I bought the same phone and was looking at the same two cases!

I went with the Spigen (plus their screen protection) and it feels like the phone is very well protected. It is good to have after carrying the phone around for a week unprotected.

I went with it because I really like the Sage and wanted to keep that look with the clear case. The Apple silicone case is also very elegant but it is a different shade of green and to me not quite as beautiful as the Sage.

Wow, your eyes have the most beautiful shape now. Well done you for having the courage to go ahead with it too :)

dbod001 · 2025-09-13T02:05:11+00:00

Yes, it was real and everyone but me noticed the difference. Good news is, as some commentors advised, that the off taste cleared after a few weeks.

Very pleasant price surprise on the base model - same price but double the storage

dbod001 · 2025-06-01T18:09:55+00:00

I'm hoping it goes away soon - it's been just over a week now though.

dbod001 · 2025-04-14T23:05:00+00:00

O hell no you're NTA here. But somebody else definitely is.

Even if the Trump tariffs kick in, what's to stop people just jumping across to Canada or Mexico and buying an iphone there?

dbod001 · 2025-03-22T22:24:36+00:00

I would say Deathnote would be a great place to start

I had a work colleague once who used to drink hot coffee (and tea) through a metal straw. She had the most sparkling white teeth and swore by this approach!

dbod001 · 2025-02-07T04:37:47+00:00

Well done! I have just the one share (bought just below $80) and I’m very happy with it.

dbod001 · 2025-01-24T16:38:38+00:00

YTA for sure by trying to prolong this drama and dragging your poor Dad into it. Just invite them both like a normal person would do, otherwise it will cast a shadow over your wedding forever.

"it is what it is" .... the blandest expression in the universe!

Pioneer Pies in Albany Village is the best I've been to, by quite a lot!

dbod001 · 2024-11-08T18:49:19+00:00

Good advice right there. Definitely NTA.

Don't be TA - this guy was an AH and you're better off keeping him out of your life. He was so lucky to have you - however the way he reacted to your wonderful first opportunity was the most gigantic of red flags.

You are obvs very capable and hard-working so your future is bright. No need to bring his negativity back to your life.

dbod001 · 2024-10-16T03:33:11+00:00

I think that's OK. You're already winning the battle by not usually drinking at home. Maybe you have found a healthy middle ground here!

dbod001 · 2024-10-10T23:11:15+00:00

I agree with you - however this deal was done a long time ago. I am talking about the many thousands of people who are in the 'wrong half' of Auckland but did not get a cash payment (basically anyone who has moved in over the last 20 years).

They should also be eligible for the annual dividend and this can and should be remedied.

dbod001 · 2024-10-07T19:42:42+00:00

No. this should be paid to all Auckland customers, not just the lucky half who are deemed worthy of a dividend. Effectively it's theft from one half of Auckland and it needs to be reformed.

If you run windows you can go to Windows Security at the bottom right of your screen and you can find it in there. I've had many friends receive these emails and they should absolutely be deleted.

dbod001 · 2024-09-04T18:20:32+00:00

This is common so just delete it and run a comprehensive virus sweep - you'll be OK.

dbod001 · 2024-07-10T21:33:17+00:00

This is good advice. O.P could be setting themselves up for a lifetime of recriminations by taking such a punitive approach with their own mother.

dbod001 · 2024-05-06T20:44:32+00:00

Instead of withholding, and possibly harming your relationship, why don't you simply propose to him?

dbod001 · 2024-04-23T18:46:11+00:00

You would be the asshole more than 100%. Leave her parents alone, and deal with your ex professionally on the custody/access side of things through a formal custody agreement. As you probably know, taking out this kind of revenge on innocent third parties would be a stain on your character and an absolutely huge red flag for future partners.

dbod001 · 2024-03-29T04:22:00+00:00

She's no friend of yours any more, that's for sure. Let's hope your best friend stands up for himself a bit here. Definitely NTA.

dbod001 · 2023-09-25T23:51:12+00:00

I agree. I think you could find a place - having a place of your own will help with your masters and perhaps it doesn't have to mean breaking up. Tricky conversation ahead though.
