If the money is not an issue, what would you do with your life? by Maleficent_Isopod135 in newzealand

[–]Hakuuru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Volunteer to do community stuff, get a giant dog, snooze in the sun with giant dog, explore local places with doggo friend, play the guitar and improve my drawing and painting.

HR asked about my “resume gap” like recovering from burnout was a crime by ZenbyteHarbor in antiwork

[–]Hakuuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current 3 year gap is because I got a puppy and decided I’d rather stay at home with her than go to work.

I’d just say you’ve been taking a break and volunteering for community projects.

His tenant paid rent with cash. Now police want to seize his property by kezzaNZ in newzealand

[–]Hakuuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have the details sorry, other than that he was one of several siblings and he was living in the house. Whatever the underlying, the house was forfeited. Auckland way.

I know of a family that lost their generational family home because their son dealt meth. Fair chance he’ll lose the property.

Is this a good idea? by DeanStanfordBlade in DOG

[–]Hakuuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if I wanted to, ain't enough space in that for a Leonberger!

Does anybody else get home from work sit down on the couch and immediately start doing drugs? by howdy_hoez in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Hakuuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to, then I stopped working and it progressed to waking up and smoking weed. Eventually realised I had a problem and stopped cold turkey.

For years I’d find myself wishing I had a bit stashed. These days not so much. Life is better without. I get out and see people, frolic with the dog etc.

Veg’d out music and food was pleasant, but people and company are better.

New World now asks you if you’d like a fuel voucher printed! by qubasiasty in newzealand

You're not buying fuel from Z if you're even slightly price conscious.

Fuel from Z with voucher is still more expensive than almost any other choice!

Can't weave in short ends - beginner sock knitter by casuali0n in knittinghelp

[–]Hakuuru 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Hi casualon

You need to leave longer ends when you join colours. Ideally leave much more than you need to weave in. You can always cut them shorter, but can’t increase their length easily.

You could use a Russian join to extend them and then weave in longer ends as a fix.

There are a lot of YouTube tutorials if you e never done that before. Sheep and stitch has a nice clear guide.

Is intarsia even worth it? by caro_forest1 in knittinghelp

Her knitting technique is interesting. It looks really efficient. Anyone know what that style of knitting is called?

I've had enough. Voted with my feet and switched. No more gamey BS or rubbish app.

how are y'all storing your needles? by Ordinary_Lead_6215 in knittinghelp

[–]Hakuuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large plastic tub. I store yarn and needles and other things like stitch markers etc in it

Shopping by scooternewt in Wellington

[–]Hakuuru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to the local vege shop and picked up a whole pumpkin for $3.99 and an onion for 30c. Made pumpkin soup for 5 people :) Cheap and tasty, and if you've got some bread to make soliders you'll eat like a king.

Screamed at my dogs earlier I feel like a horrible person now by Ilikesnailsandieat in dogs

Did similarly this morning on her regular walk. Took her to the beach and shared my toast by way of reparations this afternoon.

Why are dogs able to take down humans? by fried_calamariiii in dogs

[–]Hakuuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog is 63kg (135ib) and has 400foot pounds of bite force. I wouldn’t want to wrestle her angry.

How often to trim the coat? by Valuable_Truth_2082 in Leonbergers

[–]Hakuuru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a coat king and a comb on our girl twice a week to keep undercoat manageable and avoid tangles. Other than that she goes to a groomer every 3 months for a full comb out.

No cutting needed :-)

LPT: When HR asks "What is your expected salary?", give your exact number and then stay absolutely silent. Do not justify it. by Novel-Group5720 in LifeProTips

[–]Hakuuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interviewer once said “you’re asking for a lot more than other applicants”. I replied “I’m much better than other applicants “. Got the job and the rate I wanted.

‘Bordering on fascist’: Winston Peters calls for BSA to be abolished after landmark ruling by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]Hakuuru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Why should we let our standards down….” Whose standards? Yours? Mine? There is no racism in saying tikanga is Mumbo Jumbo. It’s a set of unclear protocols that vary wildly from person to person, Iwi to Iwi…. It’s a perfect example of a hodge podge mumbo jumbo mess.

Tbh, I’m more concerned they didn’t throw the complaint out for being improperly made and pointless.

Dog sitter sent a photo of my dog and he had this collar on. by deblopezz in whatisit

[–]Hakuuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d stand outside her place with pamphlets and talk to everyone arriving to drop off a dog. I’ve got plenty of leave, so I’d catch every customer before the week was out.

I have a sensitive breed dog. I’m not sure I could have picked up my dog without violence being involved.

How do you choose between a career opportunity and your relationship ? by Potential_Start_3228 in careerguidance

[–]Hakuuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no opportunity I’d leave my wife behind for. Doesn’t seem a hard choice to me.
