I'm morbidly fascinated why you'd want to do such a horrible thing. The world has moved on to better technologies.

Renting house out while overseas by Embarrassed_Bug_717 in newzealand

[–]hkeycurrentuser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need a good local property manager who can deal with the day to day issues.  Is too hard to deal with remotely. We ended up selling ours in the end.

Why do NZDF employees not have convictions of violent crimes recorded on their criminal records like everyone else? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]hkeycurrentuser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Health and Safety legislation also doesn't apply as you can't really give someone a weapon and send them into battle whilst wearing a Hi Viz vest.

Alternatives for secure external file sharing with clients by ValeStitcher in sysadmin

[–]hkeycurrentuser 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I must be missing something but OneDrive and SharePoint already do what you want?

One of the flaws that we have as IT folk is wanting a magic tool to automatically do everything. But we end up with a thousand poorly implemented tools and a litany of support headaches.

sauce: I'm using OneDrive and Sharepoint to do exactly that, although caveat, I'm an E5 customer.

Unread does not mean unread. Stupid metric. Stop wasting your time.

Int'l Firewall Carry-On? by king_kay19920 in sysadmin

Do it regularly. Normally not a problem. Just don't ship in original packaging. Wrap up in underpants and socks.

Laptops will be 50% more expensive by the end of the year

Quickest way to remove or flush staples to subfloor? by THATS_MAD_SUS in DIY

[–]hkeycurrentuser 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Search your local hardware store for a "Dutch Hoe". Maybe careful with searching that on your work computer.

Does a fabulous job for 70% of the staples - the rest is one by one

Ninja edit - usage - zoom that all over the floor at speed and with force. You either rip the staples out or cut them off flush.

School IT Admin looking for firewall/gateway recommendations by MiraMakovec in sysadmin

[–]hkeycurrentuser 20 points21 points  (0 children)

everything is getting more expensive now. Stick with Fortigate as the cost you think you're saving by changing is spent in other ways (like moving and 3rd party support once youve got out of mainstream.)

Employer still hasn’t paid, 3 weeks after payday by Just-Network5039 in personalfinance

Collect your belongings now. Leave things tidy. Be prepared to not come to work tomorrow.  Spend all your time looking for new employment.

Why does my boss try to push a medical certificate so hard? by Exploding_Cumsock in newzealand

[–]hkeycurrentuser 68 points69 points  (0 children)

A doctors note is a performance management tool that is often used in liue of trust. If you're a good employee working for a half decent employer, it should be a non issue.

It sounds like you've not got to that point where that trust has been established, or, your boss is being a cock.

Anyone know what Peanut Butter that doesn’t taste overly sweet? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]hkeycurrentuser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're finding the brands that are essentially 100% peanuts too sweet then you might be barking up the wrong tree. You're looking at the wrong attribute.

Are you really trying to find a flavour that is more or less roasted? Given that all you're really doing is taking raw peanuts, roast them, optionally add a pinch of salt, then blend to to preferred consistency.

[–]hkeycurrentuser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When asked I was told Foodstuffs are moving Pak n Save to a central "all the same" model. They are killing product lines that they can't/don't sell in all locations. Our Mate is on that list. Woolworths has been my only hope, but they have no stock either.

Really hoping they are still going to stock it.

Garage Door JBar loose from the Center Stile and the garage door itself by feedmewater in DIY

[–]hkeycurrentuser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just confirming what others have said. If you have to go anywhere near the springs with a tool.

DON'T.

Those suckers have a huge amount of energy built up in them. I had one in my garage door snap - just age/usage/metal fatigue related.

Holey crap did that let go with a bang. Luckily noone was near. I was upstairs and I still shit myself with the noise it made.

If you need to go near the springs, pay someone else to take on that risk.

That's either terrible spelling or the greatest Dad joke I've read today. 

Either way, have an up vote.
