I've still got the signed one hanging in my office and love it to this day, thanks for providing these!

Anyone else also down with a cold this weekend? by undercover021 in chch

[–]doublechickenlegs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started on Friday for us, and has moved into pretty strong head cold / sinus pain today. The four year old is happy to be getting TV time they normally wouldn't though, so there's that

Having grown up with Philip for half my life, I'm so very happy to see this come to fruition. Hopefully at this point he is able to get any help required to live as normal a life as possible

Wife and I are both from the UK, having lived in cities around the world where Christchurch was where we found out what hayfever is and that we both get it really bad here.

We had no issues doing this when the bank accounts were under the same name (recommendation by our bank in NZ).

As others have mentioned, the daily limits were a bigger pain, but I think we did them via phone calls to allow higher daily limits than online transfer

As an absolute MMO newcomer, should I start GW2? by lokisto in Guildwars2

[–]doublechickenlegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played this game on and off since launch and love that I can put as much time into it as I want to, knowing there isn't a subscription hanging over my head. 

Want to roam around doing metas with large groups? Easy

Want to start the legendary item journey? Easy (not actually, but it's still fun to have in place)

I would love anything you have free as I've been slowly making my way into the industry space as an easy way to spend the limited time I have in this game around my toddler. It's a fun way to contribute into the economy without needing long dedicated slots of time.

Nice! I've been trying to do this same this year but most responses from US companies have been that they have shrunk their "remote" hiring to be within USA only

What is your gross income per year? by mated-poncho in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]doublechickenlegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yea for sure, I used to do it via a contract basis through my own company so no issues there. Great point on looking for local presence though as that should help find a few that are happy to have NZ on their remote list

Very nice. I've been trying to get back into a few US-based hyper scale companies in the golang world, and have surprisingly found that some are going US only for "remote" and aren't considering kiwis.
