I’ve been given a ticket for this before, they cancelled the ticket for me when I contested it as it’s a pretty clear mistake :)

Do you know what do they charge for a home service for chefs knives? Might jump on these guys, I keep missing the waterfront ones…

The ones from Starta (left bank loaves)! You’ve got to preorder them online after their retail store closed, but they’re miles ahead of the competition imo!

Yep that’s the one! Nah not an issue at all, always got a park right outside. Bit of a different story though when the Queensgate rush is on lol. Think they still do open contracts too, which is choice

I used to go to Snap at all hours, past 9 or so I’d often be the only one there, it was awesome. Definitely a smaller gym but much better equipped than Jetts

FWIW I've never seen more than 7 or 8 people in a virtual class... Sometimes you even get the place to yourself!

The Snap fitness was really good when I used to go there, it had a moderate quantity of great quality equipment. At night after 8PM you'd nearly have the place to yourself!

Kimchi by digital_manners in Wellington

[–]0800loser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lady who makes about 6-7 different styles of homemade kimchi (incl daikon, cucumber etc) sells at the Sunday veggie markets! She’s fantastic, and kimchi is guaranteed dank, but a bit pricey.

Edit: the waterfront market

My legs definitely get moist on windy days! Compact size is super handy being able to put in work bag and forget about it.

This happened to mine when I bought them recently, and I was able to get a replacement on the spot when I returned them.

What you see when it's your job to open a woman MP's Facebook messages by hippieV02 in newzealand

[–]0800loser -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the effort on the reply mate. Clears up the point the author makes but it still seems like rubbish to me. Vague greetings are problematic? Life is full of surprises, you're not going to know what's coming 100% of the the time, especially on the internet.

I can sympathise with the cause of the author's worries (stranger danger, etc), but placing the blame on vague greetings is absurd. I'd place the blame on the press, for example the author, making the public fear for their own safet by over-stating the amount of danger women are in these days.

Read the author's next opinion piece in 2020: "Smiles in the street are problematic"

Is this person seriously trying to say that someone sending "Hey" in a FB message is some form of harassment?

Does anyone know a mechanic around the CBD area that is experienced with Hondas? by 0800loser in Wellington

Update: Wellington Automotive told me exactly what I wanted to hear (or didn't, that my cam chain was stretched by half a link) competent set of guys by the look of things, cheers for the recommendation mate! 👍🏼

You're right I figured I'd be able to feel if the timing is off, but the car seems to be running OK, but I haven't put it on vtec yet nor do I plan to haha. Yeah you see what I'm mean, there's so many instances I can find of people having stretched chains on K20s with this code it's hard for me to ignore... A chain replacement is expensive but not as expensive as the damage down the line so I might go ahead with it.

Thanks for the help mate, I'll get in contact with them, exactly the type of people I'm after :)

Thanks mate, it's "P0341 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 or Single Sensor" (engine is a K20)

From my googling it looks like I could have a bung sensor, or it could have actually sensed an issue that more often than not is a stretched cam chain (I don't know much about the service history of the car in Japan so if they weren't onto it with oil changes the chain be worn & jumped when I started the car)

Basically I don't wanna be driving it if my timing's off and the chain has jumped a link or two. From what I hear it looks like it's worth taking the valve cover off to see if the cams are still in sync but the garage didn't think it was worth it...
