It's not an option because we neglect it to the point it's not usable for a lot of trips.
That doesn't mean improvements aren't possible, and they would help free up capacity on the existing road network. Roads are such a poor investment at this point, especially ones like these
Maybe it'd be good, but this just feels like the Boris Johnson method of:
If they want to reduce traffic congestion, expand public transport and make it more reliable and cheaper.
Ah yes I have heard of onlyoffice, it looks great. I had assumed you need a backend given how much it pitches it as an online collaboration tool thing so hadn't gotten around to it. If you can run it locally like a ms office type thing I might check it out soon.
And the settings ever since windows 10, like the main interface is the slick new style but it doesn't provide all settings info, so it ends up back into the old layout/control panel that traces back to windows 95 (but is still better). It's all just a mess as far as ui goes.
I switched to Linux again for my home laptop last year and pretty much use it full time. The only major sticking point for me is ms office - libreoffice feels like office 2003 and you can never be confident a libreoffice docx is going to look the same when someone opens what you've sent them in ms office.
Plus when I troubleshoot in Linux I can use the terminal and feel like a real hackerman™ (even if I am mostly just copying stuff off Google).
How are you going to solider on with Codral if there's nothing to solider on against
I like the idea of a weekly megathread type thing.
I agree that the daily threads don't seem well suited to the number of people on here. One of the good things about here is that conversations can carry on across multiple days, unlike reddit was where stuff got buried very quickly.
But having a daily thing sorta sends the message that that thread is done after that day. Sometimes I'll read something from an old daily and think of replying, but then think "nah its moved on" because of this.
It does sound like it could be, especially with the Wellington regional council being called Greater Wellington
Greater Auckland is a transport advocacy group, they're not associated with the council or AT.
Yeah exactly. I think it gets interpreted, and unfortunately misrepresented by some, as a rate of long-term truancy when it's actually that, plus a whole bunch of other things, many of which are perfectly reasonable.
It doesnt have to be large amounts of complete non attendance. Regular attendance is defined as attending for more than 90 per cent of the term. Terms are about 10 weeks so 50 days, to be counted in the non attendance figures you have to miss five days in a term. A couple of illnesses can easily knock kids under that, not that there aren't more long term absences for other reasons as well.
On illness, term 2 2022 is the middle of our biggest covid outbreak when omicron got in and all the rules were being relaxed. Attendance has gone up again since then but is still lower than pre covid. Seems cynical that Seymour would pick this period as the end point when these stats were being collected until term 3 last year.
Yes it was. See the numerous references here: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2017/08/committee-elimination-racial-discrimination-examines-report-new-zealand
This is from the UN committee that recommended the action plan in 2017, which the RNZ article also mentions
I know this is a hard concept to grasp, but there are people out there who are not yourself who, if the option is there, will leave their cars at home meaning the roads are less congested overall.
