Ofcourse! At least they made it to the second round. I’ll aim for higher next time!

Sad face. Poor Ruru :'(

Wouldn’t surprise me to know they changed the title. I haven’t seen it personally as the people I follow seem to be honest. But it doesn’t surprise me given that clicks increase revenue.

Even news headlines change if they’re not seeing uptake at what they think they should be for a particular story

New thumbnails mean people are more likely to click thinking it’s a new video

I’m always amazed by leopards dragging their kill up a tree. But that sounds much more impressive.

The milky owl, despite it’s odd (but rather blatantly obvious) naming convention sounds like a boss. 10 kg prey?!

I feel a bit bad, because I’m obviously biased. But 🤷

The Ruru’s time has come. Let’s go!

For sure I don’t disagree.

But as you say, they are the wealthiest generation ever. And based on who is voted in and policy made (at least in my country), they very much don’t want to share that wealth.

My parents are a part of that struggling generation, so I know first hand it’s not all

There can be more than one issue, of which both of these are a problem.

The boomers and the rediculously wealthy have the same mindset: fuck you, I’ve got mine

Tbh, if I knew that already then I probably would have voted for the burrowing owl. I appreciate the education!

Tbh, I was going to vote for the boreal owl, but after reading your propaganda for the burrowing owl, I can’t not vote for it. It’s an owl roadrunner!

This is the answer I was looking for

Everything by Ado, but I’m especially enjoying The Story of the wind and I.

You can do HIIT exercises on a bike - more easily on a stationary trainer. People do it as a way to increase their FTP. I’ve not tried it as that kind of suffering isn’t my jam. But if you love cycling and want to do HIIT, you can

Broski, you got this!

Hey thanks for this. I wasn’t aware Simplicity had a NZ Share Fund. That might be what I’m looking for. I’ll dig a bit deeper into it.

I really appreciate your reply

Nah, you’ve pretty much nailed the question. I guess I was trying to say that my funds in Simplicity will be doing as you mentioned, whatever they choose to do moving forward. However I believe that in their growth accounts, there is still a large exposure to overseas investment.

Kernel (similar to Simplicity, but as far as I know don’t give back like Simplicity does) also has a high exposure to overseas investment in their growth accounts.

I was thinking about moving the funds from kernel to a direct investment in some kind of NZ infrastructure company. It’s not much, and I know that the return is likely to be lower and it’s more risk having a narrow investment pool.

So I guess I was asking what the best way/optimum way to do that would be. I know I could just go on Sharesies and buy stock in Mercury, AirNZ or Spark. But that’s not my preferred option.

Thanks for your reply

Anyone here financially savvy? I know there is a NZ finance sub on reddit, but hoping to avoid that.

I was listening to BHN today and thinking about the Simplicity Announcement where they’re going to invest in NZ infrastructure etc.

I have some investments (not much in Kernel and Simplicity outside of my Kiwisaver) and I was wondering if this is something I could help with? Except I’m not sure what the easiest way to invest in Kiwi stocks (not really a fan of Sharesies). I know that my money is probably better invested in a high growth fund as it is currently. But I’m appalled at the state of this country under this government and I’ve been thinking about what I can do to change things.

I do give to charity and I know this would be a drop in the bucket. But be the change you want to see right?

Any help, thoughts, spitballing greatly appreciated

Did not know, thanks for the info!
