I've bought a bunch of stuff from Cactus Outdoors over the years, but I'm finding that their cuts don't really fit me very well and are also a bit on the higher end price-wise. Love their bags though. Do you have any NZ-made brands that you can recommend?

    I wonder how they're going to manage the petrol companies from keeping the cost high and pocketing the extra once fuel tax is gone. Is the pricing breakdown of fuel freely available to the public?

    I'm pretty pessimistic about this:

    1. Say no
    2. Google still scrapes your site to train their AI
    3. People don't care that its wrong, still use Google instead of other search engines

  • The stupid coating on my glasses is rubbing off, how do I just remove it entirely? Acetone maybe?

    I've had good results removing the coating with armor etch, but be warned that the uncoated plastic lens are now more prone to scratches. I was able to extend the life of my glasses about 6 months before I got annoyed with the microscratches building up, was able to save up for a new pair.

    I'd argue that there is, but we are just too used to the Lightroom or Photoshop way of thinking/workflow. We don't entertain other programs because it is difficult to learn a new way of doing things and return to a place of competency. And the less people use a piece of software, the less there will be documentation to help others learn.

    I'm not sure if its a conspiracy theory or verified, but I do think that Adobe were okay with people (amateurs) pirating their software. We didn't have the money to pay for it anyway, but it got us to become proficient at using Photoshop so that when we eventually had money, we were locked in.

    Or... How about using a different program instead of Adobe's so that we van eventually change what the "industry standard" is?

    I just picked up Steam world Quest because I like Slay the Spire, its fun but I do miss the ability to really break the game like in StS, different genre I guess. Also UI is so cluttered, a lot of clicks to find important information. Glad it was on sale

    I've had a couple of good experiences with budget ANC buds, I used scarbir.com for his budget reviews, especially like that he assesses their phone call quality.

    I can't figure out that ladder placement. So you have to climb up the ladder, and then tiptoe balance your way to the side to get into the tent? I'm guessing they gave up on that and just stepped on the car door instead.
