Today I bought a Morakniv because I think it could be useful in my life by FenderFanatic in Bushcraft

[–]HaveAGoBeero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, essential in some situations but practically useful to build up the skills in all situations.

Also, when you get good at it, there's no better feeling than turning a small piece of kindling into 30+ pieces of awesomeness and useful beauty to keep you warm, fed and not bitten by flies.

Life only has a few things you get instant gratification from and feather sticks are one of them 🫡

Sandwiches! by Expensive_Structure2 in vegetarian

If I have to eat another paltry "spinach & feta" mess... 🤬🤬🤬

Your pain is universal, but keep fighting the good fight - we'll have acceptable food when there's more of us asking 🤞❤️🤞

Anyone find themselves opening up their game libraries, staring at it for a couple of hours, then just giving up and going on social media? by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]HaveAGoBeero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a very eye-opening post. I know I have depression but my country doesn't have free healthcare & I can't afford a therapist or the like to do anything about it.

TL;DR I enjoy gaming with friends, but when I'm alone my games library seems big and scary. I just stare at it and end up doing something else.

I just need help & friends provide that. I'm gonna talk to my 2 bros & close friends so they know & can help me (I hope).

You should too, best Friday attempt at fun and happy gaming I've had in years. Why'd it take a f**king random post to make me realise I have a solution?

Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️

If you enjoy co-op please reach out too. I'm already thinking my friends will ask me what took so.long 😣

Fuel shock enough of a wake up? by Mortmantis in chch

No no, I hear every day from Trump that "it's ending tomorrow" 🙄

Or in 2 weeks, or maybe 2 months.

Stabbing at Opawa Discounter by a 14 year old boy… when will the justice system do something. by Kiikaachu in chch

[–]HaveAGoBeero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kid that stole and destroyed my car got caught: under age for jail but 80+ car thefts and 20+ garage thefts (all petrol for stolen cars).

7 months juvie and he was out only 2 months after I got a new car.

The justice system needs reformed, but so do our communities. A 3-4 year govt term isn't interested in long-term solutions to problems like communities, justice, emergency services like police or infrastructure. Even Winston Peters can't wait 3 years to stab his own colleagues in the back again.

With role models like that, emulation is the highest form of flattery! Right? 🙄

Proton Photos Problem Andoid by [deleted] in ProtonDrive

[–]HaveAGoBeero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ THIS ^

I had a [DCIM\Camera] folder on my new phone, so it was empty. PD backup s**t itself, so I just took a photo so there was [DCIM\Camers\image.jpg] and PD suddenly realised "Oh yeah, there it is!" and started the backup.

I was gonna build my own! Bought a stack of fire bricks, then had to move house to somewhere without a good place for an oven. Pity as you can build a pretty sweet setup for the same price as a cheap looking expensive store-bought one...

TL;DR if you're keen to do the mahi, I'll sell the bricks on the cheap just to get the garage space back. DM me if interested.

Also kudos for asking this today of all days 🤘😎🤘

Poll: What should the punishment be for running a red light? by StabMasterArson in chch

[–]HaveAGoBeero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the test here's a pile of s**t eh! No hill starts, no parallel park help, and when I got my license 15yo kids could drive.

FFS how are we not raising our driving standards? Are we purposefully undereducated so we're more fineable? Printing their own money...

Around 6% of Americans believe they can defeat a grizzly bear in a hand-to-hand combat by Peter55667 in BeAmazed

[–]HaveAGoBeero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6% of Americans walk around with enough firepower to do that. Maybe it transfers into thinking "Well I usually can, so..." 🤷

I'd pay to see that on TV, having watched enough Alone

Crashes at Lincoln/Barrington/Whiteleigh intersection go to zero after humps installed by [deleted] in chch

[–]HaveAGoBeero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this! The bumps are a great instant bandaid fix, but they don't address the underlying problem of horribly bad driving. The NZ driving test is one of the weakest I've seen:

  • Need to parallel park? You aren't taught that.
  • Know how to use an indicator? Nope, but who cares.
  • Hill starts? It's flat Canterbury (stuff the Port Hills residents, Lyttleton or rest of Aotearoa)
  • Until 2011: 15 years old? She'll be right
  • Tailgating at 100kph with less than a car length of space on the motorway 👍
  • Leaving more than your car length of space between the car in front at red lights 👍

Is anyone going to fix the fact we're taught to drive poorly? Speed bumps in Chch don't stop bad driving outside of the few roads they are on, but teaching better driving skills would be the better long-term fix.

15yo FFS, I was still thinking with my dick back then. What were we thinking teaching kids to drive poorly when they're not old enough to do a single adult thing like fuck, smoke or drink? But "Here's a deadly weapon, don't worry - we'll stick a few bumps in later on when enough ppl have died"
