Please do not rule out Christchurch. Dispite the name and a bad rep from back in the 80s-90s with skin heads, we are a reasonably liberal place. Benefits of Chch. Housing, is much cheaper. The main hospital is right in the middle of town, next to a beautiful large park. The town centre is basically brand new (due to earthquakes from a while ago). If you live in the town centre, everything you need is within walking distance.

4·7 months agoThis is my go-to. But never added sugar to the top before. Normally go pumpkin seeds, or sesame seeds, or the kids like cheese on the top.

Homebrewing - Beer, Mead, Wine, Cider@sopuli.xyz•Reusing plastic lids/capsEnglish
4·8 months agoWhen I was even more poor than I am now, I would reuse the metal caps. If you remove them carefully, you can press them on again. With plastic bottles I find the bottles get uncleanable long before the caps do (I get around 10x uses out of a plastic bottle).

2·8 months agoThat is a good write up. Seems like they would have easily got away with it, if they had been more careful with the company details.

Aotearoa / New Zealand@lemmy.nz•Greyhound adoption sours over terms and conditions
3·11 months agoI love it how those two rule pretty much rule out every one who wants a Greyhound! Maybe with the exception of those who just love being able to put a cute little coat on a big gangly dog.

1·11 months agoYou could easily be describing most farm dogs. I think dogs having a small run and a kennel, where they spend most of there time, and getting to go for regular runs is just fine. If you compare this to pigs, then then a track dogs life starts to look pretty good. But we are not banning piggeries are we!

3·11 months agoI might be wrong, but I assume agricultural barley, is not malted.

196•For some reason every conversation about this simple rule gets way too toxicEnglish
2·11 months agoThis implies you can not tell the person’s gender, which for most people is perfectly obvious. So often can cause offence. I realize not using they/them can also cause offence, but just much less often.

JamesNZ@lemmy.worldtoFrugal@lemmy.world•What's your favorite frugal find this week?English
8·1 year agoAs someone with fruit trees that are on the road side boarder of my property, I agree, it is theft and really annoying. Especially people taking the fruit when it is not quite ripe. To be honest if some one asks for some I am happy to let them take a small amont. When I see what looks like a copious amount of fruit on an overhanging tree, I ask the property owner. I have never been denied.
Great write up. I will be able to seem like I know a thing or two at work chat tomorrow!
As mentioned, you need the pad to be hot for the solder to wick onto it. There is missing info in step 1. Step 1 should say to have a slightly wet iron (solder on the iron). You used this molten solder as the heat transfer medium. Hold the iron so the wet solder on it is touching the pad and lead. This gives more surface area for the heat to travel from the iron to the pad. A dry iron touching a pad will have poor thermal connection, so the pad will take a long time to heat up.
Small claim to fame, but the model was my great uncles wife.
