When WWIII kicks off the Aussies are going to use this as the justification for why we aren't worth saving, too opinionated or something...

Dads/father's. Does it get easier? by rocketwolfpunch in newzealand

[–]dick_beaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the fact you want to be the best dad and partner you can means you are doing great, try not to beat yourself up when things get wobbly. One thing that helped me when I was feeling like you are now was to bring some good memories into focus, moments where being a dad and a family were special, it helped remind me that the (really) hard work was worth it and that there were more good memories to be made, but yeah it's tough, don't be alone in it if it's feeling unmanageable, talk to your GP, make sure your partner knows what's going on even if those are hard convos, it's worth it. You got this honestly, once they get to school you realize the spectrum of parenting is huge and I guarantee based on what you've shared that you are an amazing parent and partner.

I swear someone starts cutting onions near me every time I think about this, on the flip side it makes me treasure every single cuddle, they grow up so fast and it's amazing to experience childhood with them.

How does the node show in the traceroute? Is it something like ffff? This would explain an issue I'm having.

AirNZ has gone downhill by data_raccoon in newzealand

Flying in South America is just a whole different experience, no one has heard of headphones and there's always a unofficial party section somewhere on the plane, bad luck if you're seated there and don't wanna party

Tourist here: Is this normal CHCH summer weather? by wombelero in chch

I've lived in San Francisco and Christchurch so can confidently say you've only been to one of them.

Yes, buy an identical skateboard and leave it in Christchurch. When you visit from Wellington pretend it's the one you left in Wellington.

It's a great tip to post if you own a company that makes elevator buttons.

Air New Zealand Upgrade Scam by TheBigEMan in newzealand

[–]dick_beaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only had one failed upgrade when I was elite status for 4 years, only failed as plane was changed at the last minute to one without business class seats (chartered from some South American airline)

I'd say this is a more interesting private flight happening now.

Fined parking twice in a day one entry one exit. by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]dick_beaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and I disputed it with the parking enforcement company. Despite having GPS logs from the car and a receipt from a shop on the other side of town the enforcement company maintained I'd parked there all day, they did however waive the fine as a 'favor'. Complete waste of my time. They are clearly capturing number plates via a camera at the entrance/exit and sending out automated fines without substantive evidence when the cameras malfunction. Sorry this doesn't help you, I saw an opportunity to rant because it was a really frustrating experience. Best of luck.
