I'd prefer it if they keep their "US tech ecosystem" in the US and don't bring those people here, especially if more of them want to stay or buy property here.

Some people should lose their driver's licence permanently. There's no excuse for road rage like this.

When you go to bed early because you're exhausted after a hectic day at work; that totally messes with your circadian rhythm and you're wide awake again at 11.30pm. Errrrr

I hate how the media are just publishing what the government tells them, instead of critically investigating & publishing what the real situation is.
If consumer confidence is really up (is it though?), that may be because of the false narrative that the govt is presenting and media are parroting.

The economy is flatlining, and claims of 2025 being the year of growth aren't being realised. Growth is in unemployment, & numbers of New Zealanders leaving the country. September per capita GDP has fallen for 2 years - $1,593 worse than it was at the start of this government

Not actively providing for prayer rooms or paying for religious schools is okay, but prohibiting pple from wearing religious symbols or restricting religious gatherings in public are serious limitations on the right to freedom of (religious) expression & freedom of religion that are hard to justify.

Are there any tech savvy people on here that can answer my - probably stupid - question?
I love my old Samsung S3370 phone. It's a small, reasonably dumb 3G phone and it has a proper stereo FM radio (no need to use apps)! Now, they're going to switch off 3G soon, will that radio still work?

So is Abbott basically saying that centre-right conservatives should make a shift further to the right? 🤦

Encountered one of those monsters near my house last year. I screamed internally. If that scream had resulted in a sound, I think they could have heard it at the other side of Cook Strait. Way. too. BIG!
No need to be afraid of spiders, says arachnologist Nicola Sullivan. They can be a valuable resource to help you manage the pests in your garden.

Yeah, nah. The small business I work for is still struggling due to the cost of living crisis; my wages still too low, can't work more hours; still struggling to pay the bills; still at risk of losing my house; insurance premiums still too high.
The current government is still incompetent & racist.

Can't really say what this means without knowing the definition of socialism used for this vote. Many Americans (and others) don't even seem to know the difference between communism, Marxism, socialism and, yes, national-socialism.
US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries.
What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

So the parents of children in richer suburbs like Khandallah think their & their children's sleep is more important than that of people in poorer suburbs like Newlands?
I've followed this from the start and the consultation has been thorough and transparent. The reasons for the changes were valid.

I live in a street with mostly pensioners/older workers. One home owner has already sold their house because they could no longer afford rates & maintenance. Two more houses will soon be for sale for the same reason. I'm struggling myself & so are some of my next-door neighbours.
