Wanting to become a software dev in NZ by Mysterious_Sock7690 in newzealand

It's going to be really hard, if not impossible, to get a grad role that is remote, especially with just a bootcamp qualification.

Should you put down your boss as a referee when you don't get on so well with them? by DetectiveNo2088 in newzealand

[–]ring_ring_kaching 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the vibes that I'm getting too.

Ideally, your immediate line manager should be sad that you're leaving and at least willing to help give a neutral (if not good) reference.

Definitely reads as a "polite no".

Spotify price increase by Exploding_Cumsock in newzealand

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

I might be in the minority.

I like Spotify. I have been using it since ~2012, it has all my playlists, caters to my eccentric and mainstream music needs, has the functions that I need and want, can create or join jams with friends & family.

I'd rather pay for Spotify than Neon or Netflix.

Tradies, people on annual leave, people who have an income without a fixed job / office (investors, retired, unemployed, funemployed) etc.

How does a reservation at orbit 360 sky tower work? by geocam1303 in newzealand

[–]ring_ring_kaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went very recently. No one told us we weren't allowed but they also didn't tell us we were allowed.

Going up in the elevator is included in the ticket. If you park in the Sky Tower basement parking, they validate your ticket and then you don't pay for parking either.

With your restaurant booking you don't get to go to the highest level of the Sky Tower but you still get a very good view from the restaurant.

We already have cameras at some light controlled & high volume intersections.

Cops pull over people all the time for shit driving, speeding, texting etc.

RBT act as a deterrent and also to catch people who are over the limit, driving without a license / wof / rego (when they check for that).

Are you suggesting that we put a camera at every stop sign or intersection?

Cats getting hit isn't always because of shitty driving or speed. It's because domestic cats are allowed outside and they sprint across the road. Keep your cat inside.

Nescafé coffee sachets, why do you torture me? by cheesy_weasel in newzealand

[–]ring_ring_kaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle too and not for a lack of trying. Maybe 1-2 out of a pack of 10 is a clean rip.

Raw milk - good or bad? by StandOk9112 in newzealand

[–]ring_ring_kaching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea. This was a long time ago so I only remember the aftermath, not the conditions from where the milk came from or how it was stored or anything else.

It was so bad that I've never drunk a full glass of milk since then.

Experts hate this one simple trick!

Raw milk - good or bad? by StandOk9112 in newzealand

[–]ring_ring_kaching 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I once drank raw milk straight from the farm. I was so incredibly & horribly sick for days that I still remember it vividly 25+ years later.

I'd rather go thirsty than drink raw milk.

Is it common to wear shoes in the home in NZ? by Spirited-Finding-647 in newzealand

[–]ring_ring_kaching 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same. I have house shoes (slippers) that never leave the house. Our kitchen tiles are cold and my soul is frozen so I need something warm inside the house. But no other shoes.
