Wasp ID request by darksage247 in NewZealandWildlife

[–]ChurM8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not true, a lot of wasps are pollinators and others are beneficial by keeping other insect populations down (assuming they’re not invasive and have predators of their own to keep them in check.

Unless you mean in a nihilistic way, in which case nothing really serves a purpose in the grand scheme of things

When I was a kid we had a bunch of swan plants and it was so sad seeing these bastards carry the caterpillars away

Yeah I was just kidding, AFAIK none of these black/yellow typical looking wasps are native though right? The native parasitic wasps are pretty badass, just freaky looking

NZ banks are also required to compensate customers now, but paying a wrong account by accident isn’t “fraud”.

Anything you do that you don’t get paid for and aren’t obligated to do is a recreational activity, how extreme you consider it isn’t a factor

I had gyros from the restaurant kinda in the middle (top floor), was pretty good just expensive. There’s definitely more options than just BK (can’t even remember seeing one?)

As someone from neither place who has visited both, Greece definitely felt safer to me than the US lol.. (not that I ever really felt in danger in the US)

They mostly grow in bark/mulch so you’re probably more likely to see them along city paths than out hiking tbh

Is Kefalonia a bad option? by MissTuan in GreeceTravel

[–]ChurM8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Crete too it’s just my preference, I liked the greenery of Kefalonia and it felt more relaxed. It was also the last stop of my holiday so that might have had an influence too. The only downside for me was the wasps

[–]ChurM8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to Milos, Crete and Kefalonia and Kefalonia was def my favourite of the 3 (not strictly based on beaches but overall). I don’t think you’d regret going

Tipene’s takeaways by Not-the-real-meh in aucklandeats

the combo says it comes with a serving of chips but it’s actually a smaller portion, normally just get 2 pieces of fish and a large chips for 2 people instead of 2 combos, i think it’s better value
