I had to check that I was thinking of the same actor who was in Mean Girls.

Actually, yeah. That’s the best of both worlds.

If you can crib some washers to pack the gap, you’ll be fine.

The weight of the cable might be too much though.

I think thats the same thing.

Having to present masculinity has the same root cause: the other person doesn’t believe that someone presenting feminity is as capable.

That’s… her face now?

Just don’t.

This puts lateral stress on the motherboard pci socket and on the ports soldered to the card.

Better to remove the back plate entirely.

I believe they call it guzzoline in Australia.

Ledger.

I fought GNUCash bitterly for years, then found Ledger, and now have glorious text file accounts. I can source control them with git. I can edit them with IntelliJ because an IDE is an awesome text editor.

I actually pity them. Trapped in their stupid minds like that.

Something something nanny state…

Fundamentally they genuinely think women are so inferior that a successful woman must be a man.

They might not even realize it themselves.

Lots of it is generated by burning biologically sequestered solar energy from hundreds of millions of years ago.

Shame.

We’ll, he’s running it like the last business he ran.

This probably correlates with tighter margins on insurance companies’ PnL.

Is NZ easy to settle into?

Oh another thing that ive seen trip up Americans is that socially we’re quite reserved, which can come off as rude to some. Once you’re part of the group, reservation goes out the window though.

For example, no one makes a sound, at all, in a movie theater. Yelling “you go girl!” at the screen is a faux pas. Doing so while watching TV with mates? Louder is better.

You could probably look at Hamilton (where the Hobbits live) and Dunedin them too. They’re the other major cities and have large public and private health sectors.

Just remember that the further south you go the colder it gets :-)

All we’re saying is we want everybody to participate in our democracy… not an unreasonable request

Luxon n’ co. would prefer only a select segment get to vote.

Punching down is its own reward.

but I find more and more opposing views on where the country is headed

We happen to have a conservative government right now. This means that stuff you read online will have a recency bias to criticism of them. Our “right” is still well-left of the US “left” though. They’re still dicks though.

Am I going to be broke all the time?

It’s expensive here. Especially housing. You’ll probably need to find a flat. That’s probably just easier when moving country anyway.

I am LGBTQ, so it seems like Auckland or Wellington will be my best bet. If I’m in a big city, I would prefer not to have a car

Good choices, either will be good. Wellington is a little more liberal than Auckland, Auckland is considerably bigger in every way.

Public transport is just good enough that you can just survive without a car. It’ll restrict where you can live and work though to areas that are well served by PT.

You’ll be welcome here!
