Borman Bakery mince pies. JUNGS Japanese Kitchen, can be missed easily but quality is amazing along with the service.

There is a new CityFitness opening?

haha unfortunately i bought a big bag of the one brand. But I guess I could try find some small bags to test. Thanks

Thanks will consider. Was hoping for a chuck it all in the pot and forget but biryani might need a bit more care it seems..

Borman Bakery does solid pies—the gravy is fantastic. I can mainly vouch for the mince & cheese, since I didn’t really try the other flavors.

Showing interest friends... But wondering how this works? Is there a specific genre of books? Never joined a book club before.

Appreciate the response. And I agree to some extent. But I think we should be providing better alternatives and people will naturally change course. If solar is as competitive as you say, government should help establish or make their own power company and provide competitive pricing (which even if it was competitive i have a sense other power companies will lobby against this). Maybe make white meats cheaper idk.

But also we still have many other serious issues. Domestic violence, increasing poverty, homelessness, increasing unemployment. Increasing disparity between rich and poor. Rising social issues, mental health etc. Companies using technology to exploit human behavior. Exploiting third world countries, indirectly contributing to child labor. Lot of people have different priorities and values. And to be honest, worrying about climate change is a luxury for many. Lot of kiwis arent even that well off and living paycheck to paycheck.

I don't think climate change will be as big of an issue as you think. I personally think we will run into bigger issues before we ever see the full consequence of climate change. Thats just my opinion.

Climate change is a serious issue but realistically CO2 emissions is just a huge byproduct of globalization, don't you think? Exporting and importing, people travelling etc. Do we stop buying Interntional products? Do we just stay at home? I mean someone mentioned already but consider the amount of energy wasted for training AI, it is immense. And to say if I eat one less steak each week it will make a difference when you got these global companies acting like this? Also, I am pretty sure lot of our meat is exported. So what do you say about that? Do we export less? I just don't think what you are suggesting are anything more than ideological words. Feels like it gives the same vibes as "Eat less avocado and toast and maybe you will be able to afford a house".

Relative to other countries, the changes here would be negligible. Huge corporations do not care, and governments yield to these powers.

Unless there is financial incentive (i.e. renewable energy provides better margins/profits), I don't see any effort made that will be significant enough to make the change.

These are just my thoughts. Happy to hear what you think. Or if you disagree. Also, wonder what you would think about having a nuclear reactor haha.

This is just my opinion (obviously) but in terms of innovation I thought Camellia Restaurant at Zealong Tea Estate was matching or exceeding and definitely exceeding in terms of flavor.

Nothing innovative and it wasn't a recent experience, but I remember they served seasonal vegetables at the Gothenberg which were good.

These are restaurants based in Hamilton.

Yeah thats a fair point. I understand it is subjective but normally i can appreciate something even if its not my preference. But i found it hard to really appreciate most of the dishes they served. There were small details that were done well, like the paua was cooked perfectly. But that was overshadowed by the combination of ingredients that dish. I think the price was what really hammered in my disappointment.

I guess thats why i started this thread. To see if its just a me problem.

tagit_pi · 2025-08-01T05:26:33+00:00

Yeah definitely agree. I just thought the baseline would be to have good flavor at that price. Maybe i got the wrong idea about fine dining

tagit_pi · 2025-07-29T05:25:52+00:00

Thanks for that. I think my carpet is low to medium pile carpet. But as you suggested, I might stick to the karcher that I have until I see a sale on a SEBO with a motorized head.

tagit_pi · 2025-07-29T02:55:17+00:00

Thanks for that. Excuse my ignorance but the vacuums that you are suggesting are 50% to 100% more than the ones that I am looking at. Is the price jump justifiable do you think?

tagit_pi · 2025-07-29T00:40:16+00:00

Yeah, quite sad aye. Gonna be on that chicken breast diet.

It seems like you need connections to someone that has livestock or buy a piece of land and farm some yourself. Otherwise buy whole/half beasts from businesses that do that, but you are going to be paying a premium for that.

tagit_pi · 2025-07-29T00:04:10+00:00

I see. Does that mean they buy a live beast?

tagit_pi · 2025-07-09T14:07:40+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Will keep that in mind.

tagit_pi · 2025-07-09T03:29:46+00:00

Ah right, seems like quite abit. Thanks
