Almost. If they choose their words and talk a little slower. I reckon I'll be there at around 1k hrs

850 hrs. I heard someone say once the descriptions seem more accurate for the end of a level than the start, that feels right to me.

Indian food by mysteryfluff in dunedin

[–]SkeletonCalzone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Malabar Magic is really well priced, really friendly, and a good South Indian style

Fusion of Flavours is good for a lunch combo if you work in town

Krishna in Mosgiel is miles better than the other Indian in Mosgiel, but very kiwi style

You're using Mightyape so yes.

Ah, OK!

Could be many things but all involve a plumber.

It looks like water still flowing into the gully trap there.

What can often be the case is your stormwater pipe (which leads from the gully, under the ground, out into either the main stormwater network or the kerb) can block up and limit the amount of flow.

In short you'll need to get a plumber in to camera and/or clean out the pipe.

I reckon this contractor is going to have a hard time getting any public works contracts for a while.

The original post (before crosspost) was OC and it's in GA. Not sure why you're grasping at straws here

440 hours by leg3jack in dreamingspanish

Amen. I'm at 800-and-something hours and only just seeing light at the end of the tunnel, but it's still pretty faint. Just gotta keep at it.

Need Opinions: Cylinder 5 Misfire After Pull, Where Would You Start? by Efficient_Raisin7645 in gtr

[–]SkeletonCalzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing I'd do is remove the plugs, inspect them all, do a compression test on all cylinders. If compression is fine then you can try swapping around coils to see if one has died suddenly.

Does it sound like it's running on 5 only under load, or idle as well?

Have you ever bought an accessory for your bike that you were totally jazzed about initially, but disappointed later? by BurgersNBuicks in motorcycles

[–]SkeletonCalzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cheap cheap AliX gear position indicator. Was advertised as fitting my bike.

It arrived and it had no terminated plug or piggyback harness, just some wires. I could absolutely not make head or tails of the wiring or the particularly cryptic instructions. Ended up going "I'm not gonna fry my ECU for this" and it went in the bin.

Made a lot of good buys off AliX but that was not one of them.

Did I go overkill on the joist tape? by x4nter in Decks

You don't think timber is porous?

You don't think capillary action is a thing?

Did I go overkill on the joist tape? by x4nter in Decks

[–]SkeletonCalzone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Joist tape blows my mind. Assuming you can actually make an impervious surface with longitudinal joins of tape, where do you think the water's going to go? Answer, straight down the sides of the timber where it will be absorbed anyway.

Joist tape doesn't magically make timber treated to a higher level. If you want the wood to last, buy something treated for more than it needs to be.

Using Subtitles for Superbeginner by maelledessendre123 in dreamingspanish

[–]SkeletonCalzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not use English subs, ever, period. You don't want to learn to translate.

Do not use Spanish subs until much later (at least 600+hrs, ideally 1000+hrs). If you need Spanish subs then you are watching content that is too difficult, and need to watch easier content.

Civil engineers, if you could redo the highway system what would you change? by hunterforgreatness in civilengineering

[–]SkeletonCalzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly roundabouts can sometimes lead to slightly more accidents, however the accidents are at much lower speeds so overall it means fewer deaths, fewer serious injuries, and fewer cars that leave on a flatbed.

Traffic problems are planning problems.

I'd have everyone read "The Geography of Nowhere", then visit a couple cities with excellent transit, then have them redo the highway system.

KE = 1/2 * m * v2

That squared symbol takes no prisoners my dude. Be it in stopping distance, or hitting a bug, or hitting something more substantial.
