I moved to NZ with a backpack and 2000 dollars in my name. Seven years now, I have been permanent resident for a while

What's something you can't buy ready made, but have to make at home? in c/[email protected]

It's not like a crazy recipe that needs balanced flavors to be done right.

We're talking British cuisine here

LineageOS now officially supports the Pixel 9 series in c/technology

I remember reading some Reddit comments about certain camera functions no longer working. I bought the pixel for the camera and I don't want to break that functionality.

Disclaimer: I've never really looked into different OS's and what they do/don't do

Yeah I did that with an old Motorola, it went for years. Now I have a pixel and it seems to come with a lot of features that break when installing an alternative OS

Well, I was mostly concerned about google knowing where I'm shopping. I know using google pay is lazy buy I'm not perfect...

Does NFC still work? (I know that low key defeats the purpose of a privacy oriented android build but yeah)

More men without kids are getting vasectomies, doctors say in c/[email protected]

Whole thing lasts no more than 15-20 minutes. I took it easy for a few days but otherwise no issues. Was riding my bike and all that about five days after.

The only uncomfortable bit is when they put the anaesthetic... there's no easy way of saying this, but they have to stick the needle in both of the sperm ducts. That's a little uncomfortable but it lasts no more than 5 seconds per nut. From there on out no issues. You feel some stuff moving around down there, but no pain.

I had the scalpel free method, fwiw.

My clinic sent me this video to prep. It's quite useful. https://youtu.be/gzpYhe8QBsA

New Zealand Covid inquiry finds vaccine mandates were ‘reasonable’ in c/news
[–] Noedel 2 points 1 month ago

I am grateful for how NZ handled it. I'm mostly critiquing the very end of the pandemic when the government started going against ministry advice. I appreciate how lucky we were. I don't know anyone who died from covid.

What's a good and non patronising way to help my neighbour out (self.asklemmy)
 

My neighbour has a cat called Stevie. Stevie hangs out with us a lot and we look after him when my neighbour is away.

Yesterday we found Stevie very unwell in our garden. We took him to the neighbour and she immediately rushed him to the vet.

She mentioned the vet was 200 dollars which was a big unexpected expense for her. Her son's birthday is on Monday and she won't be able to do anything for his birthday now.

My wife and I are fortunate enough for 200 dollars to not be a lot of money for us and we want to help, but I'm unsure how.

One option would be that we leave her a little card with 100 dollars and write that we wanted to help because we care about Stevie too.

Another idea is we ask her to do some gardening for us (that's her job, and we're too busy to do it ourselves right now).

I don't want her to feel patronised or awkward about any of this... Happy to take insights.

I literally can not wait for this. Cycling there is so awful.

Suck a shame they don't do a town centre upgrade. The Grey Lynn shops could use some love.

First of all I'm not a tourist coming here to complain about NZ!

But I have some friends from overseas visiting, and holy heck how do people afford to come to holiday here... 12k for a motorhome for three weeks! And that's excluding insurance.

With the price of a new motorhome, surely they're making obscene profits on these?

Cascade Saddle, New Zealand (self.hiking)

Went her as a side trip on the Rees Dart track from Queenstown. It was a pretty grueling ascent from the hut, climbing almost 1000 metres on scree and rocks. The 18 km round trip took us quite a while!

This hike (5 days total) was absolutely stunning.

How do I tell my neighbours the windows in their bathroom are not frosted enough? (self.asklemmy)
 

Neighbours recently had their home remodelled, which involved them putting new glazing in their bathroom. The glass is not frosted enough and there's a lot to see.

They are large windows too, starting at knee hight. How do I bring this up?

Bonus points if someone can tell me why this community keeps showing my subscription as pending.
