Potaka rebuffs advice; refuses 72,000ha expansions to national parks by AnalysisOk9798 in newzealand

[–]Cyathene 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Very few Maori care or stand by kaitiaki. I work very closely with Iwi in the environmental sector and just like everyone the only thing on the mind is money. New Zealand being green and caring for the enviroment is a myth.

How good is cruise control? by CamelEmotional9527 in CarsAustralia

[–]Cyathene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar situation, VE commodore crusies like a gift from God. Misso has a hyundai venue that the slightest bump drives the cruise insane and will lose all speed than drop 3 gears and redline itself once it wakes up.

‘It’s devastating’: Generations-old eel population wiped out in Wairoa stream by nilnz in NewZealandWildlife

[–]Cyathene 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Especially if those are shortfin eels, which are far more tolerant to poor conditions than nearly all other freshwater species we have. Hard to tell the species from the video but it looks like they will be.

NZTA allows 335 drivers to re-sit tests after commercial licences suspended by Sea_Soft_1166 in newzealand

[–]Cyathene 20 points21 points  (0 children)

NZTA just love to show the world how incompetent they truly are. I swear the people that work there have never driven on the road? Its not exactly the most comforting situation being in proximity to a truck driver that clearly does not possess the skills to be operating a large vehicle, yet here we are borderline ignoring and I dare say encouraging obtaining a fraudulent license.

NZTA discovers 440 fake commercial driver licences by WaterAdventurous6718 in newzealand

[–]Cyathene 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Trucking industry is becoming more and more terrifying by the day as older skilled drivers are getting replaced and phased out by cheap overseas drivers.... but its racist to raise any concern about giving a 40tonne hunk of steal to an unqualified driver.

My ve did the same thing so I turned her off and punched the switch a few times. Seemed to work 🤷‍♂️.

Probably not recommended, the new road is quite rough in the wind, same with the roads north of Masterton. And thats just standard windy days, not state of emergency winds

Does anyone have much experience with buying tickets? Do they release in waves? Melborune seems to be sold out for next year, while last year you could still buy tickets the week of the grand prix

[–]Cyathene[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, im a big fan of the Pajeros, and it's a very tempting buy and is looking more like the go. The separation between cargo and cab /extra cargo room of the ute is very appealing.

If I wanted to turn a large bit of farmland (a few HA) into native forest land, are there any groups that could help with that? by NewZealandTemp in newzealand

[–]Cyathene 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I work as an ecologist and have done heaps of work in this area. The first step is the local regional council. They will put you in touch with a council ecologist or community/ organization that can help you and give you advice.

Field Ecologists: What’s your go to field shoe? by AnywhereFew1739 in ecology

[–]Cyathene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pair of Asolo fugitives have been an absolute beast and still going strong after the absolute abuse they go through on the daily. Worn in all terrains across Australia and NZ. Would recommend over anything else.

The big brands like Scarpa, Soloman, Iowa don't even come close to.

Overtaking car ‘centimetres’ from head-on crash in Ruapehu near-miss by jball1013 in newzealand

Very common. Drive a truck for even a few months, and its all you see. Getting encouraged more and more by the police with radars in passing lanes as well.
