Great, even pizza is enshittifying.

Possibly because he can see this one being used.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust these guys as far as I can kick them, they've done some dodgy stuff in the past.

One example was picketing the Hobbit premier over alleged animal abuse, which was the first time they publicallly mentioned it.

You'd think they would go public while the abuse was happening, right?

One key reason to move is cost of living, it's a lot cheaper in many ways to live out in the sticks, especially with housing. Lifestyle can also be part of it.

I've been to Wanaka, and it's one of the few parts of that area of NZ that still felt "real". Queenstown, on the other hand, just felt so manufactured, I really don't like the place at all.

I can definitely see how a McDonald's would change the place for the worst.

 

I'd love to know what everyone else thinks about this. Having somewhere you can get food that is open 24/7 would be very useful, but I can see why the locals wouldn't be happy about it. A McDonald's wouldn't really suit the area.

I hope they start punching up with their humour. I don't hold much hope though.

 

Absolutely poor taste, I think.

We need to start bullying Tui drinkers over their poor choice of beverage. Stuff tastes awful anyway.

Silver lining of the economy being rooted, I guess.

Over 100 mil nzd to replace, I'm not sure if we have insurance.

CLANGGG!

Found it!

It really does sum up the story quite well, doesn't it?

 

No serious injuries, thankfully. What a colossal screw up though.

Update and further information

Oh, I'm well ahead of you there. I'm just amazed at how forgettable the ad is.

 

If we don't already, we need to start associating AI advertising with poor quality products from companies that don't really care.

Also that advert is just the most generic thing I've seen in a long time. Very forgettable.

 

Hopefully, the solution is new boats that are a more sensible size, and don't need the extensive infrastructure upgrades the new fleet would have required. One of the cancelled designs would have been a similar displacement to our current fleet of three.

I really hope the solution isn't another clapped out beater from Europe.

 

Would you want to know about this if you were planning to have this person live on your property? What an absolute nightmare.

 

I think I posted the story about the original break in, but what an operation. It sounds like they were importing the tobacco in bulk, then manufacturing the cigarettes, as well as forging the packaging.

For those reading this that aren't in NZ, cigarettes are very expensive here, over $2 a cigarette for some brands, and it's mostly tax.

 

Police don't even know whose money it is, or where it came from. I think they should be able to keep it.

 

I'm quite surprised a vessel like this isn't NZ flagged, given it's operating exclusively in NZ waters.

 

A major update about the meth lollies, something got lost in translation with the police I think, they seem way too relaxed about class A drugs being out there in the community.

 

Not long ago, I posted a story about someone's dog eating meth on a walk through Auckland, and now this?

Was this a smuggling operation gone wrong perhaps?

 

Honestly, the fact they even asked is pretty bad, voluntary or not.
