I’m self employed. The workshop is located 30M behind our house. Walk to work, so very green. The EV is charged from our roof mounted solar panels. Again very green. 🙂

Just being inquisitive after reading the other page.
Can you oir do you use solar to power anything in your workshop?
If you do what sort of things, lights
recharging tools etc.
Thinking of working on this for our workshop.
We have a miriad of tools and lights that are battery or solar powered and am thinking that we could do this.
don’t see Mercury bringing down my cost.
I use reverse heat pumps for warm water, don’t need hot. Had them for a long time.

Interested in suggestions.

Hi V,

We put 5,3 Kw solar on roof September 2018. It’s generated 42.59 Mwatt/hrs of energy to date. Paid for itself in less than 6 years.

Solar powers the shop entirely when the sun is shining. Mostly lights but also a heat pump, soldering irons, electric screw drivers, etc. Excess is used by the house or goes into the grid. We get paid $0.147 per Kwhr by Electric Kiwi.

On a good day can generate 36 KwHr of juice. Cloudy days create less power. Only rain shuts it down completely.

Our business got the GST back and is depreciating the solar installation. ROI was about 15%.

aw yea, i worked out 42mw x 0.147 but didnt think to work it out at full rate of what you were saving.

workmates looking at it, me too if it stacks up. we’re a power hungy household and mrs sb and homeschooled kids are home all day to use it. i wouldnt worry about a battery bank as im sure we would use most of it without poking it into the grid.
workmates quote last week was 13k for 10kw of panels plus inverter/switching gear, hes pricing out a few more options. at 13k id go do it but southland wont roi as quick as you folk further north but still be worth it.

Well judging by the traffic around here yesterday they are still getting home from shopping.
Like a raceway of doomed sheep they were.
Bloody got a ticket for doing 101 on a frigging motorway that is now an urban road.
fucking useless pricks at NZTA. 30 minutes to get out of the mount and onto the urban motorway and the shitheads were on the overhead bridge. Want help in the future. bigg finger.
Managed to take up a good 20 minutes of the cops time. Being nice of course.
Guess how much per hour that they cost to run.
Around say $300,00

and I just realised the funny bit. Because there was nowhere to pull off the urban highway had to come off at a ramp. Then down to a side road before I could stop safely. The bit that will piss her off will be that she had to go for a lot of miles to get back to where they were. No easy peasy way back to the urban motorway without doing so.
Hehe. Nice lady, but wouldn’t want to have her as a back up in a scrap. Must have been about 50. an small person.
No wonder the big boys quit.

Also always ask to see the calibration certificate for the radar unit, that must be current for “infringement” to stand.

Did the big boys quit ?

“Shipton and others including another former policeman Bob Schollum lured the then 20-year-old woman to a surf lifesaving tower, where she was pack raped. ”

Shipton and Schollum were big lads and they among others were basically terrorists, not actual cops
This pack rape took place right there in Mt Maunganui .
Some possible roid rage from illegal steroid taking.

The BOP poo lice district was out of control in the 1970s to 1990s
Rotorua, Kawerau, Mt, Tauranga, Murupara, anywhere thereabouts
and Ross ardern was there. He din see nuffin.

A preacher announced, “Anyone with ‘special needs’ who wants to be prayed over, please come up to the front by the altar.” 

With that, an old Maori man got in line, and when it was his turn, the Preacher asked: “Rangi, what do you want me to pray about for you?” 

Rangi replied, “Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing.” 

The preacher put one finger of one hand in Rangi’s ear, placed his other hand on top of Rangi’s head & then prayed & prayed & prayed. He prayed to the ‘Almighty’ for Rangi & the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm. After a few minutes, the preacher removed his hands, stood back & asked, “Rangi, how is your hearing now?” 

Rangi answered,  “I don’t know mate, it ain’t ’til next week!”

How a small Chinese company tricked the German state | DW Investigation
https://youtu.be/aU_S97Ae1eg
17 min 25 secs : Dec 11, 2024 : DW Planet A
Narrative translated into spoken English. Other short interview answers are subtitled.
.
DW uncovered that dozens of Chinese climate projects, certified by the German authorities as carbon credits under the upstream emission reduction scheme, failed to deliver on promises to save millions of tons of carbon emissions. A joint investigation by DW and ZDF reveals how Germany was deceived – and exposes the shadowy company Beijing Karbon behind the alleged fraud.

