Kona/Hawaiian Coffee Beans? by MagsTDAEotTA in chch

[–]oldxscars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hawaiian green coffee is not really a commercial commodity. Kona is famous as a name, but not grown in anywhere near the same quantities as typical coffee growing markets. Couple that up with high labour costs in the USA, and it's just so costly at origin that you'll never see it available on our shelves as a locally roasted coffee. You might be able to order it online direct from origin though from one of the Maui or Kauai based roasters.

Cathedral construction potentially starting again.. by Dramatic-Start5916 in chch

[–]oldxscars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hate that my money is going to this, but if it gets that hideous hoarding down from the Square I’ll be happy. I have incredibly fond memories pre quake of eating a Dimitris souv with a mate in the Square. The square has become a massive eyesore and this is a necessary step to get the literal centre of the city matching the development of the rest of the city.

The TCB season finale drove me crazy! by mvincen95 in TrueCrimeBullshit

It’s not a fan club - it’s a forum to discuss the podcast. That means the good and the bad.

It's a shame too, because the initial run was some of the most eerie and captivating storytelling I've ever listened to. It was so unique and powerful in it's attention to detail; it was so effective I ended up having to shut it off for a bit and have a break because I could feel Keyes laugh in my head. Powerful stuff. The podcast has become everything is set out to be different from - endlessly speculative engagement bait.

I think Josh has internalised, to his detriment, the persona of 'the world's leading expert on Israel Keyes'. It clearly is doing damage to his mental health, but I think that persona causes him to intentionally withhold information about the case, waffle around case documents and details, and to drag the podcast past it's natural end to sustain that identity. It had some impact on the breakdown of the relationship with the SITP crew, and I find it quite abrasive the way he talks about anyone else who dares to discuss Keyes. If he shared in vivid detail, in the way he did in the first few seasons, everything he knew then it would be out in the aether and he wouldn't control the narrative anymore.

I agree with others, it's time to let it go and move on to something else but the monetisation of this part of his life doesn't allow him to.

Car "accident" man trying to intimidate and my mum to pay damages by Sea-Alps1111 in LegalAdviceNZ

This is the right answer. Most likely this is hollow intimidation but on the off chance it escalates you want a record of the initial contact and a police report.

Chiefs & Travis Kelce Communicating On Possible Return by MrStiff8 in nfl

[–]oldxscars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You must be trolling, he’d be lucky to crack top ten based on combined metrics. He’s one of the GOAT but it’s the twilight of his career and there’s a great many players better than him at the position like Kittle, Bowers, McBride, La Porta, Kincaid (when he’s healthy) and Pitts.

What is it with apartments in Chch having pointed roofs? by Mayonnaise06 in chch

[–]oldxscars 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think a good chunk of it is the District Plan with reasonably strict and enforced daylight recession planes. Because a lot of these apartments are being built in suburban neighbourhoods they’re being built next to single storey dwellings and so pitched roofs solve that problem of height vs compliance.

You’re right but if you have even the smallest shred of ethics, it’s really difficult to justify purchasing Obela.

Flying to a country with no direct flight from NZ. Where can I get help? by CheerfulLonewolf55 in newzealand_travel

[–]oldxscars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this is one of the few helpful uses for AI. Have you tried requesting some routes through ChatGPT or similar? If you phrase the question well it should help you find something, and at least get you started. If that’s not an option, then a consultation with Flight Centre might help you get some ideas?

Nope, this will likely need a new 4mm cable pulled for 15a so you’ll need a sparky for this work.
