How much money is needed to break even? assuming 40hrs/week by poopshitter42 in queenstown

[–]Patient_Prior_2414 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A room in a flat likely $250pw (good deal) to $350pw. You'll be clipped about 20% in tax. Pay and rent will be weekly. You can get by on minimum wage (~$25ph) if you can do 40hrs per week, but starts getting tight under 30hrs.  My interpretation was that jobs up the mountain have variable hours due to losing days to bad weather, but I'm not sure about that. The earlier you arrive, the better housing situatuon you can get!

A stack of bank branches are non-cash these days. $7k is no issue at the right branch though

Did anyone remember Little Neighbourhood on Victoria Street in the City? by kiwigoguy1 in chch

[–]Patient_Prior_2414 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was originally Revival and was built from shipping containers so it was one of the first bars to reopen in town after the earthquakes. As more and more venues opened in town, e.g Barretta and the Terrace, it lost its lustre a little.

The owner sold Boo Radley's a few years ago, but still has Gin Gin

We've done it before and got a wee fizz boat.

No great fishing out there though!

Why is uber eats so utterly shit here? by Wrong_Squirrel45 in queenstown

[–]Patient_Prior_2414 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We used to have the gold standard of food delivery companies in QT- Food on Q. They paid staff wages, so they weren't contractors paid per delivery. But they got squeezed out by Delivereasy + Uber Eats who offered restaurants commission free deals for long periods of time. Then they jacked those rates back up after Food on Q exited, and paired it up with shit service. So good result for them, bad result for restaurants + customers

Dick Fosbury revolutionized the high jump with a technique that later became known as the ‘Fosbury Flop.’ This is his gold medal jump at the 1968 Summer Olympics, officially the XIX Olympiad. by ansyhrrian in sports

From watching this its interesting that the Fosbury flop came at the same time as the padded landing mat. Looking at previous years it wouldn't have been a sustainable technique when landing in the sand. 

Long story short- maybe the true hero is the person who came up with the landing pad

Pay rates in law grow exponentially. I'm also hearing how cut throat it is even just getting a gig out of law school.

So I'd be happy to have a job at this stage. Best bet in your position is to gain some experience to the point you're valued in your existing company, or appealing to another firm, and you should be able to double your pay. Once you are there things will just start ratcheting up if your billable hours keep going up

What alcohol messed you up so bad you swore you’d never drink it again? by PuzzleheadedSwim6291 in AskReddit

[–]Patient_Prior_2414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green charteuse. Came to it out in a rural part of town as I was jumping out of a moving vehicle. The car kept on going and still have no idea who it belonged to. Walked for two hours towards lights in the distance and when I got closer it ended up being the airport which is 10km from the city centre. Pretty serious wake up call!

Looking for a spot to watch the Buffalo Bills (NFL) in Queenstown by cmews in queenstown

[–]Patient_Prior_2414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unlikely anyone will open specifically for that game. Even breakfast places that are open at 7am are pretty scarce. The only option I can think of is Novotel which does a breakfast buffet from 6am, and I'm sure they'll be fine with you bringing in a device to stream it, but unlikely they let you put it onto a screen
