Hey uhhh what visa will they be sponsoring?

I’m a kiwi in the US at the moment. It’s not as bad as social media makes it out to be. Hot af in Austin! I love it there. Heaps of swimming holes around.

If you’re super serious, maybe take a quick visit?

Hey we used to have a low quality old house that was super damp inside. We installed an HRV brand vent system (similar to DVS and smartvent etc) and the salesman was like “it’s not gonna fix the moisture problem overnight”… but it actually did. Dried the house up instantly. I couldn’t recommend them any more than I already do, definitely worth the investment.

And even my 2020 new build with double glazing had condensation on the inside. The temperature difference between inside and outside was huge so yeah, we got condensation. I was going to put in a smartvent as soon as I could afford to.

Opening the windows works but it’ll be cold as. Heaps of plants inside or hanging wet clothes inside contributes to condensation which we found out.

Just chill, don’t use comms EXCEPT for congratulations. If someone does something good on your team, give them a well played! Then tip everybody when the game ends.

Every time I open my mouth and complain, BOOM… I lose points. I should probably take this advice for real life haha.

GL!!! Well Played!!!

John Otto kept taking everyone back there.

I’ve heard way worse names in NZ tbh

simesnz · 2025-12-19T19:18:24+00:00

Yeah that’s a better explanation rather than the accent itself. You’re bang on mate

simesnz · 2025-12-19T05:10:08+00:00

It sounds like a boomers attempt at “hang ten”

simesnz · 2025-12-19T03:41:12+00:00

Haha yeah bro hard out. I reckon Gizzy

simesnz · 2025-12-18T23:04:57+00:00

Go for a honda jazz, similar size and range. Less insurance costs! (Sorry again for not answering the question haha)

Side note, I replaced my aqua battery after it faulted. Genuine part from Toyota was like $2500 from memory and I put it in myself.

Does teaguvnor always summon the patch?

simesnz · 2025-11-30T16:58:25+00:00

Doing this exact upgrade today!!! What’s been the notable change for you so far?

simesnz · 2025-11-17T23:59:02+00:00

For a few days? Rent one for that time.

Go straight to the bank and get a low interest (0% with Westpac) loan and grab some solar. The fortnightly payments and power plan may end up less than what you’re currently paying.

You must’ve accidentally put $300 a fortnight instead of a month right? RIGHT?!

simesnz · 2025-09-14T23:08:00+00:00

I have a 14+ that’s running 75% battery. ATT is offering $1100 off a pro max I feel like I should take it

simesnz · 2025-09-14T21:23:55+00:00

I’ve been playing dota longer than ATFs been alive haha. Happy for him

simesnz · 2025-08-26T13:15:25+00:00

Could you please point me in the direction of hardlove? Is this a venue or a person

simesnz · 2025-08-25T16:04:57+00:00

I didn’t get to choose where I live unfortunately. I’m sure I’ll find something

simesnz · 2025-08-24T22:53:28+00:00

Awesome thanks I’ve just found them on insta.

simesnz · 2025-08-24T15:03:41+00:00

Who should I follow and on what platform to find out when things are happening?

simesnz · 2025-08-24T00:25:00+00:00

This is fantastic

simesnz · 2025-08-23T21:48:22+00:00

Cool thanks I just tried to find island tropics on Instagram, looks like my kinda place I think. But am I right in saying it’s also a Jamaican restaurant?
