ukky: Wife "The water is not flowing fast from my tap or shower. We need to buy a new one" Me "When they installed the new pump that had been sitting dead for almost a year, they ran that tap and shower. Brown water was coming out of it. They should have used the floor tap. They clogged the filters" So I took them out and handed them to her to clean. Yuck.....

zorz: Netflix’s Adolescence is a Trojan Horse For Online Censorship and Surveillance Policy
<zorz>
SiFuh: did not watch all of it... i watched some parts during the flight. but i heard a trend everybody speaking about this. so most probably....they are directed
<SiFuh>
zorz: I watched NONE of it
<zorz>
how do you know its a trojan?
<SiFuh>
I reviewed all the episodes
<SiFuh>
I don't watch shit unless I know what I am watching 80% of the time.
<SiFuh>
Right now watching Hell on Wheels
<SiFuh>
Not a series for a tight jeans wearing Muslim soyboy like yourself.
<zorz>
heh and muslim and soy
<SiFuh>
Sorry, or forgot the word 'poofter' in that.
<SiFuh>
or/I
<zorz>
SiFuh: orthodox, corporal scout
<zorz>
have you been in the amry boy?
<zorz>
army
<SiFuh>
zorz: Went to Transport Department today. Guess what happened?
<zorz>
heh what?
<SiFuh>
The entire department stopped, to serve me.
<SiFuh>
Wife was freaking shocked.
<zorz>
they understood, handicapped?
<zorz>
:P
<SiFuh>
Yes zorz I was in Airforce.
<SiFuh>
No, why would I be handicapped.
<zorz>
this is not consider army, unless pilot
<SiFuh>
One of the boss dudes said "You want to register your horse?"
<zorz>
why you ve got a horse?
<SiFuh>
No
<zorz>
lets bet on hippodrome
<zorz>
heh
<SiFuh>
I liked your handicapped joke better. It was a good one
<zorz>
a little bit of bacteria is good... stronger stamina
<SiFuh>
zorz: I care zero about bacteria... or blood worms. It's the freaking polluted mud from construction sites that I don't like chewing on.
<zorz>
fuckin hell during army they gave this pill.... to try mad water
<zorz>
ooooooooooooo
<zorz>
discasting
<SiFuh>
zorz: Oh, blood worms are not dangerous. They live at the bottom of water. Build little huts to live in.
<SiFuh>
zorz: They did too for me. I didn't try it because I know better ways to get water
<zorz>
you know when i did my service, 2 years... i was so pissed. but now i changed my mind, was a good thing
<ukky>
Your pipes and valves look nice. But water doesn't.
<zorz>
anyway... got to go.... ciao
<SiFuh>
I did mine and was proud to be there. Hated every minute. But no way will I change the past if I had a time machine.
<SiFuh>
ukky: Yeah, most of the shit in the pipes is between the town water supply and your home.
<SiFuh>
I fixed all already. Did the last of the plumbing today. Everything working fine.
<ukky>
It doesn't look like old city pipes. City probably does not clean the water. City pipes must be flushed regularly too.
<SiFuh>
I don't live in a city and this a third world country.
<ukky>
'City' means outside of your house.
<SiFuh>
ukky: By the way, the transport department said if I want to build my Willy's Jeep bring in the engine number for a check. I said that that isn't important. It's the chassis number. I can find the engine later.
<SiFuh>
He said bring it in, if legally can register then go for it. He is a fellow off-roader too. I said it is from the 40's. He said oooo Vintage. You want a powerful engine. I laughed and said no way, the damned thing would fall apart. It isn't designed for that.
<SiFuh>
Willy's Jeep have a 15 litre tank under the driver's seat and a 3 gear transmission. WTF does he think I want to do with it?
<ukky>
Haha
<ukky>
Restore it and sell to the collector
<SiFuh>
My plan is to keep it 'till I die. When I am too old to climb into the 4x4 I will use it instead
<SiFuh>
When I go back to Australia to visit my parents (If I go back). I will pick up the manual I have had for over 30 years.
