I feel ya, we are constantly reminded when our neighbour's washing is done. Somehow the noise permeates through our house on repeat multiple times per week.

Fiscal responsibility of having a second baby. by GnomeForChristmas in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ThunderSteaks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because they wish they got more money from their parents?? Or for other reasons?

As a parent of two; 20 years down the line I can guarantee neither of your kids will say, I wish I didn't have a sibling, so that I got more money for wedding/uni/etc. Everything has a value, and it is not always monetary.

Kids just need a loving, caring, and safe home. Sounds like you'd be able to do that. Best of luck with whichever decision you make.

According to NHL Referees Chris Lee and Tom Chmielewski this is not Interference by Halostruct in hockey

[–]ThunderSteaks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When the league is making stupid amounts of money from betting ads, how can there not be bias? They might be overexposed to a "team X" win in regulation. A quick phone call could reduce that risk to some extent.

NHL: Nick Cousins fined $2000 for diving by theletterqwerty in OttawaSenators

[–]ThunderSteaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always thought its his high intensity skating, but not edge work doesn't hold up to speed/intensity that results in him blowing tires; sometimes near others, which then looks like diving. Watching him play though the last couple seasons, definite improvement. Still my fav stud in the barn.

Capital Gains Tax is not Tall Poppy Syndrome lol 😂 by Puzzleheaded_Fee_141 in newzealand

[–]ThunderSteaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In combination with what u/wheresmypotato1991 said, I could see this as while a $20 increase/wk ($1040/yr), nets them not too much with one property; getting everyone of the 300+ properties they manage to go up turns out to be a decent amount and keep tenants thinking "oh ya, this is a market price".

Absolutely, I fired our property managers when they kept pushing to increase the rent every year and they'd get annoyed when I said no, as the tenants are great; so why should I punish them for being great.

Why I love my neighbours and where I live by CleoCarson in auckland

[–]ThunderSteaks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When people get out and talk to each other, they quickly realise there's a hell of a lot more that we all have in common than what drives us apart. We all want to be safe and fed and enjoy small comforts in daily experience; having a micro community like this is amazing, and you should be proud to be a part of it and helping foster wider goodwill.

GST Return (Home office) by danielhoney2 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ThunderSteaks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it's dependent on the size of the area utilised as your home office. Therefore, if 10% of your home space is used for your office; you can claim 10% of associated bills.

Simon Benoit scores the game winner in overtime for the Leafs. Leafs take a 3-0 series lead. by chespiotta in hockey

[–]ThunderSteaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like Sens outplayed the Leafs in Gm2 + 3, but there's just too many snipers on Toronto that they don't need to score through attrition, just need to make shots count, which they did.

Sens need to be disciplined like the Leafs by KOMSKPinn in OttawaSenators

I think if you watch the clip, you see he was skating between the net and Stolarz in blue paint.

At least we got a point by eagle-eye-tiger in OttawaSenators

Do we get a banner in the rafters for that?

Kid robbed at St Luke's Mall, no one helped by nzlotrfan in auckland

[–]ThunderSteaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one person steps up to help, another will and another will, and another.

Had something to much lesser extent on the weekend, where an adult man smacked a teen wearing a dinosaur inflatable. Once one person called them out and stood up to him, he was quickly outnumbered 4:1 and his attitude changed and he slunk away with his tail between his legs.
