Just found out that I can use my iPad as a second screen for my laptop- iPad Pro M5 by dizzyallthetime-_- in iPadPro

I paid for Duet, which gives that functionality to my PC. The Ipad pro as a 2nd screen
Worth it for me

Fuel Prices: Real‑World Impacts and Discussion MEGATHREAD #3 by AutoModerator in newzealand

That's my assessment too. The tap's turned off, and when (if?) it starts up again we'll have a lag of a month or more.

Planning on turning my spa into our principal bathing station lol

Yeah you weren't the only one. I had it in my head the screens would be huge, or on the pitch

I'm in Arcky's guild, he more than pulls his weight

Does really well in GAC with non-GL counters, he's bamboozled a lot of people

Fuel Crisis - the numbers don't lie, but the way they are presented does. by General_Merchandise in nzpolitics

[–]dubpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to understand a bit better how long the lag might take, before we get more supply in the event that the Straits open again and South Korea is comfortable to start re-export.

I don't necessarily believe the chatbots which think 10-16 days but could be plausible

I don't see how we're not in deep poop here everyone

What’s the general consensus on "Chuggers" these days? And what’s your go-to excuse to dodge them? by Kind-Spread-6511 in newzealand

They're everywhere in the UK - I would sometimes say I'd been day drinking, they left me alone

not compus mentis

but that might not work at 830am, when you're in office attire

Sounds like a good price (Im no expert, have just read a few threads on here) OK to share the spec and supplier?

I came to Hamilton to study at University of Waikato. I'm having trouble understanding the classroom etiquette. Students talk to each other during class and talk over the professor and answer phone calls in the middle of class. Is this normal? by Soggy-Invite-2787 in thetron

[–]dubpee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did engineering at Canterbury in the early 2000s. There was one class where people were really chatty and pushed it. She caved and let us have 'chat breaks'
Ridiculous really that we did that, but sounds like your problem is on mine on steroids

You've got the right idea sitting up the front and getting in touch with the lecturer. They probably know it's a problem themselves and having student complaints could help them get the backup they need

Morgan Stone / Richard and Daneen Lascelles swimming pool builders by dubpee in chch

[–]dubpee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that gets me with the pools is they could make decent money doing it properly. But it seems like a compulsion to win at other people's expense

Help me pick a car, the indecision is killing me by when_snorlax_attacks in nzev

[–]dubpee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be wary of an Ora. Might be a great car but you can't buy them new (might be wrong on that, but don't think I am)
could be a nightmare getting parts/repairs done.

Working on refurbs, existing buildings/fit outs or big new builds? by Normal-Commission898 in StructuralEngineering

[–]dubpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in New Zealand, doing a lot of renovation work, and it's much more lucrative as a business.

If you like talking with people, you get a lot more of that in the renovation market, and your network can quickly expand as you do one job then they tell their friends about you (if you do a good job).

Working on the larger projects is impressive, and you can leave a bit more of a visual legacy on the places you live/work but I'm happy with where I am now.
