FedEx have their own drivers in Auckland?

I can confirm that they have at least one.

To be fair though, our supplier invests a fairly large chunk of money in freight, and in the past ran their own dedicated flights when the previous carrier (maybe TNT? Can't remember) wasn't reliable enough. I have no idea if FedEx is that good in general or if it's only for these sort of high-priority customers.

Between them, DHL and FedEx get almost all of our parts orders from Melbourne to Pukekohe overnight. They are unbelievably efficient compared to outfits places like Toll or Aramex that can't get packages across Auckland in under a week.

I remember seeing someone combine the two and had Home Assistant pull the photograph from USPS and attaches it to the notification when the mailbox sensor is triggered.

If I remember correctly, they are allowed to have a thumb throttle if it's capped at 6km/hr (which is still very handy for starting, especially on a cargo bike). On a generic Bafang/similar motor controller, that's a purely software limit that anyone with a programming cable can change.

Like some kind of masochist, I volunteered to head in about 90 minutes early, park at Clevedon, and ride to meet them at the top. I was only about five minutes short of actually beating them to the top, which I'm pretty proud of. That climb is hard.

I finally managed to convince my siblings to join me on a bike ride and we went over to Hunua on Sunday and did the easy ride from the top of Moumoukai Hill Road down to the Clevedon market. Highly recommend if you're in the area, and it was a ridiculously beautiful day for it.

I figure it's just entitled people using them to stop someone else parking there when they leave.

At least federation is doing something with each action. Would be nice if they could be batched, though.

Dumb question: What happens whenever someone spins up a new instance?

I'm in the same boat - zero ads in Sync for Lemmy until this last update. I just assumed the purchase from Sync for Reddit had carried over, but I guess either LJ changed his mind or it wasn't intentional.

Well done! I like to think of myself as an excellent solderer, but every time I try to solder the stupid enamel wires they use in (cheap) headphones it ends up some kind of hideous mess. Next time, I'll have to make new cables from scratch just so I don't have to deal with it.

I sell them for a living, and there's almost no consensus on what they're called. There are a few terms that are popular overseas that we seem to avoid for some reason (I don't think I've heard whipper snipper or string trimmer for example), but everything else is fair game.

I'm mildly surprised OP's laptop keeps the bluetooth radio powered up while asleep, but I would be a lot more surprised to find one that doesn't work with USB HID.
