  1. Good luck. I can't imagine what it's like but I feel for you. One day you will look back on this and wonder how you made it through.
  2. They're supposedly there for winter testing on the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds. Big step. Don't think the F150 has the same real world accreditation that the Rivian does.
  3. With constrained travel for the intermediate future, demand should rise. I.e. the working holiday type workers will have completely dried up and so will have some other reservoirs. For the skilled and professionals in demand, it's probably going to be an opportunity.
  4. Don't pay an agent, unless you have quite unusual circumstances. It is clear enough for you to do everything yourself. Get your passports and birth certificates as soon as possible. Freshen up your Linkedin profile and reach out to companies and people in NZ.
  5. That's a prime example of very on trend and expensive lo fi graphic design. Or, they simply haven't updated their packaging in a while...
  6. I think they give values but typically underquote, sometimes horribly.
  7. I reckon it's the same thing here in Australia. House prices are going flipping crazy, like a million dollars more than reserve crazy.
  8. Past performance is no indication of future performance. Sort of joking. As someone else has said, you're playing the odds; they may be long or short but there's undeniably real risk.
  9. We used to do the Blyde Canyon as a child. Start at God's window and then end up at Bourke's luck. Absolutely amazing experiences. I think parts of it are now closed because of various incidents. One German tourist had his hand cut off for failing to deliver his watch with the appropriate alacrity. It is terrible. Here is Aussie there are lots of hikes though , but as someone else has commented, you miss the broader variety of wildlife. You will never come across a troupe of baboons, or startle some buck.
  10. Are those bodyboarding flippers you're using to get out? Genius.
  11. someone should build an analytics engine you can just plug your values in and which would calculate what the cheapest deal was. That person is not me; I'm an ideas man... Edit: Having thought about it for a minute, I actually think this offering complexity is a strategy in markets with good competition and ease of changing suppliers. You don't really want people to easily be able to compare and you also want to be able to engage your marketing and selling capacities. Hence bewilderingly complex offerings bundled up with whizzy and sexy marketing campaigns. If you could compare like for like with perfect information, as should be possible using the internet, you shouldn't even need to market your product if it's cheaper/better...
  12. I will now have to purchase a PS4 to complete my stable starting with PS1 up to PS3.
  13. Wow. How far things have come. We got a BBC micro in like 1984 or something and Elite was one of the games we had. Pretty amazing really. Came with a short story and all sorts of stuff. If I could have seen where it would end up then my brain would have exploded.
  14. All jokes aside, I think you need to speak to your GP and try to get a referral to some proper help. I'm not saying that your idea is a bad one necessarily, just that it seems a bit extreme to an outside observer. I think you may need to talk things over a bit with an objective and properly trained independent pair of ears before making any life changing decisions.
  15. This is the answer. It makes it so that the quick release is in fact quick and you don't have to fiddle to remove the wheel. It automatically spaces the nuts so there's no obstruction. Try taking the springs out and then see how fiddly it gets.
  16. Not every municipality issues fines under AARTO. Some do it under the old criminal justice legislation (can't remember the name of the act, but it would be set out on the ticket if that is the case).
  17. Decided this post was actually a bit gloaty and unkind to intern so I've deleted it.
  18. Ageist and racist. Sies.
  19. Landscape and built environment technician
