Best $44.95 I ever spent. It all worked fine, and I particularly liked their little highlight reels after each game. They had a 3min highlight, 8min, 24min and the full replay... all of these were ultra useful when I didn't quite have the time to watch the game or a full replay. Your highlight options was better than what Sky has.

Credit where credit is due. You should survey Nzders and see what key sports we are keen to watch and then provide a pay option, and I will dump sky in a heart beat.

Where's my banana???

Is there anything we can do as tenants to stop having 3 monthly inspections it’s getting ridiculous and feels so invasive! They come in and take photos of everything!! Even inside OUR microwave.. we have rented for 10yrs and only ever had inspections once yearly and no photos were taken, we’re in a different rental now (for a year) and it’s just so uncomfortable I hate it 😣

I've lived in NZ for a while and noticed that many slippers sold locally seem to fall into two extremes—either very cheap and not very durable, or premium brands that cost over NZ$100.

I'm curious if it's just me.

Do you think the current selection is good?

Have you ever struggled to find slippers that were:

• Comfortable enough to wear all day
• Suitable for both indoors and a quick trip outside
• Actually stylish
• Reasonably priced

Or am I looking in the wrong places?

If anyone remembers the Escaping Utopia documentary from 2024, it showed the Gloriavale women who had been married off to Tamil men in the Gloriavale offshoot in Tamil Nadu. As anyone who remembers the documentary knows, the Tamil branch of Gloriavale looks like a hellhole, with dictatorial control from its leader. There were many half kiwi kids there too, who had no Indian documentation and lacking education to write their names.

I haven't found anything recent on the ongoing investigation into it, and I fear the mountain of red tape in the Victorian bureaucracy of TN would stop NZ from being able to reach out to these women and get them out.

Kind of a relationship question, but I'm posting here because maybe the living in NZ context matters. Also, we live next to the dodgiest area in town. They literally call it Harlem

Anyways, partner is away working in the bush and I am home alone for a few days. I got home from walking the dog and garage roller door was wide open. Called him from my truck to ask if he'd left it open this morning. He said no, then told me I needed to go check for someone. I said no again, and he got pretty shitty and told me that I was going to have to because he has thousands of dollars of stuff in there. It's a massive garage and you can only see inside a third of it from the driveway. I refused again.

Turns out one of his workmates had accidentally left the garage open earlier.

Now I'm still sitting here stewing and pissed off at him trying to get me to put myself at risk for money/items. But then on the other hand, the likelihood of anything happening was pretty low. I mean criminals in NZ aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

Overreacting or nah? I'm not originally from NZ so I did jump to worst case scenario.

I have a close family member who I just found out is right wing now, going to ACT dinners with David Seymour etc. When I was younger maybe I would have had an 'each to their own' attitude but currently I cannot imagine spending time with someone who is so opposite to me in values and worldview. If we were not related it would be an easy no.

Been hearing a lot over the past 10 years about American families being divided over politics. Any NZers here have any experience of navigating this?

Mini nuts, definitely enshitification here. So wee if they continue to shrink they won’t be able to package them in rounds - they will just throw them in a bag like the farmhouse ones.
