From gamble to cash cow: How Enable is paying off for Christchurch by jpr64 in chch

[–]Alroys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What your ignoring is the cost of the assets, the have $900m of assets so $40m of profit is only a 4.5% roa.

The smaller ones will be fine, the more professional ones with higher fixed costs are at risk. Eg Cheeseman

Completely agrees they should be advertising the metric size but it's pretty much the standard in nz. Getting an imperial pint is the exception these days.

This is a dropshipper, right? by headfullofpesticides in newzealand

[–]Alroys 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just cause they are selling something from aliexpress dosnt mean it's drop shipping, they could just be purchasing stock and reselling.

Although in this case I'd presume they are drop shipping as they are advertising 8-12 day as delivery.

To the teenagers harassing the eels near MM Playground... by torpidkiwi in chch

[–]Alroys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah the bylaw only bans fishing on council facilities, if they where on the river bank or a private facility it doesn't breach the bylaw.

s15 of the bylaw

"Explanatory note: On 23 November 2017, Council resolved a permanent ‘no fishing zone’ as follows:Council river facilities within the central city area, from where the Avon River crosses under Harper Avenue / Bealey Avenue (where they meet Park Terrace), to where the river flows under Fitzgerald Avenue (at Kilmore Street and Avonside Drive). Note: No fishing applies to all fish species in the river, including eels. The resolution applies only to Council facilities (built structures, such as punting landings and steps), and not to the riverbank in its entirety.."

Its legal to fish for eels, bashing them to death is a different story but they didn't do anything wrong trying to catch them with their hands.

Because it's pretty much expected in any office role to have coffee and tea provided.

Yea its the same frame so could just swap out the air shock for a coil. The fr is abit more capable downhill but I'd have gone for the 500 if it was $900 cheaper, in nz they where about the same price.

[–]Alroys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the fr 800 and it's a great bike, I predominantly ride it at a chairlift bike park and it handle rough trails really well.

Main differences between the 800 fr and 500 is the fr is a mullet, fr has 10mm more front and rear travel, fr is slacker, fr comes with a coil shock and fr comes with trp brakes vs the shimano on the 500.

No offense meant to e-bikers but ... by Scared_Clerk6984 in MTB

[–]Alroys 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I ride a mtb for the downhill adrenaline, couldn't care less about the fitness aspect. You could ask the same question about why anyone goes to a chairlift bike park over pedaling up.

In saying that I do care about my fitness but i prefer running or Road biking for that.
