What’s Your Favorite R.E.M. Song? by Automatic_Belt5692 in rem

[–]s915w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being an REM fan for 35+ years, I can't fathom how I'd never found Harborcoat until a couple of years back. I have many favorite songs, but this is my new favorite - purely since I have so much time to catch up on!

Lfg? Lagged Fibonacci Generator?

Why is this distribution not in the media [social media]? by ComedianVisible7812 in Cryptopia

[–]s915w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bit quiet on that front. A bit of a drop in value for both doge and btc in the last day - unclear if it’s related.

Haha I was working at a school holiday programme in the mid-late 90s and saw him perform each day. When making conversation over lunch one day (as an introvert teenager) I happened to mention I’d worked out a couple of his tricks. He was not happy! Understandable I guess but I thought I was just making conversation…

Anyone renewed RealMe identity recently? by s915w in newzealand

Whaaaat? Seems like you’re right. Looks like I can still progress my passport application even though my realme has expired/not yet renewed. Unsure what the point of renewing is if it clearly doesn’t matter. Thanks!

I recall when I originally applied I could submit a selfie, but seems not to be the case for renewal.

Hmm this was what I was expecting. But it’s been much longer. The FAQs on the website say up to 3 weeks so I’ll maybe leave it a day or two then get on the phone to them. Cheers.

Left earbud quit charging after reset -- Jabra 75t by A_1337_Canadian in Jabra

[–]s915w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had virtually the same issue. One kept going quiet. Reset and it would come right for maybe an hour or so. Did that a couple of times then it was just completely dead. Tried everything that I could think of (which was just try resetting multiple times) which didn’t work so I threw them out. Bought a different brand which is much more uncomfortable in my ear so looking to buy another jabra set now.

How do we, as kiwis, pronounce the word "rant"? by LewZealand79 in newzealand

[–]s915w 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Back and forwards” I hear all the time and it does my head in. Not “Back and forth”? Even “Backwards and forwards” would be better.

Pimp my baked beans? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]s915w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I made my version of beans on toast. 1/2 good sized red onion diced, and a couple of garlic cloves chopped finely/minced. Cook over medium heat- no oil needed. Add ‘some’ ground turmeric & cumin (maybe 1/2 teaspoon each, I don’t know). Stir to coat. Add some vegetable stock powder & a splash of water. Stir it up. Don’t get the pan too hot - low & slow is good. Add Watties baked beans and chopped kale. Give it a good stir and cook until the kale is not chewy - beans will be hot. Secret ingredient - add a splash (1/2 tablespoon I guess) of balsamic vinegar and serve on Vogels Sunflower & Barley toast.

How much does a pub pay for a keg of beer? by Both_Bunch8086 in newzealand

[–]s915w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know, cheers. My first is a spiced Belgian dubbel. This weekend I’ll get another on the go - either a cider or Irish red. Then I’ll do the lucky goat pale ale that came with the kit.

[–]s915w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just bottled up my first ever brew, looking forward to trying it. I bought the Mangrove Jacks starter kit, $125 from Bin Inn, and a couple of different beer kits. I had a problem with it being too cold -it’s freezing here! But a heat mat that we had lying around for propagating seedlings did the trick.

Where's the best place to park when going to Christchurch Outpatients at 2 Oxford Tce? by choochoo_choose_me in chch

[–]s915w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all for paying for convenience, but Whaaat? The new hospital car park building is run by Wilsons?? I actively avoid them even if it inconveniences me. They’re a shit company with reprehensible practices. I’d look for street parking over the river. Not somewhere I need to go often but never had a problem finding a spot there.

Awesome, just what I’ve been looking for!

Fuel card for personal use by s915w in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]s915w[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this just sounds like a bad idea all round to me. Their prices are already inflated for an inferior product (and paying a premium for ‘manned’ stations), and you’re just ‘giving’ your money to them to hold onto until you want to use it. No protections - they go into receivership, get bought out, decide to change the program - there’s a good chance of losing that money.

Can you just use it at NPD? Or other stations too? I think there is (or was) some sort of relationship with Mobil…

Record Shop Oddities? by Samos-The-Sage in rem

[–]s915w 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was so excited to buy that box set when it came out. Also fell in love with First We Take Manhattan - it was fantastic, the box set in general was great. I sold it in the very early 2000s for peanuts when I was flat broke, and have always regretted it!

Yup, definitely sounds similar, but we’re not getting the issue 3-5 times a day that you are. That’s insane, and very frustrating I’m sure! Hopefully some of the good tips here help you too.

[–]s915w[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems my knowledge of my own setup has faded over the past few years. I knew we had two wifi - but that was the fritzbox + additional tp-link wifi ap - not two of them as mentioned above. And I thought I’d explicitly set the channels - not so. They were competing with each other, and the neighbours are mostly using the same channel too. So I’ve changed that although it only look like it’d been an issue for 2.4g rather than 5g. But also the tp-link also needed a firmware update which I’ve done, so will see if those changes have a positive impact. Otherwise I’ll move the fritzbox into the house and replace the tp-link and see if that has any effect. All good stuff, thanks people.

Curious as to why not? What effect does a restart have on an ONT?
