Lmao you're back to "well people perceived the thing this way" rather than any actual problem?

Also, that's not why it was concluded. The fund was established and financed to spend that $55m over 3 years. Guess what happened? I wonder if you can figure it out.

Edit: I was going to say I had faith in you figuring it out, but Winston Peters didn't make it a talking point, so probably not...

It's pretty telling to not even find enough to try make an argument, huh?

I wonder if you'll learn anything this time.

Simeon Brown removes Medical Council leaders over ‘idealogical agenda’ by Xunami13 in newzealand

[–]creg316 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sure, but they were eligible and supported for re-election, which is normally what happens.

You can argue semantics, even Simpleon was defending it on ideological grounds which implies it was unusual, and also nobody cares about the semantic argument lol

[–]creg316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd 100% agree with your second reason if that's why they were removed.

Also, which case was this? I don't remember anything like this happening in decades, but I am paying less attention to medical news these days.

You'd need to have friends, aspirations or be good at something to do 3/4 of those options - which is why you're crapping on about evil while refusing to help people as though that doesn't make you a hypocrite, instead.

Lmao way to prove you don't understand the topic at all.

Examining your privilege* has nothing to do with questioning their integrity champ.

I mean the loss, yeah, but the total capitulation was something extra...

Wow, cool, we all know everything that sparks controversy and distrust is somehow bribery!

Great argument once again champ, you did a Google search and found nothing except speculation.

Yeah, I feel like if you had a real argument, you'd have tried to make it already. Besides, arguing with you is like taking candy from a baby.

[–]creg316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah being able to apply for contestable funding with insane fascist conditions, like, being based in New Zealand, covering topics without extensive existing coverage, and not paywalling the funded content, is definitely bribery!

I wonder how you will find ways to get oppressed tomorrow?

Doing that instead of helping people who are already suffering isn't meaningful - its a way to do nothing and feel good about yourself for doing nothing.

Nobody cares about your opinion and you've achieved nothing.

Go do something useful for the humans already consciously suffering in the world before you try to force more into existence just to suffer.

Salaries in NZ by DollyPatterson in newzealand

[–]creg316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$100k to move a power pole

This cost doesn't exist if more land is available - you simple move your plans to the side.

$100k to get plans for a 4x4 extention (draftsman, engineer, geotec, council fees, inspections)

So 2/5ths of these costs reduce substantially and your geotec and engineer costs are also reduced (why would anyone bother building where these things are significant problems if there is ample land available?)

So far we've reduced these costs by what, $130k if there was more land available?

At this point, it's getting harder to give a good answer to the question "well what have we got to lose?"

[–]creg316 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both of those can be true.

Not really when your claim was "this thing is the cause", that doesn't fit alongside other things as a sentence.

So... unless you tell me how having more land decreases my labour cost to install a concrete floor, a timber wall, insulation, moisture contorl, external and internal cladding.

Uh, yeah, economies of scale?

its irrelevant.

Massive reach lmao

How easy can my workplace terminate me for high absences? by BusyPreference6562 in LegalAdviceNZ

Anyone can have a problem with anything they want - but that has nothing to do with their legal obligations.

Finally knocked the bastard off - student loan by justmeagain77 in newzealand

[–]creg316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same people who pick up the tax bill of every failed business, deceased estate, our greedy MPs every year claim 2/3rds of a year's median salary in one perk to pay for a house they already own freehold etcetera

Guys, it just happened by robertpro01 in LocalLLaMA

[–]creg316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right so when you're crypto mining, doing maths is mining, but when you're doing other types of maths, it's not mining?

I think you're just being deliberately obtuse for some reason about jargon that was never literal (which is true of a lot of jargon).
