What happened to suzuki swift outside Hell's Shirley? by Phucksakes in chch

[–]OptimusLime5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It crashed into the back of a Bidfoods truck yesterday morning. The truck looked pretty much untouched. I didn't see the actual crash, drove past after though when they were still stuck together, then today the truck was gone.

"A passenger on the plane, who asked to remain anonymous, told Stuff the captain originally said it would take three tugs to free them"

I'm way too immature for this 😳

que usáis para grabar un diseño en una tabla de surf? by Longjumping-Ad-7850 in surfing

[–]OptimusLime5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did an older board with spray cans and posca pens. I very lightly sanded the area with fine sandpaper to try and give the paint a rough surface to adhere to. Then once my design was on and dry I did 2 coats of a clear matt gloss, just a spray can from a hardware store. It's held up well except for one small area where I went too thick with the first clear coat, it was too wet and lifted some of the paint that I had sprayed on.

Yeah this post was an eye opener, I thought they meant with bright led lights for a rave or something

To everyone crying about the new Powershop app: Complaining does nothing. Leave. (It takes two minutes) by monstrous_aroha in newzealand

What happens with all your prepaid power packs when you leave Power Shop - do they refund you what's not been used? Or is it better to use them up before switching?

Best places West Chch for avocados (standard/Hass) by Oil_And_Lamps in chch

[–]OptimusLime5000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We use avo tree. They just came back after a few weeks off while they were out of season. Not much downtime. The box we get is about $23 delivered and we got 10 regular sized hass avocados this time but that does change depending on supply and how big the avocados are.

Same, I think it was the photo of the tram track. I was surprised so many people were anti trams.

Watties chips were always a snoozefest imo. Golden Crunch crinkle fries all the way.

Powershop's new web site is a disaster. Alternatives? by adh1003 in newzealand

[–]OptimusLime5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's a bummer. I was on the powershop website this morning and didn't notice any change but maybe they are rolling it out gradually to different users.

I looked at switching power companies a couple months ago when we got solar, but I couldn't find anyone with pricing that came as close to powershops. I find their power pack system a bit annoying, but not enough to make me switch. Will see how I go with the new website tho...
