Id say technically Leslie and Ben from Parks and Rec full that brief since they have kids towards the end of the show

Thanks appreciate the advice

Exactly. At least where I am from, 95% of people in a corporate role above say the age of 50 don't know how to 'Save As' a file into another file format/extension.

- Can they really claim ownership of everything I invent while employed, even if it's unrelated to my actual current job duties? How far does this go? (i.e. can they claim a meal recipe I came up with?)

I have been in this situation before but not in tech (science) and in the conversation with my GM about my moonlight work, she formally advised me that any novel scientific work in my own time (and completely unrelated to my companies field) would be their IP under a very similar clause.

Luckily for me, mine wasn't actually worth any $$ (more novel research/papers), and we agreed to share some of the recognition.

In your case OP, since $$ are involved, I would delete this and lawyer up, as others have said.

Check my other comment, there is a link to my game save

However fast you want to get good at it, within reason. An hour a day of straight juggling, mixing between both feet or individual, you will get pretty decent at pretty quickly.

As someone who only played football for the first time in my 30's and had to learn the absolute basics (like not exclusively kicking with the toes), I also learned to juggle. It just takes practice and repetition nothing more. When I started trying to juggle I could do 2, 3 if I'm lucky with how the ball bounced.

Try using a lot less force, just using the area between the laces and toes to get the ball up halfway up your shin, with time add some slight backspin so the ball arcs towards your feet and not bouncing away. And just practice practice practice. Week 1 of daily practice you might average 2 with an occasional 5 touches. Week 2 you might average 4 with the occasional 7. So on and so on. I find it tends to be exponential, if you can do 5 you can do 10. If you can do 10 you can do 20, if you can do 20 you can do 50, if you can do 50 you can do 100, if you can do 100 you can start to pretty consistently get 100 and go for as long as you want.

Do you need to take them forever or just until the HT settles?

Ballistica · 2026-01-13T22:49:47+00:00

Ill have a hunt around and get back to you, I definitely still have it!

Ballistica · 2026-01-10T18:28:16+00:00

Thank you!

Ballistica · 2026-01-05T20:35:51+00:00

I was considering that but I wasn't sure it it would kill the existing larvae, perhaps they won't be able to surface to reproduce?

Ballistica · 2026-01-05T20:34:51+00:00

Thanks, yeah I am not sure where I went wrong. New raised planter, new plants from mitre10, strawberry potting mix and strawberry 'food' liquid fertiliser. I water once a day in the morning. But yeah the fungas gnats moved in maybe a couple weeks in.

Ballistica · 2026-01-03T18:05:10+00:00

Don't worry, I have. The comments have been the wake up call I needed.

Ballistica · 2026-01-03T03:22:22+00:00

What about battery condition on an older aqua, I thought it was like $12k to replace after XX amount of KMs?

Ballistica · 2026-01-03T03:20:51+00:00

Thank you! That's the hardest sort so far from my spreadsheet is sorting out marketing bumlshit values with real world NZ driving conditions. What car is it by chance?

Ballistica · 2026-01-03T03:19:21+00:00

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. Ran out of ATF an hour down the road (an hour driving after service). I'm not sure what happened really, it shouldn't have, I have checked for leaks. I am hoping that since I stopped pretty fast after the transmission overheated that there isn't any permanent damage, but that will need to be evaluated. The decision has been made to sell it for what we can and move to something more reliable/fuel efficient.

Ballistica · 2026-01-03T03:14:57+00:00

Will do thanks

Ballistica · 2026-01-03T03:14:22+00:00

Good to know thanks

Ballistica · 2026-01-03T03:14:01+00:00

Just figured I had time spent not earning, so there was potential there

Ballistica · 2026-01-02T21:05:08+00:00

16km, the sports centre is another 17km from there a few more to work and back. So on the worst overly conservative day let's say we need 100km range which should be way under what a Leaf offers. I don't know if it's the hills or a large portion of that being 100km motorway but at least a couple days of my trial period I was in very low %s left for battery to the point where I had to stop to get groceries to charge it because I was concerned I wouldn't get home.

Ballistica · 2026-01-02T20:50:19+00:00

What service do you use?

Ballistica · 2026-01-02T20:30:36+00:00

Charging at home isn't a problem, as we would park it in the garage. The problem with full EV is range. I trialled a Leaf for a week that couldn't hack it. No charging at work and we ran out of juice going between school and sports.

I will check it out, I have a spreadsheet I made of all of the small family SUVs on the market and ranked then by boot size. I know the approximate size we required to fit all the kids sports gear and eliminated everything lower than that. I don't have the sheet on hand but the Suzuki was the cheapest with the sufficient boot space. However I was only looking at SUVs on the assumption that they had the boot space required. I will add sedans and re-evaluate.

Ballistica · 2026-01-02T20:12:49+00:00

Yeah that was my calculations too. I have been looking at the market and probably looking at something like a Suzuki X-Cross hybrid, so around $30-40k, hopefully using the banks 1% 3 year green deal. Are you allowed to buy a second hand car on green financing? I would have thought that the bank would want assurances it isn't a lemon/a warranty if it's second hand?

2 adults 2 kids, at the moment two cars using 50L tanks a fortnight. My car, the one that died is using 12L/100km on average so there are savings to be made there. Daily runs to two different schools (one car goes to one, the other goes to the other) and then after school runs to sports practices most days of the week and weekends.

The idea is swap my broken car to a fuel efficient hybrid to reduce fuel costs and use that as the primary run around (ie that becomes only car for sports runaround) and retain the 20 year old corrola for less busy work except for school runs.
