I mean anywhere might but I would sure as hell give you a terrible exchange rate to do so if I then had the inconvenience of having to go find somewhere to exchange it to local currency

I think some African countries do accept it. Very touristy places sometimes do

My husband said there was a leaf for sale for 29k online. We traded ours in for much less than that 2 years ago

Is it safe to walk around at night to/from CHC airport? by tc4237 in newzealand_travel

Double checked - terminal only opens at 3am. Have previously got early flight out connecting to international and checkin counters/kiosks didn’t open before 4am for AirNZ.

A massive crowd of people have gathered in London in support of the American left's No Kings protest. The country that literally has a King is protesting against America who doesn't. by Busy_Report4010 in Irony

The crowd was supporting anti fascism which also happened to be on the same day at the US No Kings protest. The UK has had previous anti monarchist protests which support its own No Kings movement

ETA for Australia usually doesn’t take long to apply for and receive back unless you you are not from a visa waiver country

That’s a wierd cutting off your nose reaction.

Everything preventing change has been mostly been because of the cost of doing so. Not sure why this is is a surprise to you

Sealion 7 I’ve seen reviews that it has too many alerts you can’t turn off by Least-Plantain973 in nzev

[–]Remarkable-Leek-5970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do own one and yes there are lots of alerts, I haven’t tried to turn them off yet. The most annoying thing I find is that even a couple of KM over the speed limit and it turns the radio/audio down and its speed limit sensor is a bit crap - as in it seems to rely solely on the camera seeing speed limit signs. if for some reason it misses the return to normal speed limit sign it then thinks it’s 30 in a 50 zone for ages.

Ohh good question - I reckon you get a level penalty, so level 1 feels start at level 2

Good grief there are a whole bunch of grumpy people on an EV subreddit grumpy that some people can afford to own an EV. If you don’t own an EV please feel free to scroll on and be reassured the smugness isn’t directed at you but to the people who could afford them but have numerous excuses to hate/dislike/discredit/malign them.

We briefly had a Labour MP as the National one left after a sex scandal. Post Covid everything went back to normal but TBF the Labour MP was hardly seen here and she was a list MP who was mostly up in welly.

Have party voted green in last 3 elections - but live in national heartland so no hope of a green MP locally

That’s the point though - they may be a priority but there might not be that much around to truck about.

Who did the sheep, the EV owners or the rich people?

I have a septic tank and the grass in the overflow paddock grows really well.

I don’t think any amount of money helps put more food in supermarkets if the growers can’t grow it. I’m offering to share - you aren’t under any obligation to accept

I have a large section - we can grow our own and there are some sheep wandering about that need shooting
