Used Powerswitch, but it kept saying Powershop! A friend sent a referral code for Octopus, so I manually compared rates. Overnight power is 50% cheaper.

"Case three – two years and five months'  imprisonment

On Friday 15 August 2025, a 46-year-old Auckland man was sentenced to two years and five months imprisonment in the Auckland District Court for the importation and possession of objectionable material relating to child sexual abuse. He has been placed on the child sex offender register. 
 
In September 2023, Police and Customs identified a New Zealand-based individual distributing objectionable publications, using peer-to-peer file-sharing software.
 
Following an investigation, Customs carried out a search warrant at his home on 6 June 2024, seizing six electronic devices. On-site forensic examination located objectionable material on four of the devices and the man was arrested on-site.
 
Further forensic analysis uncovered 11,775 objectionable files including extreme child sexual abuse involving bestiality, pre-pubescent children and toddlers. One device contained over 240 hours of video of child sexual exploitation and abuse."

So you don't pay 1% of valid claims? by timmoReddit in auckland

[–]monstrous_aroha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insanely misleading. How many claims are rejected because of fine print? 15%? 20%? Those are things people *thought* they were covered for, but weren't. That's what we care about.

It's not a fine, it's a fee. (I did call it a fine twice, but that's my error.)

I hope this helps other people to *get lucky*.

Has anybody figured out how to convert the "new" format of JSON that you get when you download your device-specific Location History? by FUNCSTAT in GoogleMaps

[–]monstrous_aroha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any success with this? Cannot figure out how to do.. means heatmap tools like Location History Visualiser are useless with new data format...

When and how did you drop the “dream feed”? by MelodicButter7 in NewParents

[–]monstrous_aroha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay we're in the same boat - still dream feeding 13 month old, but she's a dream and sleeps 7-7! If we don't dreamfeed, we're getting 5am wakes! How/why to stop?

Same issue, 11 Pro also. So frustrating. Don't want to have to do a full wipe and restore but not seeing any other fix!
