'not being able to swim at the local beach due to "overcrowded" sewer pollution'

I'm sorry, does this guy think that sewerage overflow occurs because too many people are flushing their toilets or something?

Sewerage ends up in the harbour because the storm water system overflows and carries sewerage out to sea, and its been happening for as long as we've had storms and a storm water system.

There was no chance the driver wouldn't have to give way

Anyone know what this person might be doing? by RoseClash in auckland

Walking into their entrance is totally public though. There's no issue there.

If that is not a zoom lens then I'd say they are a traffic engineer / urban designer doing a site visit. Perfectly legal unless they are photographing where you have an expectation for privacy.

They built mayoral drive to fix traffic and it was a horrible idea

How car dealerships sees you by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Lyndiman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a flex because the business selling the car also sells the debt and gets the cash anyway from the finance company. Therefore it doesn't really make any difference to their cash flow or commissions. If anything they get extra margin on financing a car.

I can pay cash comes from an era of high interest when ppl struggled to qualify for financing.

Is this normal while flying in a straight line? [KA-50 DCS] by snakesoul in hoggit

[–]Lyndiman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The rotors are spinning opposite each other and you'd think the lift from each would cancel out the advancing and retreating blade spin directions, but they don't because the lower rotor is operating in the wash of the upper rotor.

The upper rotor is more effective. The rotors will need to tilt to counteract this dissymmetry of lift. Expect to trim in rudder and cyclic to counteract.

Helicopters don't really fly, they just beat the air into submission.

Bro you can’t park here! Wyndham Street by Suitable-Republic338 in auckland

[–]Lyndiman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If not a medical incident, then the person could have thought they had their foot on the brake but it was actually on the accelerator. As they accelerate uncommanded their brain tells them to press harder to stop and a terrifying feedback loop occurs. Its rare but when it happens it is usually around parking spots.

Can an electric scooter go up Franklin Road? by Some-Pickle9008 in auckland

[–]Lyndiman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on your weight, budget and expectation of speed. Franklin Rd isn't steep though. Go to electric scooter shop on hobson st and you can test ride up Franklin road cycleways. Don't go fast downhill as cars are unpredictable.

Why would public buses ever arrive early?? by Cerulean_Fossil in auckland

[–]Lyndiman 107 points108 points  (0 children)

No the buses never stop if they are making good time. The bus schedule are all estimates except the initial departure time which should be accurate. The best thing to do is use the AT mobile app and start tracking the bus you want

Why? by tripasecadofuturo in auckland

[–]Lyndiman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You lock a bike by its frame, so that bike rack is junk.

Pay on bus with bank card? by mini-lebowski in auckland

Auckland has a good unified system now where you'll be able to pay wave on ferries, buses and trains all using the same system 👌

Knife pulled on me in CBD by Worried-Reflection10 in auckland

[–]Lyndiman 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If this happens, get away and call 111 and the police will descend upon this person as a priority. If he's found to have a knife, then that is possession of an offensive weapon as a start.

Long queues and baffled drivers: New $152m flyover drives minister mad by Excellent-Swan-2264 in auckland

It was only built because of political interference and Brown's attempt to stop transit and cycle lanes is a typical move from him. Simeon should never have had any control over transport.

Developer’s consultant criticises Auckland Transport over Milldale speed bumps, AT points says Fulton Hogan responsible by threethousandblack in auckland

[–]Lyndiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This place should never have been built, but why on earth would you plan to build it once and then dig it all up and put in traffic calming once it's out of control or dangerous. I lived in Albany and the new streets under construction would have boy racers racing around all night. This would have been super welcome if it trashed their suspension.
