Hey all,
After any tips about school holiday activities, deals. I feel like it is always kind of through the grapevine and randomly stumbling on facebook pages for things that are on.
Is there a central spot to see what is on for kids across Dunedin during school holidays?
Hi all,
I've really been enjoying getting back into Sim City 4 after quite a while. I've got the NAM lite mod installed, and my city is hovering around 55-60k population quite steadily.
I'm at the stage where the entire city is zoned up and mainly high density across residential, commercial, and industrial. Demand is mainly residential low and mid-income, with commercial fluctuating between some demand and low demand, and high tech dipping in and out.
I'm trying to stay disciplined to keep the budget balanced (around $500,000k cash atm and bringing in around 26k in revenue each month) and avoid building things like monorails just because they look cool, I know that'd be a financial sinkhole.
Wondering what people typically focus on at this stage to keep a city like this growing, and where the micromanagement is typically targeted to keep things moving? I've just been sort of sitting on 3 speed and letting cash build up and then occasionally dipping in and out of shifting the knobs for schools and hospital capacity to manage $.
I do get intermittent unemployment (you can see in screenshot below) that will come and go, is that normal?
Hi all,
We're in the market for a new modular sofa.
We're based down in South New Zealand, and so it feels like the options that are most readily available are limited to Nood and other sort of mass furniture makers (Early Settler etc.) and then Nick Scali, or ecosa.
Just wondering if anyone has any alternative suggestions?
We're keen to support smaller and more local businesses, but price is a bit of a factor.
I've read bad things about Nick Scali quality-wise, but I'm happy to be proven wrong about it too if people have been happy with the quality.
Thanks.
Hey all,
I just bought Sim City 4 on a whim and have read a lot of place people recommending the NAM mod. I'd love to understand what it does in simple terms, given I don't really know the mechanics of the game's traffic system it addresses?
Why is it so critical? Anything I should know about it as a new player? Is it supported on Macbook?
Cheers!
I am trying to replicate squishy hamburger buns that I remember getting at Shake Shack many years ago. I don't live in the USA so can't get Martin's Potato Rolls here - also it is more fun to do it yourself!
I am trying to make mine with Tangzhong which sounds like a good way to impart a nice softness to the buns.
Except, I am constantly tripped up by the buns turning out pretty dense and chewy, with the crumb looking really tight. I knead until the dough passes the window pane test and prove for quite a while, but I do find that my dough really doesn't seem to grow much on the first prove.
I live in an colder part of the world so have been trying to prove in oven with light on and a dish of boiled water today I proved for around 2.5 hours first prove and 2 for second prove.
See pictures (sorry for sideways) - I'd love to know what I could adjust to make these turn out better. I feel like I am close.
