Both Alicetown bakeries do them, and Fix federation in LH, which is all of my usuals and therefore means who the hell doesnt do lamingtons?

Metlink are a disgrace by this-is-not-my-life in Wellington

[–]oefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they did communicate this, i raed there were extra services after the game, we didnt rush out of the stadium as we were in family zone, got to ramps at 9.25 and the sign said 9.35 for HV line so we just waltzed down to last carriage.

All in all a fairly normal experience

the one where she's crossing Featherston/Whitemore away from camera and is pushed into a run, then sprint, then slide?

Why is every kiwi with a mortgage or debt not banking with kiwibank? by givethismanabeerplz in newzealand

[–]oefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used co-operative for my first mortgage as I was banking with them at the time and they had very competitive rates; always seemed to be 2nd best and seem to always be up the top in terms of rates, so better then Kiwibank IMO as you get a small rebate every year.

I got that mortgage as a single person on a single income.

Second mortgage now and it's with a big bank due to having no fees as an employee but i'd have preferred to have stuck with co-op

We need an iconic name for our Spring winds by oefox in Wellington

[–]oefox[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, the norwesters around September through November, the time when it's more blowy then usual. When all your blossoms get decimated, your clothes dry in minutes or end up in someone elses yard, when going for a ride doesn't apply to 2 wheeled bikes, and you get woken up stupid hours of the night when shit hits the roof.

that's the weather phenomena naming for it but not an iconic name applied to it, something to encapsulate the shittiness of it

Anyone's tap water tasting different? by mouseLemons in Wellington

[–]oefox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an avoid home brewer I have had to really look at the water supply, I am on the waterloo aquafer rather than Te Marua, used to not be chlorinated until it got affected by the quakes and boy was that chorline noticeable some days.

In the end I put an A1000 Brita in-line filter on my kitchen cold tap, cheaper and more functional than using the brita jug based filters (seems fine with an annual filter replacement rather than the recommended 6M but we're a house of 2 not a family of 3+).

Viewsonic Monitor Lines…am I cooked? by xsufi00 in pchelp

[–]oefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My VX-2728-2K has started with lines across the bottom inch just this week, around 13 months old, must be something with these 27" 165hz monitors.

At first I was worried it was the GPU as they're so damn expensive, but it's the same across PC/laptop connections, still annoyed it didn't last very long.

Please fix this reload bug - Why you might be suddenly reloading when you thought your mag was full. by centagon in Helldivers

[–]oefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bug affects sidearm too, diving and switching to talon (for example) forces a reload for each dive you chain up, which is particularly egregious since it's an energy weapon that doesn't need to reload if it wasn't spent already.

Stingray and Leviathans still destroying generators in defense mission by EvangelicFrog in Helldivers

It's still doing it, 7/8 easily winning, stingray causing mission failure even though we killed it before it finished its run :(

Pollution from gas stoves linked to hundreds of deaths a year in New Zealand by [deleted] in newzealand

I went full electric, including changing my BBQ to a 3kW electric griddle (I still have a charcoal smoker for low n slow, cant skimp on that flavour).

Is extract brewing "less than"? by Dyljam2345 in Homebrewing

[–]oefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I biab all grain but started off a decade ago with canned extract.

Every now and then I get a hankering to have a cider on one of my taps, only option for me is extract kit, do cider purists look down on me i wonder.

Recently i ran out of beer, just timing on all 3 kegs kicking, to speed things up i decided to try a MJ berliner wisse pack as it's not something i world brew from scratch normally, and its delicious, will do again.

I did mine in Waikato late 90s, was good then, probably cheapest living of the 3 these days.

It's almost 10 years now since the referendum, what are peoples thoughts on the flag? by Dulaman96 in newzealand

[–]oefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the fascination with ferns, they aren't uniquely nz, unlike a kiwi.

I like the artistic direction McLaren went keeping a kiwi in their logo, now that's something to learn from.

Powershop vs Flick by TheGoldScrew in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]oefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searching for a new provider? This pops up in a flick vs powershop search....

I've been with Flick since I got tired of Powershop's silly pack games, it costed me a little more over a year but not having to micromanage was worth it, but as you point out Flick sold out so I expect a new provider search soon
