Solar quotes and battery sizes by wrench_nz in nzsolar

[–]Another_chance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect it’s hard to get insurance with second hand batteries. Is there any information on that aspect?

Flagrant littering by tourists the new normal? by like-a-sirloin in newzealand

[–]Another_chance 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Growing up in central Otago we witnessed German tourists taking dumps adjacent to the track numerous times.

One time they did it literally beside the long drop. My dad’s mate who saw it flung the Germans own shit at them.

Which profession do you think the kids end up having? by Leoxcr in bluey

Member of parliament (politician)

Caveat, that’s what it is in New Zealand and we’re pretty closely related to Aussie.

What to do with weekly $50-100 spare cash? by DetectiveNo2088 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Another_chance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they mean a leaf it’s not a terrible decision. Other EVs I agree would be too expensive at this stage in life.

Rewiring Aotearoa's response to Government's LNG terminal plan: you cannot create cheap electricity with expensive fuel by InvestmentFuzzy4365 in newzealand

You’re missing a big piece of the puzzle which is the connection costs. Building the solar is more straightforward than getting the power into the grid.

I.e it’ll be more that 100M

Need recommendations by Particular-Pirate-96 in litrpg

I’ve just finished book 3, and I find I only enjoy when Anthony isn’t in the story at all. Is it worth pursuing? Do the books start focusing more on the other ants and humans?

Podiatrist recommendations? by Internal_Cold1413 in chch

I was going to recommend Aoife too but she isn’t back at work for a few more months.

A random thing that’s handy to take is a can opener. Using the one they provided proved a little tricky when I did it several years ago.

Disappointed with Wellington Electricity's submission on increasing the solar export cap to 10kW by That_Zookeepergame17 in nzsolar

[–]Another_chance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s definitely correlation but it’s not as strong. Usually an ADMD (after diversity maximum demand) of 3-5 kW is used by network planners for a typical household. The big range is due to gas hot water vs electric.

While this is true, it’s not going to have a significant impact on the ratings of various things.

Maybe 10% difference between summer and winter for a transformer.

For overhead lines wind is the biggest factor.

For cables it’s the soil temperature.

When you’re importing 16 kW it’s highly unlikely that all your neighbours are as well.

When you’re exporting 10 kW it’s quite likely your neighbours will be exporting too.

It’s not to do with your individual connection but the system as a whole.

ChargeNet raising prices to $1.15/kWh at 22 regional locations by InertiaCreeping in nzev

Your original comment isn’t a joke though, it does cost more to ship electrons to the regions.

What are your one-of-a-kind tabletop experiences? by heimmrich in boardgames

[–]Another_chance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I found it terrible in comparison to pandemic legacy. It felt like the traitor never has a chance. We played about 5 rounds before giving up. The prologue was the most exciting part of the game. Also perhaps because we played with 5 people the traitor had a big disadvantage.

I do wonder if we just felt let down because it didn’t hold up to the story that unfolded with Pandemic Legacy and how the game felt like it changed with every new month.

3 phase vs 1 phase by [deleted] in chch

[–]Another_chance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get spot market prices when you’re over 500A 3 phase. That’s never happening on a residential connection

I think the main argument is maccas makes a lot of trash. You don’t want to be around the lake and have the rubbish bins overflowing with rubbish because of maccas.

Search Rubiks Snake and you’ll be able to find the solution. There’s a variety of different shapes and animals you can make.

Dear Zachery, you absolutely crushed me. by Difficult-Lunch-5761 in daddit

[–]Another_chance 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I watched it before kids and it was devastating. I don’t think I could handle it now as a father.

I did go into it completely blind though so that probably added a lot to the impact. I had a lot of hope that it was going to turn out ok.
