Hi Weka, I’m working in a completely different field these days, as well as living back in NZ. I think people may be looking at this the wrong way. Think about DNA evidence, the technology has advanced significantly. We will be able to identify any ...
Thanks for the offer Caitlin, I’ll go with the experts that I have worked with. As much as I love NZ I doubt that we have the scientists here who have the knowledge these guys have. I’m just an engineer, I specialised in manufacturing stuff, and I was just...
Hey Caitlin, I’m an engineer, not a scientist. I’ve worked for some very high tech manufacturing companies overseas. One particular company designed and manufactured high tech leading edge equipment for scientific research and medical research. This is ...
Darleen Tana should resign, failing that she should be kicked out of parliament. A list MP is there to make up the numbers so we have representation in proportion to how we voted on election day. She now longer represents the Greens, she must go. It’s an ...
Hey Weka, our body produces all our cells, from brain cells, muscles, organs etc. A person is either male or female. I’m male, any human cell produced by me will intrinsically be male, my cells are part of my body. Humans also contain non human cells, ...
Every cell in the human body is either male or female, this happens at conception. No amount of hormones, surgery, or ideology will change this.
I’m being pedantic… But the bullet hit Trump, fortunately just his right ear. Another 5 to 20mm further to the right it would have been a very messy, and not in a good way
Caitlin, I don’t want to include my pronouns on my signature, because I don’t feel the need to do so for myself. Maybe it’s selfish, but it’s something that I’ve never thought about, it’s never been an issue. The policy of my workplace is that it is ...
Caitlin, we live in a very free society. Within reason I can live my life in whatever way I choose, my beliefs, thoughts, ideas and feelings are mine. There is no need for me to justify myself, I certainly won’t do so for the likes of you. You are not ...
Jesus wept, many years ago I’d catch the train and bus with my mates and go to the Wellington winter show during school holidays. I never recall seeing any homeless people living on the streets, unlike now. We need to do something, middle class white ...
Caitlin, sometimes the best thing to do is to get on with your life and not to tell others what to think, say or believe. If one is determined to be nosy and to ask questions of others about their beliefs, views, ideals, what books they read, what movies ...
Caitlin, I do believe that you are being disingenuous. The requirement for employees to add their pronouns to their email signature has to do with gender ideology and is therefore political. The idea that it is for those who have english as a 2nd, or 3rd ...
One’s employer is quite entitled to request an employee to perform their job. However being blackmailed requested to include personal information on one’s email signature, or to affirm a belief in a political party, or ideology has no place in an employer/...
There are more important things than gender issues facing our society. Quite frankly a lot of us don’t want to be questioned as to why we don’t have our pronouns or the pride logo on our email signature, or being asked, do you support trans rights, or do ...
Well from the news that I’ve seen and heard, it seems that Trumps ear was hit by a bullet. However if Trumps injury was due to broken glass from the teleprompter, it doesn’t change anything. The bullet was intended for Trumps head. I don’t have any problem...
Does it matter if Trump was hit with glass from the teleprompter or the bullet itself?
Booking call backs is lot less efficient in the time taken to handle the call and to resolve the customer’s issue. The no answer rate is about 50% on call backs. The next issue is security. Customers would not know the if the call was from their bank, or a...
What is wrong with urban sprawl? I grow up in a 1950’s/1960’s suburb and I’ve experienced the space, privacy and the improved standard of living that comes with living in the suburbs. I know living in a large city has a certain appeal, I’ve experienced it ...
You mean punishing young people who have committed violent crimes. I’ve been the victim of a serious violent assault, it’s not pleasant. Society does need retribution against the perpetrators of violent crime. Seeing someone walk free, because they will be...
The blowout is due to the total package, this includes the new ships as well as the port infrastructure at both ports. The new ships are much larger than the current ships. Im in no way a shipping expert, so I don’t have any knowledgeable opinion on what ...
@newsence; Hmm not to sure what the “you small dick, tough talking cunts” means? I generally don’t associate with people like that, so am at a bit of a loss, but I feel that I wouldn’t be missing much Sure we could reduce the speed limit of the residential...
Well I guess you are right. The law is the law, it’s black and white. Someone speeding at say 110km/hr on the transmission gully motorway, is just as guilty of breaking the law as someone else doing the exact same speed on the narrow and winding stretch of...
Sorry to disappoint you, I have never driven a BMW, and never willingly chosen to drive fords, holdens, commodores, or falcons. As for revenue gathering, see my comment about four mobile speed cameras along Transmission gully, on a perfect day for driving,...
New Zealanders are bad drivers, far worse than most countries I’ve been to and driven cars in. Drink driving is still an issue, texting while driving, failing to properly give way at intersections, stopping other drivers from changing lanes, running stop ...
Yes I did read the article. The blanket reduction in speed will not achieve anything. It’s a knee jerk reaction, made under the guise of safety. In order to be really safe, we could require a man waving a red flag walking in front of vehicles.., Blanket ...
Are we talking about roads that are unsafe, or are we talking about making the roads more safe? The two are different things. Improving the safety of an unsafe road should be a priority. However just making an already safe road, even more safe, for the ...
As much as I’d like to blame the current government, the blame for this comes down to the incompetence of the management running the organisation. I worked for large manufacturing companies overseas. Coming back home, I think we have a professional ...
Yeah, however I don’t think the two are linked. The costs of the new ferries, along with the related infrastructure were horrendous. Added to that, there were concerns about the size, the new ferries were to be much larger than the existing ones, and the ...
FFS The Picton ferry has run aground, thankfully it’s safe, steering failure apparently. Given the mechanical failure the ferry’s have had over the past decade. Something tells me that the organisation is run by useless administrators who look at engineers...
I had my flu shot in May, my employer provides us with vouchers each year. When I went to get the flu shot, they offered me the latest covid shot as well. Very easy, no charge involved, or age restrictions for the covid shot.
Air NZ fly scheduled flights, they don’t have first class, and only limited business class seats are available on each flight. Added to the above, Air NZ wont fly direct to many destinations we need our state officials to go to. Airlines usually need ...
