I don't think it'll be clear for a while yet, especially now they're being explicit that they will go with either National or Labour.

If this ends up being a change campaign you could see a bunch of voters moving away from Opp if its close in order to ensure an actual change happens rather than more of the same only hopefully slightly less bad.

Its not clear to me that we are in a change cycle though; NZ Fist going up so high at the expense of Act & Nat is interesting but isn't massively moving the dial back towards the left.

    I'd trade off having a $20 cap instead of free if they spent the extra $120m on increasing off peak & out of hours services. IMO there's a big gap for shift workers or people going out at night and having to drive because there's no other way to get there & home.

    I don't disagree, but the AEW Women's roster is very strong now in 2026, and wrestles a much more robust style than WWE. There are some smaller women thriving there, but i'm not sure Kairi is the sure thing for today's AEW that she would have been back in 2020.

    It seems more that he was overruled by Luxon, Seymour & Brown. But in a way the Epsom voters have won the battle only to lose the war.

    There was never going to be 2 million new apartments all of a sudden, and so long as the provisions allowing the Auckland council to prioritise building in areas where there's infrastructure remains (which it does) - then Epsom has train stations and that's where they'll get built.

    Be careful with rpm-ostree install as you can get into situations where some packages will block upgrades. But, once you get the hang of distrobox its pretty easy to install them in there - in whatever flavour of linux you want - and then expose them to the bazzite side.

    I've got a handful of weird apps for odd hardware type things that the flatpak side just couldn't handle so learning distrobox has been an absolute boon.

    For me it was a KORG nanoKONTROL2 that I swapped from a friend for some miscellaneous tech I no longer needed. The only thing I could find that can drive it was a python script and its imports were really hard to find. And of course without think I installed them with rpm-ostree and then couldn't update bazzite without first removing then reinstalling them.

    Distrobox solves that problem, the script is in my home directory so is available to the container and with a vanilla Fedora container I could just use dnf to install the requirements, export the python script and had it all working in 5 minutes and wouldn't even know it wasn't installed within my actual OS.

    Yeah I switched October last year so 14 months in, only booted the Windows partition twice in that time. Recently just been pointed towards distrobox which really fills in the last gaps that I had - I think I can probably install anything I could ever imagine needing now.

    Yeah its 100% location.

    We moved Wellington -> Hawkes Bay 7 years ago. Got a larger house, larger garage & doubled the usable section^1^ but spent (slightly) less to buy than what we had just sold.

    84m2 2 bed house, 404m2 section, single garage -> 100m2 3 bed house, 640m2 section, double garage.

    1. Combo of driveways, placement of the buildings and getting a section half as big again.
