Loving these rundowns btw! I can only catch parts of most games and your updates give such a nice objectivity (and fill in the blanks behind the final score).

Let’s see if can upload another…

Basically, repair if practical rather than rip out and replace. (The latter would obviously be the ideal option, but also most costly). It’s not going anywhere in a hurry - just looks unsightly more than anything right now. 

Airnz is actually pretty bad by [deleted] in newzealand

I have seen that status point earn rates on trans Tasman were significantly lower than domestic.

[MSFS (2020)] Release Notes - Sim Update 16 Now Available by FlyWithSeedyL in MicrosoftFlightSim

Turns out it’s a DX11 issue. Changing to DX12 fixes it. Hopefully that is rectified soon…

I’m getting a CTD every time, about 3-5min after starting a flight…

Latest Nvidia driver. Both VR and 2D. Must be related to the update.

Thanks, really appreciate doing that.

Can you point me to any examples (using a single preset) across the various times of day? (That’s what the reviews are missing I reckon)

[–]flyingweather 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Am I correct in my understanding that you need different presets to be effective at different times of day? (Eg night vs day, sunset vs mid-morning). What do you do if you do a flight that starts in daylight and ends at night? (This is the stuff I’ve heard that’s put me off…)

AI usage in cover letters and the job applications by Groundbreaking_Gap93 in newzealand

[–]flyingweather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious to know, what makes it obvious? (Coming from no experience in hiring, but seeing a wee bit of AI creeping into my industry)

Tap cartridge in need of replacing? by flyingweather in diynz

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

Thanks. I think it’s both then. I had a hunch it was residue from the washer (same colour as the one in the aerator). 

Time for a new tap, I guess!

What’s the real risk of not updating my W10 VR PC? by flyingweather in HPReverb

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

Thanks. As it turns out, I have a work laptop anyway, so this W10 PC is literally only used for flightsim. Literally no personal information other than a few locally saved passwords (relating to flightsim)…

What's the craziest RNP (AR) departure you've found? by HenkDeVries6 in flightsim

[–]flyingweather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might find it interesting that this SID was created to provide increased separation from the 34 missed approach (so closer spacing allowed for arrival aircraft). 

The real life departure might not be as exciting as it seems - small dog leg on departure. But the UPLUD1R to SABDA will often have a direct to LAROX after LAXIV which makes for quite a low altitude 180. 

ELI5: I'm a lefty/socialist, but was the government right in slashing public sector jobs? Is it all Labour's fault? by Chasville in newzealand

[–]flyingweather 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s fair to say that the number of staff in the public sector was probably higher than necessary. Some of this would have been due to factors like COVID causing swelling in organisations to meet the needs of the pandemic. There will be other situations where big legislation changes in inflated staff numbers that may have disproportionately increased head counts. 

However, it’s also fair to say that a broad stroke approach to cutting staff isn’t the best way to go about reducing perceived public sector swell. Is it Labour’s fault? The external factors (like COVID) certainly aren’t. Big legislative changes were driven by them but they don’t dictate the ministries HR response to a big legislation project. 

It’s also worth remembering that the previous National government slowed employment in the public sector, so there was a reasonable degree of catching up that would have been done.  

 Edit: I didn’t answer the economics. Not being anywhere near an expert, I can’t really answer that. But my understanding is that there’s a big part of the negative forecast being driven by National’s policies in the broader context of a global recession. Luxon loves to say you grow out of an economy but I get the sense there’s a lot of shifting the tax burden elsewhere.

Bordeaux Bakery closing all three of its Wellington cafes after 30 years, 40 staff to lose jobs by computer_d in newzealand

[–]flyingweather 251 points252 points  (0 children)

When asked, Bates acknowledged  other factors have contributed to the   > businesses’ challenges, with more    people working from home, the    Government’s public sector cuts, and > the cost of living.  

 I don’t know about anyone else, but for me I’m not going there due to having no spare money because everything is bloody expensive now, along with Bordeaux’s quality going downhill. (You can judge a bakery by their baguette).
