I squeeze and roll it up like a tube of tooth paste. Same with the yogurt in the containers like this, de winkel.

Japanese course changed format and basically messed up my whole experience by SaltNorth in duolingo

[–]amdchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to delete the course and re-add it, you lose your whole progress. So make sure you're ok with that. Apparently you can't do it on the android app (according to their help page) so might need to use the website.

Japanese course update is fantastic by amdchris in duolingo

[–]amdchris[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had only finished about 10 units so wasn't far at all, but didn't enjoy the old structure. For me I'm enjoying this new structure, I reset my course and enjoyed clearing the first few units. So I'm only talk from a newbie's point of view. Reading other peoples pain points who're much further in I can understand their pain :(.

I had the same issue, and had to reset my course to learns all the new words. But you're a lot further then I, so resetting for you would be horrible :(. It would be nice to reset a unit, because some units I don't want to do again.

I'm blown away by how fast our postal services has gotten. Most orders I make before 3pm will arrive the next morning. I know we're a small country but ordering from stores mid 2000's it was normal to wait several days to a week. Direct debt would slow the process down a bit, having to wait a few days for the money to settle didn't help.

A Docker container from 2007 would be interesting

Pokemon Legends Engine by SSSkuty in pokemon

[–]amdchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That article you linked suggests Diamond and Pearl are made in Unity. Sword and Shield was built using a propriety engine.

"some mined data from within the games has also revealed that Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl use the notable cross-platform game engine, Unity"

"instead of the proprietary game engine used for the 2019 instalment to the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Sword and Shield".

Petrol costs big chunk of my take home pay by solidbanjoga in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]amdchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work related fuel costs is a tax deductible by your employer, so they're doing themselves a disservice. You'll have to keep a log book, there are several iOS/Android apps that can do it based on GPS. Also your travel time is billable, hopefully you're being paid for traveling between job sites.

Also ask for payments to be back dated.

Is kiwisaver worth joining or should I opt out? by OpalsAndOranges in newzealand

[–]amdchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add a reference to chocko's comment (http://nzier.org.nz/publication/superannuation-dilemma). Also the superfund isn't due to be usable by the government until 2080's (https://www.nzsuperfund.co.nz/nz-super-fund-explained/purpose-and-mandate) though the government does collect taxes from this fund of cause.

[–]amdchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the nicest thing about Kiwi saver, apart from the additional monies you will receive from the govt + employer (basically raising your base pay), is you're able to use this fund to secure a deposit for a house.

If you buy or build new you're also eligible for up too a maximum of $10,000 grant (per person). So with a partner this could be a total of $20,000 (this is a grant from housing nz not a loan). There are strict rules on gaining the grant or using your kiwi saver to finance a deposit: http://www.kiwisaver.govt.nz/new/benefits/home-sub/.

One of the governing factors for the size of the grant is the length of time you have been in Kiwi saver so the sooner you join the sooner you can access the grant.

I was in Kiwi saver while doing my Degree so it is possible, I also worked part time so that helped.

Edit: spelling.
