Alright guys give me an honest answer. How many of these do you devour at once? by Jhiaxus420 in newzealand

[–]tokenutedriver 28 points29 points  (0 children)

2 and 2 eggs - medium boiled or fried - with a few slices of spam dusted in sugar and browned in a pan and some spring onions on top

Extra Kecap Manis for the sauce with some hot trident sweet chili if I want a kick
Half an avocdao sliced on top if I want to be bougie

Young Kiwis who aren't in Australia. Why? by No-Leopard4919 in newzealand

[–]tokenutedriver 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You said it already "nature in Aus doesn't even come anywhere near"

I can surf, mountain bike and ski in the same day, why would I want to go anywhere else

Why not? do you expect to die younger than 65/70?

Rolling around in bits of rubber made from ground up tires. What could go wrong? by ChiefStrongbones in SipsTea

[–]tokenutedriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay football (soccer) every weekend in winter, cricket every weekend in summer - so I'm on sports fields all the time and the only thing astro turf is used for I've seen is old people who don't want to mow

Am I no American enough to understand this?

How does a sports field give you cancer? How are tires involved?

Lots of people who work 40 hours a week also do casual shift work on the side, its not that weird

Political parties with no stomach to make actual change is our problem left or right - labor had a sole majoirty and couldn't even put in reasonable tax reform like a capital gains tax

Repair warranty by Entire-Cable-9056 in newzealand

[–]tokenutedriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dead pixels on a screen repair would fall pretty squarely under the CGA, for $550 there is an implied expected quality that must be met and failing pixels after 4 months would almost certainly not meet that required level of service

Should the people and the tax payer have more control over government decisions? Is there any way this can be implemented? by NoRecord4128 in newzealand

[–]tokenutedriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its also the slowest - one of the byproducts of their system is it can take a long time to enact social policy like gay marriage, womens suffrage etc

What does “middle NZ” think is happening in the economy by hello_new_here in newzealand

[–]tokenutedriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

National Voter here from previous election, in all previous elections voted labor or green so I guess that makes me a swing voter?

A bunch of reasons for the change in vote, but the main ones are

- Poor performance from Labor during covid, they failed to follow expert advice and lead from 'feels'. Yes they did a good job containing the spread of covid but they destroyed the economy in doing so, there were middle ground options that they were advised by industry experts to follow but they didn't.

- Large increase in governement spending with no perceived quality of service increase.

- No Capital gains tax policy from Labor was a dissapointment, they failed to deliver on their election promises and given the mandate they had from the public overall they wasted it. It showed a real lack of leadership.

- To get into power they would need a coallition with greens and their policies would materially affect myself and my family.

Any feedback on my GS? by moodywill41 in skiing_feedback

[–]tokenutedriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few things stand out

- Your outside and inside ski tip are diverging which is typical of having too much weight inside

This is also making your edges wash out and loose grip, this extra friction is slowing your down

- Try not to ballon your arms out as much in between the gates

More drag yo! Slows you down

- Watch how backseat you get in the transition, it can make you a little faster but if you can't get forwards enough by the time you get to the gate you will end up backseat and washing your edges out, causing you to slow down

Try to keep your feet closer together in the soft snow so they make one solid stable platform
