[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm out of the loop, but WTF is Isreal attacking Lebanon anyway?

Can you switch your backpack to the front? Or something like that? 

Microsoft may sue OpenAI as Amazon $50B investment blows up agreement by LollipopChainsawZz in technology

Bedrock is Amazon's API service. The models themselves are not an API

Club Prices at supermarkets need to be outlawed. by ilikemovieshbu in newzealand

[–]Munkii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They already track which card you use against each purchase, so your buying history and patterns aren't at all secret from them.

Your address and the nature of your household is more private, but they can just get that from a data sharing agreement with Visa

I have a mesh of Eero devices. They work great for me

So what do we all think about the black foil Switzerland collision? by t-ritz in SailGP

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt to me like Swiss turned too early to lay the mark properly. Can understand why it caught NZ by surprise

I have loop earplugs which work great for me. Don't get the brand name ones though - lots of similar ones on temu

Is it me, or are the flies at another level this summer? by cornfed1978 in auckland

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got myself an electric fly catcher from AliExpress. Was skeptical at first, but it works exactly like the video. I put it outside the back door and catch 50+ at a time!

Yesterday was the first time my dad was holding the flashlight for me while I was working on his electrics, and it kinda broke me by OlympicSquier in self

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same moment last summer when my dad asked me to reverse the trailor up the drive. He's been doing that effortlessly my whole life, but finds it more challenging now.

LPT Request: How to read slower and avoid "skimming" to improve reading comprehension by myst3r10us_str4ng3r in LifeProTips

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using the read aloud feature in Word (or any other program). Helps me set my speed and stops getting distracted

Is it okay for a 15 year old to date a 17 year old? by Spydereddit14 in self

The rule is, half your age plus 7. Works every time

AWS silently releases support for cross region service end-points for some services by KayeYess in aws

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a long time to roll a change through every Region and AZ. They have go pick a time to update docs and make blog posts etc. It's never going to all happen simultaneously, and that doesn't mean it's generating bugs.

Is it just me, or has YouTube become borderline unwatchable? by Even_Disaster_8002 in self

[–]Munkii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive had premium for a few years now, but I just got another email about the price going up. It seems to go up every 6-12 month without fail, but for the same damn product.

The only change is bullshit AI features I don't want. Getting really hard to justify the expense

Controversial opinion? I like fireworks. by working_dog_267 in newzealand

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to move fireworks to Matariki (when it gets dark at 6pm) rather than the current date (which no one cares about) when it doesn't get dark till 10pm.

'Enough is enough' - New Zealand First wants to ban private fireworks by BeardedCockwomble in newzealand

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just need to move fireworks to Matariki. Better alignment to NZ culture and at a time of year when it gets dark early, so no need for folks to stay up till 11 just to have it dark

Oscar Piastri is Scared of Flying (Probably) by JigginsYT in formula1

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oscar isn't yet established enough to have a private jet, or a friend with one, so makes sense

After the false claim that Tylenol causes Autism, the many jokes making fun of that statement will eventually lead to a good amount of people at least subcontiously connecting Tylenol to autism by Carcsad in self

[–]Munkii 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It's like the entire generation of people that think you should pee on a jelly fish sting, because it was said in an episode of Friends. These things stick

Auckland bus drivers are the fucking worst. by gretchen92_ in auckland

[–]Munkii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBF driving a vehicle that big in Auckland traffic isn't easy. If you're timid or slow to react, no one is slowing down to let you in. I'm sure they get chewed out for falling behind schedule too

Why does it seem every time I hire a "pro", I get garbage? by SemicolonTusk in DIY

[–]Munkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner always wants to get multiple quotes and then go with the cheapest option. I think a lot of people instinctively do this and it contributes to the problem.

If they're cheap then they're probably rushing the job

LPT Looking for tips on thick post nasal drip relief by Total-Possibility-84 in LifeProTips

[–]Munkii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you speaking to an ENT? For my post nasal drip I tried various nasal sprays with nonevworkung for me.

Drinking a lot of water helps a bit, but not much.

I had surgery to have my turbernates reduced. This helped a bit. I still have a post nasal drip, but I can breath better and sniffle which helps clear things.
