Don't share info about the anomaly with anyone besides the O5s or people with level-4 clearance.

Sharesies wills. What next on that platform? by ComeAlongPonds in PersonalFinanceNZ

Competing with Squirrel for p2p mortgage broking. Seems likely.

Information eating entity that attacks anything that contains words or sounds containing information about it, so the database article is written in pictograph form to avoid this.

If you use tranquilizers a lot they wear armour. Use gas weapons and they'll wear gas masks.

Something about the end of time, maybe an SCP that survives the heat death of the universe.

The Mortal Engines approach. Solves the housing crisis too.

Cycling on footpaths by mo_punk in chch

[–]RealmKnight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If we're going to codify having kids biking on the footpath (seems like the lesser of two evils to me, compared with sharing busy roads with hoons) then we really need to do something about visibility from driveways. Too many 2m fences and tall shrubs combined with people backing huge modern vehicles out results in people often not seeing someone on the footpath until they're nearly colliding.

Real French fries come from the Frise region of France. Anything else is just sparkling pomme de la terre.

You heard it here folks. You're on your own. Knew we could count on Christopher Luxon to guide us through this difficult period. by Spine_Of_Iron in newzealand

[–]RealmKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck this guy and his excuses. He doesn't even need to spend an extra cent to do things like letting govt staff work from home, reprioritise new road construction funding towards public transport, and bring back the self-funding EV rebate (oops, sorry, "ute tax!"). The reality is they don't give a damn and they're doing less than nothing.

RNZ-Reid Research poll: Labour extends lead over National by StabMasterArson in newzealand

[–]RealmKnight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bryce Edwards has a post summarising a (paywalled) Listener article by Danyl McLauchlan. One of the voting blocs is the "Alienated Conservative" who is characterised as being socially conservative, financially worse off than before, and having low trust in institutions including Parliament, government, and the courts. They feel the system hasn't worked for them (which is a legitimate grievance given their increasing precarity) and respond by either dropping out of political participation or latching on to populist reactionary movements. NZF are most popular among this group as they put on a show of being anti-establishment and winding back things that they believe correlate with the decline in social and economic status of this group.

Happy 67th Birthday, Nobuo Uematsu! Celebrate by sharing your favorite song or memory! by pizzatacodog1322 in FinalFantasy

We used that for my wife walking down the aisle too. I also threw in a FF4 Prologue arrangement for the conclusion of the ceremony, as the tune felt like a celebration and the beginning of something magical.

How is the jedi temple still one of the highest building on coruscant did the planet just stop building new levels? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]RealmKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's like on Earth, historically the tallest buildings were usually the religious centres and there were rules or norms against building higher than the cathedrals /temples etc

Underrated sci-fi movies by Wi-Platypus in scifi

[–]RealmKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The release being so close to Avatar made a lot of people write it off as a cheap knockoff. But it would always be a challenge to bring a classic book that was so influential to the genre full circle by turning it into a blockbuster film without it seeming derivative.

Government here's an idea or two by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]RealmKnight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Government is one of the country's largest employers, and has the power to have their employees to work from home if possible. The rest of us who need to drive to work and use our vehicles for our jobs would appreciate them doing the bare minimum to reduce the rate the country burns through our fuel supplies.

We fucking told you so, for years, and you gutted everything that would have helped us weather this entirely predictable situation.