The total madness of the techno-bureau-crats that then start chasing their own tails of tales in virtue signalling of we will do it better next time in whatever form of credits, offsets, taxes etc.., to save the planet from Carbon,
.
Like cycle lanes in Peru, and do not forget for Antarctica. Do now want them missing out after all those tropical reef isles collect their monies.

Yet the same Germans want to control NZ through the EU & global carbon ‘whatevers’ to what NZ should be in compliance with to export into the EU, while German Environmental Certification is really not worth a damm. !

right now the two powerhouses of Europe – France and Germany -are in trouble … economic trouble and political trouble.
France has its power supply sussed with nuclear, but Germany (under East German saboteur Merkel ) wrecked theirs .

So I’m watching carefully.
With France and Germany in a weakened position will this transfer even more power to the EU and Merkle’s great mate, von der leyen ?

Any thoughts.
This was probably planned for Germany (over 85% by my observation)
France’s weakness was not so predictable.

Those were the days, when some of those old shearers needed the dawn light to fit the combs & cutters onto the handpiece.

Then the shearers abandoned that to make it a more genteel hours of starting at 7:00 am star.

That then twisted into an actual NZ standard time of 6:00 am start by the daylight savings change.

Now many business’s close early, buses & trains finish early, so the hard working farmer is left in the lurch near the end of his dawn to dusk working day.. 🙂

The alleged Indian’s English sentence makes no sense.
“… to help me fight my Samoan neighbour’s …”
The apostrophe implies one Samoan neighbour’s possession.
“… to help me fight my Samoan neighbour’s what?”

If there were multiple Samoan neighbours it would be “… to help me fight my Samoan neighbours’ [something unknown] …”

So his Samoan neighbour has something that this Indian is battling against. I wonder what it could be?

BTW. What is an Indian doing in Otara? I would have though Flatbush would be as close as they would get.

English is confusing enough, but when the writer is not a native speaker or poorly educated in the black arts of English grammar, it becomes much more difficult for me.

….”or poorly educated in the black arts of English grammar”…….

Point well made. I pity anyone trying to get their head around formal English as it’s difficult enough to make oneself understood on a colloquial level. English is a fusion language developed from Old English, Danish, Norse & French yet influenced by loan words taken from Latin, Hindi & Spanish amongst others. Little flows logically & the rules of grammar are challenged at every step.

Yet the nuances that can be created by use of a select word in the proper context makes it worth while.

I congratulate you on your mastery of the hocus-pocus. Seldom do you make a mistake.

So far, not quite 3 million have signed the petition for another UK general election.
It seems to have got a question in Parliament, on 6th January next year, but that will change nothing.

But this petition will run to 20th May 2025 where it needs to be up about at least 16 million & even much more to have any real effect, if at all.

Would 2 tier Kier, of ideology of Blair, farmer harmer Starmer feel anything from the rest of the clowns in his cabinet, or caucus.
5 more years to run, while the police are still busy rounding up any one from commenting on a tweet a year or so ago.

Will be an interesting court case.
So was he defending himself or what is deemed “life breathing” property with a ‘mauri’ that is an “essence of life force”.
If there are to be ‘tikanga’ principles, then ‘utu’ would seem to be a sound defence for extinguishing the ‘mauri’ of a pig. 🙂
The NZ system is not to defend property.
.
A jury trial.
A problem is just how long will it take before a trial gets under way.?

Apparently poachers after his pigs. Not the first time they’d been bothering his stock. Guessing they were after pork for Christmas dinner.

No need for poaching when there are wild pigs in the bush.

The Government’s new Three Strikes legislation has passed its third reading in Parliament.

The legislation, which contains several modifications to the previous Three Strikes law repealed by the Labour Government in 2022, was supported by the government parties but opposed by Labour, the Greens and Te Pati Māori.

The regime becomes applicable if an individual is found to have committed a qualifying offence and received a sentence above a particular level of severity. The first time this occurs, they receive a warning, at the second they aren’t eligible for parole, and on the third, they must serve the maximum penalty without parole.

The qualifying offences include a range of violent and sexual crimes, including the addition of new strangulation and suffocation offences.

While the Government initially set the sentence threshold at 24 months imprisonment, to ensure the regime was reserved for the most serious cases, it made a change in response to submissions that it was set too high.

Old strikes still count so some will be going away fro a long time.

