The Questions Thread

[Sublime]

I'm not hugely into Aussie hip hop and this is the reason why I posed this question. To get more variety.

If you're looking for some of the easier to listen to Aussie Hip Hop try a few of these: 1200 Techniques, Urthboy, Mnemonic Ascent, Butterfingers (bit rockier), Koolism, Katalyst, Resin Dogs, Hermitude, Downsyde, Muph & Plutonic, Bias B. Most of them are pretty fun artists.

Great thing to do . Hope you find what you want .

Agree. Ignore Bots + Balks.

When does something turn from just something you enjoy a lot to an addiction?

When does something turn from just something you enjoy a lot to an addiction?

When it goes from being a conscious choice (give or take decision) to something you can't help doing or do even when you don't want to be doing it.

Thank you very much

The hardcore sort of rap music just doesn't do anything for me, it's more the bouncy/fun type music I like.

I'm studying this a little at Uni and I find the stigma given to varying types of addiction interesting. A lot of people have several coffees a day which is seemingly a strong addiction but would be judged differently to someone who goes home every night and drinks a bottle of wine.

The term "impacts on normal day to day life" is something that is often used but I'm not sold on that.

It would depend if they chose not to have coffee every morning how long they lasted until they 'had to have one' i would say.

I know of coffee drinkers who would spend as much money and are probably just as addicted as a pack a day smoker.

I'd say it's an addiction when it begins to impact negatively on your life. Like if you are a coffee enthusiast that's fine, but if you are in a situation where you might not be able to get a caffeine fix straight away and it impacts the way you function physically or mentally then it's an addiction.

I believe some of the Cats like to be on ignore? Not sure of the Blues though

Why do they always call it the deadly Ebola virus? Is there a non lethal version I'm not aware of?

Why do Asians buy in bulk so much?

Like, they'll buy boxes and boxes of potato chips that haven't even been opened and put on the shelf yet. I served an Asian guy the other night and he bought $450 worth of soft drink, boxes of chips and lollies. I get the fact that buying in bulk means you don't need to buy any more of that item for a fair while, but it just seems ridiculous, and without trying to be racist, it is almost always Asians that do it.

Probably has a milk bar that needs to be stocked.

Is this Safeway?

Would make sense if it was Costco or.... theres another bulk place but can't remember the name

Yeah Safeway.

Like again today, an Asian guy bought three trays full of melons and mangoes. Cost him $150 all up when he could've gone to a fruit market and gotten it a lot cheaper.

I work at Coles and it happens a lot there as well.

 

[chugginon]

Possibly it is like a group buy . People put in money , the shopper gets the stuff, then takes it back and gives it to those that have put money in the kitty? Like a co -op, or home market sort of thing .

Lol, tell him to go thru the self serve checkout and watch the fireworks.

Plane question - How come your ears still pop mid flight?

Ears pop is a change in air pressure right? But the cabin is pressurised at the start of the flight....

It's not instantly pressurised on the ground. You start on the ground with inside and outside being the same pressure. As you climb the cabin starts being pressurised over time, but as Mofra said it's pressurised to 8-10k feet amsl, which incidentally is as high as you'd usually climb/fly without pressurisation or oxygen. It only reaches this towards the top of its climb though, so the pressure is changing more or less the entire way up, and it also changes the entire way down when you descend.

Having the cabin at an effective altitude of 8k (I.e. Lower pressure) means less differential in pressure between the inside and outside, which is safer and easier to build something to withstand (if the cabin is pressurised too much compared to the pressure outside, that's bad, like submarine going too deep bad)

Incidentally, air isn't "locked in" to get the higher pressure, it's pumped into the cabin at higher pressure as an ancillary function of the engines, and there is a valve slightly open which let's it out slower than it comes in, just like if you had a bath with the tap constantly running, you can control the level of the water in it by lifting the plug a littler, then varying how much you lift it. It's not just locked in and recirculating, going stale, like a few people I've met seem to think.

Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Japanese - the whole lot) are always the only ones coming into Bunnings after 7.30pm on a weeknight - they never fail to rock up do some leisurely shopping at some random time

The guy who bought all the chips and stuff went through self service. I was working there, and ended up scanning it all for him because he had no idea how to use the machine properly.

Skilled computer folk -

I need a program that can rip the audio of DVD's and a CD key to match. Can anybody be of any assistance? Last time I tried to do it myself I came up donuts.
