    Please explain

    bit harsh, I didn't get that vibe, the explanation by driftit explains it in his favour i would say, doing 157km in a work vebicle though especially when you know its monitored is muppet level arrogance and would have been license pinging if he had been caught. must have been late for a smoko shout because no council worker ever hurried to a job IMHO

    The irony

    oh lighten up, most of it is just dry humour, you have to laugh or you would go mad at the lunacy of it all and no there's certainly been no mention of there being a concerted effort to fill positions based on gender not skill by the various forces inc police, //sarc Look at Boeing ffs, DEI is working well there no one will be at fault or be punished, they never are, its never anyone s fault, sh*t just happens, luckily we have endless money to just fix all these slight bumps in the matrix, NZ taxpayers have unlimited funds and we just need to give a few more hugs, your correct its not likely she was at the helm at the time and if our local mayor can oversee a coverup of a poisoned townswater well (Havelock North) where people died and then get promoted to an govt mp then she will have no issues whatsoever and will probably be back at work by xmas. Our Captain? so we had a say in who was hired, promoted, Funnily I doubt you will say that about our Trump, if he wins for example god help anyone for having the temerity to wonder what the heck they were doing on a reef in high winds in the dark, how dare anyone be suspicious that there wasn't a massive human error here somewhere. the rescue sounds horrific, first boat landed at 1am after abandoning at 8pm and the last made shore at 7am 12hrs later?, some of the locals were real heroes and risked everything swimming in the dark in massive seas to rescue boats
  4. https://www.imore.com/iphone/best-wireless-carplay-adapter-year I still recommend something like this, I've got the carplay unit albeit not in a bmw currently but it would solve alot of the issues, it works faultlessly although takes about 15 seconds to connect and bring the phone screen up in car. See the iphone 16 now has 45w wireless charging and next year they are bringing out a whole new generation carplay although it doesn't appear bmw have signed on yet https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/13/apple-next-generation-carplay-recap/

    The irony

    theses something fishy with the numbers of people on board too, alot of private people," samoans" appear to have been onboard for some reason, not that we will ever know as it will all be covered up and the inquiry will be whitewashed. Its looking like another Rena now with turtles dieing and oil slicks so is going to get very expensive and be ongoing it would appear. But what really rips my nightie is all they can keep saying , its not that bad because no one died, so we paid 69m for a boat that was valued at 16m apparently, spent 40m to make it navy compatible, replacement cost is probably now 150m 150m would have paid for how many cancer treatments, operations etc, yes its going to costs lives FFS.

    The irony

    DEI hire She’s only the second woman to crash a NZnavy ship this year https://www.thepost.co.nz/politics/350284063/hull-damaged-nz-warship-berths-high-winds Out of the Four women commanding our Navy ships, two have crashed, and one has been stood down. Looking forward to what the fourth has to offer. https://insidegovernment.co.nz/navy-women-leading-from-the-front/ the only way this story could get anymore embarrassing is if the Hercules being sent to Samoa to bring the crew back, breaks down

  8. Do you need to worry about the different standards for fast charging, I know the cords are chipped independently and the chargers have to support PD. I would want my usb-c to support fast charging of android as well as iphone, some of the new phones can use 65w now and someone in the backseat might have an ipad on a trip? Its only going to get more year by year and its the fast charge thats the important bit in an emergency. for the cradle it would make more sense to change/modify the pocket to take a wireless pad, far more convenient, I purchased a beefy one from ali , they all seem to use a simple cable power feed, and dismantled it down to the actual coils and then fitted it to my car phone pocket and it works brilliantly. Bit of trial and error to make sure pad lines up with phone easily, added a wireless to apple car play adapter and everything is kaipai

    Free isn't actually free people seem to think a search engine is a god given right purely I guess because we have always had them and have just taken them for granted but the reality is they cost alot of money to run and the same for browsers really its really mindblowing when you stop to think of what you can do and have available for zero cost,from the free wifi to the maps and directions, free searches, etc all of which could in reality turned off or charged tomorrow. There is a reason its free but you arn't going to like it so best to not consider it.

    pointless using brave if you still have google set as the default search engine, its the search engine at fault not the browser you won't get a sponsored section with other search engines like that people don't realise just how much monopoly google have on the world, just pure evil 95% of people think a google search is an unbiased truth and completely fact checked its very sad how they have way more control than facebook /meta ever had, just more subtle but people think zuckerberg is the issue ask any teacher, student google is god
  11. with all the simple remote desktop options, all that work can be done easily remotely as long as you provide the laptop and connection locally the person doing the programming can be basically anywhere,helps If your also on the phone for any manual type instructions like turning a key or starting the car there shouldn't be any issues really,

    I'd rent it out as a kart track or as a drift burnout pad, its not as bad as that new airport they showed on top-gear years ago,
