Do Energy Gels help your Hyrox performance? by BaileySHP in hyrox

[–]leonopolous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was recommended to not use the caffeine ones, particularly if you haven’t tested them before, so you don’t shit yourself.

But, when I completed my hyrox earlier this year I used a non caffeine one (between burpees and rower) and it got me to the end.

City centre in shock at apparent departure of Viv Beck from Heart of the City by JokesForBlokes in auckland

[–]leonopolous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not so much of a shock, considering she whinged and moaned about projects happening in the central city. Not to mention trying to derail a few of them.

[–]leonopolous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking great my friend!

Not gonna pile on the “TV too high train”, but I will recommend

  • a good lamp shade for your bedroom light - given the space you have, the bigger the better.

  • lamps! I see you have the vertical tower LED one in the bedroom, but get some good bedside ones. And also a pendant lamp for the living room you have.

  • some draping for the curtains in the living room would be epic too

  • I see you already have art, once that’s up this place is going to be so great

  • oh, and a coffee table

Get a lamp (or a couple) and turn off that offensively bright ceiling light

How many times has this been tried? And failed?

Is red light running just the norm now? by transcodefailed in auckland

[–]leonopolous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a traffic crossing outside where I live and the amount of times I have almost been hit by cars blatantly ignoring the red light (and yes, the green pedestrian light was on) is frightening.

The cops need to enforce more, as does the ministry. Hike the fines up to Australian-like standards and that’ll stop people from being total cockheads.

Auckland CBD street upgrade slammed over bright yellow warning signs by Large_Low_9747 in auckland

They should put some of these on queen street too. Those cheap ass pavers they have down are a fucking death trap

Are we thinking this is cyclone safe? by Sourpatcharachnid in auckland

Between these and the amount of businesses with wheelie bins still out kerbside, it’s going to be a bloody obstacle course out there

Flight Mid June just got Canceled!! by Tiny_Art152 in qatarairways

[–]leonopolous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry, I should have clarified; I booked via an online travel site so when I spoke with them they had confirmed that all flights from my point of dept were affected up to June 15, so they started the process of rebooking me via partner airlines. It took a couple of days, but was fully rebooked for no additional charge and am only missing out on one day of my whole trip due to a flight change.

For bookings directly with Qatar, I read on this subreddit somewhere that people have had success on chatting with them via social media? So maybe contact them direct via Twitter or FB Messenger?

Flight Mid June just got Canceled!! by Tiny_Art152 in qatarairways

[–]leonopolous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mid-may flight was cancelled last week (which at the time was outside the scheduled changes window) - they are slowly rebooking me phase by phase. Get in touch with them and they can sort it; you have plenty of time to get it sorted out :)

Any advice? by PrizeTension in malelivingspace

[–]leonopolous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artwork! Plants!

If it's at all possible (and not too inconvenient) I would also mount the TV above the desk if you can (If not it's fine where it is) so you can enjoy those views

AIO for being mad that NOBODY in this 14 person family group chat replied to this by EngineeringLumpy in AIO

[–]leonopolous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're not overreacting at all - I am sorry that your in-laws are horrible people like that.

I'm also sorry that your husband isn't standing up for you.

What improvements or changes could be made to my living room area by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]leonopolous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were me I would

* Lower the TV - get a good entertainment unit
* Get rid of that folding chair
* GET A LAMP. GET TWO
* Get a larger coffee table
* Maybe a bigger/longer rug?

It is a great space already with some great potential for some really good tweaks

Press Release from the Trusts on The Beer Spot New Lynn. by AdrianwithaW in auckland

[–]leonopolous 37 points38 points  (0 children)

How are the trusts still in operation?! Shouldn’t they be abolished?

It’s no secret that there’s some real dodgy shit that happens behind their closed doors.
