21:15:00 <HellFury> got some loser trying to educate me on lanterns, torches and generators on fb
21:16:00 <HellFury> do i tell him i grew up in PNG and mums village
21:16:00 <HellFury> and i don't need educating
21:16:00 <eddie> hehe
21:16:00 <HellFury> and water tanks
21:16:00 <HellFury> if petrol ran out in the generator
21:16:00 <HellFury> which was in 4 hrs
21:16:00 <HellFury> then we read books by candle light and torches
21:18:00 <eddie> umm I have not had that sort of happening... when working away in the bush we usually had reliable power from the radio / microwave sites
21:20:00 <HellFury> yah we didn't have a microwave when i was a kid growing up
21:20:00 <HellFury> and especially if we lived in mums village
21:21:00 <HellFury> our showers where those plastic shower thingies
21:21:00 <eddie> umm I might have to say microwave communications sites :)
21:21:00 <HellFury> you put outside heat it up
21:21:00 <HellFury> and then use it
21:21:00 <HellFury> or buckets
21:21:00 <HellFury> mum would boil a kettle of water
21:22:00 <HellFury> then mix with cold water in a bucket and we would wash from buckets
21:22:00 <HellFury> or
21:22:00 <HellFury> if it was still early
21:22:00 <HellFury> went to the local creek and bathed there
21:22:00 <eddie> the old bucket showers were not too bad.. esp with some warm water.. luxury and better than the lame 12volt pumps we had in the caravans...
21:23:00 <HellFury> rivers creeks and buckets
21:23:00 <HellFury> mmm true
21:23:00 <HellFury> food was when mum cooked it
21:23:00 <HellFury> so i being the smart person i was
21:23:00 <HellFury> lol
21:23:00 <HellFury> would go up to great grandparents
21:24:00 <HellFury> help them cook
21:24:00 <HellFury> and they would feed me
21:24:00 <HellFury> or
21:24:00 <eddie> fresh water showers were something that was not common on the highway between Norsman and Eucla all the motels had salt water showers...
21:24:00 <HellFury> i would climb my great grandads mandarin tree
21:24:00 <HellFury> and get like loads of them
21:24:00 <eddie> fresh fruit yummy
21:24:00 <HellFury> he never yelled at me
21:24:00 <HellFury> the otehr kids yeh
21:26:00 <eddie> anyways back to fixing stuff...
21:26:00 <eddie> sigh
21:26:00 <HellFury> yeah trying to eat and stomach hurts
21:26:00 <HellFury> on top of gum
21:28:00 <eddie> https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/this-registry-trick-lets-you-block-major-windows-10-updates/ usefull to stop version 2004 installing as it still has bugs and some features (taken away) that I dislike...
21:29:00 <eddie> useful only if you have pro / enterprise versions (no idea about home version as none of my machines use home versions of any winblows software
