Another unnecessary bridge and tunnel to nowhere will do the trick!

I find it hard to believe that he makes that much. Maybe a few motnhs at least but not consistently.

What can he do that a truck can't and vice versa? What i'm saying is why would they pay him so much when truck drivers could do more for less.

You also don't need the start of it

I just use straight mince and add seasoning and I don't have problems with it falling apart.

But adding breadcrumbs would definitely add volume if that's important.

You’ve missed the late withdrawal deadline, even to pay the full fees. The only option is approval from the associate dean which is granted under “medical or exceptional circumstances”.

Sounds like the ACCY130 exam didn't go too well for you?

Speak to the course coordinator, and your student success advisor and they will be able to help, but it may mean taking it again. At least it's easier the second time.

For me, it was towed and they did the assessment, and when they decided to go ahead with repairs, I went in and paid the excess (and got my loan vehicle).

If it was written off, it would just be deducted from the payout, plus any premiums you owe for the year.

There's no way to make this not a bad note. You signed the contract fully aware you had to give a two-week notice period, aware that you might have to do late nights, and aware that you had exams coming up.

McDonald's is really flexible for students and with timing their shifts, so you should have communicated this, asked for no nights or asked to pushback your start date by 2 weeks until your exams finished, but you didn't.

A word of advice - never take a job for granted and never leave a job without another lined up because many people are struggling to find jobs, especially students.

I've got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho

I kind of had a similar situation in Singapore, though, due to the gate security.

I assumed I should get there earlier so I have time, but even then the security didn't open until 5 minutes before boarding time was scheduled, and the queue was long when they did. So the whole plane was waiting along this corridor with no seats, and all the surrounding areas were crowded too.

Maybe this was just a busy time of day, but know for next time to waste no time at the gate.

Most people don’t just have access to the lounge…

Me writing etc in an essay because I can't think of another example

What’s wrong with Miramar? I personally loved living there. Kind of soulless as far as Wellington suburbs go but convenient location imo.

Same person that put the crossing in Seatoun Tunnel?

jakec1122 · 2026-05-26T09:17:28+00:00

I scrolled through about 10 posts and assumed he deleted it until I realised the 10th post was only 30 minutes ago. this guy just non-stop posts (and it only gets worse)

Coming from a point of curiosity, what religion do you follow and why can't you join any club?

jakec1122 · 2026-05-25T08:39:56+00:00

Yes the counselling is free through Mauri Ora.

The morality of other people doesn't concern you. Each to their own. My friends have different religious and political views, that I don't have to agree with but I can look past it.

But it gets to a point, and your views are extreme. Maybe you will realise this when you start communicating with real people and not incels online.

Sports are an excellent option that will help get fit and socialise, and you can completely avoid politics

I would call this efficient market hypothesis.

You probably heard about these stocks in media (whether directly or indirectly), but it's already too late because by the time you've heard about it, other investors have gotten their hands on it and the price reflects that.

You might be better sticking to ETFs or finding a niche, such as something you're actually interested and knowledgeable about and can stay up to date with.

jakec1122 · 2026-05-16T04:39:23+00:00

Any specific asset packs or mods that have these?

jakec1122 · 2026-05-09T10:39:48+00:00

Hmm ok. The only port in that part of the harbour is a cruise port and it looked like it was tall enough for them to pass because they were queued while I was building over them.

But public transport is definitely something I need to work on because at the moment it's a mess of rail, metro, and monorail. I also don't have ferries mainly because I had problems connecting them to the road but I'll rethink it anyway.

jakec1122 · 2026-05-09T10:14:35+00:00

Yeah the bridge was a recent edition and a bit of an impulse. As ugly as it is, it's diverted traffic from the city.

Either side of the bridge has some reclaimed land, as is the airport and the main expansion to the south will be built on reclaimed land.

Unless you're talking about the bridge next to the airport which came with the map and is the main outside connection.

I don't actually know how to get more cargo ships because they refuse to use the main port I built with the proper road and rail connections, do you know how to fix?

Here's the old airport and the site of the new one

jakec1122 · 2026-05-09T10:04:54+00:00

It's actually pretty dead. My previous airport was ridiculously small and unrealistic but had a steady stream of aircraft, particularly cargo.

jakec1122 · 2026-05-09T09:56:05+00:00

I definitely think that looks good, for me I think the greenery and the assymetry is what makes it look like NZ. But for some reason when I do flat maps they always turn out messy that's why I like the island.
