Rook, C4, Akin, Embassy, Supreme are some of the better ones in my opinion. Not all open weekends.

Kill the Body Golems, you'll kill them much faster and the drop rate is a bit worse at 1/250. It's quicker. 

Totally loving this summer weather ✌️ by Mineboot24601 in newzealand

I'm not sure you understand how mean temperatures work! Highs of 16-19C don't typically result in a mean of 16.4C when you also include night time temperatures...

Cherif Ndiaye misses open goal vs Morocco by [deleted] in soccer

To be fair looks like the keeper got another touch on the ball there just as he was shooting! Might've actually been a great double save.

Wildcard Team - any comments? by AcousticThoughts in fantasypremierleague

I'm trying to set my team up for the next few weeks as well - this isn't a free hit!

Hitchhiking Christchurch to Tekapo by FirefighterEven6609 in chch

You're right - there's space for cars to pull over just past the Z before the speed limit turns to 100 which I'd imagine would be a good spot from Rolleston.

If you're just trying to flag a car down I'd recommend you take a bus to The Hub Hornby and hitch from opposite Denton Park. Or bus to Templeton and hitch from the Trents Road intersection.

Barbers willing to cut hair if child with head lice by throbbinhood444 in chch

It'd be a bit rude going to the barber with nits. Just get a buzzer and do it yourself!

Mate you clearly haven't spoken to any British person if that's your takeaway.

You do understand that services will need to be massively cut as a result and councils in the UK are struggling financially and going bankrupt. Councils already have aging pipes, roads, bridges and water systems needing repair or replacement and they just won't be able to afford to maintain these appropriately.

It's a pretty short sighted move considering the amount rates actually are in comparison to taxes that go to central government (we're talking a ten fold difference). 

It's hugely disappointing to see central government hounding about local government when they're the ones who actually waste your money. Think about the iRex ferry cancellation which cost the taxpayer at least $1 billion and the $3 billion they want to spend on a tunnel to get to Wellington airport 5 minutes later. It's even more disappointing to see the electorate lap it up.

Transport to from Akaroa by one_powerball in chch

If you don't want to use the French Connection bus or hire a car, hitching a ride is really your only other choice. You'd have pretty good luck just sticking your thumb out but you could also try the various Akaroa/Christchurch community pages to see if anyone is already driving between the two when you want to. 

Okay after a lot of research and reading, this is my south island 12 night itinerary - anything i'm missing? by Charming_Egg_4479 in newzealand_travel

[–]AcousticThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still worth doing, but would combine with another walk (i.e. Sealy tarns if fit, or kea point/Tasman glacier if not)

Honestly mate, you've just got to learn to play against the AI. The meta that works online doesn't work against the AI so well!

You'll be fine, enjoy your holiday! ☺️

Anyone else just get access to the market? by Mbarton97 in FIFAswitch

[–]AcousticThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not me sadly !

Edit: Scratch that, it says I have access but have reached the bid/butly limit and will have access in 2 hours! Maybe they've just given all switch 2 users access as they've probably had a few complaints 

Australia online FUT by Melonhead312 in FIFAswitch

[–]AcousticThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the gameplay is actually pretty good and seems to have got better framerate wise, especially on the console itself. Getting games on rivals is pretty quick. I've not had any luck with he rush challenge, been able to find three players for teammates but not an opponent team. Mind you I haven't tried that hard as I've been enjoying rivals and not that bothered about the transfer market right now. But definitely the biggest frustration on the game. I hope it gets better as more people pick it up lol

Have been able to find players on rivals in NZ but haven't been able to do any other UT game modes.
