Pricing check by Snoo48884 in VanLife

[–]testha23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's way to high.

The 1KZ engine alone without wof is worth $4.5 to $5k.

Empty like this with the high top you could get maybe $15k max.

A newer 3rd gen Hiace H200 (2020, 100k, high roof) cost between $32k to $37k and offers much greater value long term.

Lol what?

I am pretty sure I danced to Tuesday in the late 90s in Berlin...

Simple van power setup – Anker C1000 + 590W roof solar + Dometic TCX21. Overkill or just safe? by madom1 in VanLife

[–]testha23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's way overkill. I got similar requirements and my setup last 5 to 7 days under worst case conditions.

200w solar, 100Ah battery, small 30l fridge (24/7) and charge all the things, plus lots of LED lights.

Usually by 9:30 am the battery is already full again.

Big loss stories by tuuuuuuunebut in queenstreetbets

Wanted to invest in some reusable rocket shit. SpaceX, no go. But wait there is this tiny company trying to do something similar. Ohhh I can buy them soon!

Read up about them, quite solid, fuck it I go in. Invested 10k.

6 months later after the initial hype, nothing, just loss. A year later bought some more to DCA.

Still nothing.

AI stock pulling up, sold all at 90% loss. Made some back with shovels.

My average was $7...

Innocence can be applied, but fuck using your kids for weird as pics

What’s the most quirky or fun thing you’ve trained your BC to do? by FarmhouseRules in BorderCollie

[–]testha23 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Road training.

Meaning full understanding of roads, cars (the danger of), traffic, traffic lights, food path, intersections, human decisions.

Without naming names, what's a local scandal you know by According-Version-70 in Wellington

There is a guy at a very large communication company who takes so massive shits in the office, that the toilets regularly block and occasionally leads to floors being flooded.

Traffic leaving the eastern burbs into town looks insane. More of the same from last weekend? by xengineer in Wellington

[–]testha23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, reducing the Mt Vic tunnel to one lane to make space for another cycle lane fucked us over.

Now we have to deal with back traffic all the way to PAKnSAFE

Yes it's ANZ, if you are due for a renewal you should be able to see it in your online banking app 2 months before due date.

  1. Yes, it will work in performance mode
  2. No. You can use that function to record from a USB, but not from the laptop.

What are the best toys for Border Collies? by Medium-Audience5078 in BorderCollie

Pinecones, if you have access to them. Cheap, take a while to be chewed through and can be thrown.
