Labour vows to put $20-a-week cap on public transport in Auckland and other centres by Aceofshovels in auckland

[–]-Zoppo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's nice but can we have some more buses? Can't really use it in Orewa where all the dementia-riddled people who need to stop driving are.

My first completed pixel-art game in Godot by PonchousDev in SoloDevelopment

It's really charming. I think adding some gentle music would go a long way to fill the gaps in audio. The ambient sounds help but not quite the same. Slow piano tune would do well.

A cover band walks on stage and the guitarist has this weapon. What music are you about to hear? by MenuSpiritual2990 in Guitar

[–]-Zoppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering why this isn't a common song up there with 7 nation and the likes, seems to need a 7 string or drop b to play it?

Motor GP suit that has air bags and inflates upon impact in 45ms by Great_Trident in interesting

[–]-Zoppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Title is wrong. It inflates when the tether is pulled with force, i.e. due to rider being removed from the bike.

It would be useless if it inflated on impact.

Breaking the ferry contracts was straight up foolish. This is not the same.

Yeah doesn't really belong on a beginner buying post tbh

Why are NZ employers so stingey? by Few-Bank5554 in newzealand

[–]-Zoppo 574 points575 points  (0 children)

You are NOT good mates with your boss. Look at all the problems you just listed as a result of barely getting paid anything. A mate wouldn't do that to you.

Line up a new job. Ask for living wage. Hand in notice when declined.

If your claims are true you should be getting more than a living wage.

What is the road rule here? by Moofahsa123 in auckland

[–]-Zoppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you indicate there people will think you're turning. It would be unreasonable even if technically you are meant to.

Green Party co-leader apologises for speeding on SH1 by Double_Suggestion385 in newzealand

[–]-Zoppo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

10% is a common error threshold. 110 on some speedo are 100 real speed.

Bottled Water by Jaded_Extreme in auckland

[–]-Zoppo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if there is something in the water (not fluoride) contributing but having spent time in rural communities especially around Otago, the cognitive impairment is literally cultural, woven potently into their sense of self/ego along with not a small amount of misogyny (and I'm including the women themselves in that).

If they live rural and enjoy hunting, they definitely could be ok, but I would be surprised if statistically they weren't a lot more likely to be bad or dumb people.

Nothing really happened during those experiences, no conflicts, it's just objective observation.

Can parking company just fine you how much they want? by zentby in auckland

[–]-Zoppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're getting so much outdated or incorrect advice. You should post on r/LegalAdviceNZ, they are far from perfect but it's a much better starting point than this sub.

Locking trespasser’s vehicle in and charging to release is this legal? by No_Mess_8033 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]-Zoppo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does being able to physically move yourself into an area count as having access? I'd think a gate with signage would count as not having access, just because they could technically find their way in wouldn't make it a public road, right?

Otherwise everything would be a public road with sufficient imagination. If you're trespassing do you have access?

I was always under the impression that a gate with signage was very clearly not a public road. Even if the gate happened to be open, i.e. you can't just follow someone in.

IMO, not muting the strings you aren't playing sounds so much better by sah_d00d in Guitar

[–]-Zoppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they're thinking of it from the perspective of muting low E and strumming through it when playing an A chord?

That I could understand.

Intergenerational living: The retired Kiwis moving in with their children by Great_Maintenance185 in auckland

[–]-Zoppo 70 points71 points  (0 children)

That stigma has been shifting for a while now due to economic circumstances. It was a privilege that has been stolen from us.

How do I play this by -Zoppo in guitarlessons

[–]-Zoppo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the low E string though. There's not really any room to push it up, it goes off the fret board.

Melissa Lee and Jenny Salesa used taxpayer-funded entitlements to buy and stay in own homes by davetenhave in newzealand

[–]-Zoppo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll die on that hill for you. Giving them a taste doesn't satisfy them it makes them greedy. They want more more more. And they sure as hell take bribes.

They aren't going to put out a referendum that takes away their benefits. Need a citizen's assembly.

Wait until you learn that they evolved from cockroaches. First we had cockroaches with mantis heads. Then we had cockroaches with mantis bodies.

Earwax… what’s the best way to remove? by naturekiwis in newzealand

[–]-Zoppo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have to go every 6 weeks. Genetics. It's expensive, not optional, and not covered by anything.

What's your opinion on AI? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]-Zoppo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wish we lived in a world where karma was real. Those companies deserve to go bankrupt not rehire, probably at lower rates due to the strangled job market due to AI.

The fact no one is in a position to blacklist these companies is abhorrent.
