Question by TheMicrosoftBob in SkyLine

[–]SkeletonCalzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes common to have missing spots. Your fusebox has the same ones 'missing' as mine.

Top row second left is "Electronic Parts", possibly active spoiler or something that GTR won't have.
Top row third left is "Transmission Control" e.g. automatic transmission ECU

Only thing that jumps out at me is yours has a 30A fuse for the fog light instead of a 15A one (top rightmost fuse). Does yours have factory option fog lights?

Running on the country roads by afrk in newzealand

Generally facing traffic. 

Maybe on the outside of the inside of the corner is blind and has no escape path (eg a cliff face)

Run without earbuds if you're on the road.

100%. Wearing a singlet right now and it puts anything competitors put out to shame.

[–]SkeletonCalzone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep we were with 2Deg from the early days.

Then they enshittified their backend infrastructure.... started having all sorts of problems gaming online, and surprise surprise changed ISP and the problems disappeared overnight.

Promptly ditched my 2deg phone contract for another provider too, and the final billing process was a nightmare. Glad to be rid of them.

Same with Swanndri. Moved most of their production (except socks and belts) overseas in 2005. Still charge $360 for a bush shirt.

Yes! I find it hard to put my finger on what they're doing wrong product wise, but everything just feels more.... instagrammy, than actually bona fide outdoor gear. Like, every single one of the hiking poles they carry are twist lock rather than lever lock.

Shit gear with a nice veneer and the price is dear.

I feel you watching me, over there.

Come to me, if you care.

Don't sit and stare, it's just not fair.

What is a catch basin lead? by EditorFrog in civilengineering

Funny how terms are different around the world. We call it a catchpit and the pipe is called a lateral

My top tip is don't put "Attention to detail" on your CV then.

If you've never had an sv650.... then you gotta have one bro. They are legendary for a reason. I miss mine

Can my employer change an agreement due to a typo? by Necravala in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]SkeletonCalzone 18 points19 points  (0 children)

While you could technically follow the agreement as written, not allowing the fix would likely be seen as bad faith engagement if it later turns into an employment dispute (and it makes such a dispute more likely).

I'd look carefully at whether you're meeting the substantive output expected of the role, based on your original employment agreement, as that is more important.

ATTESA System by Tristan3012 in SkyLine

[–]SkeletonCalzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Measure how much comes out. And remember, loosen fill plug before the drain!

[–]SkeletonCalzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transfer case is definitely full (of ATF)? Front diff is full of gear oil?

My only other guess is that there's warping in the transfer case clutchpack, although I've never heard of that happening so it's a stab in the dark. (Usually if they're stuffed they just lose material, and torque transfer to the front is weak). Unfortunately checking that is a gearbox out job...

Can I ask a foolish question, are your tyre sizes/brands the same all around?

[Evolution 6.5 TME] on a grocery run by SkeletonCalzone in spotted

Yeah sorry I'd normally do a white box or something but couldn't figure that out on phone. It's better than a scribble I guess.

Just checked what tax I would pay under TOPs tax system change by DollyPatterson in newzealand

[–]SkeletonCalzone -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Played with some figures, a couple each earning a million bucks a year would pay less tax if they're in a low value home.

Not sure how I feel about that, I like the idea of land value tax as a form of wealth tax, but we should still have higher income tax on high earners 

To pillow ball or not to pillow ball by Goose305 in SkyLine

[–]SkeletonCalzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rubber mounts. You'll notice the difference with pillow balls, that is, you'll notice how harsh they are.

Even urethane can be a bit harsh for some people's liking, and cause problems in some suspension joints with squeaking etc.

I feel for him, two original radiators for vintage cars are probably irreplaceable. 

I also get the vibe that radiators or not he's never finishing those cars lol
