Good deal for UHP tyres?

Hi all. I am still looking for new tyres for my Scirocco and came across these Michelin PS5 tyres. at $412 a tyre is this good? the last performance tyres I had were on my Mk6 GTI they were RE003's I paid $240 a tyre for ( which was a steal! ), Is this a good deal for PS5 tyres? or should I go for continentals? I have the car tuned and it mainly does daily duties. I do wheel alignments on the car every service (5000km) And don't really push the car so I am kind of hoping to get good life out of the tyres. I want responsiveness and comfort. I want to feel what the car is doing when I am driving if that makes sense and have amazing grip around corners.

Does anyone need some moving boxes?

Hi everyone I’m moving today and I have quite a lot of moving boxes? I have no need for them and it would be a dam shame to throw them away. I would like to give them away to someone on here who needs them? If they can take them I would also ask if they could take some other cardboard as well to help me clear out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

I feel sick after a big purchase day

So for context I have saved nearly $12k in the last year which I feel is a good achievement. I am moving homes next week and I have spent $6k in 24 hours on stuff I genuinely needed

I bought a 6 piece bedroom set (I don’t have one currently and I needed this)
I bought my dream desk, the secretlabs Magnus pro xl with all accessories

I got a tv unit
And purchased a cheap xbox series x ($500nzd is a steal for these. I wanted one for bedroom 4k blu rays. I have a OLED in lounge and gonna get a cheap big tv for bedroom)

I feel sick to my stomach after all of this. Is that normal? I worked so hard to see it disappear in 24 hours. I feel like my safety net is gone, I will be getting my deposit back from here which will help. I also have a tribunal settlement coming in which would help top it back up. My question is, is this a normal feeling? I am financially responsible and this will be the biggest purchase I have made in years on luxury’s

Forgot to mention I have $50k cash savings on top of the $12k saved as well as $24700 in billion

Mesh network help (asus setup)

Hello all. I come to you in a time of great need. I am about to move into a new home and I am in need of assistance for wifi. I currently have an asus tuf ax6000 and for a 2 bedroom apartment. My plan is to get something asus related so I can mesh it. I have a couple options. I was suggested purchasing (according to salesperson at a New Zealand retailer) an asus RT BE92U but that seems super expensive. I had another option where I could use my ancient asus rt ac86U temporarily till a sale comes along. What do you guys think?

Buns bakery beggars problem

Forgive me if I come off as callous but I went to buns tonight and was really intimidated. Literally 3-4 people outside doing drug deal and in the span of 5 minutes I was asked for money 3 times. The person inside warned the people they were trespassed and the beggars got mad. It is absolutely insane. It was quite intimidating when the riders on the bikes circled my car and refused to move. Once I got a gap I left as quick as I could

Bilstein B6 shocks worth it?

So I’m looking at upgrading my EDC shocks. I have a 2011 vw scirocco and my mk6 gti had bilstein b4’s which were OEM+ upgrade. I was thinking of going to B6 shocks. I have heard the rube is sublime in them, they are sporty but comfortable. I also need to find ones that are edc compatible (unless there is an adaptor that can shut the error light off once I replace to none edc’s but would prefer to keep the option)

Residential tenancy’s act S59 questions

So I’m taking my current property managers to court ( i won’t mention who) for water ingress that has been going on for 5+ years at this property. I am a fixed term tenant until November this year and they have ended my tenancy without me agreeing saying they can under s59. My understanding is this is used for sudden water ingress like a busted pipe or natural disaster, not gradual remidial repairs. These issues have been going on (all documented and landlords have responded by doing temporary repairs) since August 2021. They will quite literally paint over black mould and keep repainting every 18 months. Here is the latest photo showing multiple layers of paint with black mould. Am I correct with my judgement on s59 being for sudden moisture ingress and not overtime of 5 years? They also tried to claim that my wardrobe was packed too tightly causing black mould there as well (the moisture issues are in bathroom and the wardrobe and shower share same wall). In one photo the moisture reading is 44%

Any pc/ps5 gamers out there?

Hi guys I am needing to broaden my circle of friends (don’t have many) and I love doing pc gaming in particular rpgs and shooters. I am a WoW nerd but haven’t played since the dreaded shadowlands. I also picked up marvel rivals recently and can only really play punisher. I am looking at getting new gears and halo as well as forza. I have a Xbox account but no longer use a console as PC does all the Xbox does :) . I am also wanting to start doing tabletop games too. I recently finished warhammer space marine 2 and LOVED IT. Wants me to investigate further warhammer universe. I also am on chapter 5 of RDR2 and throughly enjoying it. I also have BF6 but not played much. Anyone on here keen to do some gaming or possibly hang out for a bit?

Some flatpack furniture setup as well as a bed setup and desk setup. Normally I would do this on my own but being blind as hell on top of moving would be extremely difficult.

Advice for working out and losing weight same time

Hi guys new here but I have lost 40kg in 8 months while being on wegovy. I was at my heaviest 153kg and as of this morning I am at 113.75kg. This is an appropriate 90lb weight loss I hit a bit of a stall period for about 6 weeks where I was at 120kg and nothing no matter what I did worked. Then it started coming off again which was good.

I walk 10k steps a day
I eat well and not bad food (mainly eggs on toast and nuts)

I use to guzzle soda down (coke full sugar I use to have 6-8 cans a day). Now I drink about 1.5l of water a day and at max have 2 Diet Coke cans a day (usually none but there are days I have it.) I can’t even drink normal anymore as far too sweet

Whenever I have protein I try and do small portions as I feel super full quickly and usually stick to 1 meal a day of eggs on toast.

Is there any further advice I could be doing? I want to do gym work but I’m always tired after work etc. the gym I am looking at has a sauna as well as pools which is an added bonus.

Home has black mould issue for 5 years. Landlord retaliation after I gave 14 days notice

I have been at wits end with my property managers. I have been a tenant since 2019. For 5 years (I have all photos and correspondence recorded) the bathroom has had black mould issues. All they do is send a guy in to repaint over it and 1 year later same issue! In the property there is a major issue with black mould as upstairs had a water ingress issue they finally resolved in 24 where it was leaking down my walls. Contractor confirmed this and now here we are. In 27/01/26 I issued a 14 day notice and they still have not done anything. I reminded them of it last Tuesday as they “never received it” but sent screenshot showing that I emailed it (they also on same day refused to take a paper copy when they came around to discuss a non related issue). They wanted me to move out while repairs take place which would be 6-8 weeks. Offered no real solution for rentals apart from a house that would cost $200 more a week. I outlined this wasn’t acceptable as I shouldn’t be paying more than what I am currently. Then they just said fuck it and gave me 5 days to leave! I am a fixed term tenant till end of October so I know they cannot do this. Attached is photos of water ingress issues since 21. I have filed with tenancy tribunal as they refuse to compensate for mould damage clothing, the tenancy cancellation with very little notice, moving costs. I have put $13000 as this covers costs (I have $7000 worth of clothes including 3 tailor made suits mould damaged) they would also come around randomly to show the upstairs off to potential tenants with NO NOTICE. I showed them the act where it states 24 hour notice and their response “we don’t need to give notice”

My question is since this has been going since 21 is my asking price unreasonable and fees able

I also have another question. Is it reasonable to not do an end of tenancy clean as they are going to be ripping the place apart for 6-8 weeks?

SMALL UPDATE! thank god I document everything!! Have gone back through emails and found original emails from July 2021 with screenshots showing first damage from water ingress! How much does this strengthen my case?
