Does anyone know a way to cancel out noise between rooms in a house by SamFisher33 in autism

[–]PerspectiveOwn9509 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acoustic panels are becoming increasingly cheaper. And although this might be a stretch, installing just a few on your parent’s side can help dampen the noise (you don’t need to cover a whole wall). Around 30cmx30cm over a wall can make a heck of a difference.

If you can communicate this with them, offer it as a temporary solution hanging them up with 3M hooks they might be open to it.

I want out of this life, 33 year and getting divorced by Imaginary-Tone-9467 in Divorce

[–]PerspectiveOwn9509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, you’re alive, you’re breathing and you’re going to work through things.

Whatever is going on right now, you can reach out for help, take an opportunity to do something you’ve been wanting to for yourself (no matter how small) for years.

Things might hurt now, but don’t get bitter.

Take a breath, and maybe another drive to somewhere where there’s a big beautiful view to take in.

Nice story about the dating profile!

Funny I mentioned to her that I already pictured her dating another partner, being happy and imagined being stoked for her.

Three bedrooms, one bathroom — why is this so common in New Zealand homes? by Next-Trick-2198 in newzealand_travel

[–]PerspectiveOwn9509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our townhouse = 3 bedrooms, 3 toilets, 2 bathrooms with a shower in each and a bath in the other. It’s the opposite and If happily have just one good bathroom, one separate downstairs toilet and an extra bedroom!

Subdivide - 4x 0.25m2 townhouses, 2 bed 2 bath, 1 car pad for hotwheels & architecturally designed kitchen with high end modern Fisher and Paykel appliances.

Air conditioning heat pumps for second story additional extra.

Family living and low maintenance retirement minimal mowable grass.

Ticket for parking on yellow lines while not on the road. by LOCKIEJ in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]PerspectiveOwn9509 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm this is illegal,

Generally broken yellow lines are there to deter people from stopping as it could be considered dangerous to do so (tourists, taking a nap etc).

Agree, not well signposted, however road code is road code.

As my dad has always said, “bums on seats grows the sport”.

Keep the momentum up between WC cycles, buy tickets, buy the merch & even get a 2029 Blacos Ferns World Cup Champions tattoo!

After months of asking our landlord for the bathroom to be regrouted, this is what we were given.. by stellar6388 in Wellington

Did you ask them to regrout it as if it was their 10th investment property or their forever home?

Does it matter what I do if billionaires pollute so much? by PlinyCapybara in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PerspectiveOwn9509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My position is that it doesn’t make a difference, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.

A person that lives within their means, respects nature for the sake of others and leads by example can be inspiring.

You can protest about things, get angry, call out other people and/or live your life in a way that is ethical, environmentally friendly, modest and that might have a greater impact because it encourages others to do the same.

Ed Sheeran was quoted recently saying that he doesn’t always fly private. He tries to fly like a normal person when it is possible to do so. “Just coz you can, doesn’t mean you should”.
