Pākehā with no idea what my ancestors had against turnips. She/her. They/them also ok.

@EVeracite Maybe the one that tweeted about groups walking single file on the pavement in case cars drove over the kerb. Oh, wait, that's the same DOT.

@sincetagram I've learnt a bit more about consensus decision making since. Not sure how much difference it would have made to me leaving Playcentre though, as the trigger was a new President with next to no knowledge of nor commitment to consensus decision making.

@GeorgeWeeks2014 @CoxyJindas @StuartBDonovan Wow, that may be the least friendly eg of Netherlands cycling structure I've seen. Not surprised to see no cycles parked. Is it a recent photo?

[RedRobyn @wherorobyn]

@CoxyJindas @GeorgeWeeks2014 @StuartBDonovan ... so they want there to be a lot of it.
As well as making changes more expensive (they aren't cheap either the equipment or the installation) they will also make another group of people opposed to road changes. And thus group has money and green credentials.

@CoxyJindas @GeorgeWeeks2014 @StuartBDonovan However these chargers aren't a huge issue - they are in regional towns which don't have a lot of road use conflict, and cars don't stay in fast chargers very long.
Kerbside charging in cities is a big problem. Its often slower AC charging. People expect to park long term 3/

@CoxyJindas @GeorgeWeeks2014 @StuartBDonovan It's also giving context for my knowledge And I hate that I *have* to drive a car (at the same time as liking to drive... however I also like to ride bikes and trains)

@SachaDylan @StuartBDonovan @GeorgeWeeks2014 It read like Tesla was proposing no rental. I'd have thought a region that is being dragged kicking and screaming out of profiting from fossil fuels would be the least likely council to agree to that. But then I don't work for a company owned by an exceedingly arrogant man

@_____chelle I've seen wheelchair hoists fitted to lower vans, and there are definitely simikar electric vans. But when it's good to be able to have an adult walking inside to provide care and secure the chair I think it's usual to get a higher roofed vehicle. There might be EV options.

[RedRobyn @wherorobyn]

@_____chelle Without knowing what specifically your mother requires in a vehicle there are improving options in both vans and people-movers. The cheaper ones (and note I don't say cheap) don't have the best batteries.

@GrumpyYetAmusin @darkspadge I think that's the article, not the law.
It doesn't have to be plumbed in for self contained status. A cassette toilet is fine if its permanently installed so it can be used while the bed is set up. Inaccessible in storage or chucked on the drivers seat is no longer good enough.

@whaeapower I do know that the friends who were very supportive while I was in the relationship, but quick to agree when I said "maybe we are just 2 good people who are bad for each other"
They aren't such close friends anymore, but they are the friends I have never heard my ex put down.

[RedRobyn @wherorobyn]

@whaeapower I'm still upset with how very long it took me to know for sure (if I even do know for sure now?) And therefore how long i took to do anything about it.

[RedRobyn @wherorobyn]

@SachaDylan @StuartBDonovan @GeorgeWeeks2014 I had understood that to be the case for at least some of them. However the stated reason for the NP council not giving Tesla the go-ahead for their fast chargers is loss of parking income. Maybe that's just Tesla been more entitled than other installers, maybe its standard.

[RedRobyn @wherorobyn]

@Azlemed04 That might work better. Hope it all works out, and the case manager is good. In theory entitlement is calculated from date of application, and eventually backpaid. If health is not great look into medical deferment.

[RedRobyn @wherorobyn]

@Azlemed04 From memory one is ineligible for jobseeker once one tells them you intend to study. One has to be able to start full time ongoing employment

@nz_voter I see the article advocates investing in separated heavy vehicle roads.
Main problem I see with the existing separated heavy goods lanes is that they are underutilised. Subsidise rail, not roads.
