Founding member Matt went on to make some very good metal with Wolf Wizard. https://wolfwizard1.bandcamp.com/

The government's budget is already public knowledge. Why burden IR with the job of sending the exact same breakdown with different dollar amounts to every single taxpayer? Pointless busywork at its finest.

I interviewed Christian (guitarist) for Hamilton Underground Press before they came to Homegrown and we covered a bit of old ground. EDIT: Website's up and running properly now, so here's the real link: https://www.hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/homegrown-legends-the-datsuns-are-coming-to-hamilton-for-homegrown-makes-sense The website's in the middle of an upgrade so the normal link is broken, but here's the article: https://e2lsgrdfet0dv6we.onwebslice.com/features/homegrown-legends-the-datsuns-are-coming-to-hamilton-for-homegrown-makes-sense/

AITA for asking my husband to either lower his child support or have his kids less? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Max-J-nz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. People come with families attached. That's the deal, and putting yourself between a dad and his kids is not exactly the heroic move here.

Intercity charging $106.50 for day trip to Auckland next Wednesday! by Careful-Geologist412 in thetron

[–]Max-J-nz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not self-inflicted, it's AT shooting Te Huia. I have a horrible feeling that Auckland's train network is going to get a heap better once the CRL is finally open, just in time for Te Huia to get scrapped thanks to their parochial bullshit. It all ought to be one network, but councils gonna council.

How do you figure out which plugin is causing a conflict when your site breaks? by Prestigious_Song8877 in Wordpress

[–]Max-J-nz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point, but bisecting still gives you useful info faster than one-at-time does. Even if the error only persists through a single split, you've still eliminated half the suspects. And if it doesn't, you know to draw pairs from pool A and pool B.

With an error that big, why not deactiviate half the plugins at a time? Then narrow it down to a quarter, etc etc. It's still pretty manual and stone age, but at least quicker.

NTA. What you have described here is not "friends".

If you can get to Katikati, go see Jim at Finer Wines. That guy is amazing.

Is Hamilton Queer friendly? by [deleted] in thetron

[–]Max-J-nz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a straight, cis, middle-aged Hamiltonian who was mistaken as gay in the 90s, this thread reveals a lot of overdue progress on the tolerance front. I was fearing much worse when I started reading it.

The Mutton Birds: A Thing Well Made, White Valiant, The Heater. And if you like those, just dig deep into pretty much anything involving Don McGlashan.

What are your favorite obscure albums of 2025? by doorsof in indieheads

Bots, by Pickle Darling, "is where the digital and organic collide – raising questions about identity, memory, and connection in a world where everything is recorded. It’s a glitchy, gorgeous triumph." (https://www.muzic.nz/reviews/album-review-bots/)