<ukky>
You have to write down all the stuff you want to take when you visit AU.
<SiFuh>
I already have a two page list
<SiFuh>
I am writing it all down as I remember them. I am old school. Still use a pencil and a notebook.
<SiFuh>
I will fly there practically naked. Then carry everything back.
<ukky>
Get extra money in case you have to pay for overweight
<SiFuh>
So far it is only small stuff. I am still deciding whether or not to bring the Texas Instrument Fluke from before farkuhar was born. Hahaha
<SiFuh>
ukky: It will be underweight.
<ukky>
I mean extra luggage
<ukky>
When you return
<SiFuh>
ukky: It will be underweight.
<SiFuh>
I am not bringing much. It is also small useful stuff
<SiFuh>
In fact the manual will probably be the heaviest thing
<ukky>
Take Fluke with you too. Nowdays tools are made like before.
<SiFuh>
ukky: There is a problem with Malaysia though. Anything entering the country is considered import and therefore needs to be taxed. Even if you bought it here, went to Australia and brought it back. They will try to tax you again.
<ukky>
I have Fluke, but it is recent model.
<SiFuh>
ukky: The fluke is awesome. Was given to me by a guy who got it from his work like 50 years or so ago and didn't know what it was.
<ukky>
I have second tool, maybe Fluke, I don't remember, as I use it rarely. It's clamp-type, to measure current.
<SiFuh>
ukky: I have one of those too. Payment for fixing a guys speakers.
<SiFuh>
Good for cars. Clamp over the battery terminals and the alternator and spark plugs.
<SiFuh>
Spark plug leads
<SiFuh>
They are called Clamp Meters in Australia
<ukky>
I belive it can measure up to 600 A, but I might be wrong.
<SiFuh>
ukky: I've only ever used them for cars to be honest.
<SiFuh>
ukky: I think the one I have is 600A too
<ukky>
I used it to estimate current on outdoor water pump.
<SiFuh>
ukky: I have two oscilloscopes as well. I made antennas for them so I can find electrical wires in the walls I was about to drill into.
<ukky>
Pump is variable speed and I wanted to know current at different speeds.
<SiFuh>
A Clamp metre should also work for the same purpose
<SiFuh>
ukky: Ahh, understood
<ukky>
For that I have stud detector
<SiFuh>
I have an ear for that ;-)
<ukky>
To double-check, I use magnet from HDD
<SiFuh>
I wasn't looking for studs. I was looking for wires in the wall. I'd turn the power on and plug something in and then I could scan the wall and find it. I did have a Thermal Camera but that died.
<SiFuh>
FLIR kind of sucks during software updates.
<SiFuh>
A working FLIR is awesome though. You can see the wires from their heat.
<ukky>
My stud detector triggers buzzer and warning light in the proximity of active high voltage cables
<SiFuh>
Ooohhh
<SiFuh>
Nice
<SiFuh>
EMF can do that too
<SiFuh>
Here is a sad story for you. I had a friend I use to drink with. He has one daughter. All his other children before and after her were aborted due to defects. He said it is because he is 50 years old. So I came around to his place and checked the EMF. Found out the EM fields were very high in his house. He said but how the hell can that be the reason. I have a daughter. I said you had the daughter when
<SiFuh>
you were renovating the house right? The back of the house is where you slept. Far away from the EMF. He said "Hmmm, maybe you are right" When his wife became pregnant again, he moved to that room again and now has a son.
<SiFuh>
He then told all his neighbours that were pregnant about it and they actually listened to him.
<ukky>
Yeah, RF can do crazy things to the body.
<SiFuh>
ukky: Yep, considering everything works electrically in the human body.
<SiFuh>
ukky: Here is one for you. Ever camped in the wilderness on a mat on the ground and woke up facing in a different direction to how you originally slept? I found out back in the 80's that my body rotates to North - South or South - North when I sleep. I also notices if I sleep East - West or West - East, I feel like shit the next day.
<SiFuh>
My wife and I sleep NS or SN. My brother too. But when I set up camp. I always make the tent NS or SN
<ukky>
Feng shui has the whole theory about that.
