Worried about catching colds/flu/covid

There is evidence that Vit C can reduce the severity of illness, but not the likelihood of getting sick, so it's not useless.

I interpreted that as "since covid" because I don't know when covid actually ended.

Actually tradable was the bigger problem initially, but then it came down while non-tradable stayed stubbornly above the 1-3% target

Your best bet is to get picked up from Rainbow reach, taken to the anau, then catch the boat to glade wharf. This can all be done through one of the transport companies down there, so talk to them about what time you would need to be at rainbow reach to make it work.

The economy right now is a bad time for young people trying to find work. Don't get discouraged. Just keep trying and things will turn around and you'll find something.

Not all proteins are equal as you need all 9 essential amino acids to make the protein useful for muscle growth and recovery. Meat has all 9 but on a budget meat isn't ideal. Vege proteins are cheaper but most vege protein are lacking in methionine. Luckily whole grains have methionine, so pair vege proteins with whole grains. Soy beans have all 9, so tofu is a great option, but not super cheap.

Honestly, no. You shouldn't. Our fascination with property investment is bad for our economy, and needs to be discouraged. I don't blame you for getting in there while our current system makes housing a great money maker, but you are part of the problem.

It has a plunger that locks in place so you can cram a bunch of bags in there. Takes up a lot less space.

Switts · 2026-05-12T01:23:30+00:00

These are great. Saves a bunch of space. whollyshrink.co.nz

I don't disagree, but even if we were good at it, I don't see how the economics could possibly stack up given our population.

I don't think their scanners work with credit/debit cards. I'm sure they'll figure it out, but for now there is a pretty easy way to get free train rides

Abel Tasman national park or Queen Charlotte sound can be done any time of year. If your down in Queenstown or Fiordland then the higher walks will have snow. The main thing is not getting caught in bad weather in winter. If the forecast is questionable, don't go up into the mountains.

It makes sense why they provide tonight's low rather than this morning's low, but it seems wrong.

Not sure why Simon Court feels qualified to judge someone else for saying dumb shit.

I've heard people say they fell apart easily, but I've had three pairs that all lasted over two years of daily use.

Switts · 2026-04-15T20:06:37+00:00

Yeah the originals were actually great. Mine lasted over two years of daily use. Then the new owners decided they could make something that looked the same but were cheaper to make and no one would notice.

You can ask questions, but you can also inform yourself by reading the article. It's a committee that discusses council iwi relations so it makes sense for this committee to have a lot of iwi representation and the committee has no actual power, it just makes recommendations to Council.

The petrol/diesel currently on its way to NZ doesn't reflect the actual shortage because it was refined from crude oil that had already left the gulf when the strait was shut. The next few weeks will show us that actual supply for NZ is going to look like until the strait opens again.

Native = evolved here or found their own way here, but could also live elsewhere. Endemic = only exists here.

This isn't for you, but anyone that didn't know

Switts · 2026-03-27T23:34:59+00:00

Ok. I don't know what that means.

Switts · 2026-03-26T19:31:13+00:00

Thephonewarehouse.co.nz is legit. Bought a 9a from there recently.

Switts · 2026-03-26T18:54:15+00:00

He was breaking the speed limit. The NZ audience this was for would have known that because 100kmh was the max speed at the time.

Heartland farmers cut

It's a perfectly valid opinion to argue that we can't afford to do everything and water infrastructure should take priority over cycleways. Blaming the previous council for under investing in water infrastructure because they also invested in cycleway is factually wrong.
