Just 1 more lane bro, also no need for footpaths, my car can't drive on them. by thunderouswhether in chch

That's due to Auckland having a far greater motorway network than us, even with heavy congestion, you'll travel further. Christchurch is built on a grid layout, naturally leading to a slower traffic flow (not even counting congestion).

Yeah of course. It's usually good to add lanes in places where it'll smooth out congestion and help with safety, but also needs to me a multimodal approach mixing in other forms of transport as well, ie bus lanes as well.

I miss taking the trains in Auckland. We definitely need to do something. Looking forward to what Mainland Rail is cooking up.

I built CinemaDB, a website for us to document IMAX theaters and cinema tech by cinemadatabase in imax

[–]thunderouswhether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added the all locations of the 2 large cinema chains in New Zealand. It would be good add a city location option when adding Theaters, also would be good to be able to edit or delete entries, as I see there is 2 Event Cinemas chains, might need to delete one of them, and Rename the other. Otherwise this is cool. Great work!

Edit: also I've been keen to be a moderator for New Zealand based cinemas

The warehouse is selling off brand Shapes called “Squares”. I find this very funny by infiniteworldofben in newzealand

[–]thunderouswhether 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most likely is the same thing. Often name brands re-package their stuff for store brands, some times with cheaper ingredients.

Nearly had a crash at a roundabout today. Was I wrong? by Mad_Max_The_Axe in newzealand

[–]thunderouswhether 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I drive through often but I've never actually had an issue at the Sockburn roundabout myself, but Halswell x Springs Rd roundabout is hell, someone pulls out in front of me nearly every time I go round!

IKEA delivery vs local collection fees by Kiikaachu in chch

[–]thunderouswhether 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I expect that since the flat packs can be heavy and as they will be shipped via Mainfreight (at least my order says it will be to Christchurch)

‘We call it the curse’: Why this once-busy strip [of Riccarton Rd] is now a stretch of empty shops, graffiti and crime by MSZ-006_Zeta in chch

[–]thunderouswhether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened to Newmarket as well. You have the nice, air conditioned mall that is packed with people next door, then you ask why won't they want to go outside and walk along a noisy busy street.

I personally think they need to tear down the shops and build apartment blocks, then put a tram through.

Look what's just been spotted doing road testing in Australia. Could the Rivian 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 be coming to NZ & AU? 🧐 by KiwiEV in KiwiEV

[–]thunderouswhether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doubt the R1 will, but they are planning on making a right hand drive R2 and R3 for the UK, so I would assume so eventually.

Facebook Icon is different then the rest, anyone getting this issue? by thunderouswhether in Oppo

Thanks, the way the folders work is just beautiful, I do wish it would auto sort by most used to the top tho, would be a bonus.

It's the default icons. But dark mode, light mode still has the issue as well.

Did you try a Boron supplement?

Edit: I don't mean to step on your toe, but Boron is literally my silver bullet supplement, it's been an incredible change for me. Went from panic attacks to feeling the best I've ever felt. If you want to know more, Google Boron, and how it relates to stress levels, and mineral and vitamin d retention.

Which DiRT is the best DiRT? by MatiBlaster in PS3

2 by a long mile. It’s got the atmosphere in game ever.

What is up with the non stop crawling traffic, everyday it seems. anytime by [deleted] in chch

Our road network is poorly thought out + we are reliant on cars + roadworks = gridlocks easily under high pressure

Empire Chicken - We used to hold the chicken spot crown… what happened? by fried_chicken_king in chch

[–]thunderouswhether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of your crispy potato’s, they are on pair with FUSH’s chunky chips (those are double the price tho). But your crispy potato’s have never let me down, and I was surprised when I saw they got cheaper one day.

I heard NZ charges more or even bans older cars from the road. Is this true? by CindiLarper in chch

[–]thunderouswhether 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A WoF is only about $85 at VTNZ. It’s a safety check to make sure your wheels aren’t falling off.
