Brass thefts now from headstones

This stolen from Avonhead cemetery.
From a young girl, Melissa who was tragically hit and killed by a truck in 1994.
If any scrap metal businesses are caught accepting this, I reckon $100,000 fine should be a starting point.

Looking for Tattoo Artist Recommendations! (Specific Style)

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hoping to find an artist in Christchurch, or Canterbury (willing to travel even further for the right person, even to Auckland or Melbourne if need be as I semi-regularly travel to those places).

Looking for an artist who is comfortable with the art style to the image posted. Bonus if they know how to work with stretchy skin as I have a connective tissue disorder that does affect some healing processes as well as how my skin behaves when getting tattooed.

Credits to @riot_paint on instagram for this incredible work! (Not my hand, but I wish it was 😅) Please let me know if you have any recommendations that might fit this! Or any suggestions on where I could post this elsewhere to find someone :)
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'd like to get a physical gift voucher for my partner for father's day — he's into warhammer and is busy painting his army atm. Wanting a physical voucher for a hobby store that sells paints, etc. Rather than one that's just via email! Thanks

What is your experience with Power Edge

1 Upvotes

Hi there

We are comparing power plan with solar buy-back scheme. Came across Power Edge and wonder how your experience with them has been.

They currently have the best rate of buy-back but slightly higher fixed daily cost. But what I like about it is they don’t limit the export.

TIA

Edit: after crunching the numbers sourced from 12 months usage, I am more inclined to choose Octopus Free lunch now.

My daughter's monster drawing came to life (free tool I made, Christchurch mum here)

Post image
0 Upvotes

My daughter drew this little monster with felt tips and I built a small web tool that turns kids' drawings into a short animated clip — you photograph the drawing, pop in an email, and about 30 seconds later it's wiggling around on screen.

Free to try (3 a week), no account or card needed. Made it myself, still very much testing it out, so if your kids try it I'd genuinely love to know what they think.
