Really reminiscent of the canyoning disaster back in 2008 where like 8 kids died after the Outdoor Pursuits Center ignored a weather warning. I remember that one really well because I'd done the same activity just a week before.

Problem: takes too long to drive to work. Solution: one-child policy.

I never go to dairies either. Possibly influenced by my closest supermarket being directly across the road from my closest dairy though. Bakeries on the other hand...

Who's paying for feijoas? They turn up en masse in the work break room and you just help yourself?

My Mum is making an effort this year to be an informed voter (possibly the first time ever). Are any of those websites still around that can help you compare party policies, or do a quiz and see how your own value line up? I had a quick look but the ones I saw on Google appear to be overseas based. Are the local ones not spun up yet?

I find it kind of funny how both very right wing and very left wing people are convinced the other side owns the media.

Slavvy posted:Imo a toll style system would be better, as in you pay depending on the roads you use not necessarily the mileage you cover They technically should be able to incorporate road tolling into the same system as they could geo-fence certain areas for extra tolling. Although there'll no doubt be workarounds for it in similar ways to how people disconnect their odometers to dodge paying RUCs now.

Slavvy posted:It's pretty much impossible to do this anymore unless you have a really old car, the odo/speed comes from an aggregate of the ABS wheel speed sensors nowadays, you'd have to disconnect your entire instrument cluster and that would cause a host of other issues Oh yeah you're probably right. I just remember working with guys who did this back in the day. One of them had a toggle switch he could flick on and off because disconnecting the odo also stopped his speedo working. The other installed a HUD speedo in parallel so it didn't matter that his original one didn't work anymore.

The RBNZ has always had the mandate to keep inflation low and stable (between 1 and 3%, it's currently 5.6%). Since 2018 they have also had a mandate to support 'maximum sustainable employment'. National say the employment mandate distracted the bank from managing inflation. The bank say it didn't make a difference.

Simeon Brown posted:"After six years and over $228 million spent on the project, not a single metre of track has been delivered and congestion has only worsened in the city." I can't believe how much these projects cost either, but I can't help but think actually completing them might be key to reducing congestion?? (Auckland Light Rail officially canned)

Trompe le Monde posted:The tunneled light rail option that Labour was pushing was so poorly suited that I cannot help but think it was done to sink light rail completely and on purpose. If they'd just gone with what every other city (including auckland in the early 20th century) had we'd probably have enough light rail by now that national would have no chance of canning it. loving wasted money and now no chance of anything this decade. You're totally right, I think I remember some article on Greater Auckland about how/why they ended up with the absolute most expensive option. Ffs just put a tramline down Dominion Rd and along the motorway, how hard can it be? Absolutely no forward thinking in this country.

People with non plug-in petrol/electric hybrids will be feeling very smug. Best of both worlds! Minimal petrol taxes and zero RUCs.
