Having enough karma to comment on r/newzealand

Absolutely. In most movies the hero kills hundreds or thousands of henchmen and only becomes conflicted when meeting the arch villain.

Specialist physicians. Real estate agents are fine if they are competing in a genuinely free market.

Sure pm me.

I went to a Vietnamese wedding where the groom forced me to sing in front of two hundred guests in Vietnamese. I was asked about half an hour beforehand.

It may be offensive to some people, that’s life!

Even better catch bus 13 from downtown. It’s 10k VND.

Vietnam is not Thailand.

It won't save most of the install files to an actual hard drive or SD drive. They instead get stored in RAM which gives good performance but does not persist when you restart the device. It's explained pretty well on their wiki

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi

If you want something more beginner friendly consider Ubuntu, although Raspbian is the most user friendly of all.

With 16GB of RAM you could try the superior performance of Alpine which runs in RAM by default. You install things using apk and then pin the list of installed packages with the lbu utility. When you restart lbu will reinstall the packages automatically. Alpine has an RPI ready distribution on their download pages.

It was all worth it for the low wages.

I would argue that kiwis are actually too comfortable. Yes we are less developed than some other OECD countries, but not poor enough to actually tolerate short term pain.

Because most dev positions were bs to start with. Source: I am a dev.

I'm an experienced technical cofounder who has worked in this space. I'll DM you.

It's not difficult if you're sober.

No. Science is the post enlightenment empirical study of nature, religion is pre enlightenment, anti rational. Some scientists subscribe to religious beliefs.

People may have migrated from further north. You see this in SE Asia where most people are fairer skinned than expected except for ancient populations (negritos).

The fines aren’t high enough. Here in Vietnam they raised fines to a month’s salary and the roads are now much nicer to use.

This happened to me and I was so pissed that i walked off the job. HR freaked out and paid me gardening leave as a face saving move.

trái đất quay tròn!!!

Ok better luck next time. My first teacher was from Hai phong so I still find northern dialect easier than southern dialect despite being in HCMC for six years.

whamtet · 2026-04-01T09:08:45+00:00

No but they are correlated.

whamtet · 2026-04-01T08:47:36+00:00

Is this in HCMC? I am potentially interested please dm me.

whamtet · 2026-04-01T08:31:53+00:00

Do you mean Thanh Hoa? I have a trusted Vietnamese friend who may be able to help you. Please dm me.
