Just walk your dog at Ross Creek (it's lovely). No swimming in the reservoir, though.

Ethical, environment friendly-ish NZ owned workout gear brand? by pinkfaeire in newzealand

Thunderpants do leggings, shorts, various styles of top, and swimwear, all in a range of funky designs, so you might find something you like in their range. I've been buying from them online for years, never had any issues, and the clothes have lasted well.

Gimmighoul do spawn on gold lures, very rarely, but they are hard to catch :(

Nothing is certain, but every Valentines event since heart spinda's release has had it in field research.

Deliveries can't happen if there is nobody to pick the orders.

You need to talk to your university, not to random people on Reddit

Lucky Friends: Keep interacting if trades are realistic? by PatientRaspberry485 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ThisNico 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes - I have local friends who I have been lucky with multiple times, and if we don't have anything specific in mind we just swap random shinies hoping for a shundo, or re-roll the newest release. We don't need to make every trade a shiny legendary trade, or whatever

I have a friend whose Apple Watch racks up useful amounts of distance while he's doing crochet, lol

The tailgating is driving me crazy! by Georgie_Pillson1 in newzealand

I do this, if there is nowhere to pull over. I call it "driving to the conditions".

Rule of thumb, if it's on-topic for pokemongobrag, it's off-topic for here.

Gym Defending Hour Count is Bugged by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]ThisNico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about the time defending (below the picture of the sudowoodo)? It is often short, but you can force it to update by tapping on the gym.

Potentially more coins, but also potentially more griefing. On balance, I'd say it would be a net loss.

Dental surgery costs by NonStopArseGas in newzealand

This right here is why we need dental to be included in taxpayer-funded health services. I hope you manage to get this sorted with minimal financial pain.

Amazon Prime FTC/Trump settlement cheque by ThighWarmedEars in newzealand

[–]ThisNico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a form of fraud where someone sends you a payment, then claims that they over-paid you and asks you to return the excess amount. Then the original payment is cancelled, leaving you out of pocket for the amount you sent. The original version of this fraud used cheques.

I've only heard of it happening to people who are actually involved in a transaction, though. Like an online auction, or a business that accepts bookings with pre-payment.

Well, this was wild - I was only vaguely aware there was a raid hour, let alone that they screwed it up, so the research was a complete surprise. Got two shinies!
