I see things like "less than the price of RUCs" and "easy to price competitively". Why? How? Sleeper cabin London to Scotland starts at NZ$500. It's $50 in RUC's to drive. It's $309 for me to jump on a plane in an hours time.

"Peters tells a first-hand story of being in an ED and only being seen because a doctor walked past who used to play rugby with." Oh, ED is relying on docs Winnie's age? Christ. Also: sweet special treatment there. Nice for some huh.

People seem to be missing the biggest motivation Seymour has in getting a school on the Epsom campus land - that if UoA sells it, Ngati Whatua have first dibs and are very keen to buy it. Davey's worst nightmare.

Does it actually have those things tho, or are they more of a list of things that would be cool, like a maple syrup dispenser and a gravy warmer. Night vision animal detection already exists, the Germans offer it, making up AR lane markings in snow stuff seems a lot harder.

Can someone even explain this to me? Every house I've ever lived in had at least one room that got unbearably hot when the sun smashed it. Why is it suddenly a problem now? Why are people taping Temu foil instead of getting actual solar protection window film that can stop 80% of the suns heat?

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

Destroyed the local community economic loops and healthy school lunches, force feeding kids disgusting Compass Group swill. She is a merchant of slop. RNZ ascribing "non partisan" to the motivations of her new astroturf org is an extraordinary confirmation of everything in the Dirty Work book.

Yeah you often see "it would be so disruptive!" wouldn't they just do what they did when there was electrical work going on? Close 1 lane for a section, lay track, restore surface, move on. Occasionally a counter peak service might have to wait a minute?

The carrot approach to speed cameras: Speed-detecting traffic signals that reward drivers for obeying the speed limit. If a driver is speeding towards the light, it will turn red. If the driver is approaching at a safe speed, it will turn green. These signals reduce speeding and injury crashes.

Cities see benefits from speed-detecting traffic signals
“The data is telling us that we’re seeing major, major reductions in both speeding drivers and in injury crashes,” Turner said.

I'm no fire engineer, but I imagine any number of differences between and offices and apartments. People sleep in one, for a start. Kitchens, for another, and big source of fire. Offices have organised evacuations too.

No need. All they did was making the existing island longer and wider and add a terminating platform for a total of 3. New pedestrian over bridge for emergencies and driver access only.
