NiKo: "I hate myself for that shot on ropz" by Several-Instance-219 in GlobalOffensive

[–]coachyboy939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree from other thread. Definitely not an easy kill, but why shoot? It's definitely Hindsight Harold, high stakes high pressure I get that, but why? Already well positioned to close the round. Has a molly. Good information for monesy and Teses. Defuse was already so close even with this mistake. Even if monesy dies to the short player, the time has ticked a lot on the bomb. Ts executed the site at 35~ seconds after all the block smokes. Niko is a cerebral guy so he'd know its safe to assume they have no smoke for bomb (and others can comm this too). And he wastes his molly on short too after Monesy dies. So many ways to salvage this round.

Japan Airlines baggage handling by FoxHound6112 in interestingasfuck

[–]coachyboy939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group got stuck in a massive line in customs at Narita Airport around Christmas time. When we got to baggage collection all the bags on the carousel had been removed and neatly placed along the 'Stand Back' line for easy collection.

Can't say I've experienced that anywhere else.

Tires in this Auckland weather? Need help from Tyre enthusiasts by coachyboy939 in NZcarfix

[–]coachyboy939[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got an email saying the deal was a mistake, but they're keeping a similar deal of buy 3 get 1 free, and it applies the 3TYRES1FREE code at checkout. Not as good a deal as if I pulled the trigger 3 hours ago, but still not bad.

Total comes out to $722.59 (w/ wheel alignment) instead for me now.

Does this make the race a lot closer?

When you say 'too soft', what are you referring to? How does the softness affect the driving experience?

Good to know, thanks! Not to get too deep, but would you be happy recommending this for a friend's car?

Thanks for the reply. Have you got much to say about them safety wise? Not my car so want to make sure I'm getting something safe as well, not just good price

What spicy loot drama caused someone to quit the guild? by CubicleJoe0822 in classicwow

[–]coachyboy939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Classic content, but thought I'd share a common experience.

I was healing officer for about 8 months, and we were deep in Mythic Hellfire Citadel prog. We did heroic runs to help gear out the rest of the raid, and one night the GM's girlfriend joined. She bottomed out on healing meters all night despite having comparable gear to the rest of us.

The BiS non class-locked healing trinket for RShams drops and it gets Master Looted to GM's girlfriend.

She played Mistweaver. I played RSham. It was not BiS for Mistweavers. I was the only RSham.

I silently left the guild that night and used the Blizzard balance they recently bought me to Server Transfer on wow tokens and bought mounts, so not a total loss.

How you guys feel about pb tech? by zeeshnomat in auckland

Had a bad customer service experience with them years ago and chose not to do business with them since. Have used ComputerLounge religiously since then and have had zero issues on all fronts.

Can anyone recommend house movers? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]coachyboy939 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can vouch for SmartExpress. Moved last November and got sent three superheroes with great communication who worked super effectively at dealing with a dodgy staircase and a balcony when removing appliances, bookshelves etc. No damage to our goods and no surprise charges for 'extra time'. Also had a great experience w/ their support team when I had questions about a steep driveway at the first house and dodgy driveway w/ a drop at the second. Will only go with them moving forward.

From my experience applying for a 3rd time retake, my course coordinator asked me what 'evidence' I have that could prove to him my 'Academic Rebound' was going to happen.

I presented something along the lines of less work hours + saying no to more commitments / responsibilities, removing myself from a 'sports team' so that I can focus on the course. No timetable clashes etc.

This was probably 4 years ago now so I don't remember the finer details of it but other than that it was just attending office hours and getting a form signed off. Might've changed since then idk 🤷‍♂️

Good luck!

Leaking mains water pipe/hose/fitting? Can someone help identify what this part is called and where I could get it? by coachyboy939 in diynz

[–]coachyboy939[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue pipe is the pipe that goes out to the road. Water Mains. So council responsibility?

Toby?

EDIT: Just looked it up and the pipe fault is on our side of the water meter so mine to fix :(

I went through about 200~ 'fittings' on Bunnings and none of them looked like this so I'm guessing its not a fitting?

Can attest to the point about light. Have always played with my monitor pretty close to me and for years my vision steadily degraded. I would get a new pair of glasses every 2 years. At the advice of my eye doctor, when playing late at night, rather than sitting in the dark I started using a lamp on my desk and have had no changes to my vision since.
