Hey team. I am looking to get my roof replaced in the near future. Any recommendations for roofing companies please?

Prefer local.

Anyone Else notice this on Stuff?

Looking at the Manawatu Standard on Stuff - a lot of the Palmy articles are redirecting to ThePost.co.nz

Only problem is you have to be a subscriber to see these articles. Including What is Happening in Palmy this week.

Bearded Dragon Research Study

Kia Ora,

I’m helping a friend with her research on bearded dragon care. She’s looking into ways to better diagnose metabolic bone disease and needs X-rays from anyone who’s had their bearded dragon X-rayed before. If you’re cool with sharing your X-rays for her study, or consent to sharing your vets details it would be super helpful!

Thanks so much!

Mods please let me know if this is allowed or not, I couldnt see anything in the rules regarding this!

town isn’t safe right now.

I’m a minor girl and over the past week 3 guys have followed me, my friends and other classmates around town shouting inappropriate things. The only way they’ve left us alone is by us getting security. This happened on friday after school to three of my friends, they were followed through the plaza. On saturday one of my girl classmates was followed by two guys, same description, into timezone. Today me and one of my friends were walking to cotton on and through the alley near cotton on the same 3 guys came, yelling at us to slow down and that we were asking for it looking like that (we were both wearing hoodies and jeans). They followed us into cotton on but stopped shouting, we got security and they took us to our car. If you have daughters or are a girl please don’t go into town without a male or adult!

quick edit, all happened during day time when it was fully crowded and guys were atleast 40s. my friends range from 13-17 so nothings really safe.

REA recommendations

Hi all,

I'm after recommendations for a real estate agent in palmy, as I have a house to sell and it has been some time since I've lived in Palmy.

Requirements:

  • Professional behaviour, in good faith dealing with all parties
  • Knows how to use technology - fillable PDF forms for example
  • Actually listens, and doesn't baffle me with bullshit
  • Can deal with a remote sale.

I've had good and bad experiences with real estate agents... trying to have more good than bad.

Thanks

some pretty cool photos from 80s Palmy in the Guardian!

Some pretty cool features here - certainly didn't expect Palmy to be featured in The Guardian's photos pages!

computer repair shop suggestions?

Kia ora!

My MacBook Air's battery has decided to shit the bed and now cannot hold a charge to save its life. After just 600 cycles, no less... (and no, I don't fast-charge or keep it plugged in 24/7, not until now at least)

Anyone with any suggestions on good places in Palmy (or surrounds) to get it replaced? (I'm currently based in Dannevirke). And maybe a rough idea of how much it might cost?

Thanks all!

*it's the Intel i3 model from early 2020, if anyone's interested. an anaemic, underpowered dog of a laptop imho, but as they say, you make the bed, you lie in it...

Single ladies, where do we find you in the world?

After realizing I spend my day to day studying and working with nothing social going on and the majority of my friends now living in Aus, I realized this is pretty critical especially at 22.

Lately I've been out there making friends but the fellas I've met are really into male dominated hobbies like motorbiking.

So now I'm asking the woman of Palmy, where do we find you outside of dating apps without looking like total weirdos?

Survey for parents/caregivers to children aged 2-12 - looking at what children know about sharks

Hi everyone,

I am a scientist from Australia - I am looking for participants, from across the world, for some new research I am doing.

Are you the parent/caregiver of a child aged 2-12 years? If so, we kindly invite you to participate in our short online survey about sharks. We are interested in what children know about sharks, so this survey involves you completing a couple of questions about sharks, and then asking your children some questions about sharks. You will then be asked to write what your children say or what they do (e.g. if they use hand gestures).

LINK TO SURVEY:

https://research.unisa.edu.au/redcap/surveys/?s=XYPHMNMKFEJR7H4P

Please also feel free to send to any one you know who might be interested.

The survey takes approximately ten minutes per child to complete, if you have more than one child aged between 2-12 they can all participate.

This study has received ethics approval from the University of South Australia (#206267). If you have any queries, please contact the lead researcher: Brianna.lebusque@unisa.edu.au

SERIOUS QUESTION: How many palmy men suffer from Erectile dysfunction?

I think this issue is not talked openly because it affects men's personal life despite it being quite serious. I read one study that half of afult men suffer from varying levels of ED. How many of you guys suffer from ED? Have you been referred to treatment. People say it's because of the estrogen in the water supply from the use of birth control pills.
