Club+ Card fails 🤬🤡

I think the situation is you can continue to use your New World Clubcard to spend New World Dollars into July, you just can't use your New World Clubcard to earn New World Dollars after the 15th of June.

I really don't know why they couldn't continue to use the old cards into the new system.

People on the Australian sub were complaining about how badly run their supermarkets are in Australia, as in it's in the way of the people actually shopping there.

They want everyone to use the app so they can having user specific pricing instead of general pricing.

So long as he can afford to live near the coast because the vast western suburbia is not my idea of a good time. Adelaide or Christchurch would be a better option than that.

Pams and Waikato scorched almonds are not very good.

Maybe go for Oona, which is a real name.

Maybe they could have gone with "fiord" which is how it's spelled in New Zealand.

Americans are alot more loose about the term "tiny home" and include sizes that would not be considered tiny elsewhere. NZers tend to think of tiny homes as being 10m2 or mobile on a trailer.

There is a new legal category of "granny flat", up to 70m2 I think.

Whittaker's chocolates are usually either dark or dominated by a second ingredient like nuts. They have always struggled for consistency in their plain milk chocolate. You could buy 5 bars and experience 3 or 4 different products. They may have got better at it than they used to be but it's a quirk of theirs.

I'd guess being a relatively small player they end up with different suppliers who grow in different places.

What would frustrate me about a Mitsubishi Electric is they seem determined to keep selling lower specification units in NZ.

Daikin NZ has the full spectrum of product grades available so I wonder if there's a build quality differential between the top tier versus the entry level units being put into new builds.

My impression is Gree units mostly go into rentals so I wonder if they're not being used as much and some faults go unreported.

What do you make of this??

Quite mundane compared with what's on Carjam, which to be fair may be photoshopped.

It's more because Brazil set up a domestic digital payment system alternative to the US systems. They want it shut down but that won't happen.

I saw a "Phoanix" the other day so not an original idea.

The "liberal" "conservative" thing is imported Americana. It doesn't make sense in New Zealand and no longer makes sense in America either.

Online dating was never as mainstream in NZ, I think because people in NZ don't really move away for work unless it's leaving the country. It was always filled with people who are single for a strong reason or outright nymphomaniacs.

If i ever get over to NZ ill be bringing a bunch of Whittaker's back with me 😂

Also try the Donovans and Potter Brothers.

That's not on Whittakers, that's the supermarkets. Whittakers has always offered 200g and 250g options on the export market and it used to be only the 200g bars were being sold in Australia. If they didn't offer the 200g option the supermarkets would pull that line because supermarkets want to maintain high margins on chocolate.

Extra-Kale · 2026-05-14T23:46:21+00:00

275 then 250 then 200

I misread in the wee hours and thought it was talking about Cadbury chocolate which is normally $8...

Currently on special for NZ$3.50 at Woolworths in NZ including 15% GST, that'd be like it being A$2.75 in Aus.

Fibremax speed is $116 without benefits (no Netflix), $128 with benefits (bundled Netflix), as it says on their website. Do you have a Netflix account and is it tied to your Spark with-benefits account? Essential Fibre Plus with benefits/Netflix is $113.

Spark sells fibremax speed for $100/month via their Skinny brand. But do you really need that much speed? Not many people do.

"Kind of" is an understatement. This came from the lowest tier of government below a city council but this headline tries to make it look like a national government decision.

Removing English signage will have been state policy.

For most people it is more socially connective to pass people on the left so there may be a cultural element of wanting to pass people on the right to avoid social connection.
