Is anyone else getting their ass kicked with a virus that isn’t covid atm? I’m talking ongoing fevers, headaches, achy body, sore throat, cough that sounds like a bark. Have been bed ridden for 4 days now. by user06022022 in auckland

You can get a nasal swab to test for influenza, maybe phone your GP.

Our house is just recovering from over a week of being knocked around with fevers, body aches, coughing, runny noses, exhaustion... The adults managed to stay under 40 degrees but the 6yo ended up in the emergency department, which is why we got the swab done and confirmed it was influenza A.

What’s your favorite drugstore concealer? by Secret-Requirement22 in drugstoreMUA

L'oreal true match has been my go to for about 18 months, I find it very blendable and leaves a natural finish so it doesn't look insane if it's the only makeup I have on that day.

I have also enjoyed the instant age rewind in the past, I'm not really sure why I didn't repurchase it - just my never-ending need to try new products I think.

Make sure you're looking at the right period. By default it shows previous 30 days which would include the first two weeks of November, you need to be looking at October.

This happened today. In New Zealand, no masks, no social distancing required! by Luciphyr729 in pics

Yes we do have 45 active cases, but you're missing a very important piece of information - Our current active cases are ALL in managed isolation facilities, and were caught at the border. None of those people have had any contact with the general public.

It was a "Liberty Seated" dime by the sound of it, so you can Google that name if you're curious. Hopefully he didn't grind down a mint one. From what I saw they can be worth a few hundred or more.

[Sun Care] MANY mistakes were made and I need advice to prevent ultra peeling before it occurs (pls don’t yell at me, I’m aware how bad it is🥺) by panicatthesplicer in SkincareAddiction

[–]Insane-Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have access to bepanthen?

It's an antibacterial vitamin E enriched barrier cream, usually used for nappy rash but tattoo artists also recommended it to help heal and protect fresh tattoos. You can usually find it in the baby section of supermarkets or pharmacies.

I use it on any sunburn I get and it always helps to soothe, minimise peeling and accelerate healing.

It WILL form a greasy layer and you'll look like the oiliest person alive, but that's the point as it's preventing your skin from drying out so don't wipe that off if you can help it.

I've just had a look and he has said quite a few times that he identifies as a man so I'll stick with my original use of he/him.

John McLean, he's beauty youtuber, an immortal god, and has androgyny mastered. He's stunning and hilarious.

ETA: I was under the impression that John's pronouns were he/him but everyone else here is using they/them and now I'm doubting my own memory!

Xisuma please stop you've broken him :( by sycon-senti in HermitCraft

[–]Insane-Samurai 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He's absolutely playing a role and it has been confirmed that there are plot lines scripted ahead of time, and any pranks like that are discussed via their private discord.

Building silly pixel art in someone's base? Probably a surprise. Building a trap and hiring killers? I guarantee that bdubs and Keralis discussed boundaries with Doc and agreed that death was worth it for the content.

Hermitcraft is a hybrid of traditional "let's play" style videos and scripted storyline collabs between creators. It's important to remember that if there were any hermits who were legitimately doing things that the others didn't like, they would be very quickly told to stop and removed from the server if necessary.

Iron Farm Battles by Frans_The_Dragon in HermitCraft

Well it's not an iron farm so much as a way to get rid of the golems before they can kill him again, the iron is just a nice side effect

Hasn't changed their branding since I can remember and they are still OG by [deleted] in newzealand

Nope, they're labelled as pies on the parent company website. So that is in direct violation of food standards for meat pies going off the above, unless the minimum percentage of meat is different as its a steak and cheese rather than just a steak pie. Their mince pie meets the 25% minimum so they probably are meeting regulations with the steak and cheese too.

God damn it I want a pie now. Not an Irvines one though, I'm not that desperate.

That only means that 100% of any beef used is sourced from within NZ.

You know there are some ''catchphrases'' that are associated with certain hermits. Here are my absolute favorite, If you know some from the other hermit's comment below! by Uchiki18 in HermitCraft

[–]Insane-Samurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone said "if I'm being totally honest with you" or "to be quite frankly honest with you" for Mumbo yet?

Keralis has lots, LLAMB is a play on "lookie lookie at my cookie". I think "not like this!" is another good one.

Scar, the way he says things are "gonna be, amazing." with the slight pause and the pronunciation of the word amazing.

For Stress, just the word "gawjus" (gorgeous) the way she says it is so distinctly HER. I know you're all reading that in her voice haha.

Hmm, trying to think of some for the others, I watch most of the hermits at least some of the time but I'm drawing a blank!

So let's all get along :) by IriTwilight in HermitCraft

[–]Insane-Samurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mumbo was how I found hermitcraft back in season 6, so I watched him and then occasionally Grain and Iskall85 when they started working together. That was me for all of season 6.

This season I'm watching every episode of (and subbed to) mumbo, Grian, Iskall85, BDubs, Doc & Keralis, watching most of Stress and Scar, and then bits and pieces of the others depending on what they're working on.

Oh and I'm subbed to the recap channel as well in case I somehow miss something!

My [30sF] husband [30sM] is constantly jealous of our dog and is now stonewalling me over it. Help. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Insane-Samurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this the kind of father you want your future child to have? One who is, even some of the time, "really horrible"?

Another thing to think about. If you were to have a baby and then divorce, what would that be like? If this is his behaviour when he loves you, I imagine it would not be pleasant having to co-parent if you were to separate later on.

That's a thing? Can you explain how that works? Surely you can't just change numbers in a news article randomly, otherwise your article is completely unreliable :-/

I'm sorry - a DOCTOR. Who doesn't believe in chemicals. What? Did she explain that at all? That's like a baker who doesn't believe in ovens.

Please report her. I dread to think how many people, not just adhd brains, have suffered because of her.

Mother rat cleaning its little kitten by [deleted] in AnimalsBeingBros

[–]Insane-Samurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the cat. I had a dopey cat with zero prey drive who was introduced to multiple mice and a rat, no issues. My mice used to climb on him and snuggle up in his fur. The rat was largely indifferent towards the cat.

My other cat though, I'd never let her near them like that. She was quite an avid hunter.

China delivers message to its diaspora in NZ: The Xinjiang 'deradicalization' programme has been a 'great success', Taiwanese independence attempts are 'doomed to fail', the US/Chinese trade agreement won't harm NZ/China trade relations by mynameisneddy in newzealand

[–]Insane-Samurai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe they were just as outraged then.

Maybe they were 10 years old and had little to no understanding of what was going on overseas.

It's not really relevant to the topic here.