One of NZ’s most popular cars hit with 1 star safety rating

One of New Zealand’s most popular small cars, the Suzuki Swift, has been handed a poor one star crash safety rating (out of five) from ANCAP, with Suzuki New Zealand issuing response to the result.

National crash test auditor, ANCAP, has announced it has given the latest generation of the small hatchback a one star rating out of a possible five, the worst crash test rating for the nameplate and the lowest for any current Suzuki sold here.

In wake of this, Suzuki New Zealand’s chief executive says all he can do is ask the maker if improvements can be delivered, in hope the car can in time be re-tested and do better — and hope the parent in Japan will react.

You will recall I commented on the safety ratings of cars and the NZTA lwoing everyone down because the cars are definitely not safe.
The only question now id who else?

I rest my case.

The death of BLM, as the Hegelian discourse searches for a way to move onto another leftist level.
.
……. told again and again that the six years of BLM violence were “organic”.
.
The BLM riots were a production from the same people who brought us the Women’s March, Occupy Wall Street, the anti-war riots and now the Hamas riots.
The radical street groups and the big money propped up a timely ‘brand’ and the activists who became its public face.
The latest outrage is monetized, organized and then retired once its time has passed.
.
Next week or next year it may be something else, an old cause or a new one, to riot over.
For the moment the Left is still deciding what cause to champion after the Hamas riots wind down.
And until the Left jumps one way or another, the causes will not catch fire on their own no matter how much Hawk Newsome hyperventilates and jiggles his chins because Daniel Penny is a free man.
.
Newsome, [not Californian Gavin Newsome] like Sharpton before him, is nothing without the backing of the Left.
And that is why the aftermath of the Penny verdict is so revealing.
Americans were taught to live in terror of a few swaggering thugs yelling at the camera.
But the thugs were front men for the Left.

https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2024/12/daniel-penny-killed-blm.html
.
As they as self inflicted “victims” & “entitled” find other ways ways to continue The Revolution.
“Long Live The Revolution” what ever, where ever it is.
They were able to orchestrate the call for violence on, or off.
So far none of them have been called to account.
.
Note a number of things had to come together to show them up; with a determination of the people, to call “Time is Up” to this & the main stream media nonsense.

This seems to be the start of another agenda?

Dan Crenshaw : @DanCrenshawTX
A CEO is assassinated, and now “wanted” posters are appearing across the country, targeting others simply for being successful.
Someone even put up a highway sign calling for more murders.
This isn’t just outrage—it’s mob mentality, and it’s tearing at the fabric of who we are as Americans.

https://x.com/i/status/1867276054139711870
25 secs on the highway sign.

So once again the continuance of “Long Live the Revolution”

We wonder why our rates go up, and then in New Zealand hidden way of the government charges our garbage systems & landfills on a rising $ per tonne.

John Stossel : @JohnStossel
Plastic recycling is a “dead-end street.”
.
That quote…unbelievably…is from
@Greenpeace.
.
In my new video, we debunk the recycling religion. ….
…. The Recycling Religion
For decades we’ve been told recycling helps the Earth. It really doesn’t.
.
Recycling is a “sacrament of the green religion,” says Science Writer John Tierney.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1867243766605828401
7 minutes:
.
So the system wanted to chase down a universal Plastic Treaty, being another money grabbing grubbing way too.

So only a Sunday for the church coffers, but the real earthly sin, is to bring on mandated rituals, & compliances to pay for the Indulgences in Climate, Rubbish, Oil, Plastic, Carbon, Trees, Paper, etc, which is religiously practiced & supported every day of the week.

THE GREAT METHANE-BOVAER SCAM

Wake up, the belief that we’ll avoid bad weather by drugging cattle with Bovaer to reduce their farts is one of the greatest scams of all time

https:// (https://t.co/u4lplsb3UV)http://cbc.ca/…/do-cows-produce-more-methane-than… (https://t.co/u4lplsb3UV)… (https://t.co/u4lplsb3UV)

The actual amount of methane released from a single blade of grass wouldn’t change if it was just left to decompose, or if it was eaten by a cow & then digested by the bacteria in their gut

The only difference is that the methane would be released more quickly by a cow or other ruminants – animals that acquire nutrients from plant-based foods with the help of microorganisms

Cattle are ruminant animals & are in the company of about 200 other ruminant species–sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, elk, giraffes & camels

A ruminant animal is a specialized digestive system that allows them to break down & digest food that is indigestible by non-ruminants such as humans.
