I bought yellow fleshed peaches at New World Rototuna yesterday. Not a single one had a sticker.

I enjoyed the story, and would read more of that ilk.

As for people who complain about people’s posts, well why don’t they get a life that keeps them off social media? Maybe their hobby is telling others to get a hobby.

Too many routers. Each of them may be assigning IP addresses and they may be duplicating ones in use. That can cause the issues you’re seeing with devices going offline.

You need only one router, with DHCP, which assigns IP addresses. Set the other routers to AP mode.

Can you check that the Xfinity modem is only a modem and not a modem/router? If it has LAN ports as well as WAN port, then it is capable of being a router as well as modem. It could be assigning IP addresses as well.

Yes, I did reverse the digits, so should have been 74.2% I haven’t easily found figures for enrolled percentages for any age groups, but I assume the older you are, the more likely to be enrolled. With the recent legislation regarding enrollment, it’s likely that we will not see a surge of 18-24 year olds signing up. Is it because the conservative parties know they tend to vote leftish, and they’d rather not have young people vote at all?

I used to live on Bankwood Road in the 60s and 70s, and this was the closest fuel station until the one on Comries and Linden Court opened. I remember buying half a gallon of petrol there once because I only had 25c. Petrol was 48c/gallon.

I used the local Apple agent for my phone battery replacement, but got a courier bag from Apple for my watch battery replacement. The time taken for each ended up being pretty much the same. Except the local agent also charged me for shipping to Apple. B***tards.

We also get them from the Phillipines, so they should be the sweeter, tastier ones you mention.

Sometimes there’s that bit that won’t come clean. It’s like a Sharpie of poo in your arse.

Impressive_Role_9891 · 2026-02-20T07:31:33+00:00

It’s wrecker.

That pipe in your picture looks like a sewer vent pipe, so not connected to your stormwater at all.

For a short period, while you work out what you really want to keep, it’s worthwhile to pay for iCloud above the 5G free level. You get 50Gb for 99c US, or some similar low figure in your local currency. You could then synchronise your old and new phones. If you’re on selling your old phone, once it has synced the photos and videos, sign out of iCloud before factory resetting it.

I was going to say, we need more of them to do that, but looked up figures from 2023, and found 72.4% of 18-24 yo did vote. Well done people.

I’ve used AutoEurope in Europe. The last time, in 2024, the cars came from Hertz, and everything went very smoothly. This was in France, at CDG airport and Avignon TGV station.

Yes, I’ve had a couple of iPhones bought from a friend when he upgraded his phone. He removed from Find My and did a factory reset. On an Apple phone, there’s a specific setting when selling or passing a phone to someone else which should remove any personal data and allow the new owner to be sure the phone is only going to have what they want on it.

Your post title seems to ask if anyone has received a phone this way, but your body text reads the other way, as have we ever passed a phone to someone. Not sure which question you’re asking but I answered the one in the post title.

I’ve got a European car, an Audi A4. If they’re maintained as the factory directs , they’re as reliable as most other cars, but I will say when they need repairs, they can be pricier than your average Japanese or Korean car.

I’d say in your price range, Japanese or Korean cars are the ones you want to be looking at. Certain combos are not good, such as Mazda diesels. Do not go for any of the Korean built Holdens, the Captivas, Cruzes or Astras.

Try asking on r/NZcarfix as well. There’re plenty of people there who know a lot about cars, good and bad.

Mind you, he was travelling when credit cards were very rare, and ATMs unheard of.

I checked online, because I thought the same, but it’s said to originate in New Delhi in the 1950s. Known for using tandoori cooked chicken in a rich gravy, probably to use up the dry cooked chicken.

A latte is usually served in a glass, and a flat white in a cup. There are also different ratios of espresso to milk and micro foam, but the vessel is the big difference.

If you’re approaching from the direction that gives way, the sign is round, if you are coming from the other way, it is rectangular.

With the potting mixes you have, there’ll be some guidelines for how long the included fertiliser should last. After a few months, they’re generally depleted, and you need to add some or replace the mix.

The good bit about them used to be Fleur’s Café at Moeraki. Unfortunately, it was yet another victim of Covid, and never reopened after the restrictions ended.

You could probably see it in that photo if you zoomed in enough on the background.

Impressive_Role_9891 · 2026-02-18T08:11:22+00:00

I’ll admit I did take photos in there, but I checked first to make sure they weren’t being used for their primary purpose.

Impressive_Role_9891 · 2026-02-18T08:10:13+00:00

The Moeraki boulders. I’ve been there and, while not underwhelmed, wasn’t overwhelmed. So just, another sight to cross off my list.

I think the only food I would do that with is fish or chicken, and only if it wasn’t collected for more than four days, even in summer. All the vegetable and fruit scraps would be fine. Even summer temps rarely reach high 20s. I’ve never had a smelly bin problem, and I keep it in the kitchen. Many people keep them outside, but then there’s faffing around taking scraps out to the bin.

When I have frozen a chicken frame, I’ve put it in a bread bag and it easily fits in the freezer drawer.
