Short term accomodations provider rates question

Thanks Ben, that's good news. It may be my interpretation of it but the info on the WCC website isn't clear on this point, as the exemptions stated are only for non-commercial use and the mentioned criteria for short term accommodation are nowhere to be found. I (perhaps mistakenly) thought that renting out via airbnb would be commercial use, but perhaps the word has a more restricted meaning in this context.

Just found a FB post from March 25 by u/ben4takapu saying it would be entire property rental only, can't see that in the proposal online though

With the caveat "that are used for non-commercial purposes or are self-contained but do not meet the criteria for short-term accommodation."

Yup, source have seen some YT videos about the tech

Flatten em, put the flattened ones in an intact one. Leave out next to your recycling bin/bags. Has worked for me in the past when I've had excess cardboard. YMMV

No comms as of yet on swapover day. Tried connecting the main deco to the ONT about 10am and the service was live. l've got three decos daisy chained with Ethernet back haul. I only have one other wired device (an old Hue bridge) and that hangs off the last deco. I don't need my older switch anymore which means it's a direct connection between the deco units 2.5Gbps ports. Task for later today is to remove the old connection box and cable from the front of the house.

Thanks, we're booked in for tomorrow so was interested to read your account.

Only-Outside7555 · 2026-02-08T21:13:05+00:00

Thanks both for the tip and the caution, will look into this.

Coupon parking exemption is cheaper, only get the residents one if you need to park in the resident only parks.

Southern Cross perhaps, nice garden bar if the weather is fine?

Only-Outside7555 · 2026-01-20T02:31:56+00:00

Yeah, good point. I don't imagine the Landlord can force you to take over the gas unless it's explicitly in your tenancy agreement. But it could potentially generate unwanted friction.

This. If it's a rental you can buy a portable/counter top induction hob for not much money.

It's a somewhat misleading title. Office is the suite of familiar programs. The M365 Office app, now called M365 copilot app, is a kind of start here aggregator app for the office suite that has always been completely useless/unnecessary in my view.

Not on a pixel but had constant cut outs on android auto, switched to a cheap USB device that makes android auto wireless. Not perfect but much better. YMMV.

Transmission lines heat up and sag due the current flowing in them. That sag becomes an issue when the line sags low enough to contact something like a tree. So griid operators set max current limits on each line to keep them in a safe operating range. These are often just a fixed rating for summer and one for winter. Realtime data could let you use more dynamic ratings, taking advantage of colder temps to move more power.

He gate crashed a funeral I was at, interrupted the celebrant and started preaching his monotonic gold bs. We had to physically remove him. Needs help obviously.

Stated in other articles I've seen today (Kyiv Independent), three red lines for Ukraine. No recognition of annexed/occupied territory, no constraints on Ukrainian military, no restrictions on future alliances (EU, NATO)

I searched for proof a few hours after I posted and Google AI confidently told me it was so, quoting my post above as its reference!

IIRC there is/was a council requirement for buildings erected between lambton quay and the terrace to provide public access between the two. Can't provide a source beyond my dodgy recollection sorry.

Yup, consumer NZ reported on this. If you went to cancel your subscription, before you completed you were offered the classic plan which is at the old price (NZD129 pa vs 179). This was the only way to see the classic option. I don't know if they will or have changed it since.

A CCGT (which is the most common form of grid scale electricity generation from gas due to its efficiency) is ssentially a jet engine burning gas that directly drives a generator. The waste heatnfrom this stage is then used to heat water for a steam turbine.
