  1. Meowww! hand bags at dawn and it's only Tuesday. Where's that low carb popcorn...
  2. i really enjoyed that game back in the day. didn't get round to later versions with a more futuristic storyline though. heard it was sh1t3
  3. tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. It was interesting enough. Once in a while, a major script hole kind of spoils the flow of the story. Apparently, Season 2 already being minted for release in 2019. I'll bite on that. I hope that mega gorgeous 50yr old Cynthia Preston makes another cameo. Wow. In similar vein, started BBC's Bodyguard series. Another series beating homeland security drum. So i expect some form of race'aphobia with a whiff of bodycount. The brits do have an interesting way of telling a story often in counterbalance to their cousins over the Atlantic.
  4. looks almost as if he was trying to annotate the pic all those green and red lines. So mysterious..
  5. any bosch fans? I see Bosch north america is running a competition , offering 2000 of the new bosch combi drill+driver with both modes driven by impact. They call it the "freak". Do any of the local bosch fans know if and when that little monster is coming to our shores? edit: ok. this seems to be a rebranding exercise of a pre-existing model of impact wrench/driver for half inch sockets and quarter inch bits. The rebrand however is underpinned by their new Core18v battery packs. meh. somewhat deflating, but i'm still keen on upgrading from my current impact driver. Love that thing to bits
  6. While I do appreciate there are cases out there where the manufacturer stiffs the end user by not honoring warranties, each case must be taken on it's merit. Therefore, on what facts of this particular situation are you basing your position regarding what falls within the warranty?
  7. I'm curious, and i hope you respond, as there's no right or wrong answer: buying a bike is never a moral dilemma. But how come have you discounted the fact that riding in a manner that does not violate the warranty, is perfectly safe on this bike, for both the OP and the rest of the world? If you are not exceeding the maximum rider weight, where is your actual concern then?
  8. Given your handle and avatar, I find your helpfulness rather suspicious
  9. I think many of the posts in the last few pages of this thread is missing a big point, and in doing so, perpetuating the misconception of a design flaw: it's not the sitting on the top tube that's the problem. That's static loading. It's the dynamic condition of a large mass shock loading the top tube that is causing the cracking. This was what the OP described,when riding the top tube over a rough surface. In my view, the bike has no design flaws. The OP violated the terms of the warrantee, but got away with it twice. He did not deceive Canyon, he was simply lucky they didnt' ask more questions upfront. Zero need to demonize the company or its products by perpetuating nonsense.

    based on what's going on in Argentina at the moment, not the boks.

    Rob Warner would approve of this comment by supersport:
  12. single card? perhaps. multiple cards. really,really stupid. also, with single cards, many PSUs these days suck air in from the top. so the card and the PSU are in competition. yeah, makes a lot of sense...

    small correction
  14. and other than cosmetic front panel changes, the PC case hasn't changed an inch: still a super rubbish layout internally, likely thanks to the damn mobo. eg: GPU cooler pointing down. ATX plug on mobo the furthest away from the PSU, so the thickest cable strand is the longest. lolwut seriously? I absolutely loathe a PC case. Just about Every single one out there is just lipstick on a pig

  16. lekker bodycount. That killer chick is legit scary. Even though she was acting, if i ever saw her IRL, i reckon i'd be a bit sketched out..
  17. It's great! Very keen for season 3. that stuff was piled up for years before i watched it.glad i finally did.
  18. are those uPVC double glazed doors? Wherefrom?
  19. Shooter - one of those shows that feel like a movie. new in the skiet-skop-n-donner category, is Condor. i'm always good for some spy action.
  20. lol, that's some serious irony.
  21. internally, the marzo soul has been destroyed. That's literally trading on branding alone.
  22. DS S01 was strong stuff. S02.. it's taken me a while to get as stuck in as before. Any SL's Lucky Man series? love it! so quirky! so british! and S02 of The Sinner had a good opener.
  23. ya man, I'm lekker peeved at the canning The Crossing was interesting enough. As for Suits, I really thought it was dead and buried, and only a Chicago Justice replacement was going to replace it given the move by the former partner (Jessice Pearson) to that city. The last few eps of season 7 dropped major hints at a spinoff show, or so I thought. But at the same time, more screen time for Katrina Bennet (Amanda Schull) is always, always a good thing.
  24. Sharp Objects: the small screen debut for Amy Adams Intrigueing thus far. Colony: wtf! show canned. hotdamn. And sadly, they rushed the storyline in the last few eps. But what a great season. I see the cashcows are being milked again: The Sinner S02E01 out last week already. They can only screw this up. I didn't think that storyline lent itself to another season.
