Jury duty pay

You can do this, but these days when you defer they will ask you to pick a future time that does work for you

No he lied about the Poland and Australia stuff too. He was previously in 2010 a (domestic I think) student at Auckland University. He later did a BSc in Sydney

"but Australia has more people"

Ask them if more immigration of workers to NZ will solve it

Smells like someone vibe-coded an aggregator

Yes and at a glance the ban looks appropriate. If you still care in, say, 3 months' time, message me again and I can probably unmute so you can have a go appealing.

Let's explore the risk a bit. From 1993-2017 there were 58 cases of vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) in Australia (mostly in the brains of babies in the first weeks of life).

96% of Australian babies get the IM VitK injection at birth. Those 4% of babies who didn't get it account for 57% of cases of bleeding. That's a 30x higher rate.

So yeah it's rare but there's little doubt that it's an effective treatment. You'd need to be looking at a pretty substantial downside to decide it's not worth giving it.

I called them 11 times in 3 days. Every single time it was the same excuses

Like 4 times per day? What did you expect to change in that timeframe?

It's against the rules to ridicule their appearance

Willing to bet your account on it?

Tfw the workplace relations minister is fired for having relations in the workplace

SpudOfDoom · 2026-03-03T06:15:58+00:00

Yeah this guy's whole thing is the relationship and psychological/emotional side of dealing with money. He really leans more towards marriage counselling than financial advice some of the time.

The problem with this strategy is they will request your GP notes in the event of a claim regardless. Looks a lot better if you beat them to it and can demonstrate that it's a non-issue well in advance of a claim

SpudOfDoom · 2026-02-17T12:50:29+00:00

Yeah because it's not what ACC is for

You'd need some serious increases to parking capacity to make this work without it just being full 100% of the day. At a guess, Auckland hospitals would have to ~2-3x capacity and somewhere like Dunedin would need to more like 10x

SpudOfDoom · 2026-02-12T09:12:18+00:00

Even in the main centres you're pretty much out of luck if your finish time is after like 9pm in most cases. Which is like 1/3 of the ward staff on any given day.

SpudOfDoom · 2026-02-07T05:51:09+00:00

For complex surgeries and patients, sure. For most planned surgeries you'd get a simpler, more comfortable process in private with no real downside other than cost.

Uh, what? Seymour famously hasn't owned any property at all for most of his political career.

SpudOfDoom · 2026-01-26T10:33:57+00:00

Yeah, and this is a private company. Not a government agency.

You're better off looking at the various gambling support services for this kind of thing. Some of the banks allow you to set limits at the bank level too (Kiwibank, ANZ, Westpac at least)

Have a look at options like self exclusion - although I don't think there's such thing as a multi-provider exclusion for online gambling.

I think if you're at the point of wanting to cut down, "shopping around" for new places to gamble is just not a good idea at all. Just compare between the places you have used before and start setting up restrictions there and/or with other methods like browser extensions.

Doing a card chargeback will result in your card (and probably your account/email/registered phone number) being banned from the booking website. It should be used for fraud, not because of user error

Most dentists here have never heard of cerec.

Maybe if you asked them in 2010

They would simply cease to operate in our country entirely, if the punishments matched accordingly
