Hard News: Getting to the bottom of…, in reply to nzlemming,
I think Daisey is too busy being clever and outraged to be coherent.
True.
He says...we only know a large number of people were throwing themselves off of the roof of the workplace, again and again....
...if people kill themselves over and over in the same dramatic way at their workplace, it means something.We all know you can only kill yourself once.

I’m not sure derivative means what you think it does ;-)
How preposterous.
Derivative [dih-riv-uh-tiv]
Noun
The limit of the ratio of the increment of a function to the increment of a variable in it, as the latter tends to 0; the instantaneous change of one quantity with respect to another, as velocity, which is the instantaneous change of distance with respect to time.Everybody knows that.
So there. -
And there is this...

Anyone who says this is derivative, same-old pop music has not actually listened to the record.

Hard News: Staying Alive, in reply to Chris Waugh,
it's clear to all road users that it's a shared space,
And that, kinda, is the way it works. The big problem in NZ is the perception that you have "Right of way" and others are "In your way" and should just get the hell out of it.
My first experience of driving in NZ was when I tried to pull out into slow moving sometimes stationary traffic only to have a driver deliberately pull in front of me, stop and start abusing me for having the audacity to think that I could possibly expect to be allowed on her road.In that Dutch video at about 6.50 there is a woman that dismounts to cross the road as others ride on by, I bet she was a Kiwi. ;-)

But also lean over and push the pedestrian crossing button that way you stop the cars going across in front of you.
Now that is a great way to induce road rage in the average Auckland driver. I don't even like it when pedestrians use them, they are usually well gone and far down the road on their spindly little legs while I am stuck at a traffic light for no reason whatsoever and don't get me started about traffic lights I mean what's wrong with roundabouts apart from the fact that they seem to scare the living shits out of most of those pathetic drivers that shouldn't be on the road anyway because they don't appear to have been taught how to control anything bigger than a toaster and little old ladies that can't see over the steering wheel............
