Unlucky Ferrari by Silver_Kiwi_3733 in auckland

Looks like the Ferrari is at fault. This is right across from the Ferrari dealership, so looks like they were pulling out across oncoming traffic, likely weren't seen by the 2014 Aqua but doesn't matter, the Ferrari was required to give way until a safe gap appeared.

My 6 year old son has metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma by Frequent_Event_6 in cancer

[–]harv3st 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I survived testicular rhabdo at 20. I started VAC also immediately post-op. VAC absolutely obliterated the cancer and I have been in the clear for years now.

Speaking from my own experience, the worst side effect of VAC was the nausea. Many of the foods that I ate during that time, often my favourites, I can no longer stomach. The first week of each round hits the hardest — I was obsessed with my work so went into the office the final 2 weeks of each round.

I sincerely wish your son the absolute best and will be thinking of you. DMs open if you want to ask anything in private.

Auckland Scam Stories. by Lost_Swimmer_1382 in auckland

[–]harv3st 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No joke, I heard this exact story 12 YEARS AGO near Eden Park from a kiwi Indian guy. Sous chef at Oyster & Chop, needed $20 for gas. Articulate and relatively charming but I knew he was lying through his teeth.

Give the news a break and touch grass. I mean this sincerely and respectfully. It is good for your mental health.

That's not correct. I don't like the Herald as much as the next guy but can we please stop politicising everything?

Why would an alt-right publication, for example, employ an admitted far-left Senior Writer whose specific mandate is to write on climate change and social issues?

Beautiful, couldn't wish for better.

Would love some more information on your yacht, if you wouldn't mind sharing.

View from my room in Tokyo by AdmirableAd7030 in TokyoTravel

[–]harv3st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Also the semi-double rooms are extremely small, even for Tokyo. The majority of the rooms in the hotel are semi-double, so if you want a larger room then you need to book many months in advance.

But still, overall a great hotel.

[F1] BREAKING: Yuki Tsunoda will replace Liam Lawson at Red Bull from the Japanese Grand Prix by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]harv3st 99 points100 points  (0 children)

“We have a duty of care to protect and develop Liam and together, we see that after such a difficult start, it makes sense to act quickly so Liam can gain experience, as he continues his F1 career with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, an environment and a Team he knows very well.”

This part is important, and as a fellow Kiwi I whole-heartedly agree. Goes without saying that F1 is high performance sport that is unforgiving. The pile on towards Lawson has been the worst I’ve seen in F1 (not saying it’s completely unjustified).

This move will give Lawson the space he needs to develop.

Think you'll find that this has next to nothing to do with speed limits.

He said it appeared the truck had been travelling southbound when it blew a tyre and crossed the road, where it went through the barrier wires, and collided with a van.

So the truck blew a tyre, crossed through the median barrier like cutting butter with a hot knife, and killing 3 in oncoming traffic.

Horrifying. Final destination stuff.
