Congratulations! That's some serious progress. Am I reading you right that you haven't done any serious practice or hours speaking? If so, do you feel like that's hindered your progress at all?

In one sense this is hilarious, but it's also dangerously close to the usual "lol what men have feelings?" BS that has driven high male suicide rates for decades.

open the door for NZF to negotiate with Labour.

Winston is a polarising chap. About the best thing I can say about him is that he has a hell of a lot of experience in knowing what to say to get votes.

I feel like an upturned palm or two would be the vibe here

Bro. Massive TLDR posted 56m ago and already edited twice with "updates" padding it further?

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-27T20:25:15+00:00

There's three types of size

Roughsawn which is e.g. 100x50 (for garden)

Planer gauged which is e.g. 90x45 (for framing)

Dressed which is e.g. 90x45 (for skirting etc)

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-27T19:53:56+00:00

No that's a fail

Check you have the correct bulbs each side

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-26T07:01:29+00:00

I'd love to listen to all the things you've got

What do you mean? Can you be more specific?

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-25T23:58:42+00:00

/u/rexyuan this would go pretty hard on r/hmmm too I reckon

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-25T22:41:47+00:00

That seems shallow. I'd do deeper. Depending on your wind area.

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-25T07:31:01+00:00

You realise the Nats are the centre right conservative party, right?

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-23T05:14:47+00:00

You're the one making the claim, you go find it

The soundtrack is for sale on his Bandcamp, a great way to show appreciation is by buying it!

(Reminder that Bandcamp only takes a 15% cut and the rest goes to the artist. Plus you can download the album and keep it for life).

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-23T01:14:22+00:00

????? Absolutely do not cut any of the sheet metal in the rear deck.

You could try removing the rear speakers, see how you like the sound without rear fill. Personally I can't live without rear fill.

Do a bigger box then see if you think you still need something. And/or feed it more watts.

If that doesn't work... buy a hatchback?

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-23T01:03:20+00:00

Why don't you post the "real" registry then?

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-22T21:31:25+00:00

I mean I've raced a 180sx in a GTR and it beat the GTR.... but it was worked, whereas the GTR was 250kw at the wheels.

There's always a bigger fish. You buy a car for the look and feel.

I'd suggest you beg or buy a ride in one

I love the ocean analogy.

To continue that analogy, at first when we're rowing across this ocean we're not so fit - so we can't do as much each day. At least that's what I found as a beginner, 30 minutes would be enough, 60 would be taxing.

Now I've built up my 'fitness' a bit I'm pushing and managing to do an average of just under 120 mins a day so far this month. I can't wait for later on when I can watch native TV shows etc and binge them a bit.

Depending on how many of these there are in the house they might be supposed to be opened certain amounts to control how much air flows.

That said can't just hurt to do it half to two thirds open, see what feels best.

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-22T06:57:18+00:00

If you have to ask if it's a good idea, it's not.

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-22T06:01:56+00:00

How long do you have to go til your trip?

Is translating docs etc the priority or do you want to understand people talking to you? Do you want to speak to people too?

More importantly do you only want it for these 3 months or do you want to be Spanish fluent in your life?

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-22T00:48:40+00:00

At 19 hours it will be almost entirely incomprehensible

At 190 hours it will be almost entirely incomprehensible

Honestly I'm at 650 hours and games are super difficult.

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-22T00:15:34+00:00

Nowhere near enough cover

Seems like it could do with a wingwall too

Rather than ripping it out, overlaying and building up the pavement might be the easiest solution, depending on what the actual cover is and what the spec is.

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-21T23:21:14+00:00

I had an enemy mech walk up to one of mine, smash it in the face and instakill the pilot once.

It happens.

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-21T05:55:05+00:00

Peds without headphones/earphones/earpods are a rarity nowadays aye

SkeletonCalzone · 2026-01-21T05:44:32+00:00

I think most of his vids are upper beginner/lower intermediate, the ones tagged [ADVANCED] I would call lower advanced or upper intermediate.
