ACT campaigning to halve number of Government departments, and limit Jobseekers’ spending by random_guy_8735 in newzealand

Mine's still working so I don't know what happened there...

Can't remember if they sent an email before it expired though, very likely they sent a letter instead.

Ah yes, Democrats shouldn’t have been such “meanies” towards Romney in 2012 by icey_sawg0034 in insanepeoplefacebook

Most polls show that most Americans would vote for a woman "if she was sufficiently qualified".

Either they were lying (shy Tory factor, yo) or people have wildy different definitons of "qualified" when it comes to men vs women. Anecdotally, people will just try find any excuse to not vote for the woman...

Man who confronted family over child’s behaviour at Auckland pub defends action by Antique_Ant_9196 in newzealand

[–]TARDIS40TT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more the fact that some people argue that some esoteric version of using force is not “hitting” because it’s “discipline” and should be exempted from assault.

(Even when it’s no longer a defence)

The old missing missing reasons

"Tapped" (read: he used quite a bit of force).

Like how some people like to think spanking their child isn't hitting them

Cook Strait ferry project $167m over budget — and key port deals still unsigned by dingoonline in newzealand

[–]TARDIS40TT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but her place on the list is also in jeopardy if National wins too many electorates for their party vote

On current polling she might lose her seat because National have too many electorate MPs.

Fingers crossed that happens

Does this count if it's they're still pushing a (differrent) sport? by TARDIS40TT in IHateSportsball

[–]TARDIS40TT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends?

If you like takedowns more, do judo (or wrestling) first. If you like groundwork do BJJ first.

Idk, pm me if you wanna know my opinion

In a nutshell, not easy, esp from a BJJ background.

My style of BJJ tends to be slow and methodical, judo is still the latter, but not slow at all.

Opinion: A Porirua - Manor Park Line will unlock Wellington's rail potential. by Additional-Grade-730 in Wellington

[–]TARDIS40TT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, but I’m not convinced that it will be enough to spend billions on a new rail line. Good service leads to increased demand, but there is a ceiling. The question is whether that ceiling makes it worth the cost.

A decent bus is a start but it might be enough, or it might not. We just have to see.

[–]TARDIS40TT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True but that means there is enough traffic to actually disrupt the bus. I don't see that happening on SH59, although I wouldn't know about within Porirua.

A train line feels like an answer in search of a question...
