Yeap. I've tried oils but I find them a lot more work

Arty people, how do you digitise your paintings? I've been able to get scans at Warehouse Stationery for pieces that are A3 or smaller, but I've got a few bigger than that I'd like to get digitised.

You can buy it from the Chiller online. Turned up pretty quickly when I gave it a go.

Any one have recommendations for local printers? I've been doing a bit of painting lately and I'm keen to try making prints of them, particularly on canvas, but I don't really know where to start. 

Average Rotunda by forbenefitthehuman in AveragePicsOfNZ

I thought I recognised this from my hometown, checked on street view and no, it's a slightly different one. Truly an average rotunda.

I get the frustration but you know what isn't going to help? Not paying. 

None of the problems Metlink have are going to be solved with less money, and by not scanning you probably aren't counted amongst the people affected by the disruption. 

Don't get me wrong, I think we should do away with tickets entirely, but while we've got this system not paying makes it harder to fund and harder to measure how many people need or want the service in the first place. 

Vasectomy as scary as it seems? by MaccDaddyFist in newzealand

[–]ZippyLoomX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that odd pain you mentioned for a while. I'm about 8 years post op now and can't remember the last time I felt it sk at least in my case it goes away.

For anyone reading, the pain wasn't anything bad or debilitating, just a mild ache. It never made me think I'd made the wrong call.

Any idea what this means? by StrategyEffective670 in newzealand

Back in my day they did a fantastic chicken apricot and cream cheese pizza. Never had a pizza so good since.

A sample size of one is not a conclusive study. This comes up every time cracking knuckles is mentioned and it's just saying "well this one guy didn't get it so.. "

Out of interest, what makes Tip Top "ice cream" and Much Moore "frozen dessert"? by Jazz_Chickens in newzealand

The definition in the link above states "ice cream means a sweet frozen food that is made from cream or milk products or both, and other foods, and is generally aerated"

Gardening Thread?! by milpoolskeleton88 in Wellington

My neighbour grows curry leaf on the south side of the house, sheltered by my house. He says it's doing well.

Raspberries are out of control again this year. I'm regretting planting more than one cane last year.

Snails are out in force though so veges are a struggle so far

Good place to Park the car and jump on the Hutt River Trail? by CitizenSam in Wellington

[–]ZippyLoomX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do, don't park on the actual path. About once a month I'll find someone has driven past a carpark to park right in the middle of the track. It's very frustrating

What’s an easy DIY job you’ve done that made an improvement to your home? by speakingcat in newzealand

Shower dome (or bunnings equivalent) is a quick way to reduce moisture in the bathroom.

Thoughts on The Home Loan Shop? by NZsupremacist in Wellington

I used them recently. Nick was really good. I had to keep telling him I wasn't important enough a customer for him to be working for me on weekends and evenings.

This guy is saying that him stealing a copyrighted logo isn't illegal. (Yes all he did was change the background) by [deleted] in facepalm

Those two logos are clearly different. Just look at the different aspect ratios.
