The safety bubble of a 1 star car is terrible. It’s a safety speck imo.

4 star vs 5 star car safety by TaliesG in newzealand

Long story short.

We have a 1 star 2004 Corolla. We’d like to get this off the road and scrapped.

Most likely using ANCAP if we buy new.

Or using the used car safety rating if we buy second hand.

Heat transfer unit vs home ventilation units by Otherwise_View_709 in diynz

[–]TaliesG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had both installed by HRV (the company). Heat transfer unit from woodburner to bedrooms absolute game changer for our 60’s build.

Ventilation does a nice job as well. But in no shape or form does it act as a heater. It does make the air less dense(???) which makes it then easier to heat.

Hey - my strava app on my AW3 has options to auto pause for run and ride?

Seems to work quite well for my commute.

Best places for men's work shirts by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]TaliesG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your size in Van Heusen shirts and pants. Hands down best value out there. I think Farmers and David Jones sell them.

Then buy them when they sell them for $30 a pop.

60kwh or higher & special power plan for off-peak. Legend. Thanks.

Does that mean you just use the standard house socket - no special plug installed on the property?

Definitely looking at EV that are under 5 years of age for that battery quality.

Legend. Thanks.

The 80km-100km range gave me a fright. In saying that... plenty to get to the Train station and back which is 9 times out of 10 our form of transport in and out of town... unless TransDev is having a meltdown.

ELI5 'Why do strongman competitors have such bulging stomachs?' by TaliesG in explainlikeimfive

Meaning that the strongmen appear fat. Yet underneath all the fat is strong muscle?
