That seems reasonable, especially if it has a proven track record. And the cracking down on WFH is SO stupid, as it has multiple benefits far beyond just allowing those are arent 100% well to WFH, it reduces traffic and allows us breathing space to upgrade road and public transport infrastructure - Auckland would be in permanent gridlock by now if it wasnt for WFH
This thing of people running out of sick days just enrages me when there is an easy solution at hand - let those who have more sick leave then they can possibly use give it to those in need. I have currently got 46 days stored up, out of a maximum of 50, and in a few months I will be given my annual allocation of ten days, most of which will just spill over the top of the pot cos I cant have more than 50. I would love to be able to just give someone in OP’s situation 10-20 days, its not like I can ever see myself using them
Some companies here do have a provision for this, I recall reading about an insurance company that lets employees like me donate some of their sick leave into a pool into which those in need can draw on when they run out. Great way to do it, everybody wins
How did they manage to do so spectacularly badly? I think part of the problem is that they were trying to predict times and locations, rather than focusing on individual offenders. Past record is highly predicitive of future behaviour, i.e. if an offender has committed assault half a dozen times, it is highly probable that they will commit another assault or similar violent offence again, we just dont know when or where. Poor quality data may also be part of it - garbage in, garbage out
Yeah I have a midrange Samsung A31, its more than adequate for my needs
We have facism and an alt-right here, but they are tiny, insignificant and basically present no physical threat whatsoever. What little violence I hear of from them is usually inter group, they tend not to hassle the general public mainly because they’d get smashed if they did. They are neither like nor respected here, and arent likely to attain any actual political power whatsoever. Violent crime and gang associated crime is an issue here though, and that will be far more of a threat to your safety here than the few far-right fuckwits we have here who are frankly regarded as a bit of a joke
The thing is, we dont generally needed the noisy table muted, we just need it reduced in volume enough at our own table so we are able to carry out a normal conversation
You should ride around the city centre here, you will have so much glass in your tires in no time flat, you’ll love it!
I dont know, I have never had to replace one, so never had to take one off. The one time I ever had one fail was when I hit a piece of timber with multiple nails in it, and I got my local bike shop to swap it. Tyre was already over ten years old at that point, and given I ride somewhere between 200 and 600kms a month probably had well over 10,000 kms on it
Interesting tech but there are already decent available solutions such as the Schwalbe Marathon Plus and similar that are effectively glassproof, I have these on my bike and they work really well, one is over 15 years old now
I have saved a LOT with this thing over the years - I live close to a Countdown, and cycle there to shop, plus cycling to work etc. So although I dont fill up very often, I have a car with a large tank, and save usually about $15-20 or more a fill (in conjunction with Gaspy to find the cheapest nearby BP/Gas to fill up at and filling on a 15 cent/litre off day). But there is a Pak n Save being built nearby now
It’ll take months for the ground to dry out here, its absolutely saturated and boggy
I have been hearing stories of people here experiencing credit card fraud after buying stuff off TEMU. I wouldnt touch it myself, looks too good to be true
Same here. Its a bit shabby and heavy on gas but I can fix most things on it myself… but at least I dont have this issue
You deserve rights so long as you respect the rights of others
This is the best approach and one had has far wider application beyond just the internet
Just out of curiosity what out there could be worse? Scientology are pretty evil, cant think of any worse myself
They have a branch office up in Auckland at the former Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design building in Grafton, the last census counted 321 Scientologists although they claim to have 3000-5000 followers here. So they dont have much of a presence here, but still too much
YouTube music is like an alien looked at that app, and tried to recreate it exclusively by smashing it’s forehead against a keyboard until an app that started most of the time came out.
You think they that much care and attention into the app?
But seriously, yeah, I had pretty much the same experience -Google Play Music just worked beautifully, whereas YouTube Music was a steaming turd on Android. I gave up after six months and two phones and went to Deezer, never looked back
Well that was interesting. Useful to know I cant rely on Wikipedia any more for anything on human intelligence.
With anything controversial like this its best to go direct to the source if possible - the research itself
A fruitless hot cross bun is like a sexless marriage - I dont see the point
Cheese and onions in a hot cross bun - that is an Abomination before God
