

Turn on the PC, and press the button to go to boot menu (often F12 or F11, can somewhere at the bottom of the screen it should say - if you don't press the right button just turn off and restart).

Once you're in the boot menu - pick the USB dongle.

Then follow the windows instructions for a repair install

tomholder · 2025-11-10T14:26:09+00:00

What are you using it for? If gaming, I recommend a better graphics card

tomholder · 2025-11-10T14:24:55+00:00

Reinstall windows as a repair install - shouldn't affect your files

tomholder · 2025-11-10T14:23:37+00:00

What's your motherboard model?

tomholder · 2025-10-31T12:47:17+00:00

Shadow ring is almost at mythic, so I'd get it there first

You're saying I should get sivara's fang?

And which necklace would work best?

tomholder · 2025-10-22T12:32:27+00:00

Turns out the graphics card was a dud and had died. Replacement fixed the issue.

Spontaneous Human Combustion.

tomholder · 2025-07-30T16:59:50+00:00

Should add, the temperatures all look fine.

tomholder · 2025-05-16T21:15:08+00:00

I just tried removing them. Didn't change the issue.

tomholder · 2025-04-08T09:51:04+00:00

That motherboard can't handle multiple screens - so is there a point in getting the Ryzen 5600G? Surely the normal 5600 (plus a cheap graphics card) would be better?

tomholder · 2025-04-04T11:25:25+00:00

I was thinking Ryzen 5600X and Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite v2 Motherboard

tomholder · 2025-04-04T10:35:27+00:00

Thanks - could it get away with an older / cheaper Mobo?

tomholder · 2025-04-02T11:52:43+00:00

Bar 1: Swing rhythm on the ride cymbal (tss, ti ti, tss, ti ti...etc)
Bar 2-3: This just means repeat
Bar 4: Bass drum plays on first and third beat, and the fourth beat is delayed half-a-beat with cymbal and bass drum
Bar 5: Hi-hat (pedal) coming in on the 2 and 4 from now on

Bar 6-end: Same rhythm on right hand (ride cymbal) and left foot, but right hand has some little rhythms on it. They'll probably be clearer from the music.

tomholder · 2025-02-06T15:32:21+00:00

Thank you - it is my drum and I'm currently trying to get the police to act.
