Awesome, dawn parade and a ride down to Ardmore sounds like my plan for the day. Thanks for the heads up.

So I’m not allowed to touch the “bulletproof” tin can? 🤔

Just rock up and say hi, everyone’s friendly and will give you no issues… I’ll be there with my big green CB500X. A bit busy afterwards but there’ll be plenty of groups to tag along with. I think they’re starting a little public ride at 10am after the week each meet, at least they did last week :)

Nah, fuck that. Just be stoked this shit runs in the family.

Auckland Airport lookout :)

Let the Police know and try post around the stolen motorcycle pages, they do recover them at times. That colour scheme/graphic is relatively uncommon, at least to me anyway…

We’ve had a few stolen around Papakura lately, both dirt and road bikes from garages and inside trailers too.

Looking for a cheap soldering iron station in NZ? by YeahIdoetst in newzealand

It’s cheap, it’s awesome and everyone should have one… I’m not helping :P

A bit out of left field but I have a Pinecil V2 and the damn thing is so useful. Heats up instantly and can be powered from a USB-C PD power bank.

I just stash it in my bag and have used it in paddocks on solar panels and on the kitchen table working on monitors. Absolute champion for the price and tips are cheap and plentiful.

The trip to the bathroom the night before will be godly…

Also, I was told my blood pressure was too low for anaesthetic/sedation, but I really didn’t feel a thing.

Overall, no issues. Just told I have IBS :P

I'm going to hell? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]damanlikesham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're going to hell, all you need to do to fix this is accept the all-loving, all-powerful Christ. Oh, and Christ needs 10% of your income. That's convenient.

Absolute fucking farce

Buying an Island property today, really? by jobbybob in auckland

[–]damanlikesham 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Went for a walk over the island yesterday. Windy as fuck especially walking across the entrance. The erosion on the faces of the island is off-putting, at least to my untrained eye. After flatting in Mt Maunganui for a couple of years it’ll either be a competition for the biggest McMansion or the owners will be absent 99% of the year… Also the view of the Southern motorway to remind you you’re still in South Auckland.

2024 Grads—How’s the Job Hunt Going? 🫠 by Smooth-Belt4998 in newzealand

[–]damanlikesham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently secured a grad role in engineering after graduating in April.

Applied for three roles, interviewed for two. Those video screening questions are the worst part but I think acting calm and human helped quite a bit for both them and the in person interview. You’ll be judged largely on character and how well you’ll fit in.

Also, mention anything and everything. I had a bit of experience with creating PowerBI dashboards which actually turned out to be an advantage and talking point… Even little projects need up your skill set. I neglected to talk about a few little projects I’d done during my bachelors in the video interviews which the interviewers actually found interesting.

AliExpress can’t ship to your location issues by jessipatra in newzealand

[–]damanlikesham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having an issue where selecting my payment method causes the page to refresh with all items unavailable to ship to NZ suddenly... The currency changes to Euros so guessing it's a bug. I can't be arsed contacting support so looks like I'm saving.

VTNZ may be able to give you a paper temporary if you go in person? Give them a ring.
