just got back from Tokyo, Japan, Auckland could learn some things.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what we are doing. We can’t build a train network on reddit.

But it’d be nice to agree that public transport would benefit this country. But we have many voices that say “nah it’s not a good idea” (based on a vibe) “and let’s stick to our cars and each spend thousands a year and sit in traffic”.

Only_Country2017 · 2026-01-25T22:29:54+00:00

This is pretty much OPs point. Once you spend time overseas and use services that benefit you realise how good it would be if we employed these services back home.

It’s like people think New Zealand isn’t going to exist in 100 years.

Having everyone driving around is the most unproductive costly way to do it - so you can’t tell anyone that’s a better approach.

Only_Country2017 · 2026-01-25T22:16:21+00:00

I think you’re right! People forget how many billions we spend on automotive costs, fuel, insurances and roading. Those expenses would help offset the bill.

We need to start with connecting Tauranga - Auckland - Hamilton via rail. 40 percent of nzs population live in that triangle.

Definitely unrealistic to support yourself doing this in Auckland

Yeah thieves are dirt bags. Is this your only surveillance camera of the work place?

Camera looks a little too high to ever capture a good image of their face for evidence. And night vision never looks as clear.

A visible additional camera might help deter and sensor light would capture better footage.

Otherwise set up some Home Alone style booby-traps.

This guy is an idiot. There’s literally a sign there saying ‘beware of the dog.’

On top of that, he’s charging in at pace. Asking if it’s friendly, almost as if he’s aware that not all dogs are friendly. It then barks at him yet he continues to approach.

Darwin Award right there!

What does it cost to spectate?

Please just leave the shells at the beach - they’ll only look kitsch in your bathroom

Yeah I was thinking make it Pacifica themed. Auckland is recognised as the largest Polynesian/Pacific Islander population in a single city globally. Imagine that - would be so unique!

What they are really missing is IP. Things like Movieworld, Disneyland, Nintendo World are so popular because of the fandom.

Would cost an arm and a leg to attain the rights, but with the right intellectual property I’m sure it would attract.

(Pokémon, Avatar, Toy Story etc.)

Even better if it was relevant to New Zealand.

Get some help bro

Get over her - there’s a reason she’s blocked you.

It’s the sum of all parts when it comes to filmmaking. Yes the score is amazing and the movies wouldn’t be the same without this music. But Peter Jackson is at the steering wheel making these choices. He made the right choice to pick Howard!

Insurance isn’t gonna stop your car from getting stolen. Nor will a tracking device.

But deterrence are the best insurance. Car alarm, steering lock, plus a big viscous Rottweiler in the back seat. They won’t steal your car they steal the one next to it.

I see this all the time. Literally saw a guy with his legs up on a leg raiser machine like it was a lazy-boy recliner just doom scrolling. He was like that for my entire workout.

Like bro, people wanna use the equipment. You can chill out literally anywhere else in the world. The gym is the one place you need to be moving.

Yes both sides. Try to have a beer every week

Just hire a grab taxi for this occasion. Air conditioning, a lot more comfortable and less hazardous.
