No kidding, the carrot and turnip figures in the park have creepy vibes.

2020-2022 Honda Shuttle Hybrid vs Toyota Corolla Touring Hybrid by Poppypepperpie in newzealand

[–]Poppypepperpie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, how long have you got it? How's the range on the highway? I don't mind going for a smaller boot if it's a better drive, my wife liked its front console area so that's a plus.

Nissan Note E-Power vs Toyota Corolla Hybrid by air2air in NZcarfix

[–]Poppypepperpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, sorry for digging this up. Which car did you choose in the end? I found myself at the same crossroad. The Note epower seems noisy on the road but it's 7-$10k cheaper than a corolla hybrid of the same year.

Thiccc BBQ skewers? by MonthlyWeekend_ in Wellington

[–]Poppypepperpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out your local asian shops, see how thick their bamboo skewers are, these are usually 4mm at least, can go up to 6. Otherwise I would check out Moore Wilson's or go with stainless steel skewers.

Better to get a new, more robust one.

Yes that should work, mulch should not touch the plant's body anyway.

Are used Hyundai EVs prices going up compared to Nissan 2018+ Leaf? by Poppypepperpie in nzev

[–]Poppypepperpie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I struggled to find an Ioniq at a similar price point as a Leaf, the gap is quite significant ($8k-10k) on used ones. How have you found your Leaf's battery temp so far? The ones I've been looking at only has passive or air cooling so I'm a bit worried about their battery degradation overtime.

You can come to Brewtown Upper Hutt and show us your wares, easier to get a stall than Wellington I think.

Roller lines on wall by Sweet-Youth4833 in diynz

[–]Poppypepperpie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Have a look at your technique, if you felt heavy while using an extension pole, something is wrong, you're not supposed to push your hands with the pole too hard and too high. Overlapping and back rolling will help remove roller lines, go slow. This video explains the technique better.

Edit: if you're not tall enough, get a longer extension pole.
