That time of year again.
With school having wrapped for the year and some free time before I'm returning, it is back to the workshop.
The project continues on, I'm looking for any pc parts that people have laying around or in surplus as I continue to try and build a functioning mid-level or better PC for a family in need.
Last year we got some great pieces but still not a working system yet. If I get more of similar parts, I'll build more than one for another family.
If you have anything or know anyone who does, or are an awesome pc shop that could use some publicity, please reach out as this is a very good opportunity to rake in some good karma for the new year and pay it forward for those in need.
Also accepting any case mods or anything to make it look flash for some lucky family.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
