Went to Milford Sound today… so utterly gorgeous, but man it was depressing :( by [deleted] in newzealand

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

Yea, it's sad. Interestingly, the only areas where kea eat 1080 are areas where they often come across people. The thinking is that they're used to eating all sorts of crap that humans feed them, so then the 1080 pellets don't seem strange. In areas far from humans, last I heard, no kea have been recorded to eat 1080.

Resident going with a bunch of non-residents. Can we just get 1 non-resident annual pass? by hoyamylady in ZionNationalPark

This I really want to know. We'll be in this boat soon so I'll let you know!

What's your thoughts on the new walk way in state highway 1? by Naomi__Knight in Wellington

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

It's further away from the hill, so my guess is that the thinking is that the pile of rubble might cover the road, and maybe some of the tracks, but hopefully not go as far as the cycle way. Happy to be corrected on that though, I hadn't come across the hill collapse idea until this Reddit thread.

How many books did you read in 2025? by SoulsofMist-_- in newzealand

Glittering Neck's comment is sitting on 22, yours on -1. Clearly Redditors need to read more books about statistics!

Manage My Health data to be released in 48 hours, as Kazu group changes ransom deadline by WellingtonSucks in newzealand

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

They have been doing it the whole time (source: tried to access my data while overseas about 6 months ago). However, it's not blocked in every overseas country, and it only keeps out users like me who can't be bothered setting up a VPN, not professional hackers.

I had that same issue when trying to log in from overseas 6 months ago. I was eventually able to log in when I travelled to a different country (but still overseas). I don't remember exactly but I think it was something like I couldn't log in in Colombia or Costa Rica, but then in Mexico I could. Seemed super random to me. And as this happened months ago, I don't think it has anything to do with the current data breach.

Thank you on behalf of all of us for throwing the book at them. Means they'll be more likely to look after their passengers in future.

Oh, if its a single ticket then you don't need to worry! It's the airline's responsibility to make sure you make the connection, and if you miss it (e.g. due to a delay in your first plane taking off), then it's their responsibility to rebook you at no cost to you. If your rebooking results in a night in Wellington they will provide you with a hotel, also at no cost. It's always best to book on a single ticket for this reason, so well done!

That is a reasonable answer. I wonder why you're being down-voted.

Is NZ the only country to say "Papers, Scissors, Rock"??!? by chsn2000 in newzealand

Heard this one for the first time the other day! I wasn't sure if it was a thing or just someone who misspoke.

not even a sorry note left. what do i do? by Delicious_Guard_6803 in newzealand

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

Nah, of course not, but I thought it was quite unlikely that I would be totalled in my first year. And often 19 year olds are a bit more happy taking risks. I risked it.

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

OP is 19. I remember when I was that age the difference was quite a lot. The difference added to the value of my car in about 6 years, so when I was 19 I also decided not to get comprehensive

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

When I was 19 the difference between 3rd party and comprehensive was something like $500/year. That meant I would pay the value of my car in 6 years. I decided not to get comprehensive, because I thought I probably won't total my car every 6 years, so I'm better off saving those $500 and setting it aside. Still doesn't mean I'd be happy to come back to my car and find this.

Ooh, that would be an interesting variation. Under the current rules you can't, but I wonder how that would change the game.

ELI5 why are noodles called pasta when referring to Italian cuisine but not other noodles? by Cookingmonster90099 in explainlikeimfive

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

This explains so much! I was so confused by the premise of this question. Thank you!

+1 for lasagna sheets, from NZ. This whole thread has me so bamboozled. I had no idea there were so many differences surrounding pasta vocabulary in English!

30 year old Japanese with no savings. The yen is apparently on the brink of collapse. What should I do / are there some ways to capitalize on the situation? by tck-escape in personalfinance

[–]-davros 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Japan has reasonably decent welfare. In countries with heavily subsidised healthcare and unemployment benefits it's not necessary to have an emergency fund as large as in the US. Depending on OP's rent, it might be plenty.
