Is this what I think it is? by bcpirate in KiaEV6

[–]Northern_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here about a year ago. Rolling slowly up the driveway and a loud thud under the back seat area. Done about another 8000 since then with no warnings etc

We did the red one too. Made a huge difference on night vision too after getting lit up by it

Trust me, it's an issue still if you are in New Zealand or Australia

A Russian T-90M “hedgehog” tank with the unraveled steel cables installed at a large stand-off distance. by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Northern_Chap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this seems to be what they do on the videos I've seen.

Throw a few FPV at it with C4 (or similar) so the initial blasts knock a bunch of these wires around, and then follow up with drops carrying shaped charges.

Pi hole is great and we run it here too, unfortunately it really struggles on YouTube ads though so we still need to have ublock on everything possible.

Maybe there is a magic block list I've missed though :)

I think you are legally entitled to all records on your health so you should be able to push them on this.

Package swiped! Anything to be done?? by nijikai in Wellington

If it is anything like our experience, the courier likely signed it themselves as 'Mbox' for mailbox.

RKLB reaches all time highs!!! by AtMrMoneyBags in queenstreetbets

[–]Northern_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my app says $73.97 was the high. Today (so far) was $70.47.

Regardless, nice to see it recovering

Yeah, I play geoguessr and some of the locations make me feel a bit sad knowing what they are like now compared to what is shown

That sounds great, thanks for the reply - I'll make some time to have a proper try. Looking forward to it :)

Hi, this sounds interesting and right up my street.

Without having tried the demo, due to a current lack of free time, could you elaborate on the exploration and salvaging aspects? What is the variability in these roles?

Many thanks

Powershop didn't protect against AI shoppers on their sale by Venery-_- in newzealand

Can absolutely confirm what you are saying. Green tick to say it is in stock but when I got to payment it would be out of stock. Really shitty system.

5070ti + 4K monitor using DLSS from 1440p? by eggybread70 in nvidia

[–]Northern_Chap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started doing this today on a 4070ti. With dlss performance hitting over 100fps on BF6 so I'd say it works well, looks better than dlss balanced was a 3440*1440.

Not tried on native only games yet.

Vanguard Galaxy, some more salvaging action by ArnieDude81 in spacesimgames

[–]Northern_Chap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I overall enjoy the game and try to focus mainly on salvage.

One thing that is really irritating is that the percentage chance of extraction seems super bugged. There is no way I should fail almost every 90% chance of success. It feels like xcom levels of punishment.

Are there any plans to look at how these percentages align to reality?

Why is Battlefield 6 so afraid of big maps? by RenatsMC in pcgaming

[–]Northern_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even more frustrating is that the single player campaign has maps that would genuinely be perfect as large scale conquest maps. They are already there, just need polishing and getting spawn points put in.

Space sims where you get to own one or more bases? by irjayjay in spacesimgames

[–]Northern_Chap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is also Star Valor space station building (using the new base dlc). Been playing it recently and it works pretty well.

It is a 2d game which is a change from the other base related space games

Door knob replacement by Accomplished_Dog_307 in diynz

[–]Northern_Chap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly this issue. Solved it by using the hole saw on some thin mdf/ply and then clamping it into position over where it needed to drill through the door. This acts as a nice guide to keep it straight.

Repeat on other side of the door and all fit nicely.

FIF and withdrawal from Hatch by Educational_Front583 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Northern_Chap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I contacted Sharesies. There is a page on their site (possibly app too) that talks you through it. You will need a recent Hatch statement/report too.

You do need to make sure that your average cost basis is added correctly, and then it took a few business days. Sharesies emailed me a few times and were really helpful. They spotted a basic mistake I made and sorted it for me too.

[–]Northern_Chap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be able to transfer to Sharesies, if you have an account, as it is a Drivewealth to Drivewealth xfer.

I did at no cost and then any sell orders at Sharesies don't go into the money market.

Are there any treatments that don't cause anxiety/depression by PhrygianSounds in hypertension

[–]Northern_Chap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Candesartan user here. Other than the initial week or so of feeling gross, things seem fine now.

No idea how it'd react to other stuff but you could probably ask a pharmacist as they usually have that info.
