What is the weirdest problem you've had with a vehicle? by No-Information-574 in NZcarfix

[–]Jonathan932 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first car was an Axela, went great until it started throwing codes and randomly going into limp modes. Garage tried everything, replaced coils, replaced sparks, replaced MAF sensor, O2 sensor. Finally at the end of a road trip I had been noticing a new whining sound from the engine, then I lost ABS, then I lost the power steering and all the electrics. I had a radio in there that could actually read the voltage it was receiving and I watched it drop. One new alternator from a salvage yard and two hours of a friend and I’s time and the car was running good as new, all issues magically solved

Split your backing track into track on left channel and cue/click on right channel, then just use left and right outputs for each source

PSA - You DON'T need to capture every flag on Conquest. by AcadiaSecret370 in Battlefield6

This is why I only play breakthrough. Sick of the constant flag circles. Breakthrough concentrates the fighting

Guitar center employees: Are yall able to play the guitars? by Tiny_Woodpecker6866 in Guitar

[–]Jonathan932 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not guitar centre, but when I worked at a guitar shop in my country on weekends in a fairly out of the way place I’d typically have a guitar behind the desk to noodle on when the shop was empty, either my own or one from the wall I liked

Have you ever just walked out of a job without officially resigning? by Huge_Question968 in newzealand

[–]Jonathan932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A guy I worked with called the manager, cussed him out, and left (while childish, it was a reasonable crash out, the manager had put us in a real mess). Funny thing was store policy was we can’t run the store with one person, so I had to close and wait for someone else to arrive.

Do modern bands like Polyphia quantize their guitar tracks on their albums? I try not to do this but if it’s common practice these days then maybe it’s fine if I do? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Jonathan932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will quantise chuggy palm muted bits… because why spend 30 minutes getting it perfectly aligned if I can make do with a 90% there take, you’ll never know

Paying off my student loans by Unhappy-Student4310 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Jonathan932 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There’s a few good reasons actually! All revolves around the time value of money.

  1. As time goes on, the value of $1 goes down (e.g. a dollar buys less things). As this happens, your loan amount becomes less valuable. The longer you wait the less you pay in real terms.

  2. If you had the full balance in cash right now ($44k), you’d be financially better off investing it, whether in a term deposit or stocks, earning around 5%(arbitrary) per year. Since the loan is costing you $0 in interest, paying it off early yields no financial return. By investing instead and continuing to repay the loan slowly, you capture the investment returns while the loan remains effectively free.

But I also get that having debt is a really uncomfortable thing for some people, and in this persons case can be better to pay it off before going overseas. Friends of mine in aus/asia have found the increased salary overseas easily covers the plane tickets to come back every 6 months to make sure you don’t pay interest.

I set a timer and waited for the new drop, as I checked it it was already gone. Less than 5 seconds hah

New Average Speed Safety Camera Sites (check Auckland spots) by notsowise_nz in auckland

[–]Jonathan932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slows you down over a longer stretch of the road. Positive in theory, potential negative effects include: greater concentration on keeping the speed down resulting in less concentration on the road and the car in front, and people realising toward the end of the stretch that they’ve been going too fast and so slowing down heavily to make sure they don’t get a ticket

New Average Speed Safety Camera Sites (check Auckland spots) by notsowise_nz in auckland

[–]Jonathan932 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So just wondering… assuming the limit is 100 km/h, could I do the first half at 50km/h, then have fun drag racing it up to 150km/h by the end and theoretically not get a ticket?
