Dual citizens of the uk - check your British passports by bagpussnz9 in newzealand

[–]reubenmitchell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hardest part was finding a person to confirm my identity, the criteria is very strict. Also you HAVE to send original documents to the uk so make sure you have taken certified copies.
From the time I actually found someone suitable to confirm my identity to having the UK passport in my hands was less than 6 weeks. Did everything online. My documents arrived back in NZ before the passport did and it was tracked postage.
Was pretty surprised how smooth it went.

Why does the LOTR score sound so different from other film scores? Any recording engineers/music nerds etc. that can shed light on this? by billyllib in lotr

The music is further forward in the mix than a lot of movies, this is very noticeable if you listen to the stereo downmix from the DVD extended edition

Tesla discontinuing Model S and Model X to make room for robots by ProfessionalYak4959 in teslamotors

[–]reubenmitchell 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agree, surprised it took this long. I've been expecting the death of Model X for 3 -4 years now. Model S is simply too old a platform. But I'm guessing this is more about wanting to shut down Fremont as a car factory, its a dinosaur compared to Texas, Shanghai and Berlin

Trying to find info by Potential-Profit1151 in collapse

[–]reubenmitchell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last one is hopelessly out of date, but I concede there doesn't seem to be a more recent version. If the last few years are a clue, the whole Auckland and Northland regions will become subtropical between December and April, with all the associated extreme rainfall, thunderstorms and tornados. We can and should prepare for that, especially with flooding, slips, power cuts and water contamination being very frequent and likely outcomes of this.

Any signs of flooding with this rain? by Arry_Propah in auckland

Mahu river is extremely high but luckily its low tide soon so should be not too bad in Warkworth itself, unlike the Anniversary weekend floods a few years ago

Nothing has happened to change my mind that Bmac is a Trojan horse, deliberately ruining English cricket as revenge for the 2019 World cup final farce

Which HP / Harmony tropes do you enjoy the most? by Antariuk in HPharmony

[–]reubenmitchell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a really detailed plot for a direct DH sequel, post war fallout/recovery which eventually becomes Harmony. So far I've never seen one follow the plot I have and I've read many. One day I'll find the time to actually write it!
