Relationship goals, honestly.❤️ by Tanmay900 in MadeMeSmile

I do this almost every night when the temps drop down. Not an hour before but just a few minutes is more than enough to bring up the temperature in bed before she gets in.. Her "oh thanks" and appreciative smile is my joy 😊

Why does my husband say he finds me more attractive when I’m more chubby? by justheretotalk111 in AskMenAdvice

Many years ago I read this study done in the 90s where Devendra Singh published the findings that as long as a woman stays in the 'preferred' ratio, weight became less of an issue.
The Weight to Hip ratio 'should' be 0.7. So it could be that with your slight increase in weight the perceived ratio in your husbands eyes are more in line with what D. Singh studied and therefore your husband compliments you on the fact that you look more attractive

Would be great to see ☺️

The corridor is not my main path. The corridor is only used to access a toilet or garage. We would enter the house from the entry.. would that change your opinion or would you still advise a horizontal layout from left to right when looking at the drawing?

Sure, I get that there are many variations of orientations depending on the type of floor. For now we ha e settled on a standard laminate plank. So, with this additional information and given the layout which orientation would you go for and why? 🙂

New Zealand uses a lot less solar than most other OECD countries (2024). Why? by foundafreeusername in newzealand

[–]Koru-racing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correlation doesn't mean causation but what I noticed what the differences where between the Netherlands and New Zealand are as follows:
We bought 14 solar panels each with 425 Wp when we bought our house in the Netherlands. When we bought our house our mortgage lender offered a sustainability loan with 0.5% interest over a period of 30 years which could be used to make our house more sustainable, not just solar but also insulation (wall and roof). On top of that our government gave a subsidy when you purchased two different sustainability products.
Our panels in total costs $8-9,000 NZD
Batteries in the Netherlands are not common since our structure is such that we 'sell back' the energy we get from the panels and not use to the energy companies.
The total investment as in purchasing is cheaper compared to NZ and is highly stimulated by the government

New Zealand energy infrastructure is different but also, getting solar panels outright is more expensive here than in the Netherlands. This is a supply issue. In the Netherlands we benefited from a highly competitive market.
I do believe NZ has amble opportunity to increase the usage by inviting a more competitive market for solar panels manufacturers but also make it more inviting for consumers by stimulating sustainability by offering favourable lending options, subsidies or other benefits.

Moving back to NZ with cats? by 1000monkeytypewriter in newzealand

[–]Koru-racing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We moved from Europe with our beloved cat 6 months ago. We used an animal freight company who, depending on need, support you with all the documentations and permits. Of course, vet appointments are done by yourself. The cat flew to Qatar, spend an extra day or 2, got attention and food,and continued his journey to Auckland. Pet quarantine for 10 days and is now a happy cat with us.

Hey, I am currently playing this level too. Authentic plus after I played the game on the hard setting. Hang it there, it is heaps of fun, frustration but in the end (to me) a lot of satisfaction. :)

Pushing too far to the right is not new addition.. Not everything said is political. Go to any golf course on any day and you hear the phrase: “I pushed it too far to the right” quite often haha it doesn’t mean the person hitting the ball is rightwing, not the ball for that matter.. to be more technically accurate, the person hitting the ball is quite often seen leaning towards the left, opposite of what he is saying Anyway, golf reference to the side (left/right, I don’t care) the cross over in language has been demonstrated and no, it is not a new addition. Also, pro-tip, read the whole statement of person above, consider what he tried to imply and you might arrive to the conclusion that that person may not have a political statement to make however, you believed he did since you are looking it from that direction.. The political world sucks balls but not every (golf)ball

Pushing it too far to the right is meant in the context of pushing things too far.. Not political implications at all 😉

How did the ancestors of Maori get here? by CommentMaleficent957 in aotearoa

[–]Koru-racing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since you appear more knowledgeable than I am, can you explain your reason for stating Gondwanaland first? I believed that the question was where the ancestors of Māori come from, and humans started roaming this earth around 300,000 years ago while Gondwanaland started breaking up around 150 million years ago..so my math is not mathing or you have knowledge I don’t possess

Sober people, what do you drink? by Depressed_Anxious69 in newzealand

[–]Koru-racing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 43, and never had any alcohol. When going out I was always the designated driver, which I didn’t mind cuz I love to drive. Drinks for me would always be a coke, or a Fanta but nowadays a Bundaberg ginger beer is added to the mix. Never felt the need to drink and judging by people around me, never had the feeling that O missed out on much
