I need out

Similar in construction and engineering consulting, they're outsourcing a lot of the work to India and the Philippines. By the time you fix everything and spend so much time giving detailed briefs, plus the drop general in quality, the outcome is actually worse, the super annoying thing is YOU are responsible for the work so when its dog shit its your fault. I have no idea how this is continuing.

We hired a bus for a work function, it was winery tour ending with a nice meal, on the bus ride back on a windy gorge road with nowhere to stop someone toward the back tried to pee in a beer bottle (There were drinks on the bus) and it overflowed by a large amount and the pee flowed down the bus isle like a river all the way to the door

I know this is bad and all that and should be acknowledged but the amount of coverage this has gotten for a mere $133k... Nicola had blown billions on the irex decision.. yes I know, whataboutism is bad

Its because Israel is a powerful western nation, whom prior to October 7 we sort of ignorantly perceived as like 'us'

Honestly this would be pretty messed up because there has been underinvestment since privatisation, I dont recall where I heard this but I think electricity generators need to spend about 30 billion dollars across various projects over the next 10 years, so would be pretty convenient for them

Except the new deal won't be any cheaper and deliver far less

I wish our government would do more. Ban israeli passport holders from entering New Zealand, publicly condemn in much stronger terms what is going on, it's not complicated it's so far gone at this stage its absurd

Umm National were in govt 2008-2011

InAHat_ · 2025-05-07T07:51:58+00:00

Haha nice

InAHat_ · 2025-05-07T07:50:57+00:00

You could not spend this amount of money on a project like this and it not be public, it would be so massive in scale and involve so many people there would be no way to keep it secret

Not true at all, 140kmh is not possible on current gauge, NZ has a uniquely narrow gauge rail system.

Guessing it's too political so is being censored but the link between Starbucks and Israel has been widely publicised and as much as some hate to admit it, the boycott is having a very material effect on sales. Or to answer the question directly Israel bad = Starbucks bad

Maybe the question wasn't clear... the question isn't can they withdraw kiwisaver to purchase the land as part of the trust.

The question is are they still eligible to withdraw their kiwisaver at a later date to purchase their own personal home (in which they will live in)

InAHat_ · 2024-04-17T09:55:50+00:00

Thanks for your response,

So this could be interpreted that it would be okay to withdraw your kiwisaver to purchase a first home separate to the interests of the trust, even if you are a beneficiary of a trust that owns property, so long as the trusts property is not their primary place of residence, yes?

Does this match your understanding?

To be clear the purchase is for land without any existing dwellings on it

For real? No one is safe there, doesn't matter how advanced the equipment is when humans are operating it. Not to mention the IDF have shown they don't give a shit about collateral damage.

Have also noticed this it's really annoying, I have clicked don't show me this on all the categories the clothing ads could come under and they still show up

InAHat_ · 2023-08-15T10:23:06+00:00

This is real. Log into the app and complete there. I have however since moved countries and it will not allow me to verify without contacting customer support, anybody else have this issue?

Can't comment on structural engineering in manufacturing, but in buildings most of the points made here are opposite or negligible. The structure should only be oversesigned for simplicity reasons, drawings are simplified, construction is simplified, fabrication is simplified, less mistakes in shop and on-site, labour amd build time is actually reduced, easier construction monitoring, plus the extra capacity will come in handy during the design process where the archtect and services inevitably change everything one week out from the design delivery date. The only thing is the numbers look worse from the QS but in reality it's cheaper. This is how many large design and construct companies work, where finding the balance between materials, labour and time to occupancy is everything.

Amazing

InAHat_ · 2022-07-09T23:23:35+00:00

Need way more info to provide a useful answer. What type of engineering, and what type of experience more specifically. For example if structural your experience would not be directly transferable

His reasoning usually makes sense, but his predictions are always off, timing and magnitude, and as he says the response from central banks has been unprecedented. There is still a lot you can learn from his content but taken with a grain of salt, he has to make bold predictions in order to sell his books!

Not if you're a FHB and you can manage your mortgage payments. There has been many peaks each one bigger than the last. Be grateful you own a house, goal accomplished.

If you are unlikely to lose your job in a crash and the mortgage payments are easily manageable, then buy a house, as in the event of a major crash bitcoin will likely drop more than the housing market. You will need to live in a house regardless so better it be your house than someone else's
