Heat source in a cabinet (for carbonation of bottles) by emjain Homebrewing

[–]emja[S] 0 points1 point ago

That worked brilliantly. Instead of taking ~20 mins to get to temp with the light, it now takes about 5. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sounds doable. I've got the thermostat in there, it'd be easy to wire it into the hair-dryer, and I'd end up with the benefit of air circulation.

The similarity between Carey Mulligan and Gina Davis is striking.

Just another day in Melbourne, comrade. by m00nh34din melbourne

Sorry, my response was to point out the supposed 'value' of what these assholes are doing.

[–]emja 1 point2 points ago

All of this for lack of a $4 ticket (average ticket price). Shameful.

You don't feel "comfortable"? They're private citizens who should have no more right to arrest and restrain than the rest of us. Sorry, not picking on you, but it's a fucking crying shame that we mere citizens have been conned into believing that these rent-a-cops have been authorised by our government representatives to restrain anyone if they can claim we don't have a valid ticket.

edit: don't reddit after a few Jamesons. sigh

SKYFALL - First Official Teaser Trailer by But-ThenThatMeansin movies

No, Q won't, only q will be (sadly).

Did George Lucas intend to release the prequel trilogy (episodes I, II, III) after the release of the 70s-80s trilogy (episodes IV, V, VI) before the movies hit the box office? or did he just write episodes I, II, and III after the success of the 70s-80s trilogy? by aushaustoddin movies

[–]emja 4 points5 points ago

In the lead-up to RotJ being released, I remember reading a magazine article which said there was plans for both prequel and sequel trilogies. But then the same article said that RotJ was to be named 'Revenge of the Jedi', which of course didn't fit with the whole Jedi philosophy.

Yeah, it does. I should switch to private trackers but I have no real clue how to go about it.

Wait... what? Works fine for me from my seedbox in France (which, until now, I thought was in Amsterdam).

Melbourne CBD to get 40kph speed limit. by toholioin melbourne

[–]emja 0 points1 point ago

Maybe, however it's not an issue worth debating at length, even though this is reddit. ;-)

While I don't like the nanny-state mentality behind this I do see potential benefits of reducing the attraction of driving.

Anti-Murdoch - must upvote. Dailymail, must down-vote. So conflicted. What to do, what to do?

Putting aside the emotive language you've presented, what makes him hypocritical?

LPT: If you're in need of a baby name, watch the credits of a movie. by rich86manin LifeProTips

[–]emja 0 points1 point ago

This works surprisingly well. It forces you to not spend too much time over analysing each name. A quick and effective way to short list names.

oh, and you don't end up trying to evaluate all the bull-shit meanings.

By Private Request: Hi, I'm an Authorised Officer with a rail company in Melbourne, AMA by Shilberitein melbourne

[–]emja 1 point2 points ago

Recently on the Blackburn train line I saw a team of AOs surrounding someone (a student who didn't have her concession card) and writing up a report. The AO who wrote the report read out the American Miranda Rights.

"You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you..."

To me, that's laughable, but I'm more concerned about the policy and authority behind it.

I assume the AOs are not part of the state police force. Do your apparent powers of arrest exceed that of standard 'citizens arrest'? If so, how, and under what authority?

Consider this scenario; I've left the train station, crossed the road, and you suspect I travelled without a valid ticket. Would you attempt to arrest and/or report me? Why?

Thanks

As I said, that's understandable, however you seem to have missed (or avoided?) the crux of my comment.

[–]emja 4 points5 points ago

That's understandable. I worked late, haven't slept, on my way to work again now, I promise I'll buy a ticket this afternoon.

How's that work for you?
