Not available online, but if outside Christchurch you could call them for purchase possibly. Apologies if this is not within sub rules, but other stores sell this kit for $400, kinda a steal. Only about 5 of them left. Doesn't have extension though.

(Tool Question) Are all sockets compatible with Friction Ring Anvils?

Probably a stupid question, but are all impact sockets compatible with friction ring anvils? Or do the sockets need to have that groove inside? The Milwaukee ones make it very obvious that they do, with the red ring around the groove. But other brands like, GearWrench, I have no idea if they have the groove inside, like the 29 piece 3/8" metric set, I'm after. So how do you tell with sockets like that, or you don't need the groove at all?

PSU type 4 and type 3? cables

Apologies for the wordy spiel, haven't paid much attention to PC hardware in sometime. Got a RM650e, the cables say type 4 on them. I've got an older PSU AX1200i (10 years ago) and on the PCI-E plugs for it, they say TXM/HX/AXi only. At the time, i also got some cable mod cables too, they say nothing on them. The RM650e only comes with one 8 pin PCIE. If i wanna power an AMD card with it, can I just use the cables that came with the AX1200i? Also live in NZ, but it should't affect anything.

Social Housing Tenants have, "won the lotto". So we are gonna increase their rent.

Title of Article: Labour and Greens say social housing shake-up will see public housing tenants evicted

God this week has been just one awful half baked plan after another, with this government. Government plans to increase rent for Social Housing Tenants, by at least 5%, maybe up to 20%. And their entertaining the idea of "Tenacy duration limit". It's like they don't even know people are in Social Housing for a reason, physical disabilities, age, severe physical and mental health issues and so on. That's how people qualify to be eligable. They really don't care about the people at the bottom do they?

Boss I'm tired.

Weird Question: Can you use a regular battery, for a car that has stop/start, if you always turn it off?

If so, your savings $100+. It's an annoying feature, wears out motor mounts faster and the savings you make, aren't close to the price of wear n tear. Anyone tried it?
