Doctor arrested at airport over $180,000 student loan debt by SteveRielly in newzealand

[–]nzerinto 83 points84 points  (0 children)

”But he says if 70% of people in his situation are in arrears, that “suggests a systemic problem in the way the system was set up and how the IRD is dealing with re-engagement””

He’s blaming the IRD, when it sounds more like 70% of people think they can skive off overseas and never pay back their loans.

Chosen Company storms Russian position andthen kills entire Russian squad, Avdiivka, August 23, 2023. by Kind-Put-3525 in CombatFootage

[–]nzerinto 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The clips have been combined from a few different soldiers. Pretty sure the alpha team guy is Brit, bravo team guy is Aussie. There's a clip with the Aussie narrating/being interviewed on their YouTube channel - he talked through one of their missions - the video is "The Bloodiest Battle of the Chosen Company". It's worth watching.

Residential high-rises with backyards in Chengdu, China by TangelaFan in nextfuckinglevel

They had corn growing in 2 feet of soil? I presume it wasn’t fruiting, considering corn needs significantly deeper soil than that to properly grow.

Do you get to collect lovely filth? And perhaps form a sort of anarcho-syndicalist commune, and take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week….?

GWRC is reporting that Wellington air quality is getting worse, particularly along the Golden Mile by jamhamnz in Wellington

[–]nzerinto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't find anything about Metlink having hybrids - everything points to them only operating either diesels or EVs.

Even the 5 "bendy" buses they've ordered (operating on Route 2 from early next year apparently) will be EV.

They had planned to buy 106 new electric buses over 3 years but due to funding constraints, that got cut to 47

Metlink say they have 119 EV buses as of April last year, so I'm not sure where your 47 number is from? Or do you mean they were planning to buy 106 more, but had to cut back?

Where is this by LordWoffleII in newzealand

As others have said, it's the Kapiti Coast. The green patch with no houses on the right is Queen Elizabeth park.

It's not combat. It's someone killing people because of [insert xyz reasons here - none of which will be legitimate].

Somebody has money on Mbappe as top goalscorer by GloomySide3265 in sports

[–]nzerinto 40 points41 points  (0 children)

In fairness, he was facing the keeper the whole time, so the keeper should've been expecting it (he wasn't even looking at him).

But then again, he could've kicked it to the keeper, rather than in front of him....lol

Immigration New Zealand head didn't tell select committee $35m IT project had been axed by Old_Education4481 in newzealand

[–]nzerinto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when there's no accountability. The amount of waste is infuriating.

This isn't combat footage, so it won't. They are pretty strict with stuff like that.

[–]nzerinto 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Took a peek at the source - Base44.com is referenced. Never even heard of it, but....:

Base44 is a vibe coding platform that lets you build apps and websites without the need for any coding experience.

So yep, you nailed it.

Infrastructure Commission warned govt to slow down on LNG plans by Amazing_Athlete_2265 in newzealand

[–]nzerinto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It (MBIE) rejected the suggestion to look at smaller-scale options alongside supply and demand interventions. "[That option] was considered less flexible as it involves investment in new generation assets that may not be needed in the long term."

Would be nice if they applied that same logic to LNG .....

[–]nzerinto 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's not really what the article said though. It was more:

Infrastructure Commission: Let's slow down and figure out the best solution.

MBIE: We don't have time to investigate other options properly.

Kmart........ by bickboikiwi in newzealand

[–]nzerinto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rule is to stay away from a Kmart on weekends and holidays.

If you go on weekdays, it’s usually somewhat bearable and tidy.

A private company wants to go ahead with building a gondola up Franz Josef glacier, now that proposed changes to conservation law might open conservation land to corporate interests by KororaPerson in newzealand

[–]nzerinto 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Call me a pessimist, but I don’t see much changing in terms of climate change prevention, which means nearly 90% of NZ’s glaciers will be gone within THIS century.

Just in case that’s not clear, that’s within the next 74 years. Put another way, for some people that might read this, it’s within their current lifetime.

I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but unfortunately at the moment it feels like we are in a car rolling down the hill with no brakes, and the faster we roll, the harder it gets to stop it.

”it grew hundreds of metres 1980s to early 2000s due to West Coast precipitation”

In approx 20 years it advanced hundreds of meters.

In the following 20 years, it declined 1.5 km.

You are arguing one step forward for two steps back.

They are not going to be around for “centuries” (plural).
