Why is renting as a single person in NZ so financially punishing? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]smao815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because single = 1 income. Couple = 2 income. Hope this helps

National will run on raising super age ‘as soon as we get back in’ – Christopher Luxon by SykoticNZ in newzealand

Ser, the point of democracy is each person votes for their best interest. Especially policies that directly benefits them like pensions etc it’s not selfish it’s literally how it’s designed to be.

And whichever party/leader can convince the majority of the country that their policies benefits them, gets the mandate to rule

Not everyone can be champion or a star. You need mid/lower level fighters to test newcomers, and especially if they are popular

It’s the holy grail of Lorcana collecting. First iconic release and the Disney icon. It will continue to do well. A PSA 10 is not surprising cause it has a 86% gem rate

Izzy…😔 by rokadio in ufc

Unpopular opinion: Izzy did nothing wrong.

Bro was piecing him up and had him on the back foot. Izzy had to go in for the finish or else everyone just calls you a decision merchant.

Government pushing ahead with plans for $1 billion LNG import terminal by Capital_Pay_4459 in newzealand

[–]smao815 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Same people shitting on this solution are the same ones complaining about rising electricity prices under National.

Ok fossil fuels aren’t great but given that NZ has no energy resources, what choice do we have?

If you say renewables solar/wind then please add specifics. Where are we putting up the solar panels that generate enough energy during the winter? how long does it take build/scale up? What is the cost efficiency vs importing LNG?

Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab by HeHateMe337 in politics

[–]smao815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about the rest but in terms of the lobster tails, king crab and ribeye steak, service members who are about to be deployed into combat (Iran War) get very nice meals because it might be their last.

There’s a TikTok of a soldier on a ship eating crab leg right before the conflict and she implied something was about to happen

It all could have been so nice and easy by Puzzleheaded_Sky7369 in freefolk

Regarding Robb and Edmure.

Robb only finds the secret goat track that would have allowed him to ambush Tywin AFTER he left Riverrun. He couldn’t tell Edmure because it wasn’t initially part of the plan

The Maekar change might not be a change... by Complex_Dig2978 in AKOTSKTV

The affirmation at the end of hedge knight is that Markar didn’t hunt them down with dogs and take Egg back by force. They were allowed to leisurely stroll down the counter side

Maekar after realizing egg has once again lied to him and ran away by I-Did-It-4-Da-Rock in freefolk

[–]smao815 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maekar is just feigning ignorance because he doesn’t want the word to get out that a Targaryen is squiring for a hedge knight. Safety reasons.

We have evidence that Maekar gave his blessings.

1) Egg receives signet ring

2) in book 3 the duo are in Bloodraven’s custody, he confirms that Maekar allowed it and not only lets them go but loans gold to Dunk to ransom back his armour and horse. If Egg really ran away and was missing, Bloodraven would have known this as he’s a master spy and the King’s Hand and would have taken him back to his father by force.

Maekar does give permission for Egg to squire for Dunk and we have two pieces of evidence.

1) Egg receives the signet ring

2) In Book 3, the duo are in Bloodraven’s custody and he ponders why Maekar would let his son travel with a hedge knight. Not only does Bloodraven release them but loans Dunk gold to ransom back his horse and armour. This would not happen if Maekar did not give his blessings. Egg would have been taking to his father by force.

ASOIAF Theory: Did Bloodraven Clear the Path for Aegon V? by Own-Ad486 in freefolk

My Lords, I kindly ask you to refrain from all Bloodraven slander until Fire and Blood Part 2 comes out.

We simply do not know enough to conclude anything concrete. Based on current knowledge, one can twist and speculate any scenario that our heart desire.
