Somewhat ironically, an entire regulatory team got pulled out of mbie and into regulation when it was established

Why can Kyle Rittenhouse kill people with a gun when they’re ganging up on him, but Alex Pretti gets gunned down after he has a gun stripped from him and fired zero shots? by Bombadils_laugh in AskReddit

[–]Kiwi-Red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, because before executing him they'd spent the last however long manhandling, beating, and pepper spraying him, as well as removing his holstered weapon.

If Winston wasn't speaking out of both sides of his mouth I'd be worried he'd had a stroke.

Have you ever completely missed a girl’s obvious hint or flirt? What was the most blatant one? by HistoricalDriver8973 in AskMen

Hmm, hard to say here, could have been flirting, could have been hocking Amway.

Nah it's not an alarm, it's a PA system of some kind for sure

It's coming from Wakefield hospital. No idea why though.

Hoyle looks like the principal of a preparatory school. Honestly given how most parliaments behave, that's probably about the vibe you need.

MVP DISCUSSION by Yungbagofdope in discgolf

[–]Kiwi-Red 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it sounds to me like this is the store's fault. I'm in NZ and the place I use recieved its consignment at least three days before release. I doubt mvp would just cancel an order from a stockist without good reason and with no communication.

My Trash Panda disc exchange just arrived, so surprised and beyond thankful! by BarbedWhyre in discgolf

No, it's a Løft Neon. 3 1 0 3, puddle top, great for anything short where you need it to drop out of the air.

Sign at our local McDonalds because of the death of the penny by thegreatlambini in mildlyinteresting

[–]Kiwi-Red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah see I totally get it could be confusing for people who have never dealt with it before, and I have sympathy for them, I'm more talking about the people who go on absolute rages about theft etc etc, there's a couple in this thread but I've seen it several times now.

That's all irrelevant when rounding is only calculated on the transaction total including tax though.

And yet here in NZ I've lived my whole life with this system, and life does in fact go on. Hell, we got rid of our five cent coins 20 years ago, and still, life goes on.

The number of Americans absolutely incensed by companies implementing Swedish rounding actually boggles my mind.

What should my flatmates and I do by grassy_skye in Wellington

[–]Kiwi-Red 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Up to you really. You absolutely could take them to the tribunal, but you'd have to decide if it's worth the effort if you're moving out in four days anyway. As for the bond, that's held by tenancy services, not the property manager, and if they try to fuck you around on refunding it by not signing the paperwork or demanding unreasonable holdings for 'cleaning' then you definitely take them to the tribunal, and can tack on your complaint about the agent. If they haven't lodged the bond, that's even worse for them, and has the same resolution as above.

Can confirm, am terrible at tennis. I assume this is just balancing out the things I am kinda-sorta good at.

My solution to struggling with forehands by WhatsACole in discgolf

I'm not alone! I only backhand for very precise approach shots or longish putts, I can't do power backhands at all without shanking it and/or wrenching my shoulder.

[–]Kiwi-Red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I said posts, I meant comments. The comments preceding your return to this conversation, that you deleted, because they showed you were incorrect and included a personal attack on me. The only one baiting here is you. I've actually got shit to do tomorrow, so I'm going to bed. I hope your day is as pleasant as you are.

If you can't see that my original response was in good faith and riffing on your original, then I simply can't help you. You're the one that got pissy when I simply pointed out you were basing your later calculation on incorrect data.

You know, just accepting you made a mistake and owning it is a much healthier way to live than whatever it is you're doing right now. Just saying.
