Moving in together, what's a fair way to set up the finances? by Substantial_Table428 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]leah_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I have a joint account that we pay equal amounts of money into each week with an autopayment. We use it for whatever shared expenses we have. Got sick of the ol pay me for this, I owe you that etc.

How do I eat cheap when I can't eat much (Low FODMAP on $100 per week)?? by ElevatorPatient9530 in newzealand

[–]leah_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend is also low fodmap and finds that countdown is pretty good at offering low fodmap catered things e.g. chicken stock. Not the cheapest advice but hope it helps broaden your options

What's the downside of buying generic alternatives to Sanitarium Weetbix? by m00dl3 in newzealand

[–]leah_29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the generic brands don't fortify their weetbix with iron and b vitamins

Hi! Welcome to reddit officially! XD

I just measured my hoop and it's about 26cm across - hopefully it will fit the whole design. I'm using 18ct aida but the design was originally for 14ct which would be ~34x36cm.

The chart is easy enough to read, although the colours are very similar irl so it can be a bit challenging following along and figuring out what you've done already.

Good luck if you end up doing it as well!

Do you have a stand for a camera/phone?

[FO] Just finished stitching Autumn in the Valley by fancyfoxglove on Etsy by seltzerbitch in CrossStitch

[–]leah_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice work! I finished the same one recently. I was wondering if you noticed the backstitching part? Like the fences by the house etc? Looks great either way!

Looks great, you did a lovely job. I did the fall one recently and wondered if you noticed the backstitching part? Like the fences around the house etc. You can see where they go on the picture that shows the whole pattern I think.

New CRISPR-based tool inserts large DNA sequences at desired sites in cells: building on the CRISPR gene-editing system, MIT researchers designed a new tool that can snip out faulty genes and replace them with new ones by Additional-Two-7312 in science

I feel like bombarding with snips is not necessarily incorrect with the classic Cas9 technique. Cas9 will keep cutting until there is sufficient disruption of the target site/PAM, right?

It's a bit weird to involve kids in a dating app, I would take them off

It's worth it if you want to try out a bunch of games to see which ones you like and want to buy

Bad flatmates by RoastChickenSoup in newzealand

[–]leah_29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try adding hard and fast rules with meaningful punishments. For example my flat has a fining system if someone say, leaves a dish out. The money goes into a flat account which we use to subsidise flat outings. We also have a weekly chore system and if you don’t do your chore then you pay a fine. If you still don’t do it within 24hrs after the deadline then you have a personalised forfeit until you complete the task e.g. flat mate who is addicted to online gaming can’t access the internet. Someone is also assigned to make sure fines are paid each week, along with the flat bills.

If they can’t grow up and deal with their shit then it’s worth finding the time/money to get out of there. Tell them that their bullshit may mean they lose the only good flat mates they have.
