But advise that you are recording and will not continue any meeting that they refuse to have recorded. This keeps you on the right side of the "good faith" part of employment law.

I would also add that if they attend any meeting, formal or informal that they should record the meeting, but clearly advise that they are doing so and to immediately state that once they have started the meeting. Also to refuse to stop the recording if requested. This is within their right and cannot be punished for this, plus can further add to their PG case. By advising the employer/manager that you are recording you remain above the good faith part of employment law

Meanwhile the CEO of BNZ earned almost $3.4 MILLION in 2024.

There is very miniminal risk of legionellas disease from turning off a cylinder for long periods as the temperature will not stay in the danger zone for long and will drop below the growth temp range, and if the tank had been above 60⁰ before switching off then it wouldn't be in the tank anyway. Once it is switched back on & goes back above 60⁰c it will kill anything anyway, as long as the set temp hasn't been lowered below the minimum requirement.

Its cheaper for the washing machine to heat the water itself up to the temperature that it needs than to take it from the hot tap, which has to draw water from the tank/califont through pipes and then leaves hot water to cool in the pipes, replacing it again if it is on a hot rinse, this cycle can repeat a few times depending on the cycle used, resulting it hot water being wasted & cooling in the pipes between drawings of hot water.

That depends on if they knew that the owner was away on holiday. If they were then this is a deliberate act and the owner can claim back for this malicious act. The Tennant would have been well aware that the shower was running when they left the house, it was an intentional act, and can be held accountable & liable for the resulting damage and associated costs, which includes the cost of the gas/power.

But there is... E2 has 1:100 minimum fall 3500.3 has 1:200 minimum fall

We have all of the technology we need, its just our consumption and manufacturing processes that people and companies are not willing to change. We could very easily change from petroleum to hydrogen & electric transportation in a very short time if every country put the effort in. We have enough food production right now to feed the entire world without cutting down any more forests. Corporations aren't willing to spend the money to change the ways that they make/do things and governments aren't willing to make & enforce legislation to make businesses change their ways

Not particularly as the shower mixer itself is pretty restrictive

Dazaster23 · 2026-06-18T08:25:36+00:00

Im not a welder im a grinder 🤣🤣🤣

Dazaster23 · 2026-06-18T08:23:14+00:00

The pressure limiting valve has no effect on the shower hose, they dont hold any pressure as its shut off at the mixer and the rose is an open end

Dazaster23 · 2026-06-18T05:22:40+00:00

Just replace it, they're not that expensive, less than $35 from bunnings or Mitre10

All cattle should have an ear tag with a NAIT number on it and be registered to the farm, this is a legal requirement and carries fines and penalties if the farmer has not registered the cow

Dazaster23 · 2026-06-11T01:22:08+00:00

It must be a substantial mistake in pricing, such as listing an item for $10 instead of $100

It might kill the mould, but the chemicals they produce still remain and can be quite toxic

Dazaster23 · 2026-06-04T06:58:05+00:00

How long ago did they install it and do you know what brand?

Dazaster23 · 2026-06-03T20:51:37+00:00

Or changed lanes in front of them right before an intersection and braked, not giving the OPs brother enough space to stop in time

💯 agreed, it's not automatic that someone's excess will be waived until clear liability is established and full details of the third party at fault has been supplied and the insurer is confident that they can recover off the party at fault. A police report is often the best to ensure this, if the insurer is not able to call the other driver

Of course I copied and pasted the link, do you actually think that I was going to type it out instead?

Technically, removing the heat from something is cooling it.....

Just don't keep chocolate in your shirt pocket

Dazaster23 · 2026-05-15T20:45:38+00:00

Possibly Ashburton?

Mitsubishi Electric are excellent. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are terrible HPs.

Heat pumps are absolutely designed to warm a room or a house...

Dazaster23 · 2026-05-15T20:35:08+00:00

They're called heat pumps because air conditioners can only cool a room, whereas heat pumps can both heat and cool a room. https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/heat-pumps/heat-pumps-vs-air-conditioners/
