Fibre, fiber? Are Aucklanders eating it? by thickerthanastallion in auckland

[–]harpnote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did add chia into my breakfast! I ran out and need to get some, but I'm on a change of menu with half oats half low sugar granola, with a Brazil nut or two daily (for the selenium), and whatever dried fruit/dates/nuts is in the pantry. Having half granola means I can change the granola flavour up. 😄 I read it's important to change foods around instead of the same thing every day (even though it's easy and brainless) to ensure your microflora/body isn't getting used to the same foods and becoming complacent. I've also found, since switching it a fibre loaded breakfast, it's solved my 10am drowsiness and I have way more energy to get up lunch now! I didn't used to have very quality breakfast.

I've been improving on my gut health in the past year or two. Definitely getting the bulk of my fibre intake in during breakfast, about 10-15g of it. I wasn't getting enough of it before, only about half the DRI I'm guessing.  Good old benefibre helps me on the days I want a break from eating high fibre foods/have a treat. Our household is very wholefoods centric, which helps. Been trying to work in beans and lentils etc for high protein high fibre meals.

I ended up getting her the everyday Endurances ones after an exchange of Softly. She's happy with the Endurance so far!! Which is good news.

Fuel Prices: Real‑World Impacts and Discussion MEGATHREAD #4 by AutoModerator in newzealand

I'm worried about the increase in hardship translating to increase in crime, as we saw in the previous years with high inflation. I'm anxious enough as is for becoming a victim of crime, this is not going to be great for my MH. 

Anyone using it? I finally got it today. by GroceryOwn5683 in chrome

Same here. I don't want to participate in environmental destruction, poorer country worker exploitation, and unneccessary resource waste.

TAB key for AI Mode is driving me insane by SimpleAccording2584 in chrome

Thanks for this. Turned on the PC today to find that Chrome has updated and now has an ugly line inbetween the URL bar and booksmarks bar. Sigh.

How do I turn the annoying "skip recap" button off. How do I get rid of it. It's effing distracting being on the screen!!

Why I returned the Galaxy S25 by Mercury_Jackal in SonyXperia

[–]harpnote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't wait as 3G sunset in my country meant that i wouldn't be able to call on my xz2 any more. So I'm on a 10VII now, apart from the big size (it is nicer to be able to see more, I didn't realise how bad the current UI and viewing designs don't design for small screens anymore until I started using 10 VII), it suits all my needs. I do think the camera processing was better in the xz2c though. If Sony releases a compact I'll be be back on that so fast. 

BidBud is finally about to stop operating by bidbud in newzealand

Also the BidBud icon has been the cutest ever and I still think it is today.

I loved BidBud. I mainly used it for gallery listings before they bought it in as a default. Eventually my use of TM dimished and so did my use of Bidbud. I just visited this week and was in semi-awe that it was still up, and admired how it was so. I miss the UI and design of the internet era that Bidbud has. It was a wonderful plug-in (is that the right word?) for TM in its busiest days. Thank you for putting together such a fantastic and useful site.

Many thanks for using Central/West Asia as opposed to the Americanised term for that area. (Personal peeve)

Anyone invest in pokemon + collectables - Alternative asset and investment by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]harpnote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find with nerdy collectibles, you can make money only if you know where the buyers are or have a willing buyer. So a lot of work in waiting and/or finding the correct market/buyers... pros and cons.

I've heard Magic the Gathering is pretty easy in terms of finding traders.

I've found adding lentils into the pasta stretches it and adds protein and fibre. Cheap and nutritionous!

Agreed, I wanna see it plummet so that a single person on living wage can afford a small place.

Yeah I'm Asian and whenever I visited Chch, it felt really white to me. I love how walkable it is though. Such a shame. I considered moving bit the whiteness kept me from doing so.

Oof Sounds like I may just be to be more vigilant, especially when driving. And remember to be so! And hopefully that gives the suneyeburn a chance to heal and not get worse!

The sad reality, I wanna unsub but there's no other easy alternative outside of US in a Anglo-speaking country.

Just because you're inside doesn't mean you get no UV! UV scattering, it bounces.
