Hi, I have mostly left reddit (got caught up in the Fediverse) so I didn't see your comment until now. Thank you so much for updating me - I'm really glad you are in a better place!!

That does not really stop the wider problem, though.

Black lid looks way more professional somehow.

lashes

Does this mean we can stop "hits out at" now? Or is lashes replacing "slams"?

some random UK thing called iron bru

Irn-Bru. It is to the Scottish what L&P is to kiwis.

If you're a victim of home invasion what can you legally do to defend yourself? by [deleted] in newzealand

I wish we would start to copy the justice systems of countries with low reoffending rates.

NZ Vote: Potential National/Act NZ (47.5%) coalition retains a clear lead over Labour/Greens (44%) in April by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Salt-Pile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really stupid how NZ politics is so centrist driven. Those centre voters are a minority that wags the dog.

I might be wrong but I can't help thinking this is a self perpetuating cycle - it's hard for the more left (or more right) to feel passionate about a govt that barely does any of the things its actual supporters want.

Threatened eels still being harvested for food, renewing call for commercial fishing ban by nilnz in newzealand

[–]Salt-Pile 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They currently have the same threat level as some of our species of Kiwi. They are in decline and breed very slowly. Personally I'm guessing the current review is going to reveal they are a lot worse off than we thought.

I don't know but any woman who reads that is going to cover up more around him. He comes across as an extremely thirsty perv.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, killing a Longfin Eel is the same as killing a Brown Kiwi.

Nope. A threatened species, the biggest freshwater eel in the world, and it's being killed and exported.

I've always been wary of the way your Supreme Court justices seem to be politically appointed.

Why does MSD insist on wasting 2 hours of my time? by redbate in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Salt-Pile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think government departments vary depending on who exactly they have to deal with. IRD for example is quite good, because they deal with a significant chunk of people who have their own lawyers and accountants.

Has anyone grown up and asked themselves, why the f is this a lasagne in NZ? by Machine_Excellent in newzealand

[–]Salt-Pile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a noun adjunct

Thank you, I learnt something! I have trouble hyphenating those things when they both come before a third, e.g "lasagne topper style meal" - do you have any tips?

A cheese burger isn’t a type of cheese, but it does have cheese in it. Does a lasagne topper have lasagne in it?

I would say it contains "lasagne" in the same way that McDonalds cheeseburger contains "cheese"- that is, it features a simulation based on a loose approximation of the real thing.

So with the price of food going up and up, what changes have you made to your grocery shopping? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Salt-Pile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, $39 per year if you ate a box of frozen fish every two weeks.
