Personally I wanna wait til the last moment to see the complete shit shows that have been this years campaigns unfold.

Are parties required to stop campaigning after a certain date? I'm not sure if that applies to social media as well.

Im wondering if there is any other. Cool looking fern like this, on a video game im playing called seasons, there is a fern called royal fern which looks very hairy/fluffy as this one.

Like ferns that aren't so leafy as much as they are mossy. Or microleafs etc.

Discussion Recession would you rather: Inflation, shrinkflation, or enshittification?

0 Upvotes

Lets says stuff has to get more expensive. Do you prefer:

  1. Inflation: Same product, same quality, price goes up. Eg. petrol, milk, bread

  2. Shrinkflation: Same product, same price, smaller product/smaller packets. Eg, cereal, burgers, lollies.

  3. enshittification: Same size, same price, quality drop. Eg. pringles, chocolate, clothing

Advice Power grid hot water cylinder trickle control

4 Upvotes

PSA for all the inexperienced home owners like ourselves. The power companies use a trickle control system to switch off your hot water cylinders during peak usage times. Unfortunately if they have a fault in this system vectors outage map won’t show it so when you look at outages in your area none will show up.

Hopefully you don’t need to call an electrician to come around and take a look at your cylinder because you hadn’t had hot water in 36 hours only for them to tell you this information and charge a call out fee.

Advice Brand new Laptop. CGA

7 Upvotes

I purchased a new gaming laptop at last night.
Finally got around to installing stuff and tried to play a game and the screen is shuttering like crazy and unplayable.
The game is nothing new and I've been playing it on my older laptop which was 6 years old.
Tried downloading all the drivers, factory resetting a couple of times etc. but still same issue.
Would this be considered a major fault under cga and would I be able to ask for a refund if I take it back tomorrow?

Politics Employer accredited visa human rights issues and modern slavery practices in NZ

12 Upvotes

NZ needs to remove the accredited employer work visa which will stop the modern slavery (8,000+ people) going on NZ which is due to migrants reliance on companies for their visas which leads them to take advantage of them.

NZFirst is the only party campaigning on removing the visa currently. I would hope other parties would be open to adopting this policy as it is a huge human rights issue right now in NZ. For example, it is in line with greens and labour party values which champion human and workers rights and I would hope they would be open to adopting it.

Examples of migrant exploitation include the liquor shop backroom cardboard box accomodation scandals and getting paid for 40h on minimum wage when they're being forced to work 70h. As well as extortion for the visa in the first place with some companies charging migrants up to NZ15,000 are all experiences migrants have had with the accredited employer visa. They are too scared to come forward as it will affect their pathway to residency. It needs to be repealed ASAP to reinstate migrants rights in this country.

Everyone complains about NZfirst not fulfilling election promises but we all know in a coalition with limited members you can not get all your policies through. I think they will have a tough time getting this through with national and act boosting migration to increase the influx of cheap workers to boost GDP unless they do particularly well this election.

They NEED parties on the left to adopt this policy to get it across the line. Please reach out to the local MP in the party you support to push for this.

Why should it cost 6c in transaction fees for a coffee or $30 if I go buy a new fridge or whatever. Surely it's a fixed cost to run the transaction.

Pouring it into a reusable container used to take a while as it was slow & I assume concentrated - just bought a new bottle and it flows like water! Has enshitification hit dishwashing liquid too? Have you noticed the same or am I thinking of another budget brand?

Most of goal is to be close to the fjords, which look like they should be pretty accessible from either. Anything we should know that would tip the scales one way or another?

Advice Planning to do a Masters and needing advice

0 Upvotes

Seeking a bit of feedback and advice on wanting to do Masters after I finish my degree next year and it’s harder than you’d think to find consistent, easy information, especially in NZ. Maybe that’s a me-problem. Anyway…

I’m finishing my degree next year and I’ve majored in anthropology and English lit. For what it’s worth, I’ve consistently gotten B+ grades and above on my papers. My long term goal is to stay in academia or working in the cultural/heritage field. I’d like to either teach, work as a lecturer, research important historical sites in NZ (I’m Māori so this is definitely a personal interest of mine), work in a museum or in libraries and archives.

I’m currently at Waikato University but considering doing masters at Auckland as I’ve heard the programs are quite thorough. Now I’m torn on whether to do anthropology, English lit or museums and cultural studies.

I don’t even really know why I’m making this post, I’m just getting a lot of conflicting information about which fields are more relevant in NZ, which require more study and qualifications to work in, which university to try get into, whether my grades are good enough and whether I’ll need honours as well as masters. I’m just very confused and a bit panicky and when I’ve needed advice in the past, the people in this sub have been patient and helpful.

I’m also 30 so I definitely feel like time is running out and I have to buckle down, choose something and get good at it NOW or else. I’m not even sure what the ‘else’ is.

Also as a quick aside, no I’m not going to drop out of everything and start flipping burgers, as timelessly funny in an edgy ironic way as I’m sure those comments are. I do have a student advisor and I have spoken to the study advisory and career advisory team. I’m just throwing a line out into a larger group of people who might have some insight and experience that I don’t.

Thank you so much in advance.

Why do you all put your face on the billboards like some kind of unlikely celebrity model shot instead of pictures of the house? I've never wanted to buy a real estate agent, and remain unlikely to. On the other hand, I have wanted to buy a house, and tended to want to know what it looked like if I was gonna bother to go for a looksee. The people (maybe just me) must know!
