Just noticed that SCAN only stocks Corsair branded ram....

It's been like that for years. It doesn't stop me from buying from them, though. I don't care what brand my RAM is as long as it works, and I care even less about OCing.

Supposedly Corsair stuff didnt play so nice with AMD chips. Certain generations of Ryzen were extremely finnicky about ram so it seems a bit counter productive to sell only one brand

I've never had any issue, personally. I agree that a little more variety would be nice, though.

April fools!!!!! Oh wait...

At home all day then royal mail does this.



I don't think they even attempted a delivery. Sadly this is regular behaviour from RM

Tell me about it. Had an attempted delivery on the 3rd, nothing since, went to sorting office today, they don't know where it is, took my number and "the boss will ring you" Shower of shits

 

[Tatty_Two]

Yeah I have had similar in the past from RM, including the age old "we attempted delivery but no one was home" malarkey when I stayed in waiting all day for the thing

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I also had a lot of visitors walking in and out of my front door as well. And I'm not located somewhere where the layout is confusing like an housing estate.

:EDIT:

I just had a thought. Maybe the plonker tried to deliver it to an address around the corner which also shares the same house number. its happened before with other things i have ordered. The local depot is about 10mins walk away from me so I thought id go there to collect instead and save the trouble of my parcel potentially being delivered to the wrong address...

Went online to see if i could change the delivery to a collection and was met with this.

Sigh.

This is why i prefer not to use RM when shipping big items. RM have a terrible track record. if there is deliveries on my street tomorrow. i'll have to see if i can catch him at the trolley.

Hey man, it says you are in France. That's cheating. C'est non?

What is better: Camembert or Wensleydale?

 

[Broom2455]

Only temporarily

What's going on with farmer's over there? Made the news here...........

The gist of it was politicians telling them how to do their job or something and grocery stores giving them pennies (pence? shillings?) then selling the stuff at 5000% mark up.

People want everything to be cheap, so supermarkets (who hold a monopoly on sales) squeeze everyone down the chain. Ironically, the source (the farmer) gets pressurised the most, and make very little from their products. They can't do anything about it because who else can they sell their product to?

Cheese (any cheese) is the greatest invention of mankind, right next to computers, cars, and condoms, imo.

 

[Broom2455]

The French farmers have to file paperwork every time they go into a field, stating why they are in that field, how long etc. They also have to reserve 20% of each field to go to fallow for wildlife....

I have never understood this argument from a USA standpoint, cause every farmer here has a 75k brand new pickup truck (they don't use this for work they have other trucks for that) and a big ass half a million dollar country 2-3 story sized home. I don't buy this argument, farmers do pretty damn well, at least in America's cornfields and soybean fields where I live. Not sure about the UK though, it may be different there, but I doubt it, I think people are just getting greedier and trying to get as much of the pie as they can get. I have a buddy in Ireland who is a farmer who just built himself a new house in his 20's (yes his own house and he doesn't work a second job and his farm is small lol), and he complains all the time about how the EU is ruining farming, yet here I am almost age 40 living at home with my parents... so....

I think in order for me to agree one way or the other on these matters is a little transparency on actual net income (after farming expenses taken out as well as taxes) amounts by said farmers doing the protesting. This is one thing I like about Finland, everyone's income is public knowledge, and this way if farmers protest there, it should be very easy to utilize the virtue of reason to see if you agree with them or not.

Has the show Clarkson' Farm been available in the UK & France? It's a good example of how hard it is to actually earn a living on a farm (in the UK), pointing out many of the absurd obstacles at every level of government. Plus Clarkson is a funny f'n Muppet. lol
His farm manager showed at the end of one of the seasons that the farm netted £4 for the year.

when they showed the 4 quid profit, did they show their personal net income for the previous year? pretty sure people can't live off 4 quid, so it must be subsidies or something at play that allows distortion of said number. I'd like to see the actual personal net income for each individual person that lives on the property of said farm. then we can discuss it in more detail if their situation is fair or not.

it's clarkson, he is not short of money. The farm is a toy for TV fame i'm sure

aye, that is why I am saying what I am saying, I am an outside neutral observer of said situation of "do farmers really have it bad?" and in order for us to understand this we should not employ empathy without reason guiding that empathy, which happens all too often in our societies.

in this case, we would need to see the personal/business expenses in detail and entire income in full transparency, then we could make a decision more clearly, either for or against they need a raise.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Farmers in the EU get subsidies, the average subsidy across the board is 12000 - 13000 euro's per year, that ended for the UK when we left, currently the UK government grants 3 Billion £££ annually to farmers in subsidies but not sure how and on what criteria determines individual farm grants.
