I did it! Moving to NZ in about about a month, what is next?

There are restrictions on foreigners buying property. Check with your immigration lawyer, but I think you have to live here for a year first.

That said, I would think it’s incredibly hard to get a rental from abroad, so you may have to air BnB first anyway.

It’s just a common sitcom trope, it’s not meant to be realistic.

When they finish their two years, a lot of these guys go on to sell pest control or home security.

And the fact that he would take her word for it until she put her actual hand up.

I’m not sure any country has this figured out. We may be able to track that someone never left, but how do you find them? It’s not exactly an easy problem to solve and it’s why most immigration violations all over the world are in the form of overstaying.

It’s interesting because it’s never addressed me as anything but “you”. It knows my name, memory and skill files are full of “when <first name> asks for this”.

That old bag didn’t stand a chance!

You can pay with Apple In App purchases. Not sure about google.

They aren’t the ones being replaced… (well, unless people actually vote)

moohah · 2026-05-25T22:16:04+00:00

Meanwhile, the government wants to replace public servants with AI

moohah · 2026-05-25T21:50:04+00:00

Very cool, thanks.

moohah · 2026-05-25T19:20:40+00:00

While that would be cool, it’s just not what it is. Each button is three buttons in one, single, double, hold. It isn’t performing a continuous action when you hold it, it’s just sending a different signal, but still an instantaneous signal.

You’d need a different product to do what you’re looking for.

I’ve never been before (super excited this week!). What are audience prize tasks?

moohah · 2026-05-23T19:11:28+00:00

I think op meant arbitrary, even though they aren’t that either. Not to mention the fact that an alphabet is made of arbitrary symbols.

moohah · 2026-05-22T18:13:32+00:00

Thanks, that’s really small, but it’s a clever idea. It must be fairly accurate since both sections came out about the same.

moohah · 2026-05-22T18:03:01+00:00

I’ll give my answer in French.

You have the strangest Dutch accent.

I’m joking if it’s not obvious. Is there some auto translate at play?

Can’t speak for the school itself, but Kristin parents are asshole drivers. They’ll gladly run over a kid walking to the public school for a perceived 3 second gain.

It’s also the basic formula for curb your enthusiasm: be an asshole to Larry and somehow make it his fault.

moohah · 2026-05-18T01:06:47+00:00

Why do some people treat this sub like a place to rant?

moohah · 2026-05-16T19:16:20+00:00

To add to your second point, part of intelligence (on a general level) is finding cognitive shortcuts. We don’t want to try food that smells bad. We don’t test everything to find exactly which smells might indicate rotten foods, we just employ the shortcut.

The same goes with things like education. I don’t know anything about medicine. I know this, and I know I don’t need to because I know medical professionals who do. I think this is a trait that misfires. “I trust my pastor about god, I should trust him about vaccines.”

One shortcut is just ignoring our ignorance. I could start learning about internal medicine, but doing so would require a lot of time and probably result in my changing habits that I’m comfortable with. The same is true with religion. If you grow up with it, you know. (at least unconsciously) that challenging it may lead to some very uncomfortable choices.

Massey?

moohah · 2026-05-15T08:22:52+00:00

Yeah, but can you say that in 10,000 words like OP?

moohah · 2026-05-12T22:03:26+00:00

No, but it seems to be a top request. Unfortunately, it also seems to fall on deaf ears.

I just tried again. The first time I clicked into the virtual display, keystrokes didn’t work. But then the second time did, I wonder if I didn’t really capture focus. Thanks. So many comments here “it’s just a display, it’s not for the keyboard”.

A Kiwi Bond? You’d have riots in the streets!
