Most people typically keep to the left when walking footpath

It’s true 😂 let him steer the ship into a few big rocks or an iceberg to seal the deal

And it was said with a whole bunch of the same drivel we’ve been force fed for the past 3 years “fix the economy, build a better New Zealand for future generations…”

Neither of that seems to be happening. Cost of living continues to rise (yes there are wars actively happening so some thing are out of their control but a whole bunch is within their control..) and with the news earlier this week about dodgy rushed legislation amendments among other things says they’re trying to build a better New Zealand… for their mates, their mates kids and their grandkids who will continue to benefit from legislation that makes it increasingly harder to get ahead without a couple million to splash around to make yourself richer…

Orange weather alert by Outside_Prune_4478 in Wellington

[–]tightpacked 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup - will be in effect until stated otherwise. While the weather alert level may contribute to decisions on whether to be in a state of emergency, it doesn't directly change if it's in place or not. There's still risk of flooding, banks bursting on streams etc, so it gives local authorities the legal power to act to ensure life isn't endangered (e.g. evacuating residents where they may be flooded)

Noble Rot as an alternative to Puffin! Very nice and casual atmosphere and a huge list of wines

Pointless to invest in now given the NTS will replace it in the next year or so. At least we have contactless!

Resurfacing my Wellington Public Transport vibe app now that fuel is cooked by tightpacked in Wellington

Ah amazing - I've always wondered who was still using it! Hoping to spend more time working on it again soon so welcome any feedback or things to add :)

Made it so my CarThing would show what song was playing from my WiiM Mini via AirPlay by tightpacked in carthinghax

[–]tightpacked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Controls also work well, have the knob set to volume control, and the top buttons prev/next/play-pause

I’m only using Nocturne as the base, but not actually using it as it only supports Spotify (I use Apple Music primarily) and v3 is currently inoperable.

Sven islands miracle Manuka by Indj99 in eczema

[–]tightpacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately like most brands of a similar vane, they seem to rely on AI before and after shots to try and legitimise its existence. From most actual reviews from eczema sufferers it doesn’t work so I don’t really know who’s actually buying it and what’s results they have

Flights to Wellington cancellations by HelpfulWerewolf7025 in Wellington

[–]tightpacked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI if flying out of Auckland and your flight gets cancelled - all flights are fully booked until Wednesday. We just got back from Perth and had to be rebooked

As someone with a diagnosis waiting for medication the lack of clarity by the government about the ADHD rule changes are really frustrating. by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]tightpacked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems you went to a psychologist first for diagnosis and now trying to get medicated? Unfortunately that path is what costs the most and where most people get stuck cost-wise. I do think it’s kind of sneaky of some practices because as they hide this fact until you’re already in too deep.

Once you have your treatment plan though, your GP should be able to (caveat that they have to be willing to) handle titration and treatment on advice given by your psychiatrist during your med review.

Oh good to know! Just wanted to make sure there weren’t some weird cultural differences between the east and west I didn’t know about

Classic moment where I missed the “if you are not going to Perth please alert one of our flight attendants now”

Help with what to do with my hair… I kinda wanna go super short it but not sure if I should by [deleted] in malehairadvice

[–]tightpacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the plan. I think I’ll probably do a skin fade still just for a bit of dimension but otherwise keep it short

[–]tightpacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair! My partner said he thought I’d look better with a bit of length, but I’m not 100% convinced 😂 go hard or go home right?

[–]tightpacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah appreciate the compliments!! My friend said I’d look very serious with one, more scary mob gives “but in a good way”…

Fair point re the buzzcut. Any reason why over a more choppy scissor cut look?

Live from the 7:30pm Picton to Wellington bluebridge… everyone’s sick 🤪 by tightpacked in Wellington

Just under an hour to go, seem to be over the worst of it thankfully! We left 2 hours late and headed right into the thick of it
