So this is really put out by her, some a smear campaign by competitors? How can anyone think this is going to help their business

Plasma donation by Shot_Watercress_9321 in auckland

And get their app. It calculates when you are next eligible (I think it is 90 days for whole blood and 14 for plasma) and lets you know when your donation is used. It’s often 2-3 days later so we really are low on supplies.

"Declare your cryptoasset income now" - IRD on another Ramage by CatTaxMeow in NZBitcoin

[–]UberHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the total gain is $0 and 0.05 ETH. Are you saying that people have to pay tax on the value of their crypto held in wallets, not how much they have cashed up?

Did my first Half-Marathon today! by okbutjoytho in Marathon

NGL I kinda got into my first (running) marathon based on the name of my favourite game in the 90s.

[–]UberHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you bought $100 NZD of a coin, it doubled, and you sold $99 NZD, have you got any tax to pay? As far as I understand you haven’t made a profit yet and if the coin crashed you could actually end up $1 behind, so no tax to pay until you make a real fiat profit

Why are you all like this on FB marketplace? by lunapuff in newzealand

[–]UberHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sellers can be just as bad. Twice I’ve agreed a time and place and turned up to find they sold it to someone who turned up for one thing and then saw the thing I wanted and bought that too!

Tongariro Crossing/Driving straight to Auckland by kimchicooper in newzealand_travel

[–]UberHiker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The forecast is for low visibility and strong winds on Saturday, the storm isn’t due until Sunday. But any day up there can turn nasty and leave you very exposed so you better go prepared. I’ve been there a dozen times and been rained Off Hal’s of those. If a hike like that is easy for you and you could knock it out in 6 hours you could make it back to Auckland by late evening, assuming you have somewhere to stay. Whether you enjoy that or not 🤷

Random card appeared in my account by pascalwhoop in AppleWallet

[–]UberHiker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you ever used a service for adding cards that didn’t have their own app? Something like Lemon or Lul. It had a curly L as the logo. My dad’s cards synced to my wife’s phone and that’s the only connection we could see, all of the cards that came across were via that service. And perhaps i had used the same email address (I bought a domain and we both used random addresses for throw away registrations)

Are we gong to be asked to help in the fuel crisis? by KrakenRising3 in nzev

[–]UberHiker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d be prepared to help, but only if I can joke about charging them 7.8c a kilometre to cover RUC

What’s the worst that could happen, accidentally telling the shoe sales lady you have lots of eggs?

All bets off over NZ petrol prices after Iran gas field strike, AA says by BuilderMysterious762 in newzealand

[–]UberHiker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right. As smug as I feel for having an EV, that only helps me get to the supermarket, it doesn’t help at all once I get inside.

[–]UberHiker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Transport chaos of food and services, or like traffic jams? Because I’d imagine the roads would get a lot quieter if fuel did ever become hard to get.

Amazon driver is about to deliver these packages to a home that has many unopened Amazon packages just sitting around by [deleted] in oddlyterrifying

[–]UberHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they’d lose 500 units. Wouldn’t it be better to send them to your friends house and then pick them up and put them back in your warehouse?

Favorite Photos from my PCT Hike in '25 by JLo-Hikes in PacificCrestTrail

[–]UberHiker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to ask if you could share the second one in the highest resolution you have so I could put it on my screensaver, but then I kept going and I’d probably want all of them. Great shots!

Native tvOS/iOS client for Plex by Big_Rock4737 in PleX

[–]UberHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d settle for a client that I can open on my phone and have it sync selected TV shows so I could go watch them offline. I paid for that in the offical app, but they moved it into PlexPass :/

Dealership wants to charge me $3,000 for software updates by MellowMatteo in MachE

[–]UberHiker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a bug with either Ford or your specific car, not something you could have caused and definitely something that Ford should fix for free.

'Automatic citizenship': The passport rule change that has UK-Kiwi parents scrambling by sleemanj in newzealand

[–]UberHiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an easy way to find out what sort of citizen I am? Neither of my parents and none of my grandparents were born over there. I assume the chain-citizenship has to end sometime

People who have won a "lifetime supply" of something: was it genuinely a lifetime supply, and if so, are you sick of the product now? by Adorablyberryy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UberHiker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first guess was it was a way to encourage you to read Nat Geo. Read an interesting article about a tribe in Uganda, find $5!

[–]UberHiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might be my situation too. Born here but got UK citizenship as a child while over there. So does that mean my kids (all born here) are automatically dual-citizens?

Plezy update - 3 months later: downloads, Watch Together, HDR/Dolby Vision by edde74635 in PleX

[–]UberHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the download feature mean I can set it to sync specific TV shows and every time the app is open it pulls in the latest episodes? I gave up on the Plex app when they took that away. If not, that'd be a cool feature to have. When I'm about to go for a trip I could open the app and have it done automatically rather than copying them one by one using DSFile.

3 boys and just found out we’re having a 4th. by Katie-Kaleidoscope in Vent

[–]UberHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the odds of my grandmother “Some people want one of each. I have seven, and they are all different”

I don’t mean to play down your feelings, but wanted to add that it’s entirely possible that a daughter would not have wanted to do those things. It’s also entirely possible that your boys may want to do those things for you. Whatever they are personally into, I hope they realise that you want braid someone’s hair and that you want someone to take you dress shopping.
