How about they take a permanent percentage off of all their staple groceries for the next X months so people can get by, rather than buying some new signs? 🤷♂️
Sam Cane is just a liability in general (during the game and afterwards). Surely this takes the captaincy off of him.
Promising start for the All Blacks so far. I love playing Argentina, always plenty of passion from their team and supporters.
Try and be excited about it 🙂 overseas opportunities don't come around all that often (for the most of us) and it's completely normal to be a little nervous - but you probably know as well as well all do, that once you're back, you'll wish you were still on your trip!!
Lemmy has actually been such a breath of fresh air for me since jumping over from Reddit. Great to hear you've got some friends around for Matariki, I'm in the process of trying to convince my Uncle and younger cousin to make the trip from Akl to Chch 🤞
Spent the last couple of evenings trying to get myself acquainted with Anno. Both times I've found myself back to playing good ol' Rise of Nations again. I'm still to find an RTS game that comes close to RoN...
Yeah, hence I thought Spark might try and finish up the BigPipe brand and wrap it into Skinny 🤷♂️ all the DNS servers etc. all point to Spark infr. now anyway. Same concept as people running off to different insurance companies without realising they're mostly underwritten by the same set of corporates anyway 😂
Somewhat related - I'm surprised BigPipe is still up and kicking, I've been with them for many years now with the expectation they'll throw us over to Skinny or just directly to Spark at some point but never seems to happen 🤔 there are some slightly cheaper options out there in terms of plans, but I paid a one-off fee for a static IP some time ago and would be a real pain to lose it, especially when most providers these days seem to charge a monthly fee for a static IP rather than a one off cost (presumably because of the shift to CG-NAT)
Perhaps it was someone hitting Elon's new Tweet viewing limit?
South Island Winter getaway spots?
Feeling the need to get out of town for a bit and disconnect - wondering if anyone has some good suggestions (preferably not too far out of Chch/Canterbury) to go and explore for a few days in winter? I've got a 4WD so getting off road isn't a problem. Some of my favourites are the likes of Peel Forest or Castle Hill - any good hidden places anyone is keen to share? 😉
Given the way Christchurch and the wider Canterbury area has sprawled since the earthquakes, I think this is well overdue.
Hard to tell if it's ignorance or boredom that drive people to this kind of stuff. Perhaps a combination of both...
Plans for more specific location Communities (i.e. cities/towns etc.)?
Hi, keen to understand what the plans are for potentially creating town/city specific communities? Understand that while the user count is still growing, it may not make sense just yet but I'd be very keen to hopefully see c/chch at some stage. Apologies if I've missed this info elsewhere... 🤔
Edit OK, fully missed the fact that Auck. and Wel. already exist.
Fired up my pizza oven for the first time yesterday. First batch of pizzas were certainly edible, although I'm on the hunt for a bangin' homemade pizza sauce recipe if anyone has any tips... Emergency Domino's run was not required, so that's success in my book.
Probably not, seems like my excuse to go outside and touch grass... yet here I am.... 🙄
