finally took my coffee grinder apart to clean it. it really needed it. however, I seem to have cross-threaded it upon reassembly, and I can't get it to budge anymore. Not even with a strap wrench will it budge. I popped it in the freezer hoping that cooling the components might get them to contract, but I am highly frustrated at the moment.

it's a compak k3 touch.

one of these:

That's an expensive grinder to ugga dugga

 

[Full Trucker]

Got on the road this morning at a time that I thought was early enough to be just ahead of the interstate ski traffic. gNope... wandered right in to a parking lot. Spent some time suffering and complaining about it, ultimately turned around and went home. Went for a ride instead... beautiful day for it, and a great ride. Might try skiing again tomorrow... or maybe not on a weekend day?

I'm going to buy a ski condo and just rent it to my friends.

Chalk that up to fat fingers on my part.

What time did you leave?

We are giving 5:30ish from Stapleton a try tomorrow…

I'm going to buy a ski condo and just rent it to my friends.

I’ll do this if there’s a downturn. And if I don’t emigrate to New Zealand in the meantime.

I read somewhere that you need to have at least 7 million in fungible assets in order to move there, even with a ‘special skill’ visa.
not sure if it’s true..,but I don’t blame them.

 

[rideit]

Fucking apostrophe?

Is this some new kind of literature porn?

There is a needed skills list that allows for an easier process IIRC.

And that's without a NZ job offer, which is +50 points––I'd ideally work telerads for a US firm still, because loans are loans. I plugged in the 40-49 age range as well as this'd be in 2021ish if it goes down that road.

 

[rideit]

Don’t piss off the immigration officer!
maybe what I was thinking of is becoming a citizen?

It has been a decade since I last looked but my "skills" used to be on the list. Possibly not necessary as I can obtain a British passport, I believe NZ has Commonwealth reciprocity. Brexit could fuck up my ability to go to most of the industrial world.

 

[rideit]

Surely they need an ATM Doctor.

Requirements for Being Granted New Zealand Citizenship

As with Canada, the requirements for citizenship may not be as intensive as one would think:

• New Zealand residence;
• At least 16 years of age;
• Physically present in New Zealand for at least 1,350 days during the five years before your application, and for at least 240 days in each of those five years;
• Ability to read and write in English;
• Understanding the “responsibilities and privileges” of New Zealand citizenship;
• Of good character; and,
• Intention to remain in New Zealand if granted citizenship.

For residence see the whole visa bit above. If lacking such skills then you're probably thinking along these pathways:

Investors

• There are two main investor visas for those wishing to establish residency:
  • Investor Visa
    • Minimum investment of $1.5 million NZD invested in NZ for at least four years;
    • Minimum of three years of business experience;
    • Settlement funds and/or assets of at least NZ$1 million;
    • Aged 65 or younger;
    • Able to read and write English;
    • At least 146 days in NZ for the last three years of the four-year investment period; and,
    • Evidence that funds are:
      • Not subject to any mortgage, lien, charge and/or encumbrance (whether equitable or otherwise) or any other creditor claims;
      • Acquired legally; and
      • Are transferable through the banking system.
  • Investor Plus Visa
    • Minimum investment of $10 million NZD invested in NZ for at least three years;
    • At least 44 days in NZ for the last two years of the three-year investment period; and,
    • Evidence that funds are:
      • Not subject to any mortgage, lien, charge and/or encumbrance (whether equitable or otherwise) or any other creditor claims;
      • Acquired legally; and
      • Are transferable through the banking system.

hunh. Yes, I always thought it was much more onerous. Why on earth aren’t there 500,000,000 people there by now?

 

[StiHacka]

How is it Sunday already? Fuck!
Also, I am too fucking old for fucking homeworks.
A week of job interviews and no booze make <- a dull boy.

 

[Jozz]

It's been absolutely pouring rain since last night here. Starting to flood in spots.

@Jozz have an extra canoe that I can borrow??

We got a fair amount of rain followed by sleet. Freezing rain was a no show.

195, however some of the points are unclear, i.e. I get 70 points for education maybe? - since I graduated before the cutoff year.
