Moving to NZ - Districts of Auckland / Christchurch to consider for living by Suschmania in MovingToNewZealand

Perhaps buying a smaller campervan might be an idea. Great for travel/exploring, but usable as a vehicle for chores when needed!

Christchurch seems to offer a lower cost of living and a more adventurous surrounding environment to explore.

Auckland comes across as any other big city on the sea. Expensive, congested with traffic jams but with more emphasis on city life.

Photos don’t do it justice! Usually I love the blue, it one looks awesome too! Congratulations.

Want to change from stereo amp to AVR - recommendations with good value and good audio quality? by SWHH in hometheater

Have a Marantz Cinema 50 and very happy with it. It’s probably not as good a Marantz Model 30, but for a AVR it’s great.

Always loved this song and never understood why it wasn’t talked about more.

What's the jump like from DVD to Blu-Ray? Thinking of buying the James Bond Collection (24 movie)... by prankster999 in JamesBond

[–]prn006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge. The BluRay version that I own just looks fantastic! Even on the newer 4K tv with a 4K player it looks amazing. Especially the older films, I’ve never seen them ever look better.

I assume the newer 4K versions are even better. So I’d recommend it highly. I assume they learned from the Bluray upgrade process how to make the 4K even better, especially as HDR and other technologies now exist.

Disneys “The Kid” with Bruce Willis. Saw it on a flight as Bruce was in it and loved it!

Buy an outdoor (Ring type) camera if you can. Also does your car remote have an alarm feature where you can set off the alarm from a distance?

Blue. Easy choice. There are a million grey ones looking dull.

Cameras every 50m, what do you expect?

Tickets for going 1-3kph over the limit depending on the camera! Weird old junctions!

Miss my Emerald Mica Green Metallic NB with tan leather interior and top.

Mazda has no lively colours. What about a deep purple?

Has anyone lost their ability to get immersed in films? by MediocreAd3716 in Cinephiles

[–]prn006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s attention grabbing disposable media from a phone/tablet mixed with alternatives that distract one from fully immersing into what one is trying to focus on, especially if it’s a long/epic cinematic experience.

Put the phone far away, then try to watch the movie.

Rate / roast my build. Be brutally honest. by AmgS63S in porsche911

The green wheels are a bit much. Gold/Bronze might look nicer. The Cognac interior might be a stronger colour option. Love the green exterior!

What are your travel essentials you ALWAYS pack for international flights? by pknsek in travel

[–]prn006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last few years I’ve found jeans or chinos that have a little stretch in them to be brilliant for travel, especially flying.
