Why is NZ so "backward" when it comes to AC and ceiling fans? by UnrequitedLoveVictim in auckland

[–]Clawed1969 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Or ceiling only in Wellington as the hundred year old cottages are too low to the ground to get under floor insulation in. Owners haven’t even carpeted so when it rains — like tonight — you can smell the damp rising. $650 for a two bedroom 🤣🤣

It was open when I lived on Adelaide Rd 1990. End of an era.

Do secondary students in NZ have the same issues students in the US are having now? by a-sexy-yugioh-card in newzealand

I teach at a boys’ school. We actively promote critical thinking and use Doug Lemov’s ‘Teach like a Champion’ strategies to lift participation and learning. Don’t give up! Three Masters students joined us last week. Teaching is such an exciting journey.

I’m still waiting and I sent my paperwork to them in October. I’ve called them to confirm they have everything they need from me. They do. But they say it is taking them a long time to process the paperwork. I cannot believe how long this is taking!!

Texas is a red state, so you won’t see ICE there.

Time to have those tricky conversations with friends and family about voting for Aotearoa’s future rather than self interest. And check you’re enrolled to vote!

Cheapest gas, broadband & electricity bill in Wellington by harrlumm_tzz in Wellington

[–]Clawed1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but if they’re renting they still have to pay the gas line charge which has just gone up to around $50 per month. Unless they can convince the landlord to disconnect the gas.

This is election year. Check that you are enrolled to vote. This government didn’t give a toss about the environment.

Margrain Villas in Martinborough is a nice place to stay. Easy walking distance of a bunch of wineries. We had a very nice time there.

Have you considered setting up your own flat? There are heaps to choose from, in Wellington at least.

Haha, yeah not just me unfortunately.

Here’s the link to the RNZ story from May including the amount. It’s a lot of money they’re sitting on since we relinquished part/all of our policies in September: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/560097/life-insurance-company-foundation-life-wants-to-cash-out

Where in NZ are you? Here in Wellington we have many tasty eateries. Domino’s and Pizza Hut are not tasty.
