I for one support more culture in the city. This piece expresses the artists feelings about the supermarket duopoly in a striking way. A nice contemplative addition to my morning walk.

Should I scrap or sell my car?

6 Upvotes

I’m needing some outside thoughts on this as I’m not sure what to do in this situation.

I have a 2007 Toyota Auris where the transmission is failing. I replaced the front suspension in January, and the rear suspension needs doing again next January. All up, the repairs over a 12 month period were estimated to cost $5,500, and the car was only insured for about that much. The upholstery in the front drivers seat is also starting to tear.

I’m gutted that it’s having all these issues as it’s been a great little car for the 10 years that I’ve had it. Other than the issues above, the car is still in great condition.

My mum & MIL have suggested I sell the car “as is where is” now that I’ve bought a new car, but my partner reckons I’ll have issues selling it and should scrap it instead.

So, redditors, what would you do in this situation?

So the Odyssey and tron theaters

1 Upvotes

So I watched Oppenhimmer at a standard cinema and felt something was lacking.

Dont live in the tron any longer - are there any cinema screens which are more in the imax ratio for the Odyssey?

Not trekking to Auckland but cambridge and te awamutu also considered.

Last movie was actually Oppenhimmer so Im a bit out of touch

Does anyone know what GP clinics have ADHD pathways set up?

8 Upvotes

I'm thinking of enrolling in the Victoria street clinic, I called and they said they had them, but does anyone know if this was true? I'm not sure if the receptionist quite understood what I was asking about. And does anyone know of clinics that definitely do have pathways for ADHD diagnosis and prescription set up?

Looking for hikers/naturalists

Hi all! 33 male here. I'm looking for people to explore with! Not just any exploration though, I like to be curious, go off track, spend time looking at mushrooms or little critters.

I don't hike for the views I hike for the journey and discovery along the way! I've been known to be in streams at 1am in the middle of the forest looking for native fish and seeing what's around or taking 4 hours to do a half hour walk, or having to walk out in the dark cause I got side tracked.

I also love to look at Lidar data and find potential historic sites in the forest and then adventure out to them.

If it sounds like something you enjoy please reach out!

Hoping to find some peeps who could be down on a good deep chat, do weird but fun stuff together, don't take things too seriously and want to do fun stuff together.

Pricing for private surgery for an inguinal hernia in Hamilton

6 Upvotes

This is probably a long shot but I thought I'd ask anyways; I have an inguinal hernia and am currently on the public waiting list, the problem is that the wait time is still quite a while and I was curious as to whether anyone in Hamilton has had the same thing and opted to go private. If so, what was the cost like? What surgeon / specialist would you recommend? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Support groups for depression

9 Upvotes

Hey, these feelings are new to me but they are very intense. I've been suffering severely with waves of depression particularly when I'm alone, accompanied by suicidal thoughts and I was wondering if there were support groups that could help or like minded people who would want to grab coffee at lunch in the week. Not really sure what it'll achieve but I know I'm not okay and I would like to be. I find socialising to be a great distraction. I'm just a bit lost with how to overcome it and concerned about the episodes I'm having.

Thanks

Hey guys, I’m semi fluent in sign language because my brother is deaf. I’m wondering if there’s any sign language clubs in Hamilton that I could join. I’m wanting to expand my vocabulary in sign language. I know it’s a bit of a niche one, I’ve only met a handful of people in Hamilton that use sign.

Thank you!

Lost! Silver marcasite filigree shield ring at Bremworth Park

Kia ora fam, I have lost a family heirloom 😢 Reward $100

I was walking roughly around the perimeter of the park, give or take a few metres.

The photo is for illustrative purposes only, my ring is a bit more square and has a different design.

Please keep an eye out, also does anyone know what day they mow the park? I hate to think how damaged it would get if it were run over.

Will hopefully be borrowing a metal detector this week.
