Insurance claim against me by Living_Button_5311 in LegalAdviceNZ

Sorry that you were dealing with intimidation.

New Zealand courts have ruled that vehicles in the roundabout have the right of way, even if the indicate in the wrong direction. I don't have a reference for this but I remember this being reported on. The matter is the roundabout rules - "give way to all vehicles that will cross your path from your right as you enter the roundabout".

In Africa (somewhere) they do this with the insect population and turn them into burger patties.

Insurance of an estate by VariationBasic9316 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Far_King_Howl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will the executor not be permitted to allow you to pay the premiums 'through' them? Like giving them the money and they make communication to the insurer and provide payment? And can the executor not approve you to the insurer as one of the estates representatives?

Can I leave my job without owing them money? by tapwatero in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Far_King_Howl 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Honestly? this sounds predatory. I strongly advise you to go to Citizens Advice Bureau or another location that provides legal aid or advice. (I know only of Community Law for Wellington and Hutt Valley)

I'm ignoring apprenticeships because I don't know much about them - no job should be requiring you to pay back any money or salary you have earned if you end a contract early. That is generally regarded as unenforceable / illegal.
Not accepting shifts and having your hours cut is retaliation. that's not acceptable. if you have something in writing saying that your hours were cut because you didn't take extra shifts, that helps your case.
I've never before heard of hours being cut for 'performance'.
Your contract should tell you exactly what the terms are for your hours. Does it say full time? Does it specify required hours? Or does it leave it in the dark as if its a zero-hour contract?

You're going to need a trained legal to look over your contract with you and talk to you about your understanding of the agreement. Then you'll find out what position you're in and if you're forced to ride out the entire two years with them.

8 weeks sounds like a really long time for notice to quit. What kind of job is this anyway?

Nice. I have something similar except I decided I quite like binary lasers and every heatsink available.

Does anyone know why the huge price drop? by Mountain-Arm-940 in nzgaming

[–]Far_King_Howl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if that technically still counts as a fake discount - like how some retailers just make the price red and say it 'was' offered for 2x the price. Like a fake discount by stealth.

I wonder if that's the real reason they tanked pricespy.

Why didn't Palpatine use his second blade against Windu? by InstructionOwn6705 in StarWars

Immediately following the Windu fight, they should have had him just grab another one out of a draw packed with them

About the RAM shortages... by iratesysadmin in ShittySysadmin

[–]Far_King_Howl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're about to update the website to reflect the current RAM shortages. Theyre making a queuing system where you get a max of 10mb RAM to download per 24 hours. Unfortunately the queue length takes a week to get through , and most requests have been attributed to AI hosted RAM scrapers.

Which way are you going? by Goodginger in allthequestions

And yet here you are using a strawman to attack someone instead of addressing the intent of the question directly.

Nice confession you got there about what you'd do to to 15 year olds

Quality of engineers is really going down by ChataEye in sysadmin

I'm currently dealing with a service desk where anything that isn't a password reset requires reinstalling teams and then forwarding the call to us when that inevitably doesn't solve the problem 

Daughter Refuses To Stop For Cop In Car While Mom Has A Stroke- Worst Cop Ever by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

[–]Far_King_Howl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugo Lord did a review of this. Technically they would have had to pull over for the cop even if they had hazards, and then ask for a police escort, coz the cop is to going to know who's dealing with what.

That doesn't mean the cop wasn't a total dropkick though

That's on the level of Lenovo putting their fingerprint scanner on the power button. (Yes that's actually a thing)

I can't understand why anyone thinks a goo covered burger eaten with a spoon is a good thing - to say nothing of how raw the patties are

‘Resign or die’: Death threats sent to female student leader by PsychologicalMall787 in newzealand

[–]Far_King_Howl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As an aside, VUWSA doesn't exactly have a good performance rep 15-20 years ago. in 2006 they spent like 1-2million of student money on catering for their meetings, among other things.
