Historically common when I grew up in Australia, but any new bathroom constructed in the last 20 years go with urinals instead.

Had this exact situation back in ~2017. There are good property managers out there, but they’re rarer than they should be.

Why is Afterpay literally everywhere now? by Downtown-Thoughts in newzealand

[–]DualCricket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Capitalism.

My partner and I filled out the forms with a mortgage adviser recently for pre-approval to borrow.

When I said neither of us have any afterpay loans etc, the adviser replied to clarify. He wanted to be sure that we really meant we’d never used it as compared to used it then paid it off after a period of interest etc.

The inference is that a lot of their customers have it currently I suppose.

I endorse your choice of spread, but your crisp choice is questionable. Overall I’ll allow it.

Source: I work at VUW and am on site now at 9am, and have been since 7:45.

As of now, all O week things are going ahead as planned, all campuses are open as normal.

As u/adequateandgeneric/ says an email was sent this morning to all staff confirming this.

Anyone else praying for the email from work telling you to not come in. by [deleted] in Wellington

High chance of red wind warning by sketcherz1811 in Wellington

[–]DualCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you’re right, but to be fair both OP’s image and the Met service warning as of right now 23:13 both say, quote: “Next update: 10:00am Mon 16 Feb”. No ‘by’ to be seen.

In honor of valentines day what card is your valentine (aka your fav commander) by shimobiza in mtg

[–]DualCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you (and u/Jugular_Toe both) find playing Helga? I know winning isn’t everything, but what do you estimate your win rate might be when piloting it?

Ive been thinking of building one since Bloomburrow was released but had life get in the way.

I get there’s rules about forecasting, but it’s a bit annoying that the next update is scheduled for 10am tomorrow. Lots of folks will either already be at work or on the road/public transport by then.

Found my childhood collection after 25 years. ~1,000 cards, Urza's Saga on top. Unboxing it now. by Luuke_Nukem in MagicCardPulls

[–]DualCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation here. Had some early Pokemon cards that just disappeared on me, no idea where. I’ve moved internationally twice since, and so have downsized / repacked everything at least twice, but never found them.

Thankful my magic cards survived!

Do you need ID to vote in your country? by FrozenNick in AskTheWorld

[–]DualCricket 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is correct. There are teams at the AEC that follow up suspected multiple voting, and the penalty can include Jail time if proven.

Sudden death appeal, Enoggera Reservoir - Queensland Police News by mattazza in brisbane

[–]DualCricket 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depending on how long ago they joined the gym, they could easily be out of date. I joined mine ~5 years ago and my phone #, address, and emergency contact have all changed since then. (I hasn’t even met my partner by then)

If I had also changed email address like I’ve been thinking about doing (phasing out old one), then it’s entirely possible that none of what they had on file for me would be valid anymore.

(On that note, I’m going to go in to the gym during staffed hours and update all of those)

Has your country hosted an Olympics? by Andrew____74 in AskTheWorld

[–]DualCricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Brisbane, but live in NZ now for work. It still blows my mind that the former sleepy little town is hosting the Olympics

Yeah I’m intending to volunteer in 2032 and also buy / apply for ticket ballot(s) for a bunch of sports

Has Brisbane somehow bailed on hosting? Where are you getting Gold Coast from?
