Planted the vege garden over the weekend. Took in some learnings from last year, so here's hoping to a good harvest this year :)

Every time I watch a car review online and they start talking about child seats, they were talking to you! Hahaha

Haha the three side by side by side car seats sounds like a bit of a handful 😳

Sort of but not really. If we'd go second hand, ideally I'd like something like a hybrid corolla, but if we were to get a new car probably a mid sized suv hybrid.
If we get a second hand car, it's most likely gonna be a stop gap (and it'll replace my car in a few years time, and we'll get another larger car)

Oh yeah 100%. Won't even be looking at private listings.

Needing to buy another car, and mulling over getting a 2nd hand one vs a new one.
I know a new one doesn't make financial sense, and I've never done it.... But for some reason I just don't want to go through the rigamarole of trying to buy a decent non-lemon 2nd hand one.

Really pelting it down in Auckland right now 🙃

I've always been meaning to make one of these, but always wondered how long it would take to actually use.
How long did that piece in the photo take to get flat?

My fear of this happening (which I thought was irrational) has now been validated as being real.
I used to live in an apartment that had a swimming pool built on top of some commercial units, and every time I'd swim, I had a fear of falling through.

Yeah, I currently have a Dell Xps13 and won't be getting another Dell laptop after this one.

Apparently there's some rumours going around that they were doing some maintenance work on the pole when it happened. Don't know how true it is though.

Same here in New Zealand. Had them around for a while but never heard about flexible prices like this (other than items on sale of course)

just from having a think about it, your basically going DC (from the battery) to AC from the inverter back to DC via some inverter incorporated into the Festoon lights right? Do you already have the lights?, Or are there versions of the light that use DC?

I can't be of any help but those Ryobi ones look quite interesting. Didn't know they existed. Though at 150W, you'd be constantly changing out batteries!
Does your lighting plus straight an AC wall outlet?

Yeah definitely great to have that extra space :)
Though our second one is on the ground floor, and our kitchen is up on the floor above - so I find myself not really using the bottom one too much, and/or forgetting whats in the one downstairs.

My storage started off pretty similar, then I added some storage containers, and then I couldn't find stuff so I repurchased things I already had etc, so I put together a simple Google Sheet with all my inventory lol. Might add which container etc, each part is located to make it extra easier lol.

My parents have got three fridge/freezers (two in the garage) and it's amazing how they manage to always have them bursting at the seams lol 😂
Edit: we've "only" got two and feel we need another lol. It's the freezer space that gets us.

I keep buying components cause they look cool, or I think I'll need them for some project later lol.
I use nice tactix storage organizers to try and keep everything organized, but I just learned that they've stopped stocking the "deep" version :(

Haha. I know that feeling too well.
What were you originally thinking of doing with the IR Blasters?

I am able to change the post sorting on communities that I am subscribed to, but I can't seem to do so on communities that I am not subscribed to.
"The Reserve Bank stuck to the script and left the official cash rate unchanged at 5.5 percent, confirming an end to its 21-month tightening campaign"... "It said inflation, currently at an annual rate of 6.7 percent, was expected to keep falling as would inflation expectations, with a slowing global economy, an easing in supply chain disruptions, cooler labour and housing markets"... "It estimated that inflation would be back in the target band in the second half of 2024"... "We don't expect OCR cuts until May next year, give or take"

I was looking into getting a Window Cleaner to make cleaning windows a bit easier and quicker, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Karcher WV 6 Plus? The reviews online seem to be pretty good, but wanted some first hand insight :)
I was thinking about being able to set your default post order independently between the 3 different communities - "All", "Subscribed" & "Local". I've found in the bigger communities like All and Subbed, I like sorting by "Top 12hrs or Top day" but in my smaller local community, that means it shows me less than 10 posts. I'm always finding myself having to switch between different sorts as I move through the 3
The Te Huia train has been temporarily banned from operating in Auckland following two incidents. In a statement, Waka Kotahi said it had issued the prohibition notice to KiwiRail, preventing Te Huia passenger rail service from entering the Auckland metro area because of recent Signal Passed at Danger (SPAD) incidents. The notice meant Te Huia's route, which usually ended at The Strand in Parnell, would terminate at Papakura from this afternoon. Buses would replace the trains within the Auckland metro area. Waka Kotahi said two SPAD incidents had been reported by KiwiRail involving Te Huia this year as it travelled between Hamilton and Auckland. "A SPAD A event is defined as an incident when the train driver has failed to obey a red signal and has entered a section of track where there is the potential for conflict with another rail service.
We're currently shopping around for some Insurance (House & Contents), and are trying to decide going direct with someone like ANZ (Underwritten by Vero), or using a Broker (Have received some quotes by Rothsbury, as they seemed to be quite widely recommended). I'm finding prices similar, but ANZ definitely seems cheaper overall. I had heard that getting insurance through a broker is better, as come time to put through a claim, they will help you through the process, and get paid out faster. Is this really the case?, and so making it worth the higher costs (few hundred more).
**Waka Kotahi monitoring Auckland Harbour bridge** Waka Kotahi says it is closely monitoring the Auckland Harbour Bridge and that it could close if wind gusts exceed 90km/h. The Harbour Bridge has been placed under a red alert from midday until 9pm tonight, with wind gusts between 90 and 110km/h forecast. Waka Kotahi says it's working closely with MetService to monitor the wind speeds, with maintenance crews ready to react when wind gusts exceed the threshold. It's asking drivers of high vehicles and motorcyclists to avoid the bridge and use State HIghway 16 and 18 instead.
I just started using Lemmy today as I was previously using Apollo. Do we see Session Threads (or even Weekend Threads?) being created on here?
