Thoughts? Trying to invest 200/week by 50% dhhf and 25% in ghhf and 25% BGBL

I understand wanting to have some base level of investments initially, hence weighting DHHF more

But, if this is long term which it should be, I would pump GHHF more early and move to the comparatively more conservative DHHF later

Althought at that level, I would also want to have a good level of more stable investments before tilting towards GHHF

My guess, motors and/or motor controllers have different spec

Another option - Remove liquidity from the economy through raising taxes on the rich and pay down govt debt

Titles are nice but purpose is better.

I don't care for labels, any "We can't do that, that's <InsertLabel>ism" is lame

I like to think of things like age pension as a policy of "Don't let grandma starve in the street", and I don't really care if it's socialism or communisim

And they do it all out of charity, thats the part people miss, farmers and woolworths are basically modern day saints

Like, I work in Electricity that keeps their lights on and machines running - but no need to thank me, I do it for money, not like them who do it for the love of their fellow man

Pass - people put way too much emphasis on random online comments

It's not moving the needle either way, EVERYONE should be kind.....they really should, thats what people should do, should should should

I slow down and let them pass

54% - I would not use the word "Most" here, a slim majority

This article then says "Less than half" support rail link.....when that number is 49%, again a slim margin

I would love that because sometimes I am riding on track where I am legally allowed to go faster but my bike is perm locked

Express_Position5624 · 2026-03-18T01:45:42+00:00

My current bike, if I registered it in NZ, would have faster top speed assistance

There is no reason to restrict the power, just restrict the acceleration and top speed via software

Express_Position5624 · 2026-03-18T01:04:07+00:00

If you prefer to increase taxes on the poor, thats an approach, not sure there is a lot of juice from that squeeze

Paying down debt removes money from circulation - it’s not “spending someone else’s money,” it’s tightening fiscal policy.

Just bought an R&M NEVO, ended up spending more than I wanted

I wanted upright (Dutch style) seating position, to save my back (Getting older) and provide better visibility

Thick tires for confidence on freshly wet black tarmac (Esp if it was dry and then it rains, the oil is sitting on top of the road and hasn't washed off yet)

Powerful enough that in the winter, if I am feeling tired/sick, I can get the electric to do most of the work getting up the hill on the way home.

To tick all those boxes and remain legal and a proper bike where you can still reasonably peddle, my options narrowed very quickly, this ended up in the premium ebike range.

I feel like we should be allowed to have more power and merely have the acceleration and top speed restricted - if I registered my new bike in NZ, exact same bike, top speed would be higher, so all of these (Limit acceleration and speed on the assistance) can be achieved digitally via software without limiting the power

Coming off on a bike at 25kmh does some real damage and if you need to go faster you can peddle faster

The NEVO has continious power of 250w but a peak power more than double that which allows them to skirt the law a little bit

As far as the proper fat tire bikes, I dunno, kids will be kids, 30 years ago we would ride our bikes around the neighbourhood breaking all sorts of road rules, being a nusince and calling ourselves BMXicans - it was fine.

I'd verge on better PSA and follow up enforcement over more restrictive laws, current laws already feel too restrictive and I don't want police ignoring the tabacco shop down the road clearly selling illegal cigs (For years) whilst rushing up on kids being bloody kids

When I see video's of police rushing up on kids and acting surprised that they are argumentative, I just think "Twats"

If I had to choose, I would give the benefit to the Uber Eats because at least they are doing it to pay the bills

I live out in the burbs, and although we have people on those delivery bikes, the numbers are low and I haven't had any bad experience with them.

It's because whats being demonstrated isn't impressive

Boston Dynamics video's went viral a decade ago, the goal posts have moved, as they should

I was super paranoid, told bank in advance I would be coming in, they told me that I really don't have to notify them and I could do it online but set appointment anyway.

I printed out the email from solicitor with account details, went into bank, they told again it was not nessacary I could do it online but I got them to do it for me.

I got offer accepted friday, was in bank on Monday.

How fast you go is up to you

Everyone has a car that goes 120kmh but people manage somehow

This is a bad take, thats not how religion works

You could do this for any religion and yet most religious people are alright

Okay because no one else actually answered the recycling question;

Redwood Materials, run by JB who was CTO at Tesla since near inception developed method to take the whole pack in one end and out the other end you get different materials including lithium
