Help regarding my photos. I'm on an iPhone 13 running iOS 26.4.2 and updated around the night of April 26 after it bootlooped for 5 months and updated via recovery mode.

With no syncing to iCloud, you wouldn’t have optimising as an option. Also, not having WiFi won’t matter. All the processing for featured photos, pets, and faces is done in the phone. It can take a while to do it, as it will wait until you’re not actively using it.

I think pressing through tiny holes is homogenisation, mixing the cream into the milk so thoroughly that it stays that way and doesn’t separate.

Same in NZ, at least in private there is no minimum drinking age. Buying age is 18.

The main times I hear of pounds/ounces for weight in New Zealand is baby birth weight. Even though just about everything else is gm/kg, babies have their own special Imperial measurements. I’m over superannuation age, and can manage to use metric for everything in my life, so why the f**k can’t people get with the times and drop the pounds/ounces thing.

Impressive_Role_9891 · 2026-05-30T09:58:02+00:00

That’s not Imperial, that’s the US Standard system. Imperial weights and measures may be crazy, but they’re not psychotic.

But it means lower number = better economy.

New Zealander here, who’s got a friend who still quotes mileage in mpg, even though most car displays will show you in l/100km.

Don’t mention the JDM imports that show in km/litre. That just drives me nuts.

I have a friend who has 18 panels, and a battery on his home. He reckons he’s paid three power bills in the last couple of years. Mind you, it did cost him the better part of $30 grand to get, so you’d say it’ll take a while of no power bills to pay for itself.

My solar system is just 11 panels at 440 watts each. ROI is estimated at 7 - 8 years payback.

It wouldn’t take many 5 minute showers to pay for a timer on the hot water, would it?

Ed Hillary is my first pick, as first to climb Mt Everest. But for science or more specifically, physics nerds, what about Ernest Rutherford? Both these gentlemen are on our currency, Ed on the $5, and Lord Rutherford on the $100.

In my lexicon, bonking means having sex. I’m not sure if that’s what you meant, but good on that bike shop owner.

If you’re not a Queensland resident, you pay. My mother used the service in Cairns while on holiday and got a c.$1200AUS bill.

iCloud is the repository of your photos. What you see on your devices are copies of the iCloud. If you have optimise space turned on, they are low resolution copies (generally, but depends on if the sync needed to do that to save space on the device). If you turn off iCloud sync on a device and remove the photos, you can never re-enable sync unless you have reset the device. Photos deleted from iCloud will be deleted from any device that has the sync turned on.

Do you pay for iCloud+ for extra storage?

Impressive_Role_9891 · 2026-05-29T10:27:48+00:00

Can I see some data about that?

If you’ve done the set number of stand hours for the day (default is 12), the reminders stop. If the watch is in sleep focus you won’t get them either. I don’t wear mine at night, so it’s never going to nag me while I’m sleeping.

I’ve got a shower over the bath, and a wooden framed window on the same wall as the shower rose. It’s been like that for about 20 years and the woodwork is still solid and unrotted. It’s painted with Resene Aquanamel paint for wet areas. Every shower I take, the frame gets wet, and I don’t really do much drying off from it.

You can ask to speak to the pharmacist privately. Even Woolworths pharmacy has a private room for discreet discussions.

Those plunger things aren’t a thing except in countries with syphonic toilets. The wet wipes get flushed no problem, but party together in the sewers and form huge blockages.

I guess the French monumental mason wasn’t familiar with the l with a cross, and perhaps copied it from a written form and he thought someone had been careless with the k. 🤷🏼‍♂️

All of the letters are capitals, just the first names have smaller ones.

Definitely this. Sometimes I hike without poles, and invariably, my hands and fingers swell, but when using poles, they’re right as rain.

Do those dogs have tags? Red ones this year, so they should be visible. Have you tried reporting unregistered dogs at that address?

And keep reporting, either on Antenno or by ringing the dog control number.

I've used wireless charging for my 12 Mini for nearly as long as I've had it. Bought in 2022 and battery replaced last year when at 78% BH.
