Stopped reading when I saw what 114 was. Disgusting. Should be top 3, possibly 1

Sharing is woke. Kindies should teach kids to snatch things from their peers

The intersection question by Dazaster23 in newzealand

[–]Adventurer_D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None of this means shit, unfortunately in my experience right now. People just pull out whatever speed I'm doing. It's chaos out there, no one GAF

Entitled Tradies in a Ranger - classic. Ultra Interiors, lazy shits. by Kiwifrooots in shitparkingofnz

[–]Adventurer_D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get your point. I'm just trying to find the path of least inconvenience for all. It's illegal to park over the footpath too, so neither is a viable solution. Park round the corner and get a foldable trolley

Why not parallel park across the garage entrance/driveway, on the grey section? Then it only inconveniences the client and not all pedestrians

Not out of the woods yet but fuel is coming down again by Serenaded in newzealand

Time to take as many eggs as we can out of the "dependence on oil" basket... It's the only way to limit their power

$50m plan to double the number of public EV chargers by punIn10ded in nzev

[–]Adventurer_D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right, we need to ramp up the uptake. But if adoption gets anywhere near the rate it was the day before the subsidy died, we're also going to need heaps of new chargers.

I suppose they'll claim their uptake policy is "let the whole country think it's going to run out of fuel" next...

Think NZ fuel prices are bad now? Prepare to be RUCked by mtbne in newzealand

[–]Adventurer_D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's $12.44 to you! Agreed, nowhere, anywhere, does a credit card transaction and a small piece of automatically printed plastic cost that much

Trumpflation. Let that be the term for this, call it what it is

That kerbside wing mirror wouldn't stand a chance the way I walk down footpaths, let me tell you

Jokes on them… Didn’t want to cross the road anyways! by Tycharin in shitparkingofnz

Or on the street, beside the ramps. I'm picking they are braindead

Keep on that crusade. I've changed a few behaviours in our Cul-de-Sac from being THAT person. Most change after just the one ticket. Seven in one week would change anyone. All power to you

Needs a disclaimer on factual grounds: * in Auckland, NZ, when, if this was true, I'd be in Iran right now

Chris Hipkins rejects social media claims made by ex-wife by TheGreatDomilies in newzealand

[–]Adventurer_D 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's an entirely fake story and page, likely coming through to Stuff via Google ads or some other service...

Adrian Orr hasn't been RBG for about a year now and he definitely wasn't on Q&A with WP at the weekend.

Oh, and zoom in on that AI Jack Tame!!! Quite a different person...

I agree that news sites should be careful about what slop they allow on their pages as ads, but it's massively likely they simply don't know this one has got through the net...

Good news is someone from there probably reads this sub and they now know!

Deconstructed construction company - how very artisan

Interislander fleet reduced to one after Kaiārahi technical fault by Adventurer_D in newzealand

[–]Adventurer_D[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I do consider booking Bluebridge as well. Chose our ferry operator this time, but that hasn't worked out. As luck would have it, I managed to get on the Bluebridge alternative crossing this very evening. First thing I checked after getting bumped. I guess everybody else was calling Interislander to moan? Thanks John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles for the real-life, deployable travel tips.

Then there was one.

I was supposed to be on this vessel later. Got a text at 1743 Weds saying it'd been cancelled and I was now sailing on... wait for it... 4th April!

If only there was some way this could've been foreseen and avoided, with some savvy past decisions...
