Yankie Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 It's not that bad, break it with your hands and collect it like I do: (Joke). YUM, that would go nicely on your Weet-Bix. With those deep sea fish that glow all different colours, could you harvest the incandescant bacteria? (I doubt this would be legal, depending on how abundant these glowing fish and crustaceans are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I doubt this would be legal, depending on how abundant these glowing fish and crustaceans are) If you live near the ocean, you can often harvest it right off of fresh fish.

WarezWally Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Man PayPal are a useless bunch of dicks, forgot my password to my account and had to deal with the wankers on their hotline, suffice to say that got me nowhere. Doesn't help when their shitty login system IP bans you for a few failed attempts, luckily my neighbors have WiFi with WEP enabled Guessed the password in the end I guess I found the first downside to having a static IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asilentbob Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 The thing that originally got me interested in wifi was when my dad set the router up then left on a trip without telling me how to get into the web interface for it... So I ended up needing to set up port forwarding for some programs... so I found the routers internal IP and went to it in my browser... then it asked for a password and I was like SHIT... Ended up just typing a few random passwords that seemed to be likely default ones... got in on around the 5th try. Since then I have been interested in making it harder to get in. IIRC it was something like name:root pass:(blank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakkie Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) It's not that bad, break it with your hands and collect it like I do: (Joke).*PICTURE* My dad used to tell me story's about when he was a kid that he and his brother would be allowed to play with mercury on the table on sunday after church It doesn't surprise me that his brother died early. I'm just grateful I didn't end up like an alien or something @WarezWally: How easy is it to get those passwords? I never look at the manual if I'm getting a nwe router, usually I already know what the default password would be Edited February 7, 2009 by Brakkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 My dad used to tell me story's about when he was a kid that he and his brother would be allowed to play with mercury on the table on sunday after church. I'm in my thirties and I used to do that to when I was a kid. Actually, metallic mercury isn't that harmful in a short-term perspective The real danger lies in organic mercury compounds. Now you can't buy a thermometer with mercury in it since they are illegal to sell in Sweden (although they are allowed in EU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, metallic mercury isn't that harmful in a short-term perspective The real danger lies in organic mercury compounds. Now you can't buy a thermometer with mercury in it since they are illegal to sell in Sweden (although they are allowed in EU) I am in my fourties and the public schools in my area all had mercury in science class for the students to play with. I remember when you take and roll mercury in your hand it typically formed small round balls.I also lived close to an insulation processing plant that made asbestos out of vermiculite, after crushing the vermiculite they would push the scraps out the door advertising "free crushed rock"! Any normal 8-15 yr old kid in the neighborhood would jump off the sides of the holding container and play in the warm silt no knowing that the shit was toxic! To top it off, I've been an auto/truck mechanic for 25 years playing with more crazy chemicals than I care to remember and I'm still here and get tested yearly for mesothelioma and other symptoms and have not had any signs yet. Could it be the amount of alcohol I consume that cleanses my body? Thats my theory and I'm stickin to it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Alcohol is a superb preservative as we all know. I don't know how many dangerous substances I have been exposed to before but after I started reading up a little I have become more aware of them so I suppose we might be living life a bit less exposed strangely enough. Everything used to contain asbestos when I was younger it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunzway Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Man they recon 35 people or more are dead after the bush fires yeasterday here in Victoria. Got to a record of 46.4c.Yeah, it's extreme. Thirty thousand fire fighters are attempting to put out the large fires. There's not going to be much left once this is over. I am very angry at the fact that they believe and know that someone/s has purposively started most of these fires. If I ever saw someone doing this... he would be regretting it for a long time.

Been many fires here... on the "Left Coast". I'm not fully convinced it's a bad thing.

rocket Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Well there goes the old record of 71 from ash Wednesday and that was from two states, though its not a record that anyone wants to break. This ones gunna stick in the minds of a lot of people for a long time. Did the plumbing at a house at king lake but from all accounts the hole town is gone so I doubt the place is still there.

andyboy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That sucks big time. Strangely enough, 100 Caucasians dead bothers me more than 1000 or 10 000 Chinese killed in a mudslide somewhere. Bothers me a bit since I don't know why, I don't have a problem with the Chinese and it's not because I love all Caucasian persons either. Anyway, to keep in the tradition of randomness, I have started on my next project. The making of a furnace, I have just gotten hold of a old hot water thingamajig that I cut the middle section from. Got me some nice copper sheet to use as liner for shaped youknowwhats as well. The Aluminium-rims are for melting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Wally, I know you live in Australia... different laws and all, but that first list of chems you mentioned (the one with the I and the RP among them) would in the U.S. get you visited so fast by black-suited, heavily armed men, they'd be there before the package arrived. All I'm saying is be careful! TERRIBLE tragedy with the fire. It's odd, nature regularly starts wildfires with lightning. I've seen it several times in uninhabited regions of New Mexico's mountains. Literally, you see the bolt hit, and about 15 minutes later, you see smoke from the strike point, then fire. It burns out mostly deadwood and then it naturally ceases. There's no intervention because it's too remote, and there are no homes or manmade structures in danger. When houses and structures go up, nature's cleanup method gets short-circuited; the fires are IMMEDIATELY put out by firemen, and unfortunately the deadwood continues to accumulate until you eventually get a fire that is too intense to control. It happens in California every year. There's too much bone-dry deadwood and other flammable stuff that no one removes, and nature is not ALLOWED to remove by fire.
