I've been cooking stuff too and indeed it was very warm. Perhaps turn on the AC if you have that?

Problems with alcohol are not limited to it sometimes being mixed with poison.

Alcohol IS a poison...

The woman in the car was in a bad shape, was unconscious until ambulance arrived after ONE HOUR. Ridiculous, we were in Christchurch CBD. Police and tow truck arrived after 15mins or so but the thing needed most took forever. That woman's car was totalled.

Yeah, the insurance claim for the damage to our vehicle has been approved! A truck failed to stop, rear ending a car, in turn rear ending us. 17k damage :/

I've got a QNAP. Relatively happy with it, as it's easier to manage than DIY, but it's hard to migrate to a different brand as the RAID implementation is proprietary, so can't just plug the disks in a different brand. First NAS lasted about 7 years until it was too slow, new one is about 5 years and still going strong.

DIY gives you more flexibility, but also more maintenance.

The github repo doesn't seem very active indeed. Well I'll jump ship when it breaks :)

Ah sorry, thought you meant sort by.

Yeah it still works.

@[email protected] I'd recommend moving to another health insurance, as Dave said NIB is at the bottom of the list. We moved to SC from AA Health (underwritten by NIB). A bit more expensive but I feel much better now. When I need it, hopefully never, I don't want issues with the insurer.

I've tried many, but sticking with Liftoff. By default it shows New Comments for me.

Thanks, didn't know BNZ had that. Seems like I can't do online quotes. One of those things, not sure if it's worth the hassle.

E.g. I just switched to Kogan Mobile for my wife and I as it was much cheaper, but for my wife can't get number port to work. So much time wasted on their support. In the end just given up and she'll use the Kogan sim for data only, luckily she has a dual sim phone.

So I know AA is good so probably stick with them.

Yeah the excess would be fine with us as well. My experience with smaller claims is that it's quick and easy, had 2 claims <$3k and they were approved quickly.

The current damage to our car is roughly $20k so that's a different story.

I thought it was too much too, but it adds up quickly. We've got 5 bikes, roughly $5k. Kitchen appliances, another $3k. Washing machine and dryer, $1500. Clothes per person, $5k, times 4. TV, gaming console, $1500. PC and monitors, $1500. NAS, $1000. Curtains. Bread maker. Garden tools. DIY tools. Desks. And so on.

I filled out a calculator online and it even said more, but we went with $120k. When my house burns down I don't want to be in a position we're underinsured.
