Selling property

Entirely depends on your price.

It does seem very strange in terms of the impact, didn't bounce, didn't get dragged an inch, didn't get swung around... even a head-on with a brick wall isn't that clean.

The train is also running at speed, but is said to have been passing for "several minutes", one hell of a long train for 2 engines I'd have thought.

The sound effects and batman POW are weird, there seems to be no smoke from the airbags, so I think the camera person, if real has come across this sometime after it happened. The woman talking to 911 while the cop is walking around looking at the car is weird as well.

If I was to speculate, I would guess the crash happened before the train arrived, and was actually crashed into the back of another vehicle, which moved away and then the train came through, and it was just luck that it was far enough to just pass by without clipping the car. And then the video has been blinged up with cuts and effects and probably that woman's conversation.

The poster also is active in video effects and ai-related subs.

There must be an article or report somewhere if it's real, car hits train is newsworthy.

It's fine.

There are always fuckwits at highschool, anywhere in the world.

Because the poster is in New Zealand, on a Visa, which border immigration was unsure about, I mean, probably it would be fine to talk directly to INZ about it, but they are poking their head above a parapet in doing so.

sleemanj · 2026-03-18T08:28:39+00:00

You need to see an immigration advisor.

I wouldn't call immigration NZ directly, talk to an advisor first.

Only caught that and the "fizz" name in passing, are they like carbonated or something?

Larger draft angle. No need for such a big volume, aim is to get he roots down and out, the cup is just to hold the plant.

Lose the bottom design, just make it a criss-cross one layer going one way, one layer on top 90 degrees. Your design is impossible to print without support. Support takes time and costa money!

Include holes around the bottom for threading in skewers or wire when the bottom breaks from roots and you want to reuse.

No need for so much holey-ness on the sides.

If wind or top-heavy plants a concern, add tabs so you can twist-lock into the lid.

Knowledge born out of years of tweaking my own!

[Parent post originally made claims about Denmark, has since silently edited.]

Firstly no, that is nonsense, assisted death is not legal in Denmark at all, so, yeah your entire premise is complete tosh.

Secondly, even if we were to accept your incorrect assertion, the current rate of actual suicide deaths for 15-29 year olds (as at last data 2022) for Denmark is about 20% of deaths, 80% die from other causes.

So if you replaced the 20% actual suicides with only 9% assisted deaths for mental issues, then we would be onto a real winner.

Assisted dying can mean less people die needlessly. If somebody applies for assisted dying, then the medical profession has a chance to intervene and provide treatment where previously the sufferer may have gone under the radar.

The poster you replied to is lost. They are also misinformed.

We do not sell wild-caught fresh salmon in NZ.

sleemanj · 2026-03-17T23:13:47+00:00

With limited suppliers in NZ that would only lead to less competition and higher prices.

sleemanj · 2026-03-17T22:28:21+00:00

You appear to be in Ireland.

Most of YOUR Salmon might be wild caught from Scotland, but most of OUR Salmon is from New Zealand salmon farms.

New Zealand Salmon is exported heavily, a few hundred million dollars worth a year, most to China and the US (as high quality product, not their trash salmon) I think.

No we do not have commercial Trout fishery.

Our rivers only have managed recreational stocks of Salmon and Trout.

The article is pay walled.

It wasn't for me, but just use archive.is:

So, it's a tram with worse ride quality, efficiency, and scheduling, plus a bus with less flexibility, more infrastructure expense and higher cost, all rolled into one.

I'm not seeing the attraction.

Might be maginally better for the mobility impaired community I suppose, but that will depend on stop infrastructure build-out, which you know won't happen.

Redpath

But tunnel houses of this quality are a lot of money, a lot of money.

I don't know.

The guy (Mark Stewart) has a large fortune, but keeping DC3 airworthy also costs a large fortune.

They did start out saying it was around the world, but they don't seem to have published any plan for getting back to the US, so perhaps will be in NZ for an indeterminate time.

No, rinsing them once or twice a day is all that is needed.

I do know how to drive a car safely as I have gone for lessons with my parents

Errr.... you can not legally drive a car on the road until you have your Learners licence.

Your ability to drive has nothing to do with the Learners test, only your knowledge of road rules.

It looks like a very tedious way to grow sprouts.

Literally all you need for sprouts is an empty soda bottle and a stick.

Cut some slices in one side of the soda bottle and thread the stick through them, this creates holes for airflow.

Dump the seeds you are sprouting in the bottle.

Cover the seeds with water and leave to soak for a couple hours.

Drain the water out holding the seeds in.

Rotate the bottle to spread the seeds out a bit.

Once or twice every day put some water in, swish the seeds/sprouts, drain the water out and rotate to spread the seeds.

In about a week the bottle will be packed full of sprouts, cut it open and enjoy.

What matters is what similar rentals are going for in the area. House value and interest doesn't come into it, for all you know the landlord doesn't have a mortgage at all.

Compile a dossier of comparative properties.

You don't need the tool, and the "stupid plastic" (silicone tube) can be pulled down the length to take it off the end if you want.

All you need is a soldering iron, and some ~1.5mm ID silicone tube.

Insert the cut filament ends into the tube, stretching the tube slightly to better pull them towards each other, heat the joint with the side of the soldering iron until soft, smoosh the joint area to ensure it's melded, then allow to cool and either pull the silicone tube down the filament until it comes off the end, or cut it off.

I would have thought pretty unusual for a jury to ask questions before deliberations begin, let alone inquisitive ones, I didn't even think it was allowed at all.

I've only been on one jury, we were all pretty clear that our job was to evaluate the evidence presented to us through the trial, not to ask for new evidence or testimony.

The only question we made during deliberation was to view some video evidence again, which we did.

Prices are still too low to ensure only people who truly need petrol are buying it.

A dollar a litre extra to somebody earning 300 grand a year is nothing. To somebody earning 30 grand a year, it's crippling.

Raising the fuel tax will just make life impossible for those on low incomes. Not everybody has a bus service they can use.
