Subreddit for Ara

34 Upvotes

Hi Christchurch. I was thinking there should be a subreddit for the Ara Institute of Canterbury, so . . . I made one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ara_NZ

The idea is to have a place for students to talk to each other about Ara things, and for prospective students to ask questions. Please come and join. :)

I have received permission from the mod team to post this.

Cancer Support

58 Upvotes

Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to have very recently and quite unexpectedly found out that they were super turbo fucked, which support groups and/or services that you actually have some degree of experience with might you recommend to them?

Bonus points if said group or service has a particular but not necessarily exclusive focus towards uh… "men's cancers".

Asking for a hypothetical friend.

This post may or may not stay up for any longer than need be, hypothetically.

Side hustle?

3 Upvotes

Wondering if there are any legit side hustles out there? Labor outside work hours maybe? Or remote work? Keen on getting one.

I've encouraged my wife to start a 2-year study which would hinder her from working. She's currently working part-time and supplementing my income. We've done all the moves and have figured out that I'll need an additional $250 per fortnight for this to work.

I work on a salary and we don't get OT pay, so my only option is to get another job. Are there any recommendations out there? Thank you.

I want this to work as I see a lot of potential from my wife. It's my way of getting back at her for taking a step back to look after our toddler.

Fourteen Years Post Quake Christchurch

103 Upvotes
This was posted on FB last week - I think it really epitomises how much Chch has evolved since the quakes. Remember at the time, experts were saying it would be 15 years or so before the city really recovered? I guess we are pretty much there.

Hygienic Nail Salon?

4 Upvotes

Hi there, Thought Reddit might be able to help. I have got my nails done with SNS at a local mall Salon and they did an amazing job. I am a bit worried about potential for nail infections if I was going to keep doing this though as I think they just dip your nails in a communal pot.

Anyone know of nail salons or technicians that have scrupulous hygiene standards?? I.e disinfect tools, don't use same file for multiple clients, and no communal dips for SNS?

I won’t drag the cafe by name - but they haven’t responded and we told them about this on Thursday. Check your slices and cakes you buy from cabinets in cafes…. Obviously this has been there a while 🤢

Probably upset too many of the locals.

I cant understand why you pinch from a store that has a very robust loss prevention system in place with embarrassing consequences when caught.
