That’s reassuring to hear. Thank you for that :)

How’s your new car experience been compared to previously owning used cars?

We ended up purchasing a new car (I know it doesn’t make the best financial sense, but oh well) and the dealers advised it will be ready for pickup early next week (it’s just come off the ship), and they’re asking for payment by tomorrow, which they are obviously doing so that they can get this sale in for the month.

Given that it’s a brand new car (with all the warranties etc) and that it’s due in a few business days, and that they are a very large dealership (and they’ve been decent to deal with so I wouldn’t be against helping them to get the sale in this month), is there any reason I shouldn’t? - never purchased a new car before.

We’ve got a couple of hue lights inside the house and we’re always wanting to expand the collection but they’re so bloody expensive.

Seems like there’s a few different options that I’ve seen online that’ll work with Hue and Zigbee, but haven’t done enough research to know what’s best.

Yeah we’ve cut down on the number of different types we’ve planted. Gone for the ones we actually like and the good growers from last year.

We weren’t gonna do tomatoes this year either, but then decided to give the grafted ones a go. Fingers crossed 🤞

We planted a bunch of lettuce, some chilli’s, eggplants, cherry tomatoes, zucchinis and a few different herbs.

Oh nice. Sounds like you guys are growing quite a bit of food!

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

Haha. I did this a couple of times recently, but there’s just a few that seem to be very sturdy and a really nice size that I can’t seem to pull the trigger on

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.

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)

I’ve only been looking at the Raspberry Cams for the moment, as my thinking was that I wanted to keep all the components as compatible as possible to make my life easier.

Though for security cameras, maybe @eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz would have better knowledge around what is good out there?

During my research, I’ve been seeing a lot of talk around Docker. Is that sort of like in between a Venv & VM?

My understanding is that is you use a Coral TPU, it basically allows you to run things such as Image recognition on much lesser hardware than would otherwise be possible? In theory, does that mean you don’t need the top of the line everything else if you’re trying to run something like that?

I didn’t even realize it was feijoa season until I went into the office earlier this week, and it seemed every other person had a bag full of em on their desk lol.

Went over to mum’s earlier today, and she gave us some as well 😆
