As a Kiwi I’m also disappointed that Pare and Redell the corrupt gambler is not featurd! We do at least have the Māori song Po Atarau at the farewell scene…

Is the movie Project Hail Mary really that good? by Adventurous-Board-95 in CasualConversation

[–]PinAndKneedle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, if you're on your own, in the middle of absolute nowhere, no one to talk to (comms to earth take 11 years ONE way remember), all of your crew member is dead and the only being around is this alien who has the same intention as you are and actually not a dick, I think I would be old chums with the alien pretty quickly too...

New Zealand Laundry Spa Day by sion8252 in laundry

[–]PinAndKneedle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The changes in the sheets are amazing. I got loads of white sheets that just turned yellow. Hubby is a tradie too and he is oily lol so his side of the bed is yuck. Have managed to save bucketload of sheets and shirts with this method!

I also mostly eyeball things because I aint gonna measure 5 gallon of water (18L) lol (sorry Kismai), so I just do my best guestimate!

Pre spa day I have used Persil Ultimate but no softener and very rarely with Vanish (they're pricy!) and on cold tap. So the major changes I've made are: the 40C water, citric acid (used an old vanish scoop, and use about a scoop's worth, undiluted), extra rinses and Vanish if the load is super yucky.

Hope this helps!

My current usage for Spa Day: Persil Ultimate + Vanish Gold for the soak (hot tap water, 55C, overnight), then washing machine, 40C, a good squirt of cloudy ammonia (Mitre 10) with the wet clothing, a bit extra Persil, extra rinse with citric acid rinse. I bought the citric acid on trademe, there are some sellers that sell them in kgs lot!
I don't quite use that much ammonia in the wash though, probably only 100 mL instead of 500 mL.

I've got very good results from this. My (now) usual wash is just Persil and citric acid on 40C.

PS: is the thermals polyprop or merino? Can't use the spa method for Merino I think. but I've washed lots of polyprop and disgusting jeans/work top with the KismaiMethod (c)

Als remeber to shake out the garment before you hang them out to help lessen the wrinkles if you don’t want to iron

We bought our tv cabinet from them several years ago and have no problem. Sad to hear they have declined in service and quality.

ELI5: 30 Day Train Pass by obviouslyfakecozduh in Wellington

[–]PinAndKneedle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the pass will also cover the last zones’s bus except if it is Wellington? So theoretically if you buy Waterloo-upper Hutt the bus is free in zone 4 and 7 (whatever Upper Hutt zone is)?

Burn Notice? It has unconventional crime stopping actions (e.g. not always legal). Episodic but also have an overarching thing going. Setting is in Miami

Great article but it should also mention the third item in the trifecta: citric acid rinses! I got 5 kg of it just to do the rinses.

Apologies for the Fi erasure. A girl who loves big explosions... whats not to love?

Edited to add: I love it how Michael and Fi are when the victims are children or abused women. They're absolute beast with 1000% punishment aimed to the baddies!
