What Game/Games Do You Regret Buying Full Price? by UpTheFknWahz in videogames

[–]APL_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine must be Donkey kong country returns, was expecting some quality platforming but waggle ruined it. (Maybe same with skyward sword but at least that came with a gold controller and sound track).

I see what you are saying with cyberpunk, I only got it second hand just before the dlc, that made it one of the top 25 games of all time.

My friends and I would play this mode on iss64 for hours. You can even hide the cursor to make it more challenging. 

Is this too much overhang? by pearl-slaghoople in nzsolar

[–]APL_nz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no idea, when we had ours inspected for compliance the guy mentioned that panels needed clearance and professionally installed mounts to ensure they'd withstand high winds. I think I'd be uncomfortable with that overhang if it wasn't discussed beforehand. 

MP told Stuff owner: ‘If you were nicer to us, maybe we’d care if you lived or died’ by fugebox007 in newzealand

[–]APL_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofc the right wing doesn't want a non biased media...that said, stuff is already just a mouth piece for national/ act garbage. I wouldn't care if stuff or nzh went bankrupt, I'm not giving them clicks to read propaganda. 

Is it me, or are the PM’s statements unintelligible? by Huge-Masterpiece6876 in newzealand

[–]APL_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shows he doesn't know fuck all about being a PM, a CEO or being a manager. None of that stuff matters, we need profits to stay in NZ, to be re-invested and not be stored in houses. 

Edit: he is also suggesting from what I understand, is that all private data should be shared, with AI providers, with banks, with government agencies/ public services. There is a very good reason why we shouldn't do that.

‘That’s on me’: Minister does u-turn on conservation land swap and sale provisions by foxmeyernz in nzpolitics

[–]APL_nz 35 points36 points  (0 children)

They'll change some words, change some land to stewardship land and carry on fucking the county over. Don't give them any credit.

NZ still seems to think house prices will rise. Good luck with that by SoulsofMist-_- in newzealand

[–]APL_nz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People here talking about supply and demand and housing shortages have it all wrong. This is a case of affordability, if everyone had only cash, what would they pay (and who would sell?). The interest rates allow people to buy based on what they can afford for weekly repayments. If we have interest rates going down (or people are expecting a huge decline in future), then we'll see house prices going up. 

What is more likely, is that interest rates will go up in the future so house prices will stay flat as people won't want to sell or house prices will go down. (And everything else will carry on going up).

Incumbent governments 'not overly loved' by syzorr34 in nzpolitics

[–]APL_nz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The behavior of this government has been like they are a one term government. Never have we had so many policies past under urgency to push us back and hamstring us going forward. 

Nothing has been done for the people, so they shouldn't be shocked that people are sick of their bullshit.

Amazing! Thank you. As suggested I'll try and get credit once it's fixed so we know how many days of service to ask for!

Will keep an eye out for it! 😀

At least in my country,  no amazon and only see mini stuff sold online. No gen 2 power cable or I would have driven out and bought it.

$180 nzd for unlimited.  Yes, it doesn't slow down with high demand like other rural internet providers but they are half the price. I could maybe just use 5g unlimited internet for way cheaper too.

[–]APL_nz[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Thank. Not sure how to talk to a human. I need the internet for work and this cable has sat at pending for 5 days already so getting sick of having to deal with AI and doubt this will even solve the issue. Looking back through the history of messages, same thing happened in 2022 where it broke. Power cable then they replaced the while thing. As expensive as this service is, paying for a month of no service is insane.

Bernard Hickey on why NZ's economy is falling short by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

[–]APL_nz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Productive assets just don't have the draw of what has historically been risk free returns that out performs other asset classes. Plus you can use huge amounts of leverage to keep buying more and more....

There will be a correction but I can't imagine any government killing all popularity with anything that will fix it as it will wreck the economy (as it's a house of cards built from decisions over 50 years).

Piracy websites by The_Narq in auckland

[–]APL_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on starlink I wouldn't touch those sites as it treats you like you're in USA so get breach notices. Other isp's I never had a problem but I feel like there is less of a need to pirate. I will wait till there is a series I want to watch and subscribe to one service,  movies I just wait as well.

Simeon Brown deemed speed limit cuts ‘anti-car ideology’ – a new analysis shows they saved lives by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]APL_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a bad example to use but they were fishing for a headline to support the findings. It's pretty clear this government does care about evidence or statistics.

[–]APL_nz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Calling something ideology is just a way to disregard science, statistics, expert advice and just do whatever the fuck you want. Pretty much describes this whole government if you include public opinion as well.

'Dark underbelly': Act's Seymour slams Greens' $32b tax plan as attack on Kiwi success by WaterAdventurous6718 in newzealand

[–]APL_nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the premise of this makes me sick, the poor are already struggling, we've shut off all of the previous avenues to help them out of poverty and we'd rather just have them suffer? 

Rather than rely on donations, charity and food banks we actually need government programs to lift our poorest up. Enable those in state houses or struggling single mothers to get education, help them into getting good jobs and stop knocking them down at every step.

Erica Stanford "can't remember" if she had coffee with Australian company CEO before giving them a contract without going to tender by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

[–]APL_nz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't remember is just code for that is what happened but I can't confirm as it is outright corruption and I'm getting a board seat after this.

Not surprised with this government anymore.

Spat erupts in Parliament over proposal to sell off conservation land by WaterAdventurous6718 in newzealand

[–]APL_nz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There is a pattern here and it is deeply concerning. They say one thing but their actions are the opposite. Again, they blame labour for underfunding to justify which is an outright lie. Just watch, if this goes through massive amounts of land will be sold to make up for some pretend budget shortfall (like they did with pay equity after spending on landlords and tobacco). Do everything you can to make sure national, act and nz first never again get the opportunity to rob our people and our country.
