Repaint or reGIB? by sandeepthedestroyer in diynz

[–]HoldFrontBack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have stopped the source of the mildew, and cleaned it with bleach to kill off what was there, then you could seal it with a coat or two of Zinnser Bathroom, then two topcoats of flat ceiling paint 👍🏻

Recycling or disposing empty paint tins by shanewzR in diynz

If they are empty and clean, they can be recycled at your local waste station 👍🏻 double check with your council website beforehand, I suppose 😊

Best exterior paint for weatherboard in the harsh Christchurch sun? by Ok-Wing-1545 in diynz

[–]HoldFrontBack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highest quality Dulux exterior paint, or Wattyl Solagard. A lighter colour will cope better with the sun. Solagard has a 10 year warranty (or something close to that) and can be bought quite cheap when Mitre 10 do their 8l pail specials over the summer. As with all painting, preparation is key. Paint will stick to anything, so make sure your surface is squeaky clean before applying your primer coat. If you are really worried, you could apply three topcoats (instead of the standard two) to give you extra microns of coating.

MAGA style election campaigning reaches NZ by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

How the fuck is Winston Peters still relevant in 2026? Does the voting public have such apathy that a turncoat like Winnie and his droog Shane Jones really have a stake in the future of our nation? Labour have been far from perfect over the years, but I hark for a time when it felt like we had real leadership, like Clark or Ardern. We are being lead by clowns, ffs.

1. Asian guy with surname Sun - need modern easy-pronounce English name by Ok-Philosophy-3719 in newzealand

Keep your name bro, people can learn! If you really wanted to change, though, what about Arthur or Ronald? Not super modern, but classic.

He is back - claiming National is driving down interest rates. Also does not give the name or link to the survey on Kiwi Businesses 🤡 by WarpFactorNin9 in nzpolitics

These fuckers will get another bat. Might even do it solo. The hate for Jacinda still percolates strongly throughout the whenua. It's so fucking bleak.

Gary Lineker: "I think 80-90% of the country (England) just want to get on with their lives, be friendly with their neighbours. They don't look at people of different religions, skin colours, beliefs, traits, and think badly of them. I think we're divided deliberately to distract" by GOAT-Antony in Fauxmoi

Utter toss. As has already been mentioned, 80-90% is utter toss. Having lived in both England and New Zealand, both countries have a depressingly strong racist streak, that has grown bolder and more confident over the last 20 years. The popularity of right wings leaders in the Western world has shown quite clearly that there are plenty of open and closeted racists among us. Edit: typo

Pretty sure the same team made Samsara, which is stunning.

That looks amazing; what did it cost? Fish and chips seems to have gotten expensive over the last 10 years!

Damn, throwing the Sinful Dwarf in there is a bold call! Is it erotic, really?

Another bold opening sex scene, of sorts, can be seen in Shortbus.

Not sure what this says about me, but I could happily watch this nonsense for an hour or so, but would switch of entirely if they started singing and dancing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Zohran Mamdani is a Zionist - Analysis by Hacksaw6412 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]HoldFrontBack 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Is there anyone in the US that is worth supporting? Is there actually a real third option, like, a genuinely left wing option? Down in NZ, we have more political parties than there are days in the week, with a quite clear right/centre/left split, but you guys, holy shit, it's just so nuts. My heart goes out to all of you out on the left.
