Have you read the entire article? I'm absolutely not a National fan but they're not saying that they will reverse all changes, only there were it's safe to do so. Essentially what the current plan is, perhaps at less places.

Also, they want to focus on other things than speed, eg on alcohol testing.

National will encourage police to increase the use of breath testing and we will fix roadside drug testing legislation so police can effectively test drivers for drugs.

I'm from The Netherlands where we have an absurd focus on speed, and speed testing. It has got nothing to do with safety where they are testing, it's just another tax.

I've got my license 25 years or so and have only been tested for alcohol once. Never in my ten years in New Zealand. That's crazy. One in five fatal crashes is caused by alcohol.

The critics seem much happier than the average user rating. It has many one star review and sits at about 1.5 stars average... And doesn't seem review bombed.

We tried it as well couple of months ago, it was terrible. Lots of basic features didn't work. We disabled the rollout. They also seem to have delayed the rollout at MS.

The current Teams version seems to rely on AngularJS we found out recently...

Yeah, same at xbox. It has an avg rate of about 1.5 stars, lots of complaints about server issues, logging in, etc.

I'm originally from Europe, The Netherlands, I feel it's going much worse over there than here. E.g. over there it's now common that high school kids have got knives on them to school. That was unheard of 10+ years ago. Even my direct family says it's better to stay here.

I've noticed people here are still much friendlier & relaxed than e.g. Europe.

No country is perfect, NZ is behind in things like infrastructure, but it's still a great place to live IMO.

Glad I could help.

With treeview tabs it's even more awesome. Really loving Firefox, only recently got it. Only annoying thing is on Android it reloads tabs when I switch between apps.

How does ddg compare? I've tried kagi, but didn't find it much better than ddg. Perhaps I should try again.

We have got almost everything with AA, including health, as they were the cheapest for almost all. Life Insurance with Partner Life (previously BNZ Life), especially cheap for income protection.

Only our Nissan Leaf was a tad bit more expensive than an insurer I didn't know, but was only $100-200 per year; not worth the hassle in my opinion. For some reason AA thinks that a Leaf is more expensive to insure than our Corolla of similar value & age.

Yup. Plus, it doesn't use torrents when using Real Debrid, so no/less legal risks.

Container tabs. No more need for separate chrome profiles.

TST looks awesome. Thanks for the tip. I just started using Firefox because of container tabs.

Regarding #1: stremio and Real Debrid and you have all streaming services for a couple of dollars a month.
