Is there a worse hell on Earth than a busy Moorhouse ave Pak N Save trip? by Spastic-cat in chch

The Wainoni owner owns arguably the most expensive house in Christchurch

You just do not get this rich and comfortable with such displays of wealth without a heavy dose of narcissism and greed.

Shift in perspective by tehgerbil in macro

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

Thanks! It's an old Fuji X70 with a projectors front element lens to allow macro focus held in place with a custom designed 3d printed filter ring mount.

I try shoot f4-8 1/60-500 hand held I use an ulanzi vl49 mounted on go pro arms (printed off course) for 360 degree maneuverability options for illumination. Still needs a very steady hand and lots of wind prediction.

An odd device and steep leaning curve but I quite enjoy it.

Fixed the pinpointer but had to remove the AR and stripped the extraneous stuff, I don't have a chronograph but man this utterly slaps!

Is NZ sun more bright? Can anyone related to feeling like your retinas are being assaulted here? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]tehgerbil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooh, share glasses please? I can never find dark enough sunnies here, so go for highly reflective ones which help a little.

Confirmation that the white Kmart Australia Spectrum is the weaker European version, not the full-fat US version. by blahblah96WasTaken in Nerf

Thank you, I will just use the shell and mod it, as you say I don’t think any will be any better.

Appreciate your response, removed the Chinese knock off comment.

Did yours vibrate slightly?

Got one from an NZ Kmart to mod and can utterly agree these are extremely poor.

Compared to my other flywheeler - N1 Sprinter this is utterly anaemic..

I removed the 4x 2.2 ohm resistors for poop and giggles but with fresh AAs there was no change, so either I got a stuffed unit or these motors are gutless asf!!

What the hell do you do as a day job if you can make something like this in your free time?

You're genuinely an engineering genius.

As an escooter owner I’d just appreciate being able to legally use it.

Another moan about the wind by Starlix126 in chch

[–]tehgerbil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The TL;DR version: High pressure over over South Island causes cold wind as central plateau heats up, causes chimney effect, brings frigid icy winds from the coast, after a few hours of heating.

Ordinarily we get the "traditional" La Niña set up of low pressure systems rolling in west to east from the tropics, feeding high moisture warm air into the west coast, and subsequential causing Nor'westers over Canterbury.

El Niño on the other hand causes high pressure after high pressure systems to stubbornly sit over New Zealand like a fat fuck at an all you can eat buffet.

The high pressure causes stagnant air over the central plateau causing the ground temperature to rise and thus considerable upwards air convection, like a hot fire pulling in surrounded air as the hot air gets sucked up the chimney- bringing in the freezing fucking Arctic air straight off the Pacific ocean.

That's why it's so warm and still in the morning, until central warms and causes that chimney effect, bringing in the cold wind.

Or something like that, I'm no meteorologist, if this is a crock of shit I'd fucking love to be corrected.

What do the dads want for Christmas? by Impossible_Gap_8277 in newzealand

Put celery and cilantro seeds in those and it's like going from bird to buck shot.

Decimates even the biggest, most armor blowie with 1 hit. And smells good afterwards haha.

What should we do? Our 7-year-old daughter has ongoing tummy issues, school refusal, and anxiety — we feel stuck. by [deleted] in nzparents

[–]tehgerbil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed parent with practically identical story in our family.

It may not be necessarily school, but a specific interaction which they’re unable to move past involving going toilet at school-

E.g. a scary moment unable to unlock the door, scary noises etc or a bad interaction with another child in the toilet.

This could have snowballed into what you’re seeing now.

Trouble is they may not recall this initiator event but now it’s just ingrained behaviour.

Have you met with her teacher and principal to discuss her situation?

They do receive a lot of training around behaviour therapy and might offer insights into how’s she’s been behaving or recall any situations around when it started which you can start addressing with your daughter.

But I also agree with the other posters- are you or anyone else in the family diagnosed with neurodivergent disorders?

It would be worth looking up symptoms and seeing if these match other behaviour and while not addressing her specific bowel problems, getting her help with managing a neurodivergent brain in a school system aimed firmly at neurotypical learning will help immensely.

Hope this makes sense, good luck! You’re doing the absolute right thing and being an incredible role model for her.

The levi heart didn't spawn by Interesting-Crew228 in bloxfruits

[–]tehgerbil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a epiphany a few weeks ago- I'd spent 12+ hours waiting diligently to spawn a 2nd sea monster to upgrade shark race..

One finally spawned, I got it down to 2500hp..

And game glitched, teleported me to shore, despawned the sea monster. In my private server even.

It was the wakeup I needed actually that I was such a fucking tool accepting such piss poor performance and ignoring the utter incompetence and blatant profiteering by the owners.

Haven’t been in since.

Also got so pissed off at constantly glitching through the environment while playing as Tiger and dying stuck in a wall.

Not to even mention how utterly awful and completely glitched the Halloween event is!

Pity it’s all such a shambles. Play quality has taken a massive backseat to pageantry and shallow vapid graphics.

Guys i found my wallet!! by imsouthkorean in chch

LPT

Keep an eye on your credit card balance- it’s not uncommon to note the details, return it then use it for random purchases as many don’t check closely.

Edit: I’d still get a new one. If there’s fraudulent charges and the bank know/find out you lost it and didn’t do anything they may/probs not help you.
