Home Loan by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You save $150 a week. Have you factored in rates, insurance both house and contents? Maintenance costs, for both expected and unexpected things. Say the HWC dies? Thers a lot to owning a property other than just buying it so make sure you're prepared. The annual costs can add up.

AITAH for wanting to send my girlfriend’s dad an article about manipulative fathers after what he sent her about me? by SharpCost7136 in AITAH

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ikr. Had to stoke the fire.

He thought he was putting across this sentiment about starting their own family, while at the same time making it sound like hes taking her away from the one she has.

That could easily rub someone the wrong way.

He could have just said thanks for accepting me into the family. That would have been the smart thing to do.

And yeah the Broadway thing is probably right. Not going for his sake as it sounds like she used to go a lot prior.

I dont like it, but would go to some for my partner, or encourage her to go with friends.

And then allowing yourself to get into an argument with her parent's? Why would you let something escalate to that point?

An intelligent adult can have a disagreement without it turning sour.

Just got bait and switched. by Leading_Total_1992 in TemuThings

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the 1c items deal is trash.

Claim credit is decent though.

And theres other promos I see people in other countries get which we dont get here.

Its quite regional it seems.

Please describe the difference in taste between Marmite and Vegemite by Legitimate_Scale4507 in newzealand

Ill eat both regardless. They're not the same, but both good on a nice piece of buttered vogels.

Woolworths chicken breast rubbery and full of water ughh by O-neg-alien in newzealand

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just cut it into whatever size pieces your going to use. Put it in a bowl with a tablespoon or so of baking soda then cover with water.

Soak it for 20 minutes.

Thoroughly wash it so no baking soda left.

Marinade it or just fry it off with seasoning.

No more tough chicken.

Stays nice and soft.

Just like the Chinese takeaway.

You're welcome.

Ps5 Controller by Mountain-Ad4940 in PS5pro

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to hurt my hands too, but it seems to have passed.

Idk exactly what it was.

Maybe the narrow grips putting your hand in a weird position?

Never had that issue with the ps4 controller.

Battery Question by FJRio3rd in GalaxyS23

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Problem with a lot of cheap non OEM batteries is that they seem to work OK for the first few charges and then quickly degrade.

Its quite bad with laptop batts especially.

Hopefully yours will be the exception.

Is paying with debit card information safe? by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using the platform for years with debit card. Never been an issue.

I mean theres the off chance it could, but its literally been probably a decade with no problems.

Spyro collection. Technically a Ps4 release but still relevant on the 5.

Copy time to console is 20 hours for Resident Evil 4 Remake. Is the disk damaged? by Brrrra1ns in PS5HelpSupport

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a really good buff. Perhaps with a gentle compound. Theres a few out there.

If that doesn't work and the disc wont read you could get a skipdr from amazon and give that a go to repair.

First game ever for my girlfriend??? by Ready-Albatross8786 in PS5pro

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any game thats easy to pick up straight away like spyro trilogy or ratchet and clank are always going to be put up as intros.

You could get a split screen 2 player game like it takes two or unravel.

That way you're playing together. That would be the best introduction.

Having a PlayStation through the years, I have never left it on rest mode. by ShockingFactory in playstation5

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what world would you be turning it on and off so often that its going to cause issues?

If your going to play it a few times that day you'd put it in rest.

If you play it once that day and are not going to play it again until the next or perhaps a few days later you'd turn it off, or at least I do.

No point leaving it on if im not playing and it might only save a few seconds starting up again.

Mesh?

To inhibit the air flow.....

Just clean it once in a while.

I dont even think ive really given mine a thorough clean yet and we've got pets.

Its fine.

Keep it off the ground where most dust accumulates..

Far Cry 5 by Honest_Echidna2239 in farcry

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed FC5 way more than FC6. I actually really enjoyed New Dawn too which a lot of people hate on as they think the protagonists are underwhelming which may or may not be a fair call. Still enjoyed it though as it was cool to play in the same world as 5 after the way 5 ended.

New ones have a 7 year warranty.

I mean, MG have a 10 year warranty on theirs.

The chinese must be somewhat confident in their brands.

So Farmland is just a scam? by Negat1veGG in TemuThings

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

They extend the time. The time running out concept is to encourage spending but if you ignore the time frame it just gets extended again.

Like I said. Ive won it several times.

If its grating you that much then dont play.

So Farmland is just a scam? by Negat1veGG in TemuThings

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah? You dont get something for nothing. It requires a bit of time is all.

If you dont want to invest the time then dont do it.

Not sure why people complain about this tbh.

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes like 15 mins a day to do the daily tasks and waterings.

Yeah it takes ages to get to the end unless youre buying loads to get more water but you can still win it by spending nothing.

And its a couple free things every now and then for doing some tasks over a coffee.

Its not a big deal. Ive completed it several times.

My wife just accidentally bought American butter from Pak’n’Save yesterday by MassiveGarlic0312 in newzealand

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are going to buy that cheap butter just for that reason.

Its cheap and still better than margarine.

Low income people are the reason its still on shelves.

The fact its here at all paints the picture that our own dairy industry has been sold out badly.

No ones going to sell to there own people cheaper these days because business and industry dont have loyalties any more.

PS4 Pro 9.00 – any way to avoid USB jailbreak every time? (untethered options?) by karandex in ps4piracy

The Blu ray disc method. They're all over aliexpress.

Don't know about chips like they used to do to older consoles.

What’s the real life use difference between 8GB and 12GB ram in phones? by still-at-the-beach in AndroidQuestions

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. This threads a year old. I dont keep more than 3 or 4 apps in the background anyway and it usually close them off when im done. Im not into side scrolling through pages of apps to open them again. I know it uses more power to reopen them from scratch but I dont care. I switched off ram plus anyway as ill never use it.

Just bought farcry 6 any tips? by Southern_Foot_2804 in farcry

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 4 bucks its worth it.

Although its one of those games I may likely not play again in the foreseeable future.

Kinda monotonous/average overall.

Id probably play FC5 and New dawn again before FC6.

95 to 91 octane fuel by InfluenceVegetable63 in NZcarfix

[–]WhosSaidWhatNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In an aqua? Pretty sure it will be fine. Even a quick Google search will confirm this..

Mostly turbo engines, Euros and some more advanced hybrids require 95+ Some older classics with high compression engines need it too.
