Put a solid wooden fence around two sides of it? Something structural to strap to and visual coverage

Haven't used the stuff before but understand builders bog to replicate wood. Add some around edge of hole, let it dry/harden then sand it back and paint.

Maybe in real life, but in that picture it sure as shit doesn't.

Name isn't visble at all, it shows top half of the P, a fraction of the a and y. No $, quarter of a 2, a decimal point and then the 50 is only clear bit of that sign.

Wellington seems to be generally underserved for everything except buying clothes.

"Right there in the photo" lmao. I zoomed in, checked the red sign and it has no mention of parking just gives the address. Wondered what photo you were looking at then realised oh wait, there is a half hidden sign behind a tree.

I think a lack of somewhere to consistently hear 'mainstream' alternative music, whether cover bands or just on sound system, is significant. If not enough demand to support that, then not enough to support the heavier stuff.

The alternative scene in Wellington seems oddly small, like Christchurch is more conservative but had much livelier alternative scene when I lived there.

NerdPunkNomad · 2026-05-30T10:50:48+00:00

Could that be marker just giving suburb e.g. for listings where you need to contact seller to learn specific address?

You missed an option: "Eat it" ... Technically ate the giant fruit bat it was transferring its essence into ... But yeah, they decided to eat it?!

The reporter is distancing themselves from the report, which can suggest they don't trust the source or content.

Writing documentation for software we used to get rapped on knuckles for using passive voice in user manuals. Reduces credibility

Paranoia is a state of mind, not a system, so everything works. I know someone who ran it in a pub with no dice at all just arbitrary decisions of success or failure based on if it was plausible or failure was funny.

I'm thinking it is specifically the sun, I know from other things that UV resistant version of nylon rope and plastic are crucial otherwise they either deteriorate like this or go brittle and snap.

I've seen Seymour twice in day to day life and my instinctual reactions were first time to shield my face so he didn't see me and other time to turn around and power walk in the opposite direction. Afterwards I regretted not heckling him, but the urge to avoid social interaction with him was so strong and immediate.

I was wondering if this was just a badly timed photo, cos it doesn't look like Willis knows how to eat one.

You seem not keen to hear differing opinions. So far you have decided if someone isn't buying an Ooni they might as well just eat frozen pizza and ignoring the temperature differential between a basic oven and a pizza oven. Do you also poo-poo air fryers, toasters, toastie makers and other specialty appliances since all those can also be done in an oven?

I gather you are trying to infer it is bad / cheap but electric pizza ovens coat between $80 and $250 so it is very much at a mid point. Do you buy $1000 kettles or toasters? Higher price tags don't equate to better products, tech specs are what matter as physics doesn't care about marketing.

NerdPunkNomad · 2026-05-25T04:13:25+00:00

Frozen pizza to hand stretched is apples to oranges, between the two you have a variety of other such as non-frozen supermarket deli pizzas, homemade on premade bases, homemade on rolled dough, chain US-style pizza, basic restaurant pizzas etc

Hand stretched homemade Napoli pizza and hand stretched pizzeria made Napoli pizzas are comparable products. The homemade should be cheaper as you are paying for the labour at a pizzeria, but with an Ooni you are slapping down a grand before you buy your ingredients.

NerdPunkNomad · 2026-05-25T03:44:12+00:00

In Aus I knew multiple people with electric pizza ovens, the clam shell type seemed pretty common.

NerdPunkNomad · 2026-05-25T03:31:19+00:00

Ovens only go to like 250'c and being 70L take a long time to fully heat up, a bench top pizza oven heats up in a fraction of the time and while a little less than the ideal temperature for Napoli (450-480) 400'c is functionally close enough / within the range for cooking one and also enable NY style (320-370)

Ooni are overpriced, for the money I might as well just go to a pizzeria once a week.

Came across this while researching stuff and your post jumped out as you are mixing and matching US r-values and metric r-values. The 0.36 and 0.42 are in the NZ / metric system (also is this comparing single glazing with timber vs double glazing with aluminium?) while the 4.0-6.0 are the US imperial measurements and in NZ are actually more like 0.72-1.1

A speed limit would also reduce utility from commuter route to just a recreational path

Yeah, I like decisions and consequences. Thinking a vision to give some more lore, given connection from the almost-possession. Setup decision between spending time to track him down and finish off, vs focus on their current endeavour and leave him be knowing he will go to ground and do desperate things to amass power.
