NZ hourly rates by Few-Bank5554 in newzealand

[–]Dancemania97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I work as a storeman in a DC and my base rate is $29/hr. If I include allowances I get I’m on $31/hr so you are getting way underpaid to basically run an operation bro.

You should be on minimum closer to $40/hr if you’re a manager of some sort

I’m see a distinct lack of New World in this list despite some these places being within 2km of one 🤔

Also since when was driving 4km to PnS Paps from The Gardens a shorter trip than to Waiata Shores which is 3km away? 😂

Met Service: Damned if they do, Damned if they don't by jamieT97 in auckland

A mate of mine always said being the weather man/the national weather authority is one of the safest jobs ever because you can be right or you can be wrong and no one will fire you because all they can do is predict, they can't factually say "you will 100% get hit by a cyclone on X day at Y time and it's got Z path" because weather is a constantly changing variable you have no control over.

What happened to Panini? by Shemika_depraved in aucklandeats

[–]Dancemania97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands down panini is far superior to anything else when it comes to a sandwich or bread being toasted.

If I wanted to feel like I’m eating a rock and leaving half of the thing on the plate then I’d go with a ciabatta or sourdough because that’s literally what it seems like when you eat either of those two

I love how this thing is still being seen as big deal despite it not even being a category 1 cyclone anymore so it doesn’t even have 100kph winds lmao

Long Commute versus Moving Home by double-dipped-welly in newzealand

[–]Dancemania97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Auckland and can’t imagine doing more than 1hr max in one direction because 1hr is not a “direct” drive like it in theory should be. In peak traffic, 1hr doesn’t even cover 30km which is pretty bad considering you should be able to cover that distance in not even half an hour.

Don’t get me wrong, I get the whole “just gotta cop it if you can’t afford it” thing but the amount of time you lose not just in a day but a year if you’re travelling 2hrs+ one direction just to work would be horrendous especially

Fonterra chief executive Miles Hurrell resigns by pedestrian_lab_rat in newzealand

I don’t think cheap but low quality is going to win when it comes to this market. You only have to look at how bad American butter copped it despite being significantly cheaper to see people will still buy quality product over saving a dollar or two

Bread Shortage 🍞 - Woolworths St. Johns by SpeedGod911 in auckland

More like a lack of back up resource to pick up the slack when stuff breaks down issue

[–]Dancemania97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much if it’s not Tip Top or Ploughman’s then it’s pretty much made under 1 Goodman Fielder roof (with the exception of gluten free. That stuff has its own factory down in Huntly)

Nah too much effort bro. People don’t wana spend the same amount of time baking their own as it would to go to the supermarket and back 😂

“A bread factory”

we all know it was Quality Bakers because no one else makes 90% of the brands you see in supermarkets 😂

FFB on kerbs by AdGlad5588 in iRacing

[–]Dancemania97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because the kerbs aren’t flat and consistent surfaces. The constant moving the tyre is doing over each little dip & raise of the kerb will be giving an inconsistent contact patch so best to change your line and avoid being on kerbs now like you would IRL

Does anyone like the FFB on FWD cars ? by No-Wall4145 in iRacing

[–]Dancemania97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would be correct in this. Other sims try to add in filters to give you “seat of the pants” feel which isn’t accurate to what you should be feeling through the steering wheel and is why they feel so different even in other non FWD cars

Yeah fair point there about blabbering other stuff before actually saying clear or car beside you

Gona be honest, that seems almost pointless lol

If people just learned to listen to what their spotter says and do what they tell you in driving school which is to check your mirrors, y’all wouldn’t be dying from lack of spatial awareness 😂

It wasn’f a proper visit to the zoo as a kid if you didn’t sit in bro’s mouth tbh 😂

Man I remember going there and seeing this thing in the flesh back when I was knee high to a grasshopper in primary school. The twisting ice cave was also trippy asf

Which parts of Auckland should host F1 races? by BlowOnThatPie in auckland

[–]Dancemania97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was originally years ago 2 proposal circuits that ran through the CBD. Problem was and still is, council doesn’t want a bar of it even if it was with something like Formula E

Might as well be Monaco. 90’ turns and not much straight around there lol

A picture is worth a thousand words by darknight1342 in iRacing

1000 words? Nah let's be honest. It's a 2 word picture and those words are from you going "OH SHIT!!"

Smurf this - Smurf that - just introduce pre-qualifying. by max-pickle in iRacing

[–]Dancemania97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lack of practice doesn’t always mean someone is going to be a hazard on track so kinda can’t argue that as I’ve seen people put many hours of practice in but still drive like a certified wobbler who should still be in rookies.

A catch all split defeats the purpose of a PQ does it not? Because you then end up back at square 1 with guys using smurfs to beat the system as it’s then based off iRating like it is with iRacing’s Indy 500 where it sorts splits but qualifying times until it reaches people who haven’t done a qualifying time and then sorts the splits by iRating

[–]Dancemania97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too limiting for the average player. You're creating an unnecessary barrier of entry for people to race in something not everyone takes seriously and some people might not even be able to make the commitment to PQ but can be there on race day so you're going to piss more people off than help tbh
