I volunteer with LandSAR and one of the things they drill into us is risk vs consequence. Yes, the risk of something may be low, but if the consequences are high then you should seriously consider another option… At least in theory 😂

What a wall of sound. I’ve never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Scary, yes. But it’s funny really in some regards, when you think about our tolerance to risk - I live practically on top of the Alpine Fault yet barely give it a second thought. And we’re up in Auckland for the weekend - I was surprised to discover that Rangitoto Island is only 600 years old - 2M+ people living ‘on’ a barely dormant volcano is kinda terrifying.

I’m sure there’s a name for the formal Fallacy that applies here - Acceptable Risk maybe?

Yes, I’d considered that too. Alas, not the case

Thanks. I’ll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you’ve suggest too. But at this point it’s looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

I’ve tried. We’re rural and tradies just don’t want to know.

Yes, there’s another pump back in the main line from the boiler.

With the bypass valve closed, the hot water doesn’t seem to circulate at all - either down the bypass or through the loops.

And, the thermostat on the circulating pump there switches it off below whatever temp you set. Once switched off, then the top rail starts to heat (implying that got water is now going into the loops). So strange , I just can’t get my head around how it’s ‘supposed’ to work, let alone if it’s actually working properly.

I sang semi-professionally for quite a few years. Used to use in-ear monitors and they do a similar thing - you do get used to it pretty quickly, or at least it becomes less annoying!

Just North of Punakaiki, West Coast, SI.

A bit cloudy here but still stunning

Well my comment aged well 😂 Had a sensational display here. Awe inspiring

Sounds like this morning’s display was pretty decent, but expected to subside by tonight :(

Ooh, hadn’t heard of the Night Manager. Looks good, Cheers!

Sounds like we have similar taste! Funnily enough, I couldn’t get into Shogun though.

Oh man, such a good series.

I also enjoyed 11.22.63 - didn’t realise they’d made a series of it. Nice.

There’s some superb television in that series. Yes, the final season gets a bad rap, but it’s still worth watching. Enjoy!

Holy crap, they’re up to 16 seasons now? Unreal!

Doesn’t get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way

Yeah, it’s adjustments each time - moving the teeth in different directions. But appointments are usually no more than 15 minutes, so it’s definitely not in depth!

I love where we live, but this is definitely one of the downsides!
