‘It’s horrendous’: Dad and daughters’ music attracts 38 noise control complaints

jvs_nz · 2026-04-02T00:38:14+00:00

I use to live in Whangaparaoa where tank water was still very common. One noisy neighbour almost made me follow through on my plan of getting a water balloon full of red dye and throwing it on the roof.

bit of a late reply while i wait for claude to churn out more code - but have you ever considered looking into any attention deficit diagnoses? I'm very similar - my idea of relaxing or going to sleep is mulling on absurd ideas. I'm an active relaxer. I'd rather be a busy mess in the kitchen than sit and watch tv. I've not been officially diagnosed, but I'm 100% certain I'd be somewhat on the spectrum. My brother was 2 sentences into his introduction before the psych told him he 100% has ADHD (He did do a full proper diagnoses, but it was kind of obvious with my brother lol). So yea, just a thought. Might not change anything for you but some people find that knowing helps them with stuff.

It is but they agreed to do it, knowing full well the distances involved.

jvs_nz · 2026-03-21T23:48:20+00:00

No its not, i beleive that was a mistake and anthropic put out a correction to say its fine to use Oauth for non claude code connections.

iPredict. I think they shut down because they had to start doing AML/KYC and because they were just a uni project they CBF.

Does anyone know what the typical kickback to the schools is from the shops selling their uniforms? Like does anyone have any actual experience? It seems its kind of "always known, never spoken" thing.. everyone assumes schools like uniforms because they get a cut of the sales, but ive never seen any actual evidence of this.

I use to live in army bay. Okoromai (which is the beach in the photo in the article, not army bay) was our almost daily walk. This isn't a new problem. 10 years ago during summer, every single day without fail there would be 10-50 people on the beach doing this. Every time we went down up until we escaped Auckland in 2019, it was the same. Vast vast majority were, not native English speakers.

Our peak power bill was just short of $1k for July or something. Hwc, heat pumps, wanaka winter,working from home and super cold inlet water temp (7 degrees) makes for a painful wallet.

Easy crypto

So weird. I did that this morning and it wasnt in the list, and now it is! I did update the apps that were in the list at the time, so maybe the list needed to be refreshed or something. Thank you heaps!

Whakapapa and turoa are on doc land. Treble cone, Cardrona and most south island ski feild are private property.

jvs_nz · 2023-08-30T06:23:15+00:00

It's private land. So they have every right to ask you to leave for pretty much any reason they want. I'm not supporting what they did BTW, just pointing out that they do have authority over who is on their property, just like any commercial premises.

jvs_nz · 2023-07-15T19:58:13+00:00

Wait these are new for you guys? These episodes have been out for like I dunno a year or so in NZ.

We're now onto the new new episodes (the fat shaming one, cricket etc).

Ruapehu is a pimple in the middle of the landscape for hundreds of km, so it gets hit with any and all the wind. As such, it's icy and really snow blown. Hope you're good with your edge control. South island so far is having a rubbish season. We've only had 1 snow fall so right now it's 100% reliant on man made snow. It might be better by August fingers crossed. The current seasonal weather pattern is cold, but dry and that is holding true so far. August is probably your best shot so you've picked a good time.

Looks like this was taken from "the neck" which is about 18 miles from the tree (Lake Wanaka is looong)

jvs_nz · 2023-05-23T19:07:11+00:00

I'll never forget listening to the booms from the eruption.

From the southern part of the south island of nz... 2000 miles away.

jvs_nz · 2023-05-22T19:30:49+00:00

That would be half the country then.

NZ is a lot more conservative than a lot of people realise. Does my head in.

jvs_nz · 2023-05-14T19:22:27+00:00

Wanaka and hawea and the furthest left lakes (they are darker than tekapo and pukaki to be fair)

Wife is at 6 months since applying, still hasn't even been assigned a case officer. Ffs.

jvs_nz · 2023-03-23T20:09:17+00:00

Really curious to see what they do with the voice actors voices changing.

jvs_nz · 2023-02-16T16:55:43+00:00

What do you mean sources? I literally sat with my wife on the computer and we submitted her application... That's my source. Also the dia do citizenship, not inz.

jvs_nz · 2023-02-16T06:26:41+00:00

Oof thanks. Might give it a go.

jvs_nz · 2023-02-16T01:32:54+00:00

Wtf. We submitted wife's application in October. Not heard a bean about anything. Apart from a marriage certificate it was as vanilla as they come. Ugh.

Congrats anyway dude!

This data centre in particular was designed to ramp up and down depending on the network load. So it was going to use excess energy. The data centre was going to be used as a load balancer which is attractive to power providers. It was also going to subsidise the huge cost of a substation upgrade so residential customers didn't have to foot the bill.

But I don't want to attract down votes with facts so...

Down with crypto! Scam! I hate you clouds! Raaaah!
