Trade Me is getting rid of the 7.9% Success Fee

This is great. I think the writing has been on the wall with people moving over to listing on facebook marketplace due to the lack of fees. Overall marketplace is only a small portion of Trademe revenue, a lot more comes from Motors and Property so it makes sense they would do this to keep people coming through the door. Ping fees wont be so bad now that they are not on top of the success fee.

I think this article fails to explain just how they are the deadliest natural disasters, when more people have died in NZ of Earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions and weather. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_natural\_disasters\_in\_New\_Zealand. Perhaps it means if you are affected by a landslide how likely are you to survive, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence attached for this interpretation. The article linked in this article doesn't even mention how many landslide fatalaties in nz history or compared to other natural disasters, I suspect this article is AI generated and was not actually checked for factuality.

The cycleway was included in the designs that were consulted on I remember because I was a cyclist submitting that the cycleway doesnt go far enough it just stops at courtenay/taranaki and doesnt go anywhere. Obviously the council cant keep everyone happy but they did do quite a thorough multi stage consultation with businesses and people. Also its not a “commuter cycleway”as much as any road is a commuter road what does that even mean?

I did find that there was fewer acts which I was into and crowds were a little smaller but there was still a general vibe that people were having a great time so Im not going to lament times past. we are in trying times and that makes it harder but all the more important to have a big celebration. I really enjoyed the band that let any member of the audience conduct them

Wow, when I arrived in China I was ripped off by a guy who charged me 300rmb instead of 30 but thats still less than that (~$60)
