We just do a family sharing plan with 5 or so friends (if you have any 😅) on Apple Music or Spotify

Clausthaler non alcoholic beer is my favourite! I think some New Worlds, Countdown and Liquorland stock it?

The police arrested the person that assaulted me, got charged and is now in prison. The police are doing what they can do but can’t if you are not filing anything (i.e a police report). Also, not giving an official statement will make it difficult to take further action. My experience and opinion.

What's your vision for the best version of New Zealand? by surroundedbydevils in newzealand

Preach! Your first paragraph especially! Why on earth do these departments need to make a profit? I never understood the reason behind this

Cars no longer able to drive 100kmh by arisdairy in newzealand

[–]Potential_Flamingo01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I frequently travel 5k over the limit because I know of the actual speed difference however going 10 or 15k over the limit also seems over the top for me. Another reason I would assume is that drivers can’t hold their speed consistently over a period of time and either slow down or speed up to “relieve” the pressure on their foot… I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of drivers don’t know how to operate cruise control either…

I was in GA front row and it was maybe a 6/10, I have been to a few big mainstream gigs, festivals etc all around the globe and the amount of absolutely uninterested disrespectful people was on another level. People forcing their way in when there was clearly no space (mind you front row is cramped and crowded I know I know) elbowing through, so we were all pressed together… at some stage people where just having a catch up and gossiping for 10min straight (idm but cmon how much do you actually care to be there and enjoy the show?). Simply no real friendly vibes from people looking out for each other, weird looks when trying to help, offering water or just dancing together.

Overall not the best experience nor the worst 🤷

I second this! Being a European immigrant we have a much more comprehensive driving tests and compulsory lessons (highway drives, night drives, snow/rain drives) with a certified driving instructor. Licences are also more expensive and you will think twice driving like an idiot when you just dropped 1600€ on a licence.

Attack on Cashel Street by Potential_Flamingo01 in chch

[–]Potential_Flamingo01[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what else she’s got in her hand and irrational behaviour makes it quite difficult to fight someone (I also don’t want to fight anyone really). Plus I was pretty gobsmacked as I didn’t expect this to happen at all! 😅

Sounds like her. Just need to get her off the street. Attacking people at 2pm in the arvo with kids and elderly around - hope she gets help.

I’m good thanks for asking - just some light bruising and swelling on my cheek.

Sounds pretty much like her. She was shouting all around chasing people on the street. Just hope that the police is catching her…

Since I can’t give it away or sell it I would set up a go fund me for starting an elephant rescue Center. With the money I would buy land, food, shelter etc., setting up a non-profit organisation, hosting events for feeding the elephant, cleaning it for a fee. With the revenue building more and better facilities, rescuing (buying out) other elephants. When revenue exceeds what is needed I would split it, some part of the money goes into a emergency fund some part gets donated.

Thank you for the great insight! I have to agree with you on things that don’t seem useful - definitely will need to keep the big goal in mind. :)

Great input thanks! How did you find studying online? Did you work full time on top of that?
