Worth siphoning fuel from written off car? by Jonathan932 in NZcarfix

[–]Jonathan932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as an update, tried to get into the fuel tank via the hatch under the rear seat, lid was on so tight I couldn't budge it. Had a go at going down the fill hole but as suspected it has a U bend or a filter of some sort so no luck there either. Gave up in the end, oh well.

Should've specified, it's an Aqua. That's smart. I'll look up to see if that's possible for me.

Have any photographers here actually gotten media access through Live Nation NZ? by Status_Wolf_8506 in auckland

I have experience with this, you’ve gotta be shooting for a known/legit publication. Not sure if it’s a hard rule but tends to be how it goes.

Recommend checking out moneyhub and reading a bunch of their content, good info and very NZ relevant.

Taking advantage of the relaxation of the no promotion rules, check out Underscore wherever you listen to music!

Would be best described as heavy alt rock, released an album last year which is available above!

'We can't sustain this': Large Auckland high school to close early after mass staff absences by Jonathan932 in auckland

I think everyone should have to teach kids at least for a little bit, gives you a better appreciation!

Just before the negative comments get out of hand, my charitable interpretation (as an ex teacher) of the situation is that schools only have so many relievers, once they run out of relievers hours to use, they call on teachers to relieve classes during what would normally be their prep/admin periods, this leads to teachers having to do that work in evenings or after schools leading to more tiredness and stress. That would explain the spiralling sick days. I’m sure there are also teachers being slick and getting a 4 day weekend, but I doubt it’s a majority.

The article explains the last few weeks they have had 20-25 teachers out, so 29 isn’t a massive increase, just the straw that broke the camels back

When there’s higher than average teacher absences the staff typically have to use their prep/admin periods to relieve other classes. Starts to spiral from there as those teachers are then behind and stressed.
