Winston Peters Bans Greyhound Racing (www.stuff.co.nz)
 

Racing Minister Winston Peters has announced the Government’s plans to end greyhound racing in New Zealand.

“This is not a decision that is taken lightly but is ultimately driven by protecting the welfare of racing dogs,” the Minister said in an announcement at the Beehive on Tuesday afternoon.

Video shows moment gun is wrested off gang associate in arrest drama (www.stuff.co.nz)
 

A Head Hunters gang associate was arrested on Thursday morning, and a rifle was thrown from a car, when police descended on him.

Footage of the arrest showed the 31-year-old man driving erratically on grass before the car stopped.

A man outside the car then reached in, pulled out the rifle and threw it into nearby bushes.

The driver got out of the car and knelt down as police arrested him on serious charges after his alleged reckless driving played out across Auckland overnight.

I admit I’m not sure what the typical charges are for possessing 37g of meth, but this seems incredibly low.

How do you feel about Prime Minister Luxon using a back entrance to avoid protesters? Was this a practical decision for safety, or does it suggest a lack of courage in leadership?"

Should we tip hospo staff in New Zealand? (www.rnz.co.nz)

I disagree with introducing tipping here. It feels like the public is being asked to prop up the hospitality industry and cover for low wages. If workers aren't being paid enough, that's an issue employers and the government need to fix, not something customers should take on.

What do you think? Should tipping become the norm in New Zealand?

Why do butchers have yellow breadcrumbs on their meat? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] GGNZ@lemmy.nz 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm unsure why but It used to be the same here in New Zealand, most butchers seem to have transitioned to panko breadcrumbs now.

The only place i've seen this in the last few years at the cheaper butcher chains like 'The Mad Butcher' and the one in my link below.

I think OP is talking about this.

Edit.

This image from 'The Mad Butcher' includes the breading ingredients.

Just actually looked into this app thanks to this thread. I always thought it was only for KDE, and I’m more of a GNOME kinda guy. It’s great, and now I have it on all my devices!

Why do you still hate Windows? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GGNZ@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 year ago

I don't hate Windows, but I find Linux a much more natural way to use my PC. I started with Linux in 1996 and have been daily driving different distros since 2010 on all my PCs and servers. 

Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how flexible and customizable Linux is. The open-source community is always ready to help, making the experience even better. For personal projects or managing servers, Linux is efficient and reliable, and I’ve grown to depend on it.

On the other hand, I've had to use Windows at various jobs and never found it enjoyable. The constant updates, 'bloatware', and lack of transparency can be frustrating. 

While Windows is user-friendly and compatible with many programs, it often feels less intuitive and more restrictive compared to the freedom I have with Linux. 

Each time I switch back to Windows, I’m reminded why I prefer Linux for both personal and professional use.

SpotDL is pretty good, takes Spotify playlists/links and downloads from YouTube music including metadata.

It always makes me happy when a delivery or courier company provides 'realtime' tracking.
