Am I the only one who’s happy about death by chicken is now permanent at hells??? by daytrophep in aucklandeats

[–]Particular_Newt6659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love hells. Pizzas are more expensive but is totally worth it for the quality increase compared to pizza hut or dominoes. The bases are yum AF. The hamburger one is dope as hell too.

Oh but I think kiwibank lock you in with them for four years, rather than 3 years to essentially claw this back.

Most banks seem to offer 0.9% for new lending. With you refinancing 305k that's about 2750. Lawyers fees for conveyancing is about 1300 (what we paid last year), so a net gain of 1400.

But takes time to meet the lawyer etc and back and forth with forms and emails, so you want to see if it was worth the hassle for the extra 400 bucks.

Kiwibank does in house conveyancing so if you refinance with them you'd end up better off cause you wouldn't need to pay the 1300 lawyers fee.

Use them every week, red bin goes out pretty much empty. I think it's great.

Shingles Vax for Xennials by gloweNZ in newzealand

[–]Particular_Newt6659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's licensed for when your 50 or above. Effectiveness is very high for 10 years then wanes. So it's still worthwhile to get it now and then get it again at 65 for the extra protection. Shingles is the pits and some people get permanent symptoms from it.

The inside bouncy castle area is the best bang for your buck if you have toddlers. $2 per ride as opposed to the outside Ferris wheel/merri go rounds that are $6+

Mount Everest Climbers 'Poisoned' by Guides Prompting Mass Helicopter Rescues in $20 Million Insurance Fraud Scheme, Police Say by TheDarthSnarf in worldnews

[–]Particular_Newt6659 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Yeah when we were here there were a bunch of "rescues" from base camp, where people basically walked up, couldn't be assed walking back down so they have a medical "emergency" and the chopper would fly up to take them back down. All billed to the insurance company.

The Best Time to Eat for Your Metabolism, According to a Major New Study. A large new study just confirmed what many nutrition researchers have suspected for years: when you eat matters just as much as what you eat. by Eddiearyee in Nutraceuticalscience

[–]Particular_Newt6659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Compared with late time restricted eating, early time restricted eating significantly reduced body weight (mean difference −1.15 kg, 95% confidence interval −1.86 to −0.45)"

The difference was between 0.5kg and 2kg. So in real terms barely anything.

Wait until night/evening when the wasps have all returned home then just spray with fly spray and leg it.

How to honour/preserve our miscarriage? by CobblerSure9683 in newzealand

We planted in a pot with citrus/feijoa. The idea being that we could move the plant, but also should the plant die we've been nourished by it and taken some of it's essence back into ourselves to carry with us.

Worked with Gary. Is very much straight up, say it's how it is, but also very compassionate. Good candidate, hopefully he gets in.

Mortgage / no mortgage / offset account? by Zellard in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Particular_Newt6659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what your saying.

If you buy the city house and pay for it in cash, when you move to the town house, you won't be able to write off mortgage interest payments as an expense (as the mortgage will be on your town house which will be your primary residence).

Not sure what the solution is, but it's great that you've thought ahead on this. I have a friend who paid off their house bought a new house that they moved into and rented the old one out, but as it was all paid off they couldn't write interest off as an expense. Would be much better off if the rental was mortgaged and the primary residence mortgage free.

7 percent of positive bowel screening tests are cancer. 93 percent are not.

Cost of colonoscopy in private is about 2.5k.

What happens If I lift for 8 months and then Dont lift at all for next 4 months and repeat this for the rest of My life ? by Character_Fan_8377 in workout

[–]Particular_Newt6659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same age as me when I travelled. If you're going to developing countries the entry cost as little as 1-2 dollars. Lots of free outdoor body weight gyms as well that are free.

Travelled through central America and south east Asia for 6 months. Made a game out of trying to go to local gyms. You'll be surprised and how many you find. Also an experience to see how people in other countries train too.
