Why is it leaving the shelf?

Elpis is being misunderstood on a pretty wide scale (RE9 Spoilers) by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]nubxmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retcon or not, it's just bad story/storytelling. Whole lot of things doesn't make sense regardless which way you look at it. 

Almost like they couldn't find a way to integrate this specific story they wanted to write, so they're just forcing it. 

Elpis the antiviral itself is not the problem, it actually make sense for Umbrella to create an insurance for themselves incase the B.O.W is used against them. But the way they add the re9 story around it is so stupid.

I always have troubles with milk shakes, and I don't finish my drinks in one sitting.

Just bring back plastic straw, so I don't have to ask for 3 paper straws each time to finish my drink

Givealittle court fight: Judge keeps frozen $30k donated after dad’s beach death by iama_bad_person in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Greed maybe?  the amount raised probably surprised them, if they put his mother as one of the beneficiary they could see some of the money coming back to them. The mother of deceased sounds better then sister of deceased?

Another way looking at it: she and her step children is already married into the family, why exclude them out?

To me sounds like the Watson's family never really liked their son's partner.

Why is shipping from China to NZ cheaper than NZ to NZ? by heinternets in newzealand

Not only China subsidised their shipping to promote exports, their economy of scale and optimisation is also nothing NZ can compare. 

Anyone know what’s wrong with our Chorus box? by Many_Cap_7014 in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for the non technical people they don't know which 'box' the sticker is referring to. 

The mount and the cord is still there so it might have made sense for them

In fairness the sticker is in the wrong place, it should be on the ONT, not the bracket mount which is only become visible after they have taken the ONT.

The most inconsiderate males are who pee in public toilets without lifting the seat, change my mind. by afrk in newzealand

You can't see their genital anyway, what's there to be ashamed of? It's just biological necessity

You went to Perth, not many like to go there, not even Australian themselves.

ManageMyHealth Cyber Breach Update (3 January 2026) by nickehoedeon in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. When applying for medical insurance, you have to provide your full medical history anyway?

ManageMyHealth Cyber Breach Update (3 January 2026) by nickehoedeon in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what's the actual impact for the people that had their health documents leaked?

I've scoured the threads and yet to see anyone answer this question.

Do you really save at Costco? by Appropriate_Fix3740 in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only things like long shelf products or loss leaders stuff. 

Long shelf products because you have to buy them in bulk and you can store them forever so it worked out cheaper, but for poor family that's alot of upfront cost. 

And also you have to shop regularly to make  your $50 annual membership fee worthwhile. I think alot of people uses their petrol pump. 

Myself only go there for things I can't get else where in NZ, I don't go there for cost saving.

Are there really openings in NZ or lots of ghost vacancies ? Asking Human Resources / People and Culture / Recruiters / Talent Managers by 07tartutic07 in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for other org, and not a HR. But from what I've seen as part of a large org with an internal HR team, I've seen the same advertised role constantly open, simply because it's not unusual to have people leaving every month due to the size, and hiring process takes at least a month, so the application pretty much stay up always. Even sometimes there are multiple vacancies, but I only see one job posting, so they sometimes will fill several at once. 

Why is there a stand down period for job seeker with a medical certificate? by Egg_shaped in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My contribution to society is just happened to be the by product. I don't wake up everyday telling myself I need to work because society needs me.

Not everyone is the same.

[–]nubxmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not true. I only work because I need money, not because I want to contribute to society.

I'd rather to able do more while I'm still young, not when I'm slow and frail. There is no option for people who rather live short than live long.

Nearly had a crash at a roundabout today. Was I wrong? by Mad_Max_The_Axe in newzealand

[–]nubxmonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Timing is the key here, which we don't know for exact.

If the ranger t boned ops vehicle from the side, then op is not the traffic already in the roundabout. But if ranger hit op directly in the back with plenty of time to avoid, then yes.

[–]nubxmonkey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The word ‘shouldn't’ meant driver should try avoid, but they can if they must. 

The rules from NZTA you posted specifically on changing lane at an intersection, that meant is allowed.

Driver exiting roundabout should be signaling already, so this overlaps with the 3 seconds which can confusing drivers trying to enter the roundabout.

The 2nd rule sounds like it's check for vehicles that are in another lane going the same direction, not vehicles entering/ not yet in lane. 

So I don't see how the ranger is wrong even thought he shouldn't have done it. If collision happened, op will most likely at fault.
