I don’t quite understand. Why is the third point necessary if the second point exists?
And what do gender neutral toilets looks like in the UK currently if having self-contained toilets isn’t it? I’ve never seen gender neutral toilets with American door gaps.
That looks good! 50+ reviews and an average of 5 stars, that’s pretty impressive!
I’ll have to give it a go some day, unfortunately I almost never go down that end of town. I used to work near there about 5 years ago but now work closer to the train station end of town, or actually from home most of the time, in which both have less interesting food choices than the Manners St area.
I haven’t heard of them, but if someone advertised unlimited internet and cut you off for 400GB of data then I think they would get in trouble for false advertising. If you average 400GB a month and occasionally hit 700 or 1TB I wouldn’t expect to have issues.
I often hit 5TB+ and never even considered I might hit a fair use policy. 1TB or less is well within the “I just watch a lot of Netflix” defence and so I wouldn’t be too worried about it.
Yeah, you usage is pretty normal these days, for the reason you describe. You’re not the only one having to download 80GB updates or 150GB games off Steam, pretty common these days.
Here’s our usage for the past few months. Just changed to this ISP in December which is why that’s so low:
It did actually surprise me to learn how much we use. At the last ISP they didn’t tell you how much you used, so I never knew. When we switched to this ISP I thought something must be wrong 😆
This is dumb. I can’t think of any way to enforce it, and although this obviously won’t pass and is just grandstanding I still pity the people having to think of how they can write guidance for the hospitality industry.
We already issue IDs to people in the sex they want. If you want a passport in a different sex than your birth certificate, you can have it, all you have to do is fill in a statutory declaration at the time of applying for your passport.
So if a trans man wants to go to the bathroom, do they use the women’s since they were born female, or do they use the men’s since they look male and have male ID?

I’ve seen these around a bit. I think the idea is you walk through the side while pushing your bike through the middle. But you can ride through if you’ve had a bit of practice.
They want to keep out motorbikes, though, so they need to be pretty skinny.
Once you’ve had a bit of experience pushing prams something like this isn’t an issue. They are pretty common around the place. They are needed because there are idiot motor bike riders that drive at speed on the walking/cycling tracks.
It’s a very common design on shared walking/cycleways. A bike will fit through the middle, they are pretty skinny. And the one in the OP isn’t finished, then will fence up to the sides so you have to go through it.
Nah most bikes are much higher than those rails. If a bike isn’t (like a kids bike), they can go under the rails on the sides since there’s a sufficient height difference.
I think “they want to keep out motorbikes” is an incredibly lazy reason to have such a terrible and inaccessible design. Police enforcement is the appropriate way to deal with rare cases where someone takes their motorbike onto a clearly illegal path.
I have lived in areas where people ride motor bikes in areas supposed to be for pedestrians and bikes. They did it all the time. Some would ride recklessly, others were just riding their mopeds as a quicker path than using the road. It’s not the intent of the path and as a pedestrian it definitely puts you off using the path.
When I’m riding a bike, I haven’t had any issue with these types of bars, you can ride through them once you get some practice. So long as they are only used at entrances and not staggered along the path like your banana bar example then I would rather have them than not.
There’s a new article here where Vector is complaining that the govt isn’t moving on EV charging to get a smart charging setup. I think the idea is that the chargers should be controllable like some water heating, where the power controllers can disable them during peak times since many people charging cars plug them in when they get home (peak time) but don’t care if it’s charged then or some time overnight so long as it’s charged by morning.
This is an opportunity to have smart chargers retrieve a spot price and change their charging schedule based on this. We should also have smart solar setups where they charge a battery, then feed into the grid at peak times.
The open data situation for electricity information in New Zealand is “pretty good”. The main problem is that people in charge see commercial value in up-to-date cost and usage information so the “free data” is delayed. This prevents people from using near real-time data to improve efficiency of their own power systems.
What’s the barrier here? Data comes from the manager of the national grid, which is the government (Transpower), so what’s the commercial barrier to releasing that info? Transpower have nothing to gain.
I don’t think this Woolworths is related to the American Woolworth’s. They seem to have different histories. This is an Australian company that is one of the duopoly of supermarkets in NZ.
I was thinking about this. And under the rule of “if doesn’t matter what they are saying about you as long as they’re talking about you”, perhaps the marketing power is higher to deny it and make front page? It wouldn’t have been as big of a big news story if they had just paid it.
maybe the woke was inside us all along (lemmy.cafe)
