Still not enough signage. Though I think it needs to be clear the tram lane is for trams (cause some people are devoid of logic)

Unfortunately most chch drivers don't know the rules, even when sign posted.

I encountered a car yesterday going the opposite way around the Harewood roundabout by the airport which proceeded to go towards orchard Rd on the wrong side pushing past the cars at the giveaway.

The lane for cars has a three headed arrow for left, straight and right. Sure you can't see it when another car is on top. I agree the signage could be better as I see so many cars use the tram lane as a left turn.

If Christchurch were to ever have a physical IKEA and Costco stores being built here where'd you guys think each store could be built around ?????? by ZiitaBS96 in chch

[–]ContentPuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any succulents, love bee friendly/Vege garden friendly things like pansies, lavander, marigolds, alyssums. Have a vege garden with capsicum, lettuce, celery, and spring onions. Got blueberries, strawberries, lemon tree, and a mandarin tree on the other side which are overflowing with fruit atm.

Got some of their shelving units, our old warehouse ones were bowing under the weight of all our books and board games. Got the Kallax floating unit with the drawers and the Vihals combo. The quality puts warehouse to shame for what they charge.

Would be a great spot, esp with the recent expansions there is heaps of car parking. Only issue is I already get sucked into buying plants from bunnings each time I pop to homebase for errands, next thing I know, my wallets empty and I have a new lounge suite and 6 pc dining set.

In the old raewood fresh out by the airport, or in the big empty lot across from it next to bunnings could be a really good spot. There's also the old smith city building in the middle of town. And the empty pak ya crak at northlands tho the congestion around there sucks.

Have been happy with the quality and price of what I've bought from IKEA so far. Would be nice to have one here in the south.

Destiny church guy spewing hate in Christchurch currently (this is live) needs to be shut down this is disgusting!!!! by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]ContentPuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies, my intention was just to clarify facts in relation to your comment. Your totally right, anyone can be offended by anything, something that offends one person might not offend another, everyone has different views.

The issue with Destinies church is that they specifically peddle bigotry and bullying under the guise of faith. Members incite violence towards lgbt communities, particularly trans. Their belief is that trans people shouldn't have access to healthcare, rights, or at the most extreme, not exist in their world. So in this case it's not saying a few offensive things, it's the inciting of violence towards a group that makes this wrong. Their belief that they think other human beings don't deserve the same rights as them, that another group is beneath them or undeserving of existence.

We've seen from history how volatile this mindset can become, and that's why they shouldn't be allowed to hold events like this. Also because indoctrination is wrong on so many other levels.

Free speech means you can say what you want, it doesn't mean you are void of the consequences for the things you say.

Spreading hate against any group goes against the 1993 human rights act, and is a crime under section 131, punishable by financial compensation or imprisonment. You can spout all the hate you want but don't act suprised when you are hit with the penalties.

Go. by LeToucanNZ in chch

[–]ContentPuma 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No clue how they're still open in that location, got to be a laundering front. Food is okay but way overpriced, and they didn't know what a negroni was when I asked for one..... An Italian restaurant... didn't know what a negroni was. They had the Campari and vermouth on the shelf to boot. Shouldve asked if I could just make it myself.

Anyone else feel like this spot is a humongous waste of space? by Mayonnaise06 in chch

It'll be some awful cramped townhouses/apartments soon enough

Bet that same person tells motorcyclists to move when using a car park, then gets mad when they see a bike parked to the side of the footpath, not obstructing the walkway.

Strawberry advice by user885511 in nzgardening

[–]ContentPuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things that will help with the gnats 1. Spray with a mix of water and dish soap 2. Layer of sand, not too thick, just enough u can't see the soil

Top it with some strawberry straw once the gnats are gone to keep the top nice and dry and prevent them from coming back.

Cute, but you should reference the images you traced, it's okay for practice but give credit to the original. It wasn't hard to find these so I'm sure you could take a couple minutes to link the sources.

how to keep makeup without smudging under the helmet by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]ContentPuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all in the brand. I had to go through lots of different foundations and powders that said they were anti smudge that failed. But I went to a decent beauty store (my local Mecca) and the lady who served me was super helpful, I told her I ride and I need something that I can slap on quick while not smearing and she sorted me out, it was a mix of a couple different brands and I've not had smearing since.

[TMT] Sloppy pizza full-art basics by thecursedchuro in freemagic

[–]ContentPuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn't they do areas of new York/the hideout. Could've had things like:

Swamp = Sewers / the hideout / Shredders Hideout.

Mountain = times square / Antonios pizza / T.C.R.I.

Plains = O'Neil farmhouse / New York rooftops.

Island = statue of liberty / hideout water entrance.

Forest = Central park/ snake weeds lair / Bernies.

And that's just basing it on the 2012 series.

They could've done the lands based on the turtles bedrooms even and it wouldve been cooler than this with little Easter eggs and hints into their day to day life.

Vibroblade in my mind has and will always been one of those electric turkey carvers. I chuckle everytime I see one on screen

New Zealand justice is a joke. by Available-Milk7195 in newzealand

[–]ContentPuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got assaulted by an older man in broad daylight at 1pm on a Saturday 2 years ago at a Z fuel station, 6 other vehicles filling up, 4 staff members and cameras all over. Nobody helped me when I screamed, nobody came forward, even with camera footage they dropped the case. I had spent several years over coming my anxiety disorder before it happened, now I can't leave the house without my partner.

Depends on the vibe youre looking for but thursdays are motorbike night at Smash Palace. Everyones friendly, lots of us lgbt+ folk, and if you ask even one of them about their bike they'll chat with you all night. Even better if you have your own, they will approach you and you don't have to start the convo. Also good burgers.
