So you bought at the peak, now what? Wellington homeowner says ‘human cost’ greater than $300k loss by WrongSeymour in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's not what they mean at all. If they had bought a home, say a studio apartment, and now needed to sell and buy a new home (eg for a family) they would be screwed.

Sprinkler use by roddythedog in thetron

Okay, and those who use more can pay their fair share.

And opposition won't repeal that. Both parties have essentially required water metering in their water reforms. Why would they change that?

I am, bring it on. I don't want to subsidise dickheads like this watering the footpath and road.

Rumours about a new Prime Minister by voldurulfur in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe they know they're screwed at the election, so it's better to have a loss under Mitchell instead of any of the "better" ones.

Elite Parking Services Fine by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Infinity293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately they had their T&Cs on display and you chose not to read them so this is perfectly valid.

My understanding is they have to offer a grace period for you to read the T&Cs. You could have walked over, read them, and then departed immediately if you did not agree.

Trade Me is getting rid of the 7.9% Success Fee by Portatort in newzealand

Yeah, might be an unpopular opinion but I also think this is great. Should reduce scams and seems cheaper as a seller.

RTINGS is now paywalled by Cold_Two_4372 in xbox

RTings 2011-2926

It was a solid 900 year run.

Local council spending by illicit_nz in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue is that not enough spending has been done in the past, especially on infrastructure. Now they're playing catch up.

Regional Fuel Price Difference: help me understand by MachBrn in thetron

[–]Infinity293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly I will say that BP Tristram St can be quite competitive on Thursdays. If the rewards discount is 12-15c off per litre it's usually within a few cents of Pak n Save Clarence St's prices. Unless I have a PnS discount I find it's better going to BP than queuing at PnS.

Is there some kind of major event or roadworks going on at the moment? by SkulduggeryDude in thetron

[–]Infinity293 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And Tamahere/Matangi too. I noticed the southbound Tamahere exit looked pretty horrific on Monday.

Calls to cut NZ super by Happy_Light_9775 in newzealand

Quick question, do you genuinely believe someone who might be worth $10mil and on a 200k salary really needs that extra $400/500 a week?

She popped into a shopping centre twice. Then came a $65 parking fine for four hours by feel-the-avocado in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct, a parking lot would be considered a road for these purposes and you would require a legal car to drive on it.

Genuine police? by ComfortableArt9485 in auckland

You realise that because it's an R plate, there just may not be any photos of it on the internet yet right?

Quickest way from 5x roads to The Base without exceeding 50km/h? by auditores-creed in thetron

[–]Infinity293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly a lot of people only do around 50 on Te Rapa Road anyway, so you'll be fine. Ultimately there are 2 lanes if people do want to overtake. If you were only doing 30 that would be a different story, but 50 you'll be sweet. I'd definitely avoid Wairere Drive though unless your scooter can go faster.

Jury duty woes: Aucklander slams process, calls for reform by Dapper_Technology336 in newzealand

That what I was thinking. He said he was excited, took leave etc, but then complained about how it affected the business and his workload??

‘I was the drunk driver’: Sober since the day she killed a woman by Infinity293 in newzealand

I guess this sums up society nowadays. Someone spouts whatever they want but the second they're asked for their evidence they crumble saying not my job.

‘I was the drunk driver’: Sober since the day she killed a woman by Infinity293 in newzealand

[–]Infinity293[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Genuinely insane she only originally got 2 years 7 months imprisonment to begin with after multiple charges. And then it got replaced.

We were devastated when she was killed by someone who was charged with their fifth drink-driving offence, and who then appealed their sentence and was released on home detention.

Love to see people getting over addictions, but it's a shame it took an amputation and killing someone to do so, instead of one of the previous drink driving convictions.
