So, I watch "Can't pay, take it away" and the restriction against seizing goods that are financed seems like something that could be exploited by ensuring that you constantly owe a (maybe token) amount of money against any assets you own? Is this correct? Is there anything in place to prevent this?

NB: I live in NZ, on the other side of the planet. This is 100% curiosity.

Title. I'm going to a wedding and have enjoyed the experience of trying suits on that I used to wear regularly - I've turned into a tubby bastard since then.

Interested in picking up a semi-decent suit - I'd like to keep it under $1000 - any suggestions on where would be a good place to start?

So, I've really tried to buy into the google home idea. I was very excited when it first came out, imported the devices instead of waiting for them to be released, and have been using them daily for about 4-5 months now.

But, I'm done - at least as far as home automation goes - for now. You could probably identify the points in my day where I try to use Google Home by looking at where my blood pressure spikes during the day.

On the plus side, my new found toys won't be going to waste - Home Assistant is my new playground for automation. And at some point I will probably give the voice commands a spin again, but as it stands they're more or less unusable due to:

• I have to yell even in a

I'm currently in New Zealand, and have multiple Google Home devices. Works fine for me, but my partner cannot add the devices to her account - at all.

All the instructions/guides say to click the "Multi User" banner underneath the device icon, but it simply isn't there. I've tried:

• Setting the phone to US English (In Google Assistant)
• Setting the Google Home devices to US English
• Uninstalled/Reinstalled Google Home multiple times.
• Reset all devices to factory defaults, gone through all steps again.

It's getting to the point where I'm going to be be veto'd on this experiment, and all the devices returned. Any ideas?

Title. Anyone want to catch up in Chch?

Edit - Should have read sidebar better. I'll clarify: This is not a hookup request. Just looking for some like-minded people in the city I just moved to and know no one.

As the title says, power is out in parts of Lane Cove, Artarmon and Northwood. ETA for restoration was 5:30 but it's been pushed back to 8:00pm now.

I only have enough battery power to keep me online until 7:30!

Title. My predecessor configured every goddamn A record with a TTL of 2 years.

Edit - The DNS records are external ones that are hosted by a DNS provider and the domains are used for public facing services. I've reached out to the DNS provider to see what they suggest.

I don't honestly expect to get any answers (but if someone has a solution, I'm all ears), I just wanted to share the fun around. Luckily I'm working from home today so Scotch/Rum isn't an issue.

Edit - Thanks u/shaunc and others for pointing out that this issue will probably be resolved by upstream providers having sane max TTL's. I'll keep an eye on what the public DNS servers return over the next few days/weeks and migra

Hey all, as the title says has anyone got this game working?

I've tried:

1. LibOVRWrapper installed globally (All versions)
2. Edited hardware_details_config.xml to have rift enabled = true and other required switches.
3. Installed/Launched via Steam

with a few variations:

1. Installed a nocd patch and launched without steam.
2. Copied libOVRWrapper 0.6 dll into the same folder as grid executable, with and without nocd patch.

At no point does the game seem to activate the rift runtime - it always stays on Oculus Home.
