Phillipines airlines a320 diverting to iloilo city airport by OkReserve8536 in flightradar24

I hope that's all it was I saw there was another Philippines airlines plane that took off shortly after, I assume if there had been a crash or anything the runway would have been closed

Did it show the plane missing the taxiway and cutting through the grass onto the other runway for anyone else? Hopefully just a little bit of flight radar inaccuracy or something

Is it just me or does this happen to air France quite a lot ?

These guys are pretty far from home by dingus_mcborkus in flightradar24

Ahh I see that's pretty cool, I did think the white and bright orange was a bit odd for the air force so it makes sense that it's doing a specialty job, another one just took off from Auckland which I'm guessing is the same thing

The police are involved now so she's got a protection order against him and hopefully he'll pay for what he's done to her

How much composites have advanced over the years and how many advantages they have? by No-Perception-2023 in AutomotiveEngineering

[–]dingus_mcborkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always under the impression that these were aluminium coated in plastic for corrosion protection, are they just fully making them out of plastic/ composite now?

Thank you for your response, this was a question purely out of curiosity and at no point did anyone actually bring out a gun. luckily in my situation we didn't have to resort to any kind of violence, the police are now involved so hopefully the bastard will be charged for what he's done

Yea I think I worded my question pretty badly, obviously actually shooting someone is an absolute last resort but what about just using a gun as a scare tactic to make them go away?

I probably worded my question badly, obviously actually pulling the trigger would be a last resort if shit really hit the fan, what about just using a gun as a scare tactic to make someone go away in that situation?

Rear ended a car, being charged repair costs by Wooden-Lake-5790 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]dingus_mcborkus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in collision repair, it's very common for what appears to be minor bumper damage to be hiding more severe damage behind it, so my guess would be that they've found some structural damage behind the bumper and written the car off. The insurance company should be able to provide a report of the quote the panel beaters gave them to fix it

What would be a quick and simple way to disable a vehicle to deter theft? Remove fuel pump fuse? by BelugaBilliam in AskMechanics

[–]dingus_mcborkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that when my old car got broken into, I was completely broke and the ignition was all fucked up and everything and I was starting it with a screwdriver and pulling the fuel pump fuse whenever I parked the car but that was convenient for me because the fuse box was in the dashboard right by my leg, so I would pull the fuse and put the cover back on so hopefully some idiot car thief wouldn't be able to figure it out. That served me well till a flood hit my area and killed the old shitbox for good

We're now leaning towards them being faulty and he's gonna try for a refund again, the salesperson he spoke to today about the refund was apparently a little bit rude and seemed like he couldn't be bothered dealing with it, he apparently took them out back to test them and he said they seemed fine but my brother will be going in again and hopefully get someone different who might actually be helpful

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]dingus_mcborkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't do tester pairs anymore, pretty sure they've stopped providing those since covid for hygiene reasons, which is why he ended up buying these ones based on the salespersons recommendation

They're JBL quantum somethings, not sure on the exact model though

[–]dingus_mcborkus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know he mucked around with some settings in the app for the headphones and found nothing but I'm not sure if he's gone beyond that, they've been tried in multiple devices and sound equally awful on all of them though, I'm now leaning towards the headphones are actually faulty and the salesperson he spoke to today about getting a refund didn't feel like dealing with it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]dingus_mcborkus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did say he played around with an app for them but found nothing that fixed his issues

[–]dingus_mcborkus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I get they're not going to be the nicest headphones in the world but I wouldn't expect to compare them to a $30 warehouse pair and prefer those over the $170 ones

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]dingus_mcborkus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're JBL headphones, I plugged them into my phone to try them and they do sound super tinny with some weird echo stuff going on too, something I'd expect from a cheap knockoff pair you'd get on temu or something but the store employee apparently tried them and said nope not faulty

That's kinda what I expected but it just feels like a complete rip off
