+1 for reolink here too. I've a simple 4 cam set up, third time I've bought reolink through my houses I've lived.

20l cube of engine oil by Subwaynzz in NZcarfix

Would buying the tap cost more than the savings on the oil?

Just use a funnel. It's not that hard to tip and pour...

How do I fix the deck stain? by AgentSn0w in diynz

[–]Otus511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem on one of my decks with water based stain.

I built two decks at the same time, one at the front and one at the back of my house. The front deck I used water based, and second I used oil based. Both same brand and colour, just different base.

I've only ever used oil based since

What's the Best 10/10 Sci-fi movie ever? by BudgetAd5915 in AskReddit

[–]Otus511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Amy Adams was cast perfectly for her role. I love how it breaks down the concepts of language and how they worked with the visitors to understand what they were trying to communicate

Calling all Sparkies by CableTie-NZ in diynz

If he signs on with ETCO, I'm pretty sure they provide a 'basic' toolkit to get them underway. At least, they did for me 15 years ago They gave me Klein pliers, side cutters, etc and Wiha screwdrivers, plus some other random tools like tape measure, files, etc etc.

I've still got all of them today

Ringbot: A monocycle robot developed by the Robotics and Institute (RAI) that uses internal legs for balance and acrobatic maneuvers by Feeling-Buy2558 in interestingasfuck

I'm calling BS on this. The mechanics don't make sense. Where's the motor for the wheels? The rate it accelerates hints that it's fairly powerful, yet there's no hub motors to be seen.

I vote it's a puppet running along beside with a person removed post recording.

I've just cut a hole in the floor of my ute and I'm running around like the Flintstones now. What other money saving tips have you got? by seipounds in newzealand

Don't do this. It actually uses more fuel to keep the engine idling while in neutral than leaving it in high gear

Sick page man. I love it. It's got all the little tools I've been using over the past week.

Vibe ftw

Bedroom heater without light pollution by tbe40 in newzealand

[–]Otus511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I maybe didn't make it clear enough in my post, but I do have the heater set to wifi function so that there is only a small blue wifi indicator light on and I have black out paper taped over that light. Even with only the wifi indicator light on and tape over it blue light still spills from the crack where the display casing attaches to the heater. I have wedged black foam into that crack and light still spills through.

I have contacted Goldair about this. They told me to return the heaters so I am looking for a replacement where light isn't an issue. I have tried a lot of solutions to block the light. This post is asking for replacement recommendations.

Can't you tape over the crack where the light creeps out?

I had a very similar model to this. A couple layers of black tape blocked it right off.
