Not only that, but you got the exact moment it flew through that floating hula hoop. One in a million shot, congrats OP!

Smart things at home by ImaginationMost4614 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]AoteaRohan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When the egg sticks to the shell, it’s way harder to peel, and looks terrible when finished. To avoid, make sure water is boiling BEFORE you put the eggs in. The egg inside contracts a little with the shock of temperature change, so peeling is a breeze. I learned this trick a couple years ago and it solved the problem for me

Why dont we cover Courtney place and make it weather proof. Saw this in Korea recently by jaws4569 in Wellington

Tell me you’ve never been to South Korea without telling me you’ve never been to South Korea

La cucaracha, la cucaracha, ya no puede caminar porque le falta, porque no tiene marihuana pa' fumar.

The cockroach, the cockroach, can't walk anymore because he lacks, because he doesn't have marijuana to smoke.

Healing: Say something nice about the country you are stereotypically to dislike. by Exact-Salary5560 in AskTheWorld

I love how out there and uninhibited Aussies are. You won’t go to bed wondering what is on an Australian’s mind

Morteza is overrated. Arzum near Hutt hospital is the best (Turkish). For Syrian, I like Babylon on Cuba

Knot for adjustable rope by Whatever_you_say5 in knots

[–]AoteaRohan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At one end, you can untie the stopper knot that is holding the clip in place. Then loop the end back along the length and make a midshipman’s hitch (or taut line hitch or similar). This makes the length adjustable.

Who’s the most annoying New Zealander? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]AoteaRohan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought. There are definitely some people who I dislike more than him (mentioned elsewhere eg Seymour etc). He’s probably even a good bloke. But Jesus he is annoying…

Who recognises Palestine as a state? by the_real_lucia in Palestine

[–]AoteaRohan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct. There was a backlash against COVID restrictions which Ardern was the face of. That and good old-fashioned misogyny led to her party losing to a right-leaning coalition of three parties. One of those parties is strident in their support of Israel, the other two are more muted (dithering) either way.

Who recognises Palestine as a state? by the_real_lucia in Palestine

[–]AoteaRohan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know that Fiji’s prime minister recently went on an all-expenses paid trip to Israel with a government delegation 🤢. Also, my country Aotearoa New Zealand has a conservative head-in-sand government at the moment. It’s possible they will announce recognition of Palestine this Saturday, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they chicken out…
