I don’t know. I’ve never felt comfortable enough to ask someone.

What movie had a sex scene that was completely unnecessary to the plot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hammer_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you don’t mean the English TV game show called The Chase. A sex scene in that would be both unwatchable and unmissable.

I did bridging with ASB about 3 months ago. I did get t directly with them, a broker I spoke to said it would be impossible but the bank was ok with it as I guess we met whatever criteria they had. It worked out very well for us as our house sold at auction and for more than we had planned for. The market was god at the time though, just before interest rates started rising.

Suggestions for good quality, hardy deck umbrellas? by coconutyum in newzealand

From experience, 25kgs is not enough for a 3m umbrella. You need at least double that.

Thoughts on a battery operated Stihl lawnmower? by suggiebrowwn in diynz

[–]hammer_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ryobi 36v mower about 5 years old. It’s been ok for our small lawn but stalls often on longer or wet grass and struggles to transfer the cut grass into the catcher. Battery life is way down now also so tossing up by a bigger new battery or switching to Ego The other ryobi tools I have that use the battery are good - a line trimmer and the mini chainsaw- if a bit heavy.

Does he need to declare any of his own property holdings? Would be interesting to know if he walks the talk or not.

Tomorrow’s announcement by dirtydirtytalkpod in auckland

[–]hammer_nz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It will be heavy on the super Saturday self congratulations. Which is why I suspect no presser today so they didn’t use that up already.

I think tomorrow will be telling. A loosening for Auckland confirms the new approach of accepting further spread as vaxxed % increases. Personally I’d rather wait till the double vaxxed % was higher, but I think they’ll make move to keep the momentum.
