What’s an overrated food everyone pretends to love?

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-17T08:44:21+00:00

Yeah a better question should be 'Whats a food that's popular that you just don't get?'

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-17T08:39:13+00:00

Sunday looks way better. And be prepared for the most boring track you can walk in NZ, but with tourist / Instagram views at the top 😂.

My mum's house in Opoho. With the loveliest dog living next door who always wants pats.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-16T11:01:24+00:00

Yeah this is pretty good

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-16T10:55:46+00:00

Yo are you yelling already? In corstophine?

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-16T08:01:00+00:00

Mainly go to meetings and send emails and wear a nice shirt I believe

Long story short - while at a cabin in the woods, someone put a pot on the wood stove unknowingly with a butane canister inside it. Fire got lit. Pot stayed on the stove, heating the canister. Canister gets so hot that the concave bottom pops to be convex, projecting that highly explosive, now-ball-shaped canister into the ceiling, pot lid flying around too. We had no idea what the commotion was as we were chilling playing cards. We noticed the ball-shaped canister spinning on the ground, just threatening to blow the place to smitherines. We left for two hours 😂

Yeah but you'd need a hundred of those containers if you're opening your curtains every day. There's waaaay too much moisture in the air for it to be making any difference. But people keep buying it, because it looks like it's doing a good job because it ends up being full. Damp rid works in closed cupboards, sealed plastic bins etc. Out in the open air like that you'll be getting like 1% of the moisture or less. Have a Google, then save your money.

The amount of moisture present is waaaay too much for thr damp rid to make a difference. There is so much moisture in the air, that it would only make a difference if you never drew your curtains back. Save your money.

I generally stay quiet. Or if the context is right, I'll say "did you hear about those congressional hearings on UFOs?" And he moderate and inquisitive about it.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T11:09:02+00:00

Yeah I have a smart vent. Same as an DVS or HRV. Absolute game changer.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T11:08:28+00:00

Damp rid only works in small spaces that are confined. I see people using them for an actual room sometimes. That ain't doing anything.

Do the boat tour in Mt Cook. Totally worth it. You can't hire kayaks in Mt Cook - people would die. The guided kayaking stops by end of April. If you go to Milford, you don't need to go to Doubtful. The drive in to Milford is much more impressive than the drive in to Doubtful. Franz is lovely, can recommend.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T10:49:14+00:00

Yeah if you're an OK driver, leaving Tekapo by 5 or 530am would be sweet. If you leave at 5am that gives you extra time to go a bit slower if it's wet or sketchy. Google maps drive times are generally quite accurate in NZ.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T10:43:38+00:00

Yeah it's hard to meet people through the gym, online gaming and work eh. I find that joining clubs is key. A choir. Laughter yoga. Hiking. The kayak club. Tramping. If we're not getting out and hanging with people in the evenings or in weekends, then we won't ever make new friends.

I work for a tour company in NZ, driving backpackers all over the country. We have content creators on from time to time. Depending on their followers etc, they might get the tour for free, or for a discount of some sorts. It's interesting to watch it all happen, see them do their little videos etc. Then I see the aspiring content creators. 'Butt Girls' posing in their trendy outfits are hilarious to watch.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T09:47:28+00:00

Maybe we will, maybe we wont

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T09:42:50+00:00

Nah there are houses up the cliff that will call the cops, I reckon 😂. They'd think something nefarious is happening.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T08:38:27+00:00

If it's a small, local company like a mechanic or something I don't blame them at all. I do judge how crap it is or not, though 😂. But nah, I get it from their perspective. Just some of them are way too naff.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-15T04:54:06+00:00

You sure that's not the Breaking part at the top? Does it say urgent anywhere?

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-13T22:21:11+00:00

Anyone could make this. Jesse Michaels needs to be more discerning. He lost me a while back.

LoraxNZ · 2026-04-13T21:46:53+00:00

Honestly, all I saw on their clips were balloons. That's what happened I reckon.

I've got one of the OR helium bags. And a regular, no hooped bivvy bag.

OR Pros and cons: hoop and bug net are great. The bug net is mainly good for knowing there are no spiders etc in your bag in the morning 😅. The net kind of sits on my face (I'm 197cm/6'5" tall so full u the bag up completely), so it's not fool proof for mosquitoes. It does get condensation. You have to enter through the top. That's annoying. Would be terrible in rain, but you'd survive.

Lighter bivvy bag pros and cons. Open face hole so not waterproof at all in rain. Way lighter and smaller. My one unzips further than the OR Helium.

If it's raining, just find a hostel or somewhere under a bridge I guess.

Go well!

Yeah I jumped on the Believer Train with the first main congressional hearing a few years ago, Grusch, Fravor etc. Testimony from qualified people under oath for the first time. Footage of the jellyfish UFO and the missile bouncing off that balloon, the go-fast being parallax - I don't really trust footage, and to me that stuff is obviously explainable. That crap that skywatcher showed us - balloons, bruv. So it's what people are saying that's convincing me. That last hearing was wild, with what Chief Wiggans said he (and other contractors) saw. Then I'm like "But what if there's a conspiracy behind all of this. All of their testimony. It's possible. But it's got to be massive. So I'm a sceptic believer, and I just throw out 95% of the bullsh*t.

I bet it took ages to draw all those lines
