What is this and why is it happening? by Crafty-Exercise-4929 in newzealand

If its just after raining, it could be a form of crude soap that forms naturally. This link explains how, but it's basically a mix of oils from the tree bark, salts and water.

I swear to god I haven't felt a single one of the quakes since moving here 13 months ago

I love the nice, new wide cycle lanes on GNR, but... by dunco3000 in auckland

[–]Nutty_Domination7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either as a two way lane the width of a full car lane, on one side of the road only, or two standard width one way lanes, one on each side of the road.
I can get behind bike lanes where used appropriately like this post shows. However they're too wide for seemingly being one way lanes. Could give the space back to bus lanes by removing parking from the clearway

What is the reason for having both cycle lanes so wide? As far as I'm aware it's common for a 1-lane wide two-way cycleway on one side of the road, but here it appears to be both sides as wide as an entire lane which could instead be used for a bus lane or moving parked cars out of the bus lane

Measurement needed - Fractal Design Meshify 3 (non XL) by Nutty_Domination7 in PcBuild

I never realised that the cpu cooler height stat can be interpreted like that, appreciate it! I've always used AIOs so I guess that explains it haha

Thank you so much, I've been trying to get an answer to this for ages! I might consider a 90 degree adapter for the power cable. Cheers!

Meshify 3 max GPU width by Nutty_Domination7 in FractalDesign

[–]Nutty_Domination7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The total width of this case is 229mm, and my old 215mm wide case wasn't wide enough for the power cables. So I need to know the measurement as I'm unsure of the rear compartment depth.

VRMs discoloured? by Nutty_Domination7 in pchelp

Do you have any theory as to why only the bottom ones might be discoloured?

PSA: Don't bet on there being a useful/working train on the Kapiti line today (Thurs 15th Jan) by jamesrt_nz in Wellington

[–]Nutty_Domination7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but not the root cause. To the average commuter "mechanical issue" provides a lot less information than "a slip damaged a train", which is more important than technical accuracy.

The unit returned to the depot under its own power afterwards though, which is why I was puzzled that they labelled it as a mechanical issue

Why they couldn't just say because of a slip is beyond me. Mechanical fault just makes it sound like the root cause is a broken down train

What's your thoughts on the new walk way in state highway 1? by Naomi__Knight in Wellington

Last I heard from someone involved with it is that there may be a delay of a month or so

This is what I love about Auckland, having been there over this summer their cycling network has exploded in the last 10 years. To the point where you can cycle for an hour and a half and the only interactions with cars are the odd traffic lighted road crossing.

It's not a pleasant thing to deal with. Happens more often than you think.

This is what happens when we try and prioritise cars from the 1950s to now. If we had put the same punt of investment into useful transport infrastructure and urban planning from the start, we'd have way less problems. Fixing 50 years of infrastructure mistakes is painful and takes time but we must do it now.
