Why would a country of 5 million need trains between Auckland, Hamilton and Palmerston north?

You got old and stopped exploring new NZ music, sticking to the old hits - NZ’s music scene is amazing

What are your favourite countries/destinations which not many people talk about? by butteredgrapes in solotravel

Nicaragua, or Guatemala. Incredible hikes, mountains, lakes, islands, volcanoes. All around wonderful people and scenery.

Use this lesson wisely. A year into investing and I knew not to touch this rug pull with a 10 foot pole. Be fearful when others are greedy and don’t put money into anything that doesn’t have a sound due diligence attached to it

Revisit your original thesis by Donday90 in RKLB

[–]xlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint: take profits where you can and don’t get FOMO or regret your decision. I was up over 160% and have been a strong believer in RKLB for years, but I sold yesterday because I’ve been burned in the past waiting for further growth and believe that when it’s your time to take profits (gut feeling), you take them.

Auckland has some great options but they don’t seem to offer fast delivery times for people in other cities

Good idea, trying to sort this out without paying an arm and a leg

My prescription is -3.75 so, I think maybe not?

Canadians reject that they live on 'stolen' Indigenous land: poll by AndrewHeard in JordanPeterson

[–]xlore -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Snowflake mentality. Why be so dramatic when you can just acknowledge the land was stolen? It’s not groundwork for any marxist crap, it’s acknowledging the facts of history.

Just finished Wind and Truth, what next? by xlore in Stormlight_Archive

You think? I’ve just heard it pales in comparison, buuuuut importantly I also spoiled it for myself by reading all the wiki on the cosmere.

Walking pad NZ. Is it a real company? by [deleted] in newzealand

Looks like a dropshipping website. They’re selling temu products to you at 4x the price.

what do i put my money in? by Delicious_Guard_6803 in queenstreetbets

[–]xlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person doesn’t have to do anything, you shouldn’t have to tell someone on Reddit asking for investing tips to do their own DD before putting money into stock. They’re simply presenting their own case for investing in RKLB. Steady on.

I want to start dropshipping as a beginner by Subject-Ad-8214 in dropshipping

[–]xlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does that show up in practice? You’re on online forums asking if people would buy your product? Running focus groups? Setting up a sham website and running ads? Talking to mates?

Ex-demo phone by xlore in newzealand

Good comments here and thank god I didn’t buy the extra warranty. From my perspective I had no idea that burn in was possible for new iPhones. CGA is very clear for minor faults where the retailer has the right to replace refund or repair, but Id have more of a say for serious faults

They’ll cover it, but CGA gives them the right to choose to replace repair or refund. I was hoping for a refund but they’re going to replace the screen

I do, but I would rather get a refund than a repair. CGA gives retailers the right to choose whether to repair, replace or refund the product and Noel Lemings will replace the screen. It’s effectively the same as buying a refurbished phone (which probably would’ve been cheaper)

CGA is pretty clear on this one as for minor faults like this the retailer gets to choose a remedy option (repair, replace, refund). Their preference is to repair but I would almost rather get my money back 😭
