Maccas is just unbelievably awful now by Xanderulz in australia

Combined with the beeping its really hard to have any reason to go.

Then you go to the drive-thru and someone in front orders the whole menu and takes 10 minutes doing it.

Huge blow to the film industry as "Power Rangers" decides to end production in NZ after 20 years by MulciberTenebras in newzealand

[–]vontdman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I work in the business and crew are struggling across the board - subsidy being so low compared to other countries means very little is being made here now.

Yeah, working in the business in Auckland - things are very bleak at the moment with crew struggling.

Shoes that out last shoelaces by waviegravy in newzealand

[–]vontdman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Modern day walking shoes have foam soles that honestly shouldn't be worn till the end - it's bad for your feet as the structure disintegrates. That being said: My dailies are cheap Asics running shoes with the rubber underside for slip resistance and CAT boots for harsher environments.

For those of you that held past the 2021 highs and are waiting for the next bull, what is your exit strategy when it comes? by brockm92 in CryptoCurrency

[–]vontdman 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I often never see a real answer for these so I will share my strategy.

I have an DCA out exit strategy that represents the returns I am expecting from risky assets such as BTC with my average expected buy price of $25k (on BTC).
3x sell 25% at BTC $75k
4x sell 50% of remaining at BTC $100k
5x sell 75% of remaining at BTC $125k
6x sell 100% of remaining at BTC $150k

Edit: I currently DCA BTC and ETH fortnightly automatically.

Met someone the other day that's still apart of his exclusive $10K discord club. Very sad to see.

What happened to r/interestingasfuck after it began its protest? by umbertobl in TooAfraidToAsk

I left because it wasn't appropriate for the people I may be around at the time.

Yeah, once again probably most of the commenters here haven't read the article. The conditions listed actually seem to make plenty of sense.

9 month waiting list for an ultrasound?! by double0sarah in newzealand

Honestly, unless you're in extreme pain or almost dying then you won't get in timely without private.

Important stuff we need to discuss - Shortland Street. Why is it still on air? by FuzzyFuzzNuts in newzealand

[–]vontdman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, I used to work on shorty crew a few years back and it’s usually one take and move on. 10 - 11 pages a day kind of shoot (which is very very fast).

Got a sign for our toilet by AnastasiousRS in newzealand

[–]vontdman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly hate it when I go to someone's house and they have this. Lots of pressure, and not something I can clean up easily.

Best way to get rid of stuffy/clogged nose? by Pure_Environment_235 in ask

[–]vontdman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works for me every time. However, be sure to use boiled water (obviously cooled down) otherwise you may get brain killing amoeba.

I salute people who don't want kids by Breizh87 in RandomThoughts

[–]vontdman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm now realising if I don't want a family perhaps I don't really "need" a partner either.

Definitely a priority to be on the same page right from the get go on this one. My SO and I will not be having kids and the topic came up very early on.