<SiFuh>
ukky: Looks like farkhuar is going to have to read logs.
<SiFuh>
Not a fan of Feng Shui
<ukky>
Me too, just heard what it is about.
<SiFuh>
ukky: Went to Transport department. Silly woman asks me "What race are you?" I said "White, Caucasian" She scrolls the list and says "There is none here" So she put me as 'Other' then for some dumb fucking reason askes me my religion. She says "No Christian either. I will put you as other" So now I am known as Lin SiFuh, Other, Other. Hahaha idiots.
<ukky>
Being 'other' is nice touch
<SiFuh>
Then to make it worse. I can't have a licence to extend beyond my passport date. So I asked her make it the same as the passport date. She says "No, we only use birthdates now" I said "But I was born in the 70's" got a confused look. Wife says "Yeah the system puts the birthdate in now as the expiry date" I replied "Happy Birthday. Now pay for your licence and have a nice day"
<SiFuh>
ukky: Now I am looking for a place to do the motorcycle test. For the big bike. I want that done this year and then go for the Big Rig licence.
<SiFuh>
My wife was laughing because her colleague failed the test 4 times. I said to my wife "Do you have a motorcycle licence?" She says "No" I said "Then don't laugh at him"
<SiFuh>
I was driving rally cars before I got my licence. I failed 4 times. I remember the first one "Excessive speed in reverse"
<SiFuh>
Hahahahahahahahaha
<SiFuh>
1) Excessive speed in reverse. 2) touched the white line for the railway tracks. 3) Drove 40 in a 60 zone. It was a school zone. And the 4 I don't remember. Maybe I failed 3 times.. Hmmm
<SiFuh>
Then the police took my licence off me and the judge must have got laid that night because I got it back within and hour.
<SiFuh>
ukky: Today was weird though. Turned up ath the department of transport to get my P plate changed to an O. I was drinking beer. No one asked me how I could have driven with a beer on a P plate.
<ukky>
Do you have to have motorcycle license to get 'Big' license?
<SiFuh>
Yeah they give you the RE (Australia) hold on.
<SiFuh>
B2 here. They give you a B2 licence but not a big bike licence when they change you from Australian to Malaysian.
<SiFuh>
The car licence becomes a P as well. Even if you were a proffesional driver for over 20 years.
<ukky>
Is 'Big' for trucks/trailers or just big bikes?
<SiFuh>
I told the the transport department. "Why a P? I should be giving you a licence. I have driven, easily more than 72 times around the Earth" Wife was laughing.
<SiFuh>
I want full licence for everything.
<SiFuh>
Because I can drive everything.
<ukky>
Then you need also that crazy license to work in mines on huge trucks
<SiFuh>
That's kind of changed in Australia. But in Malaysia they don't have this.
<ukky>
Trucks that have weels taller than the human
<SiFuh>
Australia now if you have a car licence, you can drive pretty much anything until you get to an LR (Light Rigid) (small truck) then HR (Heavy Rigid) then MC (Multi Combination) (Basically a road train.)
<SiFuh>
ukky: Use to have a seperate licence for forklifts and bobcats and stuff.
<SiFuh>
Now one package.
<SiFuh>
ukky: Anyway, I will go for BIG bike first then head into the truck licence. As I said before. I want to drive trucks from Malaysia (Maybe Singapore) into Thailand and back.
<SiFuh>
ukky: If not, then I open a shop and do strictly engine rebuilds.
<SiFuh>
I have a few options. But I want something that requires hands on work
<SiFuh>
Also there are many places here including tyre shops that will hire me for work during Islamic holidays.
<SiFuh>
But I need the PR first to give me more freedom. Without PR. I need to register too much shit and the company too
<SiFuh>
I also have options to do black smith work. I love this work but it isn't what I want to do to be honest
<SiFuh>
I'd prefer to do that work at home alone by myself to be honest
<SiFuh>
ukky: My dream would be to work in the fire department though, but I am other, other guy so since it is a government position here there is no chance
