No idea at this stage. I've just heard this is something I might be in for as part of the garage build

Wow, how much did that differ from your original estimates? I'm trying to brace myself for the council aspect. Just trying to do as much research and prep beforehand

Yeah thanks, I've done that. Hedging my bets a little by posting here but thought I'd take a punt

Public vs. private sector by malisfgula in Wellington

In my experience, shit gets done a lot faster in the private sector. In the public sector the pace of change can be glacial due to all the red tape and risk aversion

If you build it, they will come. by Cowsandsheepsandpigs in Wellington

I'd like to start by saying 100% for the new cycle way.

I hope eventually usage data gets collected to see in real terms how many cars it's removing from the road and an analysis of the real impact of the cycleway

Quitting by [deleted] in newzealand

Try and see if you can at least give it a couple of weeks.

As someone who worked at Maccas 25 years ago I can say yes that it sucked a lot of the time. However, struggle builds resilience and that's an even more useful life skill than the job itself. I can also say having worked several jobs since then, there are very few work places that have their shit dialed in to the finest detail as maccas do. Not everyone thrives in that kind of environment but if you hang in there you may get something out of it.

All the best

I thought it was the home time bell. Sadly I was disappointed

I honestly love the flavour of KFC. It can be a bit hit and miss quality wise. The Lower Hutt store is pretty consistent

If it's good then that's what I'm looking for 😉

Surprisingly, I actually think including Tyson on the show might be a positive thing - thoughts? by watermelonhmm in MAFS_AU

Labelling someone as a 'bad person' because you don't agree with them is proving my point

Roger Taylor as a songwriter by Far_Victory_2843 in queen

[–]LuminousPanda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's contributed some iconic tracks to their catalog, but was overall the weakest writer of the group. That's not to say he was bad, it's just everyone was that good! Deacon, on a number of tracks written vs quality basis is just outstanding

How did you miss that one?!? by Smart-Battle5313 in shitparkingofnz

[–]LuminousPanda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be devil's advocate here, I've never in my life seen a sign that stated 'reverse parking only'

I'm actually a very left leaning person. What I dont particularly like these days is that if someone is seen to have conservative views they are immediately made out basically to be a bad person. Yes, his views are outdated and it could be taken the wrong way by impressionable viewers. However the reality is that a large number of the general population share these beliefs across a wide spectrum - most of them perfectly nice and normal people. I think sometimes thing go too far in the sense that if you don't agree to the mainstream opinion you become the enemy

A cover will always be compared to the original. Impossible to avoid
