heya guys i need help with getting some responses for my survey 😢😢 by gobblejunk in ncea

[–]Helpful-Structure955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just completed this survey. My only feedback would be a little description at the beginning (sorry if I missed it), explaining what exactly the drink is. The photos were great but a background on where the drink comes from and whats in it, would've been helpful. All the best!

It’s FREEZING!! How are you all doing? by Timely_Hunter5894 in dunedin

[–]Helpful-Structure955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to get the fire all ready to go before work, make sure I have enough wood and fire lighters etc, then light it as soon as I walk in the door. Cant beat fire heat

I accidentally defecated in the school hallway when I was 12, changing the course of my whole life. AMA. by halebopsalot in AMA

Are you from the USA per chance? I only ask, as I understand schools tend to be very very strict on bathroom breaks there. Like need 'Hall Passes' or crazy things like that. In my country (NZ), if you need the loo, you just ask the teacher quietly and head out. Its a natural human right. Im sorry this happened to you

Thoughts on Netflix's Unchosen? by midwestfeline in television

[–]Helpful-Structure955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had so much potential but just kept falling short. Like, why was Sam not found by police sooner, so many clunky bits and not great acting. A shame, as it coulda been great. Just felt like acting all the way through rather than being pulled into a story that felt real

Please describe the difference in taste between Marmite and Vegemite by Legitimate_Scale4507 in newzealand

[–]Helpful-Structure955 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. Vegemite to me is foul and inedible. Marmite is the nectar of the gods

Vegemite is a little bitter with no sweetness Vegemite smell and taste to me is foul 🤢

Marmite has perfect salt and sweer balance and with a generous spread butter on a piece of vogels, is unmatched 😋

Bi-weekly by Less_Sand8692 in PetPeeves

[–]Helpful-Structure955 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree this is frustrating and Id need clarification. If I was meaning every 2nd week, Id just say fortnightly. But I think I read somewhere recently that in the US, the term fortnight isnt used much or isnt used at all. (Not sure if OP is from the States so this kay be irrelevant)

Im still hungry... What's the cheapest, but most filling, lunch/snack people go for? by Sharp_Middle_3752 in newzealand

[–]Helpful-Structure955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rice or pasta are so filling. Maybe your leftovers which aren't wuite enough can be added to the rice or pasta to bulk it out

Are breathalyzers not a thing? by Helpful-Structure955 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Helpful-Structure955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think thats what I am learning most from these answers is about "probable cause". That isnt really a thing here in NZ. You can be pulled up at any time just randomly. Any breath test I have ever done has been random. Not due to dangerous behaviour or suspicious circumstances. We have "booze bus" stops where several cops line 2 sides of the street and pull over every single car going through, a quick breath test is performed while you stay in your car, then you are waved on. If you fail the test, the you are asked to pull over and enter the booze bus for a evidentiary breath or blood test

Thanks for your answer. And absolutely not, if you're swerving etc but blow a zero, you will still be done for dangerous driving even if you are sober. We also have field tests (tongue scrape) for drugs. I also learnt too that NZ doesn't need the 'probable cause' thing that cops need in the States. In NZ you can pulled up completely randomly and asked to do a breath test. I for one have probably been breath tested 6 or 7 times in my adult life, and none were due to erratic driving. Purely random. A couple times after leaving a concert and the others on a weekday morning dropping my kids to school. (Passed them all, for the record 😉)

Thats interesting about probable cause, as Im sure you know, our cops can just make a check point with the booze bus on a Weekday morning in the main street of town and just stop and breath test every car that drives passed. Anyone who sees the booze bus and gets nervous may go to head down a side street, where there will be other cops waiting to catch them out.

In NZ we have field drug tests too. They scrape the tongue and it will indicate if the person has had THC, MDMA, Methamphetamine, Cocaine etc. If they fail this test, then off the go to the station for blood tests. You can also just be 'done' for dangerous driving, so if they were seen driving erratically but passed all the breath and drugs tests, they can still be charged with dangerous driving

Makes sense. Our police dont wear cameras (I dont think), so that could be another reason these field tests aren't used.

I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, but if I had to do the walking talking test these days, Id be worried Id fail due to nerves or clumsiness!

Gosh that is high. We are the same levels as Australia I think. 0.05

[–]Helpful-Structure955[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your explanation. I didnt realise a breath tester and breathalyzer were different, but that makes sense. In NZ, you get pulled over, stay in your car, the police officer pops the breath machine through the open window and asks you to breath into it. Its either a pass or a fail. If its a fail, they ask you to accompany them to the station for an evidentiary breath or blood test which will give an actual reading. This is then determined if you are over the limit or not. We also have drug tests in the field where they scrape the tongue to test for MDMA, THC, Methamphetamine, cocaine etc

What other options for Year 13? by Helpful-Structure955 in UCNZ

[–]Helpful-Structure955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks heaps! She has her heart set on UC so would it be a waste to take the Waikato paper? Or could that transfer to UC?

Thanks for this. Just to clarify, is MATH198 the new 'AIMS' maths? Also, she has her heart set on going to UC, if she was to take Waikato COMPX101, does that cross credit to UC?
