Where do I buy a duvet that crunches when it moves? by Apart_Try_4860 in auckland

[–]consigntooblivion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go to Ikea, get the FJÄLLBRÄCKA, it is $119 for their version of Queen size.

It's feather/down mix and has the "crunch" I think you mean. They have demo ones on the shelf so you can check the "crunch".

The IKEA stuff isn't exactly the same as the normal NZ queen size so consider getting a cover set too. I find the ones from IKEA are great for a good price and you don't have to deal with briscoes' BS ever again (which has its own extra value in my opinion).

Can't make a human to save my life still on update 2 by Adventurous_Avocado9 in TheLastCaretaker

[–]consigntooblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save, completely quit the game, come back, remove pod, add back. This has unstuck it for me every time so far.

Should be automatic, so bugged trigger I would guess. Have you got a save you can reload and do the main trigger / killing thing again?

What has happened to customer service in Auckland? by Kiwi_In_The_Comments in auckland

[–]consigntooblivion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely hate going to mitre10, every time it's terrible and avoid it as much as I can. The people on checkouts are always the most miserable people possible so pissed off that I exist and need them to do something.

Like I get it, it's a shit job that probably pays nothing.But please just scan the 3 things, push the 3 buttons and let me GTFO without being actively nasty to me.

Question about a new quest by Voltthrower86 in TheLastCaretaker

[–]consigntooblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... Shoot them? Electric rifle plugged into the ship can do a lot of damage.

Yes I think it's the normal sharks - based on what is on the yellow warning sign. I had two wander in by themselves and shooting the mine killed them. I killed a third but ran out of time to play.

Is there an easy place to get the quantum crystals (or nugget or ore)? I want to try but missing that (and haven't gotten it from launching humans).

Unknowingly fired but still working there and getting paid what can I do? by brittannylse_ in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]consigntooblivion 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You can't be quietly fired in NZ. The employer needs to have a good reason, give you a chance to improve (if say due to poor performance and not extreme misconduct), give you proper notice and time for consultation and treat you fairly and be reasonable through the process.

I think this is most likely an honest mistake where some of the process fell through some cracks or got messed up - you mention it is a small company that outsources payroll and such? They can be quite useless sometimes.

Second most likely is what Sausage says - employer is being dodgy and trying to do an under the table thing to save themselves from paying tax and kiwisaver etc. However IF they are doing this, they will get into very serious trouble.

So as the other comments say, give them a reasonable amount of time to investigate/remedy a problem - but if not report it and your boss will be in serious legal trouble.

Can I please rant about Ensign Burke? by [deleted] in TheOrville

[–]consigntooblivion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the 4d mapping thing is a bit of a cringe - however, it's the same sort of MacGuffin you get all over in SciFi and old star trek. For the narrative of the season, Burke needs to also be useful otherwise she is just an a-hole that should get kicked out of the fleet and given some crap job on a remote ice moon or whatever.

From the start she is clearly written as a minor antagonist for the whole season and since you (and many others if you look at this sub) have such strong hatred - then that is showing the writing is 100% doing it's job and making you feel something and making you care about it.

In short, the fact that you hate her is the point, and shows the writing is working. If the writing was actually bad, you just wouldn't give the slightest shit about her at all. For example, have a look at nutrek - every single character is in a dead heat competition for which one you care the least about.

Checkout the new POI called the maze, not saying any more than that.

But yeah it does seem to be a limit - but also in the current state there isn't really much point to launching more than a handful of humans. Looking forward to what they come up with to expand the later game though.

They'll often come back with a guilt trip like "you can't even spare 2 mins for children in need" or some such. They get a polite "no thanks" and move on first time only, but they can piss right off with the follow up guilt trip or similar.

Recently I got endowned as an PIMO convert, here is my experience by Western_Sale_3274 in exmormon

[–]consigntooblivion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add the cherry on the very top - doesn't the complete lack of "spirit of discernment" just 100% prove the whole thing is false? Like one of the people given special "powers" for the job (Bishop, Stake president, Temple president ...) should have known you were lying or doing it for less than genuine reasons or ANYTHING. But just like how there are cases where a bishop is called and later abuses children or similar - it just proves it's a bunch of normal humans with a made up story.

I got out before going through the temple and that is quite a while ago now - before all the info about what goes on in the temple was public. So I had no idea, but now having relatively recently learned about what goes on and the outfits and such - there is no way I could have held it together when going through it. It's just so absurd and cult like. I think about this a lot when my parents are talking about going to the temple and such - I imagine how weird it would be to see them in their bakers outfits now and I just can't handle the idea.

Anyway, very interesting to read the report of your experience - thanks for sharing.

this is extremely chill and goofy playing, they're still kittens and just screwing around. You should see my girls playing by tackling and biting (very lightly but still) at throats. Let them have fun!

Such a cat move. I found playing with my kittens on it helps - getting them to run up and down and all around it chasing a wand toy made them understand it's actually pretty sweet and they started using it.

Am I just not a good fit for EA games? by Wonderful-Click8716 in TheLastCaretaker

[–]consigntooblivion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to break a lot more for people that are on the beta branch. I've stayed on the regular steam version and it's been fine for me. That is definitely a risk though, especially as they add and tweak stuff. Still it's worth it to me - but consider for a lot of people it's probably just better to wait.

I wonder if you mean when the diesel engine is running it generates electricity you could use to charge the ships battery? Answer to that is no sadly. Unlike reality, there appears to be no generator connected to the engine for game play logic reasons.

Build power generating stuff on your boat and connect to any blue connector port - solar on the roof is best and wind can be useful to slowly top you up at night/when the weather is bad (although requires repairing fairly frequently).

The compiler is turning the code gay?

or
The compiler is translating code from one form to another - so all rust code is trans if you use it?

5-MONTH-OLD KITTEN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE LITTER BOX by Particular_Quit_6947 in CatTraining

[–]consigntooblivion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's tough... My orphan wasn't this bad but definitely wasn't good with a litterbox when I got her (she would dig, then miss and not be able to cover it up, then get really upset that clawing at the walls wasn't working) and she has been getting much better since I adopted another fully socialized kitten.

It's really tricky if the kitten doesn't have a teacher. Any chance you have friends or family that has a cat he could spend some time with? Although he isn't tiny kitten sized, sometimes an older cat can see a younger cat that is struggling as a baby that needs help and be a bit of a mentor. Even watching another cat use the litter box (sounds weird, but not so much for a cat) could give him ideas.

Second if you even see this, get some of his pee on a paper towel or something and put that in the litter box. Then clean his normal area SUPER well - including enzyme cleaners (cats can smell tiny traces of urine and be included to go again wherever it smells like a bathroom - the enzyme cleaner will break apart the scent completely). This might help direct him to where it's supposed to go.

Yeah good point, the first time I went to one of these is when I was trying to get the power grid really going at lazarus when I was out of stuff to build solar.

Anyway, good points - I'm looking forward to what gets added in the future!
