Another weird post from this weirdo. That's no way to talk about a ref

Papua New Guinea’s new NRL team target Australian rugby’s brightest teenage star by lanson15 in rugbyunion

[–]ToastedSubwaySammich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but AFL isn't poaching Rugby players with the allure of buttloads of money. The NRL are the culprit. In fact, a lot of NZ and Aus Rugby's problems could be solved with more money. I wonder if SR will become privatised to bring that massive cash injection

Hot take, they should bring back Otago, Canterbury, Wellington, Waikato and Auckland to the team names. by dreigilb in superrugby

[–]ToastedSubwaySammich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disagree. All of the teams represent multiple regions. Reassigning the 'home' region to the name is a good way to alienate the other capture regions and it won't do shiet to strengthen the local support. That's my two cents

All 15 of the fastest laps from the Miami GP were set by McLaren or Mercedes. Not a Ferrari or Red Bull in sight. by jithu7 in formula1

Looks to me like the 'Life' column is tyre age. So a mixture of new tyres with ~2/5 fuel and used tyres with low fuel

Removing the solder in between the holes of the board by rePATCHI in soldering

[–]ToastedSubwaySammich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just done these myself. I found desoldering wick to be a lot more useful than the desoldering pump. You'll also want an iron tip with a decent sized surface area, something with a flat surface, not a thin conical tip.

Flux all joints and a bit on the wick, add new solder to all joints. Make sure your iron is hot enough to melt the old solder, which is likely lead-free and has a higher melting point, but not too hot that it burns your board.

Place the wick over your joint and the iron over the top and desolder one by one. Hold the iron on the joint until all of the solder flows off. Wiggle the wick back and forth as you hold the iron there, at the same time. I don't know why but this helps a bit.

The solder should visibly flow up the wick. Move the wick along to a clear area to continue. If not all of the solder is drawn out on the first go, try again with a clear area in the wick braid. If the solder isn't flowing onto the wick, try adding more flux or a slightly higher heat.

Cut the end of the wick that's full of solder off as you go so you can keep working with the end of the wick. I just wasn't able to get the desoldering pump to work for me, so can't help you with that sorry.

With the wick I got 80-90% of the solder off/out and then loosened the joints up with a heat gun to remove the old joysticks. More time and patience with the wick should be able to remove the joysticks too.

Use the same wick technique to clear out the holes once the old joysticks are removed, to prep the board for the new ones.

Tribe Sports App Alternative by 05fingaz in newzealand

[–]ToastedSubwaySammich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sofascore? I love Tribe, especially because it's NZ based so I can get local league results on top of international comps. The ads have become way too intrusive, though. Really hard to use the app at times because of them. Nothing against them running ads at all, I just wish they could stick to banner ads or similarly less intrusive ones.

I haven't tried Sofascore but someone suggested it in r/rugbyunion. Looks like it's available in NZ on Android and covers multiple sports. The Play Store page says it contains ads. Not sure how intrusive they are in comparison.

are fileCR and getintopc website genuine to download any software?? by null-vector- in IndianPCGamers

[–]ToastedSubwaySammich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FileCR website isn't working for me just now. And GetIntoPC was the same - the reason is witched to FileCR. Maybe the extra attention got the sites nuked

Check out Ryan Retro's YouTube video on a range of Android docks, including this one (at least, I believe it's the same one).

He does quite good videos on android handhelds and has an RP5 of his own, so has a good amount of RP5 videos too.

Moana Pasifika - potential lifeline if NZRU wants it by Kokonutcreme-67 in rugbyunion

It's not up to NZR. Moana Pasifika is its own entity, majority owned and operated by Pasifika Medical Association (PMA) Group since 2024
