I do CAD and web dev - have been bombarded with "job offers" to get me to operate forklifts and or trucks for 10 years now. Even did an interview once where I didn't even know that was the job until after the interview.

When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.

Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?

I didn't know they had inport taxes on desktops. Thanks for the heads up.

In my experience, typically import taxes are there to try and encourage buying local. Does New Zealand manufacturer their own electronics, or is this import tax just a way to levy money? Or is it to reduce environmental impact?

 

Hey, I'm an American moving to NZ (Whangerei, Northland) in a few months and am trying to device if I should fly my desktop/server over or just build a new one there.

What's the general availability of server and desktop parts there? Any recommended local shops, or do I need to import everything from Asia?

I remember connecting to private World of Warcraft servers back in the day and even hosted one for just me and my partner. Anyone know if it would be technically possible do this for RuneScape?

I have a bit of an exhibitionist kink. If I thought I could make more money then I currently do, I totally would.

When I went to malls as a teenager I would often get stopped and searched as if I was shoplifting. Was over 6' at 16 and often wore hoodies. When I started getting into cross-dressing I was too ashamed to go through checkout with it. So I dressed in nicer clothes then hoodie and jeans, and shoplifted women's clothing from every clothing store that ever stopped and searched me incorrectly previously. Part shame part revenge part kink.

Been there done that. Likely will again.

Rate could mean over time or percentage of. I think OP was thinking of time, in which case your wouldn't need the total number of schoolchildren. Just divide the population of billionaires by the number of schoolchildren that die by violent crime per year.

Bluetooth range is too short and too unreliable for that that work well. A good rule of thumb is if you can't hear the other person, neither can Bluetooth. There are apps that use WiFi or internet ofr this. This app is free for WiFi and you pay if you want to cross internet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slide2talk.android.app

I'm of the unpopular opinion that India/Pakistan should be its own continent and New Zealand should be different continent then Australia. Both because they are different techtonic plates.

 

I would very much like to move from Google and Microsoft and other proprietary, non privacy services.

I have spent hundreds of $ and thousands of hours trying to setup various different services on various different platforms and every single one of them has been difficult, annoying, frustrating, and ultimately fails.

I have concluded I am just not the guy to do this as I am Windows CAD guy and have no idea what I am doing with networking, Linux or CLI. 90% of the words and terms in tutorials are greek to me.

I am looking for notes (Joplin), Google Drive replacement (NextCloud?), and email (??) on a cloud server. And then video streaming (plex or jellyfin + *arr?) and photo management (immich?) on my local machines.

Let me know if you are interested or know of somewhere better to post this.
