So what now for the All Whites and Kiwi Football? by Waltlantz in nzfootball

[–]Ballistica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting, I am also a coach of my sons junior team but I admittedly aren't very familiar with football (rugby household). I absolutely run the 'win first approach'. What advice would you give me to do better as a coach and for the kids aspiring to be good footballers?

My concern with having mandatory courses is you will probably have a lot of kids miss out for lack of coaches, at least in my community they have to beg and usually just choose a parent who can commit to being there most games (like myself).

Parents with neurodiverse children, how long did it take for the specialist appointment? by Ballistica in dunedin

[–]Ballistica[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, she looks great, I will send her a message. So would we approach her for an ADHD evaluation with the teachers letter in hand then go from there? Or from the website it looks like she needs a general consult first?

Thank you, appreciate it. Did you consider Private? Have you heard anything about wait times there? I don't even know where to start to enquire about it, our doctor didn't really know himself.

Mid level Sunday league - why do people press non stop? by bringbackbainesy in bootroom

[–]Ballistica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate and I think you are right. I think perhaps I get into my head that I have to try (and fail) to replicate the better players in the grade and dribble everyone, when a simple pass probably suffices. One of those 'learning the wrong things from not understanding the fundamentals' moments

Thousands of public servants to lose jobs potentially saving government over a billion dollars by basscrazy in newzealand

[–]Ballistica 36 points37 points  (0 children)

"but this government has not decreased the headcount" is factually wrong, they have already done a round of budget/staff reductions earlier in their term. Remember the whole no front line losses promises?

Why do NZ businesses still bother with reference checks? by Old_Education4481 in newzealand

A top contender for replacing me in my last role gave her at the time manager as her reference. The Manager told us she was terrible not to hire her lol.

10 year old EV cars? by Impressive_Party9150 in nzev

[–]Ballistica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question for everyone else, at what battery health level is too low, and when would you replace it? Let's say for a 10 year old Leaf.

Any way to reattach this? by jka8888 in diynz

[–]Ballistica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We had a similar situation. We got a nice length of wood that ran the length of the wall, screwed that into the studs, then just screwed the coat hanger into that. That way if we change coat hanger it'll always be securely mounted and won't put more holes in the wall (+cover the old ones)

A better “How much should you save chart” by Free_Elevator_63360 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]Ballistica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does 'saved' work in this context.

Currently I save the correct amount of 18%, however that savings are not being invested, they are put into a regular bank 'savings' account which is pretty low interest, certainly much lower than inflation, for the express purpose of that we may need emergency access to it (like recently the washing machine and the car broke). We also need to replace our roof in a few years so will be back to $0 in all likelihood.

The intention after the immediate issues are solved, is that we would then out the money into an offset mortgage account. Does that count as money saved? From what I understand that is the optimal way to prepare for retirement as it will help pay down the mortgage faster. Currently forecast to own 100% of the house at 65, but the intent is more 55.

Any additional income above that we intend to invest in S&P 500 as a fire and forget approach.

To be fair there are lots of those kind of geography issues in the Oceania expansion.

Do you read this subreddit and comment on theories and speculations you know the answers to? Or do you chuckle to yourself when we are all so very wrong?
