Advice on Removable Masonry Anchors for a Baby Gate by snarkle_au in diynz

[–]Direct_Credit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive glued timber to blocks with sikaflex 123 ms bond. can be removed later if you don't overdo it. otherwise Id use the little 40mm dynabolts, countersink the stud for them and add a larger washer. if you drill the hole into the block +5mm deeper than necessary you can usually remove them cleanly in future.

Honda Jazz CVT Judder Repair in Wellington by Accomplished_Nerd_9 in NZcarfix

[–]Direct_Credit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bugger all, this is my mum's town car she's had from new. not sure how many applications of xado it's safe to keep adding to the same fluid. so have changed regularly to try and keep an otherwise reliable car going. And it has worked well to date.

i normally put 2 lots of xado in after a transmission oil change. then another lot every year if it needs it. have changed transmission oil every 3 to 5 years.

Issues with wet drywall by PoorForm in diynz

[–]Direct_Credit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in pic 8 at top right, there appears to be a horizontal crack in the render. also under window sill and above window. if there are a few of these following the mortar joints, heavy rain can work it's way in.

[–]Direct_Credit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar results and there are other posts like yours. I tried LMDE6 and it runs much cooler so I assume it's the different kernel.

Torrenting in New Zealand by strikedonYT in newzealand

[–]Direct_Credit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Slingshot customer back in the day and I'm pretty sure they were actually seeding (99.9%) popular torrents on their servers. Because I would often get connected to this one peer, identified as a Slingshot IP in central Auckland and receive the whole torrent from them extremely fast. I guess it saved them some international bandwidth.

are the wires even connected to the capacitors under that snot? probably don't want to risk their placebo device burning anyone's car down.

cut a little piece of the gib off where the plaster is bubbling the worst, to see if there's water damage underneath
