This makes me furious that they can do this without a cost comparison of the other options on the market (renewable and non-renewable)
I could live with this if I knew they had compared all the options on the table showed their math and they gave some solid reasons for this choice; But they did none of this. At best commercial users will get their power price a bit more predictable. Residential users will be paying the “levy” so commercial users have more certainty about power cost.
I won’t start on how we are 100% reliant on offshore companies to supply LNG.
dfi@lemmy.nzto NZ Politics@lemmy.nz•After opposing climate action for decades, Federated Farmers wants the govt to foot the bill for storm-damaged roads to their farms3·2 months agoNot throwing shade here, but i don’t know a single person (farmer or not) in a disaster situation that would not want the government to fix the roads, maybe a road is not fixable… but if i had a apartment, house, cottage, batch, farm at the end of a road i would like the council/government to fix the road to my place, if they couldn’t that would be a big deal and i would be unhappy. The individuals affected by this may have supported or opposed climate action, it doesn’t change their current situation that they are still in.
They are both in the wrong here.
Guy being passed should be in the left lane. He is filming with his phone while driving and is speeding (technically).
Seymour is speeding faster. Is undertaking, while undertaking is not illegal, it is a driving convention that people expect because that’s how people are taught. People generally are doing checks in their middle and right mirrors, anyone on the left is less likely to be seen.

Prices in NZ have gone up, but in % terms a lot of other countries prices have gone up more %wise.
Other countries prices started lower then NZ prices but the pricing is now closer then it ever has been.
Although I would prefer if everyone’s prices went down rather then all of us paying a Kings Ransom for groceries.
Thanks for the work you do Dave.
dfi@lemmy.nzOPto Aotearoa / New Zealand@lemmy.nz•Final Report on Loss of HMNZS Manawanui | Timeline of Grounding, Abandonment and Sinking6·1 year agoThe main thing covered is the actual chain of events from the “black box” (my word for it) transcribed from the voice recordings from the report. Basically there was a lack of training, the crew didn’t figure out that the ship was still on autopilot until it was way too late.
The Crew had control of the throttle but not control of the helm direction. So when the crew thought they were doing a full reverse they were actually making the problem worse. The crew went up to 100% throttle because they thought they had changed helm direction but in reality they we’re just getting to the reef quicker because autopilot still was in control of the direction of the ship.
They didn’t follow procedure didn’t check if the autopilot was off and didn’t discover this until after they had hit the reef. There is way more detail then that but basically that is the TLDR.

It’s quiet here, I think there is around 60-70 unique users a day. Personally I like the fact that my home isn’t crowded. It hasn’t stopped me interacting with posts from elsewhere, but it depends on what you want out of your instance
dfi@lemmy.nzto Technology@lemmy.world•Matt Mullenweg deactivates WordPress accounts of contributors planning a forkEnglish8·1 year agoSo does anyone know if the fork has been implemented or not?
I think it is one of the more interesting recent distro’s. Gaming set up out of the box. it has one of the easier zfs on root install options. Has plasma 6 which a lot of “major” distro’s do not have in their stable release yet.
I tried to use it on my laptop but i have a piece of hardware catchy doesn’t like. Dev’s were helpful when i was trying to get it to work, but we didn’t figure it out then. I now know what was causing the problem, so maybe i’ll give it another try.
My mom’s boyfriend got me this huge present that just fit under the tree that was pretty heavy. I racked my brain trying to figure out what it was, had no idea. Got to be honest i was a little hyped up to open this thing, even though my opinion of the boyfriend was average
Christmas day I finally get to find out what it is. open the box and it was a Microwave; a second hand microwave. He had replaced his, wasn’t even a good microwave (5 minutes to boil a cup of water) Mom already had a microwave and i was 14 years old.

dfi@lemmy.nzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name?4·1 year agoAfter we were married wife kept her last name, partially for professional reasons partially because she didn’t like my last name :-) When we had kids we decided that the kids would have my last name to avoid hyphen hell and her last name is super generic so any time she has to search for an account at the bank or anything like that she almost always has someone else with the same first and last name it can be a pain to find the correct “her”
dfi@lemmy.nzOPto Lemmy.nz Support / Meta@lemmy.nz•"All" button not working from lemmy.nz homepage, Android.3·2 years agofirst things first i really appreciate the effort. going to be honest i wasn’t really expecting a response. to answer you questions.
- I only had bromite installed so i tried some other lemmy instances to test, but not another browser. I did check it on the desktop as well (which worked fine).
- i use f-droid to install most software on Android.
- i had recently re-installed my phone and assumed everything was up to date… i guess it was, doesn’t help when the repo hasn’t been updated in 2 years.
- i just learned that bromite’s main developer got bored and basically left. so yes, i was using a 2 year old browser 😳
So i installed Cromite and Firefox and all works well. I do appreciate having the lemmy.nz instance so thank you. and apologies if i created any work for you.
