Well, during daylight can be a coffee place with nice pastry and after 5 to start it operate as a bar, is COOOL AF the bar, amazing job with the interior design
Thanks so much for answering my question on The Fax Machine lads! That's life complete for me now. Absolutely amazing!!
Also, you're welcome for the show recommendation, Chris. (As of this comment the BBC are making a new series for 2025 next year too).
Also to awnser Petes query, when he said if Scott Mills was in Race across the world, yes he was! In the recent Celebrity version of the show not the regular one.
Also I do remember the bit about that guy who was hitchhiking during Cyclethon 2. And there was also that guy who was a university student I think? Who was cycling around japan and living off what was, hanging on his bike.
Thanks so much lads! Keep up the amazing work. ♥️
[Edit: Don't worry Chris you didn't butcher the name of the Lom Bok island, even the contestants struggled to say it! 😆]
He is clearly part of a gang doing this. Vietnamese are infamous as sneak thieves and weed growers in many countries. MOST Vietnamese are very honest decent people, but criminals from there often travel, and engage in such actions in groups.
For spinning drives, you don't need to defrag any more as Windows is silently swapping stuff around in the background all the time so that it never gets fragmented enough to matter.
For non-spinning drives, defrag isn't a thing as the entire drive can be accessed at the same time.
ELI5 is:
Think of it like a fast food drive through. With a spinning drive, you place a order and the 1 employee has to get your burger, then go get your drink, then you fries, etc. With non-spinning (SSD,NVMe) you place a order and they have a employee for each item and can get everything at once. Fragmentation is not having the burgers next to the drinks and the drinks next to the fries so he has to waste time running all around the store. Defrag is rearranging the back so that everything is as efficient as possible for that 1 employee. If you just have a employee for everything then it doesn't matter.
Vietnamese families went to our favorite little park to pick clams. Ranger had to close the beach to clamming because the literally wiped out the entire population of clams. Closed for several years for picking clams. Ruined it for the whole community. They didn’t even live in our community.
Who hasn't done a bit of scrumping for crying out loud.😁
What's weirder: The fruit theft in Japan, or the great Maple Syrup heist in Canada
The reactions to the bar were funny. I wasn't sure what to expect from the bar, but Connor up and expecting a dingy fixer upper was pretty funny.
Can't you just order the toy in McDonald's? I remember you could do that, that's how I got my Mario 🙂
What, no 'things going pear-shaped' pun?! 3000 pears would have made some lovely perry cider btw.
Let's hope he won't be commiting pearjury in court
A $50 strawberry. AKA, absolute wankery
As I was watching I was thinking it sounds like Chris has had a very big night. I then realised that I had the playback on 0.75x speed. The odd thing was that Pete sounded normal.
Is a prolific pear poacher someoone that steals pears, or someone that reeeally like boiling them?
🎯 😂
3000 pears in 24 hours. That is 125 pears a hour. I would just hire that man and who else has helped him.
No need to steal just plug them and you will be paid. That is just i
The "Don't ome to Japan in Summer" advice is just bullshit. It's hot yes, but it is just as enjoyable.
11:06 this is the guy from our Maths problems
Pete and Tinashe for the collab! 😂
IT Guy here, defragmentation went away for 2 major reasons. Its actually harmful to SSD's as they only have so many writes they can do before the drive dies and secondly file formatting changed from FAT32 to NTFS which organizes files on the drive much much more efficiently
Can't wait to see LOST myself in November. 2nd time in Japan with my wife and we're so excited.
Pete — what that was for was to spread spyware and steal someone's passwords just like Bonzai Buddy.
That's a perfect pronunciation of Lombok actually Chris
To be fair, her saying "私はstar" isn't too different from Japanese artists using English randomly in music. 🤷
