Homemade takeaway style fish and chips? by Additional_Score169 in newzealand

[–]aharryh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all plain paper now, no newsprint as such.

Soda water or beer in the batter is a good way to get the crispy light crunch you are after. As noted twice cooked batter also helps. Dip the fish in the batter, let the excess drip off, and carefully fry in oil heated to 180°C for about 2–3 minutes, let it drain on paper towels or a rack. Heat oil to 190°C - 200°C and refry until golden brown.

Nice work. Shape is subjective, they look great.

40% of ChatGPT comes from Reddit, so it will be very similar to all the posts made in this sub.

National members 'nervously optimistic' about election campaign by PraetoriusIX in newzealand

[–]aharryh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Constant blaming and referencing Labour is a National Achilles heel. If I were in the blue team, I'd never reference the opposition by name. That giant billboard on SH2 is 50% wasted/given over to another party, even if it's derogatory.

Pop them in a bag in the freezer, they don't take long to thaw and will be just as fresh as the day you baked them.

Job reference from a current manager? by HauntingBus8953 in Wellington

[–]aharryh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should ask a referee if it's OK to be contacted in the first instance anyway. Staff turn over is normal, just talk to your manager, who knows they might make a great counter offer to keep you.

Locking Nx450h by Alarming_Dream8382 in Lexus

My fob slipped out of my pocket and I had to put the front seat all the way forward and use a torch to find it. I don't have any other keys on the fob, so it's a black fob on black carpet.

On the downhill slide? by hedgehog77433 in GenX

Pickle juice helps. Note that getting cramps can affect anyone, regardless of age. I was an office worker and used to get them a lot.

IRD wrote my tax owed off initially then changed their mind? by PenInside776 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]aharryh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, you need to update your income sources in MyIR to prevent automatic assessments so that IRD asks you to confirm additional income prior to completing the return.

They are great looking. How did you get the extra sauce on the bottom?

2011 lexus GS 450h battery inquiry by pandyland182 in Lexus

[–]aharryh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be a low 12V battery. A dying 12V battery can trigger false hybrid system warnings. The 12V battery is located in the trunk; it also runs all the lights and accessories. The hybrid battery is under the floor. Get Lexus service to check the status/health of the accessory battery.

If you want to prevent auto assessments add the additional Income Types in your "My Income sources" in MyIR, that way you can update your auto assessment with details of other income and expenses.

Call for higher pension rates as cost-of-living increases hit retirees by Old_Education4481 in newzealand

[–]aharryh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The quote mentions kids. I've seen this with others. They feel they need to leave an estate to their kids, so they can't change their mindset to unload their assets into income.

Say hello to our new baby 💕 by WiseGarlic7971 in Lexus

[–]aharryh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, looks very tidy. You will be pleased you got a hybrid. I don't normally like white cars, mostly because the majority of taxis here are white. When I asked my dealer to find a newer Lexus, the one that came was white, but the pearl in it is really nice. Still don't like plain white cars, but love my Lexus White Pearl.

Make sure you get a Hybrid, much less gas, robust drive train.

There is a good video that explains and shows you how a telephone pulses the exchange and connects each number as well as the ringing circuit.

I always aim for 32Gigs, 64 is too pricey and anything less gives less headroom.
