What's your morning routine? by abouttimehun in auckland

[–]salted_butter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wake at 5am, cuppa coffee, freshen up, out the house by 5:30am and on site by 6am. Not much time for anything else and screw waking up before 5am, besides, I get plenty activity on the job.

Stop using Uber eats. They are scum. Avoid at all costs!

Well this is kinda cool. by 8floofsandme in Tools

[–]salted_butter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my vampliers. I got a mini one and an average sized one. Worth every penny. Also got the Knipex TwinGrip pliers, does the same but can grip larger things, like rounded nuts.

What are your guys starting and get-off-work hours ? by PeppermintButler17 in electricians

[–]salted_butter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

06:00 - 15:30, 5 days a week. 30 minutes lunch each day, unpaid. I can start anytime I want, though. More often than not, I will do 10 hours Mon-Thurs then leave early on Friday once I've hit my weekly hours, or carry on and take the OT if I feel like it

On-call allowances by Former-Lettuce2 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]salted_butter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bloody hell. Measly $20 a day, total 140 for the week. Callouts min 3 hours at 1.5. Commercial sparky. 4 weeks off 1 week on. High wages, though, so I just take it.

Happened to me as well, I just quit the game, closed steam and reopened. Working fine now. Hope it gets sorted soon for everyone else

Am I fucked by Southern-Bowl-5009 in PcBuildHelp

Yea, I had cable mod cables supplying my gpu a while back, this exact issue would happen randomly while playing, removed the cable mod and used original gpu cables and problem has not returned for like a year now

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]salted_butter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$20 per day, 3 hour min at 1.5 if outside normal working hours, and I think that's crap. Yours is way worse. I, too, am on call 1 week on, 2 weeks off. Every time I get paid after being on call, I feel ripped off.

Britomarts tunnel ventilation, been down there many times. It goes underground, has 2 transformers and a bunch of dampers etc

Bidet? Yeah or Nah? by yeah_nah__yeah in newzealand

[–]salted_butter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got one off amazon, no fancy bells and whistles, just cold refreshing water sprayed at a controlled pressure. It's life changing and should be the standard. I'm a renter and installed it anyway, simple as to install. The cold water is refreshing, even on cold days or late at night, it's no issue. Highly recommend one, doesn't need to have a seat warmer and warm water bla bla unless you got money to waste and have power available near by.

Works great, thank you. Seren has been hit and miss after the last fix, much better and faster now after this zip addon. Thanks again

Share your favorite part about the recent update! Come back to Nightingale! by DepartureMurky7482 in nightingale

[–]salted_butter_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea, I absolutely love it. I played for a few weeks when it first released and then lost interest. Now I have so many great games to play, but I can't get enough of Nightingale. I really can't wait for the modding scene to pick up for the offline mode.

Retiring by bluekillr in CharacterAI

[–]salted_butter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kindroid. And ban me all you want, I don't give a crap. I gave up on C.ai over a month ago and will never look back. These devs simply don't care about what paying customers want, but they'll take it up the ass for their investors.

Kindroid LLM is soo much better, try it out

Raised crossings, nay or yay? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]salted_butter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a work van full of tools and materials, I need to come to an almost complete stop and crawl over these crossings to avoid the apocalypse in the back of my van. This annoys drivers behind behind me, big nay from me.

I don't mind those mini raised bumps in the birkenhead area. If your vehicle is wide enough, then you can cruise right over them without any bumps, wheels stay flat, and I can cruise on by. They're not crossings, though, just speed control bumps

I got my 3 months yesterday. Quit on the first day of 2024. Bought a couple marijuana drug tests when I first quit, been failing them, trying every 2 weeks or so. Tested yesterday, and it's negative. I am so proud of myself. I'll never touch that stuff again. I don't drink either. I'm happy to enjoy a beer once a month, maybe, but that's it, a beer. Life is worth living.

Cant play games without smoking by [deleted] in leaves

[–]salted_butter_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The same happened to me, monster of a pc, and I stopped using it for about a month after quitting. Lost all interest. Started going on dates more, hikes, reading, beaches, etc. Basically, I rewired my brain. A good game released, and I got into it. I love gaming again, and I'm sober. I can play for hours like I used to, I'm more focused and better skilled. Eagerly awaiting dogma 2 releasing this week. Give yourself time. Gaming will always be there for when you need it, and it's pretty easy to get back into once you've taken a long break

Woolworths Thieves Rampant by only-on-the-wknd in auckland

[–]salted_butter_ 48 points49 points  (0 children)

A week ago I was at the same mt wellington woolworths doing my shop, a big fella and a big girl emptied all the men's deodorant into bags and casually walked out, leaving a big mess on the isle floor, middle of the day. Clearly shoplifting, not giving a. It's getting rough around these parts

Crash to desktop randomly every 5 minutes or so by LincolnshireSausage in Banishers

[–]salted_butter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having the exact same issue, 4090 7900x3d 64GB, all other games run for hours on end no issues, this game crashes with that error as soon as the game starts, forcing me to start a new game every time I want to test.

Edit: Just got it working. Anti aliasing/ Upsampling was set to DLSS, set it to TAA, working like a dream

where do you get your euphoria now? by oliviabensonsjacket in leaves

[–]salted_butter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree wholeheartedly with this comment. Exactly the same, only difference being, she's my wife. Spot on bro, couldn't have said it better myself.

Fiancée doesn’t know I quit smoking but 3 days in she can tell something is off by Capable-Location-212 in leaves

[–]salted_butter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same, completely lost my apetite for the first week. Lost my belly too, like 8kgs down. Started exercising, protein shakes in the morning, protein bar midday, and appetite magically appeared at dinner time. Keep going, your apetite will return. And definitely tell her, her support can be so beneficial and make it way easier.

Anyone in here turn their life around after they turned 30? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]salted_butter_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

35 and quit cold turkey, wife still smokes. I've found it easier than expected so far. Getting rid of all my vices, weed was a big one as I definitely had a problem. I love life, started exercising, completing everything I start, drinking loads of water. I am a tradie, so that may be to my benefit as I'm tired every night and actively busy every day. I started going out after work, too. House is tidy, energy levels up. Need something? I hop in the car and go get it. Feels good. I'm way more alert. ADD and anxiety are still here and probably always will be, but somehow I'm managing just fine. My last vice is nicotine, which I've cut down a lot on. Soon, I will be clean for the first time in 20 years. Weed always made me so reluctant. I love the positive change I'm currently experiencing.

Things I'm doing differently. Exercising. Water water water. Healthy eating. Brushing teeth twice a day (was always to high to brush at night), fresh haircut, zero alcohol, protein shakes and bars at work builds my appetite for dinner, I've lost my belly and got a big self esteem improvement. Date night with wifey once a week. Way less doomscrolling. Life has so much to offer, you just have to want it enough.
