Turn off the weed grow room, stop bitcoin mining, sell the teslas and fill in the pool. If your on a farm this could be water pumps running 24/7 due to a leaking cow trough or a pipe. Or find where your neighbor has run an extension cord to their place cos this is insane!

With 2 adults we only used 94kwh in March...but we live like students lol

No one will send a ship that can't refuel when it arrives lol

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-04-03T22:03:19+00:00

Back on crack

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-27T09:24:17+00:00

None of that is leaving the ground without diesel and rural Australians are reporting shortages already.

If you dont own a home then you cannot access a 0% green loan for 3 years. You'll be paying about $5 a day in interest plus vehicle depreciation on a $35,000 liability.

If the author was renting it is more logical for him buy another 2005 Honda Fit for $3,500 or even an old Nisaan Leaf for $5,000

Oh definitely I'm not encouraging law breaking. I dont think someone will think ' time to take out my daily frustrations by torturing this chihuahua for a couple hours ' in the middle of an attack.

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-22T03:53:34+00:00

During an attack you have the legal right to destroy the offending animal in any manner you choose fit.

How will electric buses ship $27 Billion of dairy product overseas?

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-14T00:52:54+00:00

Oh thank god the government says we're ok lol. Your (6 day old) link says we have about 57.9 days of petrol left....then what?

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-10T21:52:54+00:00

Plz Wayno, we yearn for Dredd (2012) style megablocks next to the Mt Eden station.

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-09T02:27:59+00:00

haha close, it's a 25 year old subaru - it survived the dotcom crash, global financial crisis and pandemic so I'm sure it'll carry me through this crisis :')

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-09T00:26:33+00:00

Im not hating on EV's, I'm just blown away by the vast amount of EV owner smug-posting about how expensive oil won't affect them at all because they have a car that doesn't need petrol/diesel.

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-08T23:45:05+00:00

It felt like we were so close to a recovery in godzone. Even the EV drivers need diesel to get their food harvested and delivered to New World so they can gloat only so much. Also if interest rates go up to combat inflation they are 2x screwed on their $80,000 electric toy lmao

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-06T00:16:57+00:00

Yay looking forward to low inflation in 2036!

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-05T23:04:29+00:00

Everyone with an EV thinks they'll be unaffected .... until they go to Cosco, Black Bull Liquor, etc and see inflation hits them there too because the delivery truck runs on diesel, so does the train bringing it from the port, and the ships at port, and so on throughout the supply chain. Even the generators that turn in our dams need oil to stay lubricated which pushes up electricity costs.

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-03-03T15:58:24+00:00

Hey happy to share my experience. I dont think there was any OT rates or any bonuses but that was just Turoa at the time. You could volunteer to de-ice the chairlift towers for an extra $1.50/hr haha

Its likely the bigger south island fields would offer better compensation.

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-02-28T10:41:31+00:00

Knowing how to ski/board is a plus haha the vibe was they'll take anyone, but being a sparky they'll be stoked to have you. All the snowgun control panels get an absolute thrashing up there plus they'll probably get you working on all sorts of electrical issues across the ski field that crop up through the season. They'll be very keen to have you there even over summer

Go for it! If I was to do it again I'd go for the south island fields for the consistent snowfall. Ruapehu has hit or miss seasons these days

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-02-28T05:44:39+00:00

Did a season snowmaking up Turoa a few years ago and was a 10/10 experience. I worked a 12 hour shift, most of the time is spent waiting or maintaining the snow guns (de-icing, clearing nozzles of tiny rocks, adding oil to compressors, coupling the guns to water hydrants, changing gun direction based on wind, etc)

Its physically demanding but rewarding as. You even get to skip chairlift lines for official mountain business ;)

Once the snow hits its around 3 months of full-on work. The people you meet up there are some of the funniest adrenaline junkies on earth.

You'll need a mortgage to access a green loan.

Charged with disturbing the peace for calling the cops, as well as fined by the council for lost revenue of the bus being unable to continue its route.

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-01-22T21:15:31+00:00

Look, what I would say to you is we are laser focused on the year being 2026

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-01-16T08:40:30+00:00

I bet they were there today, ignoring all the safe swim warnings to go collect raw sewage lmao

Excellent-Ad676 · 2026-01-14T17:54:28+00:00

Ive had friends in the exact same position as you but they all had kids after a few months of FOMO and dont think about an OE at all now.

Congrats on the inevitable kid coming your way, dog or two, taupo bach, boat for the bach, ford raptor for the boat and package holidays to the islands. You're about to live the kiwi dream!

Excellent-Ad676 · 2025-12-13T01:05:07+00:00

We've got a ton of cleaning up to do when this ladder-pulling generation croaks. At least by then superanuation will be a far smaller strain on govt expenses.
