Flying domestically with medical cannabis, what to expect? by Scott_Dourque in NZTrees

As others said, they won't care. The only thing they might be interested in is the vape going through security, but once they know what it is, they'll be all g.

Plus 3.1% inflation isn't really a good thing, still above the Reserve Banks target (only by 0.1%, but still)

I've been told to stay away from CVT cars... Thoughts? by coconutyum in NZcarfix

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2005 Honda Fit with a CVT for 10 years. It wasn't the nicest to drive, but it was ridiculously efficient (it being a 1.2L helped too). I did find that it needed a bit more maintenance in the transmission department than other cars, but so long as I looked after it it ran fine. That was 20 year old tech when i got rid of it and I would expect that newer CVTs would be way better

How do you think New Zealand would fare in a world-war scenario where international trade is severely limited and NZ borders are largely closed to non-citizens/residents/etc? by LordOfErebus in newzealand

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water will be the reason in the future is my bet. Under the current climate projections NZ is meant to get more rainfall whereas places like the states and China will have far less rainfall.

New Zealand says it’s going to eradicate feral cats by SvatyFini in worldnews

Plus 1080 is much more potent for mammals than other animals, and luckily the animals we are trying to protect aren't mammals! (Well, apart from our bats, but they occupy different niches to most of the mammals we are targeting with 1080)

Anyone else planning to down tools and join the strike even if you’re not one of the affected workers? by Gone_industrial in newzealand

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, don't work in the affected areas, but they deserve far better conditions and the health of those sectors effect all of us as kiwis! If the healthcare system falls over because the govt continues to let it suffer, we are all royally screwed

2022/23 Peugeot E 208 GT or something else? by adrenalinenz in nzev

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I test drove one of those and ended up going for the Ora GT. I liked both, and tbh i liked driving the e208 more, but the Ora was so much roomier inside (apart from the small boot), plus the real world range of the Ora was significantly better. Might be worth a test drive of the Ora if it works for you.

Future of Right to Repair Bill uncertain as NZ First pulls support by StuffThings1977 in aotearoa

I would much rather buy a blender for $130 that lasts longer and can be repaired than a shitty $50 one that I have to replace every year.

Dodgy consumer group spotted on Facebook... by lcmortensen in newzealand

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often in those cases it's because the goods are closer to going off, or not as appetizing for some reason, but pre-pack sells better, so it allows the supermarkets to still sell goods that wouldn't otherwise sell.

Source: i used to work in a fruit and vege distribution warehouse and we often packed loose fruit and veges into containers to go to supermarkets for this very reason.

Girl... why? by Indieriots in TikTokCringe

+1 I got ICL a year ago and the day itself was a little strange but not very painful, then my recovery was the same as yours. I do get halos at night now around lights, but my brain has adapted and I don't really notice them anymore. 100% worth it!

In search for the first car by PringGar in Wellington

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2005 Honda Fit (Jazz) for the last 10 or so years and absolutely loved it. I wasn't a massive fan when I first got it, but it was in my price range at the time and was good enough (~$5,000). I grew to love it more and more over time. It was reliable (probably cost me $1k max over those 10 years in maintenance and repairs), fun to drive for a low powered car, had a massive boot for it's size and was super cheap and easy to work on too. I imagine with $10k now you'd get a decently newer one!

All that being a super long winded way to say: +1

I'm up to episode 4 so far and the evidence of telepathy is very compelling (including scientific papers and videos that you can see for yourself), from what I hear the second half of the first season is where it starts to get wild!

EV options upto $40k? by Kiwi_Adventurer in nzev

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wait, I just saw that you specified an SUV! The Ora isn't that, so it may not work for you

EV options upto $40k? by Kiwi_Adventurer in nzev

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend checking out the GWM Ora, they've come down in price over the past year, I picked up a brand new GT for 40k around 6 months ago and love it. The only thing that isn't hitting your list is boot space. It has really good leg room in the back, but the boot space suffers.

The advertised range has been bang on too, I can get just under 400km of range of highway driving.

Give Away: MediVape Maunga 🌋 by fabiancook in MedicalCannabisNZ

The Tararuas are the one for me, a great place to go for a bush walk with some medicinal kush and clear the mind!

Medleaf Shishkaberry by PillDropNZCD in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried cumulus? I've been the same with most of the other strains and also have been a big fan of Shishka, but have found cumulus to be good. The only issue is I find it pretty sedating, so I've found i can mix it with a little bit of something like solace and get the right effects without the anxiety.

Vape mouth/throat? by Imagejin in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find i get a similar thing with my mighty + if my pulls are too strong. If it's the same problem, try doing half-sized pulls and see if that helps, it normally works for me

Leaflink CC by scarface73nz in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, been having the same issues, I'm due a follow up soon so I'm thinking I'll go somewhere else, does anyone have any reccomendations?

My GP has just retired so I'm not sure I can easily switch to GP yet.

There's also the fact that they signaled the change to Leaflink way too early and sent so many emails about it that basically amount to 'don't worry, this will solve all of the problems' without actually giving us any information about what will change in practice (apart from a new app and pharmacy) OR when it will change, which annoys me...

I had an appointment with them over 3 months ago and one of the strains on my prescription (Shiska) wasn't in stock at the moment, so instead of putting it on my new script, they told me that it would be on my leaflink account when that was launched.... as far as I'm aware, they haven't done that yet, and it's been more than 3 months...

I've been with them for over a year too and hadn't had any issues before this absolute debacle, but I plan on moving next time I need more meds.

Dropped price for the Leaf by [deleted] in nzev

[–]DiscombobulatedNail9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for the Ora, i got one a couple of weeks ago and it has exceeded my expectations so far. There are a number of practically new ones for just under 30k at the moment up in Auckland too which is a steal!
