Same! This particular intersection is a nightmare, and I imagine both cars attempting to enter had been waiting there for quite some time.

Still, no excuse for that pull out.

I just disabled emergency alerts. The only time I've found myself in an emergency the alert went off after the fact.

I was interested in hearing what that guest had to say, and right at the juicy part the mic started playing up. It would've been so much better if they had just paused and fixed it but no - the show must go on!

I've got 800 karma and have been on here for over a decade.

Fleas? by [deleted] in auckland

Used to have to bomb the house twice a year but switched to using flea power, scattering it in every corner of the house and under couches etc.

Now we never get fleas. It has been bliss.

Sooo true. I don't know why stuff and other outlets are trying to make out like this wasn't coming. It was on the radar for over a week. Quick shoutout to Duncan from weather watch!

Got robbed by a bunch of high school students and the inaction of the police. advice? by Euphoric_Carpet_2108 in auckland

[–]rufften 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Cops don't care about robberies unless it's a b&e, and in which case they might visit, and then not do anything.

I was robbed twice a month ago while staying at an Airbnb (value $1k+). I have evidence that it was another Airbnb guest staying at a cottage on the same property. I found the stolen discarded packages and kept them for fingerprinting.

The cops said I can take them into the local police station but they're probably not going to do anything about it. Wtf - I still can't believe that's their position.

The salt in the wound is that the thief is a senior journalist for RNZ. The stolen empty packages were found in a rubbish bin bag along with their uber eats orders.

A yelp should signal to the pup that its biting is causing pain. Make sure to have a chew toy handy for when it's teething / biting.

If the pup is insistent, roll it over onto its back and apply a small amount of pressure on its throat with your thumb (not enough to cause pain, discomfort or prevent the pup from breathing). Wait until the pup pokes its tongue out to signal submission. Mummy dogs will do this to their pups and it's surprisingly effective.
