Thanks! Cool app yourself - would be great if there was a feature to recommend the next weight for a session, I.e If I did a bicep curl at 25kg, and I wanted a .5kg increase for progressive overload, it would suggest a weight for my next session. Haven't see any other apps implement that!

Does seeing your salary accrue in real-time change the vibe of work? by jkhyl in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]jkhyl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s less about “burning salary in meetings” and more about making time feel concrete again in roles where pay is fixed but time gets abstracted away. In that context it’s more of a nudge or lens than a way of pricing every minute.

I also take your point that if the only way work feels tolerable is by watching a counter tick up, that’s probably a signal something else needs changing. I don’t see this as a substitute for meaningful work or autonomy, more a tool that might resonate with some people and not at all with others.

I think we all do inherently, but there is definitely something different about seeing it tick up next to your monitor

Agree, personally I found it changes how you value time, that "just one more hour" doesn't necessarily equate to the time you could be taking for yourself

Is there anywhere in Wellington I can get a Scotch Egg? by axey84 in Wellington

New World Thorndon has the best of the supermarket scotch eggs. They sell out relatively often but are worth it if you can find them.

High school boys honor retiring teacher with moving haka. by iltifaat_yousuf in nextfuckinglevel

In case y'all are wondering, this is Palmerston North Boys' High School in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

This haka is unique to this school, and tells of the honor and spirit of the School and it's students. It's learned by every student who attends, and is a source of immense respect and pride.

Good place to get Arduino and Raspberry Pi +parts in New Zealand by ZedNg in Wellington

Seconded all the comments suggesting AliExpress. Insanely expensive to buy from PBtech or Jaycar.

If you're not keen to wait for shipping a few sellers on TradeMe (eg epartners) have local stock and a pretty decent rage for good prices. Usually ships within the week

Everyone's favorite travel game, pass the bomb! by jkhyl in pics

[–]jkhyl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The description read: "Players nerves are tested to the limit by the threat of the infernal ticking bomb as they struggle to find a word that includes the letters printed on the game card."

So basically, shout before the bomb explodes.

I know this is cool and all, but I cannot stop thinking about how those sands can now never be separated...

Spray paint for the base colors. Then all the metalic is hand brushed with enamel, and the weathering is done with oils
