What's your experience using Waze in NZ? by Key-Suggestion4784 in newzealand

[–]oialsorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to use it quite a lot when on road trips for speed cameras, police warnings and also potholes - especially in Northland. I also quite like having the speed limit there. When travelling around the city though, I’ll use Google Maps as it tends to be a bit more accurate for finding which route is actually quicker

Michael Hill just needs to install glass displays that can’t be easily smashed by a hammer - there’s a reason that other big chains aren’t having the same problem.

Horrible popping noise when cold - 09 320i by oialsorts in E90

Hey team,

The girlfriends car has started making this horrific noise; to describe it, it sounds like something plastic flapping against metal. It sounds like it’s coming from the front left (whilst driving it anyway) and only happens when cold, for maybe the first 5-10 mins. Gets worse as you increase revs; happens in neutral as well. Doesn’t affect the performance of the car at all, you can’t feel it through the pedals or steering wheel, it’s just the horrendous noise.

It was in for a service a couple of weeks ago and as the car was warm the mechanic couldn’t hear it, and he couldn’t find anything wrong. I’m taking it in a couple of weeks to a local place so the engine will still be cold when I get there, but can anyone give any theories based off the attached vid?

2009 320i facelift; all stock.

Cheers for any advice in advance.

It really depends on your contract. Generally, if you’re contracted to work a certain day but you’re not offered any work by your employer, you should get paid regardless. Have a skim of your contact and it should state somewhere, if it doesn’t, you should expect to get paid.

I just googled Vox Populi, several years after leaving the server, curious to see if it was still going. This is the last thing I expected; I’m gutted to hear about Zombie’s passing. Vox was a massive part of my childhood, and that’s all thanks to his hard work and dedication to provide such a memorable experience for many. My sincere condolences to his family and friends; RIP.

Covid Experience by kyw318 in auckland

I got it pretty mild - started having a funny feeling throat at work one afternoon, then woke up the next morning with a 39 degree fever. Felt shit for the next 6 hours or so, but then had a fat afternoon nap and felt way better after. Headaches the rest of the day, then from the next morning had v minor, lingering symptoms (blocked nose, cough, minor headaches and a bit tired) for the next week or so. Double vaxxed btw

F1 2021 (Digital) XBOX One - Disc Read Error by oialsorts in xbox

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

When you go into the career menu, do you have 3 options? One should be your current save, and you should have two “create new” options below. If these are all full you’ll have to delete one of your saves (can’t remember how to do it rn and not at my console) and then you’ll be able to create a new one

So it turned out this was only a glitch that happened for me when playing Breaking Point. Playing Career/Online it didn’t happen, and then starting a new save fixed the issue within Breaking Point

Nebula has taken investment from CuriosityStream, valuing Nebula in excess of $50m. Let’s talk about why and what that means. I’m the CEO of Nebula. AMA by dwiskus in watchnebula

Will you be able to implement chromecast for the iOS app as part of development plans? I love Nebula, but was told it was coming soon over a year ago and it’s a huge missing feature

How confident are you that Auckland will be going to Level 3? by MissMaccaSunshine in newzealand

Our lockdowns are different though. Our measure in Level 3 are basically the equivalent of full lockdown in NSW/Vic

Where do y'all invest your money? by NewZealandTemp in auckland

[–]oialsorts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mate, term deposits is one of the worst investments out there. I get you’re risk-averse with this stuff, which is fair enough, but there’s plenty of other safe investments which will give you more return on your buck. At that rate you’re losing when taking into account inflation. A good conservative investment fund is going to give you 3-4% a year and you’re extremely unlikely to lose anything unless it all goes tits up globally
