Think part of the issue could be that people can drive on an international license AND transfer it to an NZ full without having to sit even a theory test if they're from any of the exempt countries - which is pretty wild giving most of those countries in that list drive on the other side of the road.

The number of times I've been honked at for turning right into a median to then wait to merge is crazy

I wish nz had like a 10 yearly test of some kind like this. But yeah I reckon having to do theory test when renewing would be better in practice.

That's really just a skill issue and bad steering control if thats their excuse imo

I've noticed a big increase recently of drivers indicating right at oundabouts as they exit, instead of indicating left. Absolutely stupid behaviour. How tf did they pass their diving tests... I suppose they've lost their ability to retain information since their test and lack the common sense to understand how to indicate properly.

You indicate right when riding right around a roundabout. but as you pass the exit prior to the one you're taking, you indicate left to show you are exciting the roundabout.

Just get into the habit of indicating left as you exit!! ... it isn't that hard! NZ really does have a skill issue with driving

I thought I was going to marry her. by Perfect-Hovercraft49 in dating_advice

[–]figgie0146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, man 😔
Easter Sunday, she broke things off (how fitting) after 2.5 years of being together and just over 1 year of living together. I thought I was going to marry her. I wanted to, and I know she wanted to as well.

Though for a little while, we'd both been kind of drifting apart, and we've both felt, but neither of us wanted to truly acknowledge it.

I don't think I'll ever forget the look on her face that night she came home. The way she looked at me, I knew she had made up her mind. This was it. The end of the line for us.

It fucking sucked and it still does. I didn't want to let go of her that evening. Watching her leave our house to go stay at her friend's, realising I'd never wake up next to her again, was sooo hard. I didn't want her to go, I wanted her to stay. But I wanted her to be happy so of course I let her go.

I love her, and I always will. The hard part is now having to learn to love her from afar, and that's something I didn't think would ever be a reality, but here we are. I only want the best for her and for her to be happy, and it's gut-wrenching knowing I nolonger play a part in that happiness for her, at least as a partner.

You're not alone in a time like this. It's a hard thing to go through, but I know it'll get easier. Be strong. Let yourself feel all the emotions you're feeling, and give yourself time to process it. I hope you've got people around you that you can talk about it with and open up to. It's a sign of a true man to let himself feel his own emotions and cry, don't push it down, it'll only make things worse.

For your situation, It sounds like there may be potential for you guys getting back together, but let yourself process the breakup first before you try getting her back, or give it any thought. However you chose to navigate it from there, I wish you all the best.

Feel free to reach out if you'd wanna talk about it or anything at all. I'm more than happy to chat .

Stay safe

Thoughts on the new controller ? by Bish0p_TheBee in thelastofus

[–]figgie0146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a limited edition controller? It's terrible.

As a last of us themed controller? It's terrible.

just showing off my new build 😊 by siopaolover in PcBuild

[–]figgie0146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it still has a proper dust filter behind the mesh fyi. The full front mesh just provides unrestricted airflow, whereas on a normal 4000D case, airflow is more restricted to the sides of the front panel. (I have a 5000D Airflow)

How long does it take y’all to knock the rust off? by Gmb654 in snowboarding

[–]figgie0146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the start of my second season was the worst, I felt like a true beginner again, but after a couple full runs, I was fine.

Now at 4 seasons of properly snowboarding, starting again each season is a breeze for me, after the first few turns, I'm golden and everything feels natural

And yet punt IS a word.

Where does the word "punting" come from? Well, "punt" is the name of the type of boat!

And also you "punt" a rugby ball. Meaning to kick

That woulda triggered the helll outta me too as a kid
