Brush, you do not seem like a nice person to be around.

Spread love and kindness, not hate.

I hope you have a better rest of your day.

My family left Nederland in 2003. We in NZ now. I went back recently for a prolonged visit, it is a beautiful country but it has got nothing compared to NZ.

I’m a Dutch person who grew up in NZ. NZ is a nice place, even though the cost of living is a bit high and we have our own problems, but in comparison with other overseas struggles we have it pretty good here!

I don’t know about y’all but I found Linux uses terminal a bunch and I don’t understand the language.

Isn’t ai pretty decent as a coding assistant? Don’t understand what all this fuss is about. I wouldn’t be using Linux if I didn’t have ai to assist me with coding

Came here to say, Mad Max is a sick game. Still holds up.

Fuck that lady. Atleast they didn’t give her name suppression.

“highly regarded in the community”, what’s wrong with this place.

I have a degenerative condition and have a chance of going blind should cataract surgery fail.

That’s a fun one.

This really punches holes through the whole image of secure airport facility.

Makes you wonder that if they can smuggle drugs via air, how has no terrorist managed to smuggle a bomb onto a plane in this way?

Thank goodness we managed to win the referendum in good ol’ New Zealand.

Even people who were hesitant now see the light in terms of giving people a fucking humane option to exit this fucked up game.

What a neat project! Added it to the list of things to try!

This.

Like what else was his long term plan? Any rational person wouldve thought about this sometime in the past 4 years and realize staying in the bush forever isn’t going to work.

First guess is sexual assault allegations have been proofed?

Apparently strategy chaos is all that a team needs to go from last to first /s

How are you finding immich? I got it running on Ubuntu, and it’s fine on the server, but the android app keeps lagging and crashing.

People pay full price for steam games?

Like, you don’t have an abundance of games to play and cant wait a year, maybe two, to get it for atleast 50% off?

Or is that just me and am I weird?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I’m a project analyst working for government and hate relying on vague articles and cryptic press conferences.

Might chuck through a cheeky IOA and dig around for an updated Business case!

40 train carts is a good start, but my personal preference is for the ratio of trucks to train to tip over more to the train side, and with forty carts per ferry, I don’t see how it’s going to help given that according to gemini a train can carry 90-120 carts in one go.

Really need more details to understand or make the comparison between the two plans.

Upgrading port side infrastructure in line with earthquake and environmental regulations still needs to occur - this was a major reason for the cost blow-out, and aside from shifting this burden to the port side councils (not a solution imo), what is the revised costing for this?

Iirc a reporter asked Winston this question but the stupid old fart can’t/doesnt want to answer questioning along these lines - what is the additional maintenance costs we have to fund to keep the current aging fleet going to the absolute end of their tether - this is millions of dollars in funding that’s going to maintain old ships that are going to be scrap.

A question I haven’t seen answered too is the whole - we’ll build different ships with different shipyards. Are we going with one rail enabled ship, one just cars and trucks? Again - I’d love further information here.

Re- the slight bump in capacity freight and people wise - I’m all for the efficiency gains by having rail enabled ferries - but it’s a bit of a shame they will only carry 40 rail carts per trip. I’d prefer a bigger shift towards moving goods by rail and reducing trucks on the road - this is the only way to do it given its such a vital choke point.

Bit of a novel apologies - a guy who takes the ferries mostly as passenger walk on ~10 times a year.
