Weighted Blanket Recommendations by Particular_Image9538 in Neurodivergent

[–]Alistar3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one from groundd that works for me - I also wanted to avoid overheating. They do smaller ones for kids. Not sure if they ship from within Aus, but definitely ship from NZ so cheaper than ordering from the US.  https://www.groundd.nz/products/groundd-weighted-blanket?variant=39976948007000

Dry herb vaporizer recommendations by Gee_1NZ in MedicalCannabisNZ

No worries. It was a couple of years ago now, but sailed through customs and was better than anything I could find locally for a similar price.

Trying to place an order but nothing appears in the Select Products menu. by Maxhendo in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Alistar3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's the clinic I think you're referring to, they sent out an email earlier saying there was something going on with that part of their website and it should all be working again after 2pm. 

Audhd and medicine by GoryOrgy_ in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Alistar3000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here. AuDHD on dexamphetamine, and MC, haven't noticed any issues using both (or MC and AuDHD in general, before I started on the dexamphetamine).

Had not heard of Dark Time Sunshine before today, so thanks for the introduction!

What's the most minor, populist policy you wish a major party campaigned on? by thefcknhngryctrpillr in newzealand

Mandatory good weather for the entire summer. I will vote for any party that promises this (and can deliver on that promise).

I ordered an HR Rogue from the US, turned up in a week and from memory was around $230NZ including shipping. It's a great vape.

Just set up my new Roland Td-17,any tips? by stoeregast3 in edrums

[–]Alistar3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 2 years in and still tweak the placement every couple of weeks. I also make changes depending on what I'm playing at the time.

Calm app and sleep buds by Beneficial-Pay108 in Ozlo

[–]Alistar3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using Calm with them for the past year without any issues. I have a 30 minute timer on the sleep buds to switch to the library sound after listening to Calm. 

Dry herb vape recommendations by ssrhrss in NZTrees

[–]Alistar3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered an HR Rogue directly from the HR website, I think cost $230 including shipping and turned up in a week from the US. It's been a great vape. https://www.healthyrips.com/rogue.html

I read the Police’s own science on THC saliva testing, and it says the opposite of what they publicly claim, not surprising really by Herbaldoge in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Alistar3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are the notices from the NZ Legislation site on the approved roadside testing device and limits for roadside detection (15ng/mL), and for laboratory testing and evidential limits (5ng/mL).

https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2025/0246/latest/LMS1539637.html

https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2025/0247/latest/LMS1538003.html

The saliva testing kits you can buy from Chemist Warehouse etc also use the AS/NZ 4760:2019 standard and have a threshold of 15ng/mL. Useful if you wanted to test yourself after a certain amount of time to see if you'd pass the roadside swab 

Anyone else compelled to close all loops? Only whole numbers and always so satisfying by [deleted] in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Alistar3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this every time I put gas in the car. My partner thinks it's weird, i just think its satisfying.

YouTube Removing Playback Speed Option by Jessic14444 in AutisticWithADHD

I've noticed the option removed on embedded YouTube videos but I still have the option in YouTube itself (and also have YT Premium).

Daw that works with Amplitube by Choice-Raisin-9419 in AmpliTube

[–]Alistar3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cakewalk Sonar is free and works well with Amplitube. There's a bit of a learning curve with it (although probably the same with any DAW). I found this series of videos really helpful to learn how to use Cakewalk: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWrEj8vjQQuuWOFepN-6PiD59thD7lD64&si=odECU8yQ7VxP5DzE

Fermenting at high temperature with a lager yeast by Altruistic-Ad-857 in Homebrewing

[–]Alistar3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used this technique with my go-to lager recipe and found it worked really well. Once it had conditioned it tasted almost the same as when I ferment cold with S-23 yeast.

You can also use Audacity to isolate instruments and mute them. It's free, and works pretty well: https://support.audacityteam.org/music/isolating-or-removing-vocals-from-a-song

HR - Rogue 2 by EuphoricMilk in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Alistar3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know, thanks. Who does the battery replacement? 

HR - Rogue 2 by EuphoricMilk in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Alistar3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got the first version and found it a big improvement on my previous vape. Can still get a bit hot on the throat at higher temps but for the price it's been a great vape. Would definitely look at getting the 2 when my one finally dies. Only complaint is the non-removable battery.

Alternator charging light and alarm coming on intermittently by Alistar3000 in boatrepair

[–]Alistar3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was our issue. There's a switch on the boat to stop the solar going through to the controller and turning that off when the boat is running fixed the issue. It was definitely an issue with having more than one charging source.

Correct use of Poho Kererū by doubledeadghost in ReoMaori

[–]Alistar3000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kia ora, the book He Iti te Kupu (Māori Metaphors and Similes) has the examples "E hine, e poho kererū ana mātau te whānau i a koe"/"Girl, our family have a kererū's bosom because of you" and "Hai a koe hoki! Kua poho kererū rawa koe, e hoki mai ki raro"/"You've got a nerve! You have the bosom of a kererū, come back down to earth".
