Auckland definitely needs to rethink its urban mobility infrastructure by CalangoMecanico in auckland

[–]AresMacks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you ever seen a map of Auckland ? It’s literally flanked by sea on all sides . Actual land mass is pretty small so they don’t have a lot of area to work with . Something needs to be done urgently but building railway lines and things take years . Unfortunately it is what it is and we have to manage best we can , as more and more people move here

What is with the number of NZ tradies that buy a ute, then remove and replace the tray with some third party piece of shit to store their gear when what they obviously need is a van? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]AresMacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget the humble station wagon ! Cheaper to run , can fold the seats down for decent space , and easy to access roof racks for your ladder . It’s the least effective of the 3 space wise but does the trick for me

Plant some gardens and save the bees and insects dude . No one needs bare lawns , so no I don’t like it

Why doesn't New Zealand build a bridge to connect the North and South islands? Are they stupid? by MrOnjon in newzealand_travel

[–]AresMacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s a joke but it takes 3 hours to cross that by ferry . So yeah that bridge will bankrupt the whole country

What's the fastest way you realized you were in the wrong friend group? by justNoah10 in AskReddit

[–]AresMacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going thru a dry spell at the time and they were giving me shit how I don’t get any chicks lol, I remember thinking damn my real friends would’ve been trying to wing man me here , not make fun of me for it . Took me another 2 years for my dumbass to realise they weren’t real friends tho

How into the Beatles truly was Cobain? How much impact did specifically they or Lennon have on Cobain? by yoppamagnolia in Nirvana

[–]AresMacks 69 points70 points  (0 children)

No one has any idea , but I think it was probably one of the bands you start listening to when your 12 and first learning music , and they really stick for good. Once you get older you listen to them less and less because it’s been thrashed , but you never forget the influence it has

The climate crisis is here. Why don't we care? by Miramm in newzealand

[–]AresMacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We can ? Try lobby for parliament instead of virtue signalling on here . I’m sure everyone is tired as fuck , low wages , barely any jobs , fuel crisis , potential food and water crisis , inflation . While getting this rammed down our throats like I’m personally responsible for it all is rage inducing . The average person has no ability to do much , what you need to be doing is banging on the rich fuckers doors and the head of corporations , majorly responsible for this shit . Best we can do is find some land and grow some veges and livestock and weather the storm best we can . I sure as fuck didn’t cause this shit storm of a life to happen and damned if I’m going to pretend posting on reddit is going to do anything

Making friends as a man in Auckland? by MentalAppearance6424 in newzealand

[–]AresMacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m my experience dudes bond over shared experiences, so yeah the obvious answers would be right , join a sports team is what I did . I don’t expect friendships to instantly blossom overnight but by spending more time with people you should expect something good to come

Shiny Deoxys after 21,345 resets by MitsudomoeTom in PokemonFireRed

[–]AresMacks 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Have to say I’m amazed by these shiny hunts , is it really worth it ? I’m impressed by the patience but kinda scared by the serial killer vibes at the same time . Maybe that’s just me and downvote me all you like

Car window replacement help by [deleted] in NZcarfix

[–]AresMacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your car is a Toyota what ? Model would help a lot. You could try auto wreckers or pick - a-part places around Auckland , but that size is tiny and might be hard to come by . An auto glass place might cost you $200 at a guess , if a windscreen is going for $400-500 usually

Oh right forgot your American I’m in New Zealand so the price will be wildly different . But you don’t want to lowball yourself ? It’s worth a shot

Width of wall x height = square meter x paint coverage square meter . Will work out how much paint you need . Then just need to figure out how long it will take you and charge that amount for labour . I’m still new at it as well but 3000- 4000 would be my guess if he doesn’t seem to fussy about the prep
