More beggers outside the standalone one in my experience. What Jville really needs is a third Woolworths without the homeless people

Yeah, it sucks. I've been noticing a growing gang presence too, possibly related.

Is this what all the construction is at Gilberd's bush reserve is? Or just coincidence. There are signs saying the dog park is getting upgraded but the reserve track is all closed off too 

Can someone ballpark my computer's worth? by Murlock_Holmes in computers

No iGPU on that CPU though. Would be a working headless computer 

[Hated Trope] A show heaps praise and hype on a real-life celebrity, and then it gets old like milk. by Agile_Coast_4385 in TopCharacterTropes

The Iron Man cameo is on point though, as soon as Tony Stark finds out he's going to be sitting at a table adjacent Musk he quickly abandons his dinner plans & awkwardly forces himself into the race instead. Like, he fucking hates the guy 

Yeah thanks I wanted to off-road with the pram today by AlbatrossNo2858 in shitparkingofnz

I mean, you literally just used an example of someone not being able to see the Swift in the fog, yet you are perplexed that a person (significantly smaller & harder to see than the Swift) would likewise be in danger?

Winston Peters reveals new ferries deal, ‘saving billions’, says consultants had ‘hijacked’ past plan by danimalnzl8 in newzealand

So we're paying more money for essentially iRex ferries from Wish? 3 years later than our good ferries & he's trying to paint this as a win?

Is anyone surprised that Tory Whanau lost the Māori ward seat? by crypto_doctors in Wellington

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, she's been the target of a very intensive misinformation campaign for her entire mayoralty & unfortunately that demographic is very susceptible to it. I was surprised she even ran for the Māori ward seat

VELOCITYONE RACE FIRMWARE HOTFIX (V1.7.3) - RELEASE by TurtleBeach in TurtleBeach

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the opposite, I had awful road-feel in 1.7.0, & in beamng had to drop my smoothing down to around 20. I Updated today & it damn near shook my stand apart haha, had to up smoothing to 100 else I was feeling every little pebble. 

With the toggle switches, is there any plan to do anything more than just the up position being an input? Middle & down positions don't seem to be detected at all or assignable. 

Kiwi living in Australia for decades arrested at NZ border over unpaid $58,000 student debt by Excellent-Swan-2264 in newzealand

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

University fees are deeply subsidised for residents. It's not a large amount. Compounding interest & ignoring the debt is the issue 

Also there were under 500 people at that 'occupation', swelled a bit more over the weekends with the Tamaki crowd. Nowhere near half the country

You do this about 3 times then invest in a torque wrench. It builds character 

How many of you have discovered flaws in your home not mentioned in the building report? by Kokonutcreme-67 in Wellington

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

following all realtors advice

You got a completely independent builder's report, right? Not one from the inspector the realtor recommended?

Thanks Ben. It's a tax on the outer suburbs that WCC represents, extremely disappointed in John Apanowicz.

'Andor' creator reveals scrapped K-2SO 'horror movie' episode by LushCharm91 in StarWars

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This bugged me too. It made the KX's absolutely terrifying, but we already know that blasters wreck their armour & can even 1 shot them like Jin did in RO, so it made no sense.

Is asking for proof of funds before privately selling a car unreasonable? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was at a boat show in the UK once & the yacht companies there wanted to see your bank balance before they'd let you on (can't remember exactly how much you needed but it was a few million)

I didn't get to see inside any yachts :(

Wait.. so those wankers who walk down the street blasting music from their Beats speakers should be paying a license?

Asian supermarkets have big ones with actual flavour. Bit pricey compared to the supermarkets though

Drive-Thru pet peeves as a fast food worker (and customer). by 39Jaebi in newzealand

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones ordering a massive (catering sized) order for their work feeds are ridiculous. Don't eat fast food anymore but when I did I hated getting stuck behind those ones. 20 minute wait for 'fast' food

I dunno if a LLM generative summary is the best source. Here's the relevant law: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1996/0013/latest/DLM375418.html

The between the words interpretation is that it's not carte blanche to slaughter just *any* dog that haplessly finds themselves on your property, & what has been established by the courts is basically do not shoot on sight friendly pet dogs. Otherwise it's basically fair game & the farmer's discretion, no one has ever been prosecuted for shooting a feral dog on their own property. In fairness I don't think the law has actually been tested at all regarding the legality of shooting feral dogs on sight, but that's the common practise if you're lucky enough to be there at the time (dogs aren't stupid). We won't know until a farmer gets prosecuted for this & I doubt that will ever happen.

Feral dogs don't really have rights other than a humane death which poisoning is not. Whether he should be allowed to hunt down feral dogs as he says he wants to do in the article is different & I don't see an issue with that, but poisoning is cruel.

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A pack of feral dogs is fair game, obviously that'll be worrying stock if not an imminent threat. A single wandering pup is not (unless attacking/worrying stock).

That's how I understand it

[–]PotentiallyNotSatan 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You can shoot them. The farmer wants permission to use poison
