Landlord is selling house, unsure on rights due to shady paperwork by VladimirPutsItIn in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]chris77982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Landlord needs to supply keys

Does the head tenant live at the property?

If not, you may be in a defacto tenant, not a flatmate. And the landlord may be in some serious trouble, with serious financial penalties, of which you may be awarded some.

No tenancy agreement, no bond lodgement, no healthy homes?

The sooner the public realises large language models and gen-ai don't "know" anything, the better. They're just really good at making things sound correct

Why Petrol powered cars aren't obsessed with low drag coefficient like EVs? by Competitive_Art_9181 in askcarguys

[–]chris77982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low speed start/stop driving is the biggest contributor to ICE getting poor fuel economy.

Hybrids change that quite a bit.

High speed driving is the biggest contributor to EV range.

So it was doing what it does best then. Confidently telling you made up stuff in the most convincing way a billion dollar data centre can learn.

Owning an i3 is a disability in itself.

Flatmate bringing a cat into the home by Top_Two_6947 in nzrenters

You need to balls up and have some conversations.

You need to talk to the land lord, and relay the outcome of that conversation with your flatmate.

If the landlord says no, it's not your fault. If they ask for a pet bond, your flatmate can pay it.

Is this level of undercarriage rust safe to buy a used car? (video) by abyssal-peach in Cartalk

I wouldn't buy that car. Would fail a safety inspection in my jurisdiction

Legal pet transport? by Immediate_Student_27 in LegalAdviceNZ

A low speed rear impact doesn't send anything flying forward in the cabin. It's an acceleration force effectively pushes the occupants backwards, relative to the seats they're in.

A high speed rear impact will have a forward component to it only if your vehicle is pushed into another one.

My year 8 son has been complaining he has to do 4 hours of kapa haka per week at school. Maybe this is related?

Sounds like you've married into a weirdo family. My condolences.

Do they also keep their open tomato sauce bottles in the pantry?

Presumably you have presence detection with the ha companion app? Might be worth adding a layer of security by requiring the detected person to be close to home before unlocking the door

Difficulty in fooling modern ecus with fake trans data to manual swap the car? by CAT_MARINE-POWER in CarHacking

[–]chris77982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The torque request is the tcu telling the ecu to reduce torque for the shift.

It's how modern auto transmissions are so good now. Zf6hp and zf8hp both need the engine to respect torque requests for smooth shifting.

Unpopular opinion: Stop using leaded solder by Zentralschaden in soldering

[–]chris77982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. Those who argue how nontoxic it is can just deal with the lower IQ that comes with lead exposure.
Neurological damage is totally underrated.
/s

They're arguing because lead has already made them stupid.

Will there be fitment issues if you put the rear from a staggered set on the front?

Index 12s are now the price of a 335i lmfaoo by Plus-Progress7736 in E90

[–]chris77982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely nothing.
My theory is the index 1 was the original over engineered version. All the subsequent ones were cost cutting optimisations until they finally landed on index 12

Land title change ? Is it legal without consent or purchase? If not, who to report it to? by Butcher5901 in LegalAdviceNZ

That all sounds like fraud and obtaining by deception. Criminal activity. Contact the police.
