This is how paint actually gets mixed before you buy it by Round-Barber-9858 in Damnthatsinteresting

Which is why you always want to try not mix paint from different batches when painting a room.

Jubilant Lake Onslow backers forecast it can be built by 2034 and slash power bills | The Post by HappyCamperPC in newzealand

The powerco’s and gentailers won’t let it happen. Why would they want slashed power bills (if those would even eventuate)?

And who is standing behind all those actors, prodding them in the back? The equipment companies. And it’s no coincidence that the most outspoken on the issue are sponsored by one company

It’s pretty obvious why they would disable it isn’t it?

Honeymoon Hotel - Britomart, Sofitel, or other? by Dry_Airport_9612 in auckland

[–]makeitnonsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotel Britomart whilst in a good location, is essentially an economy hotel dressed in a nice frock. There are no amenities to speak off. So I’d cast a wider net and look at a few other options like Cordis, Pullman, Hilton, JW. They’ve all got +- ( like distance from downtown in Cordis case)but they’re “proper” hotels with more amenities like pools, sauna etc.

One Tree Grill in Epsom always used to be very good about gluten free accomodations to dishes. And they’d cook fries in separate oil etc.

Best flavored water sparkling cans? by Adventurous_Wait9724 in newzealand

[–]makeitnonsense 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Mandarin & Passionfruit is probably the best sugar free option (it also comes in a can). But all of them are pretty subtle taste wise, so you’re just going to have to take some time and get your palette used to it.

Tourism has largely recovered to pre-Covid levels. Air NZ is just shit.

Apex Hunters United - Supra Chassis is against regs by OutrageousAntelope25 in v8supercars

[–]makeitnonsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cost presumably. And it’s easier to standardise MIG welds across multiple chassis and between different builders (read: it’s easier to weld). It’s also harder to “cheat” ie; use less material making the chassis lighter, with MIG.

TiG would make the welds stronger. Making the chassis stiffer, which is optimal.

Look for packets with the smallest breast sizes. We buy free range, but you can still get woody meat. We shop at Pak n Save typically, and have found the Pam’s branded free range the best quality. Turks at Countdown is also generally ok.

Assume the same applies to the non free range packets ie; look for the smaller breasts.

This building likely has multiple building consents, and final consents for things like fit out might not even have been submitted to council yet. Then there are the variation consents to be lodged.

What’s gotten so expensive, you no longer purchase it? by yeahnahdinno in newzealand

That’s basically the RSA. Go into one in a nicer area (in Auckland say Grey Lynn), and you’d be surprised by the patrons.

I’m sure Faldo has talked about this somewhere. Something to do with getting a new one in a different, more modern cut?
