I have used this product https://www.unitedcarcare.co.nz/products/optimum-no-rinse-wash-shine-rinseless-wash and it works great, it's cheap and lasts forever. It's not waterless but it drastically reduces the amount of water used.

I mix it up and put it in a sprayer. Usually I do hose off the car before washing if it's really dirty but the routine is mix it up in a medium sized bucket, fill your sprayer, spray a section of the car, give it a few seconds to lift the dirt, then use a really loaded sponge to wipe off the dirt, then use a microfibre to dry it off. There are lots of youtubes about this product. Just do a search for Optimimum No Rinse" or ONR.

There is also a wash and vax variant.

The amazing thing about this country is how the population doesn't perceive the corruption right in front of their faces.

There are lots of bridges and you'll have to make all of them four lanes.

That's going to take fifty years.

I don't know how much sense it makes to grow things like papayas, mangoes, and bananas.

You are lucky the bank is catching these unauthorised transactions and not holding you responsible for them.

We can't possibly grow everything in the supermarket shelves. We certainly can't grow some basic ingredients like sugar.

I guess we all forgot that washing hands and keeping a respectful distance were good ideas no matter what

While he remained in prison, yes. Certainly failing to imprison him earlier didnt work, did it

Nothing was done though. You make it sound like the only two choices were to jail him or do nothing.

And talking about punishment completely misses the point. Sentencing needs to about risk management, not punishment.

Risk management would be to find him some treatment to overcome his childhood trauma.

Punishment by itself achieves nothing, offenders like this cannot be deterred. And sometimes incapacitation is all we have got

And sometimes we have other options but the cruel and sadistic public is always braying for blood and guts and hurting abused children as much as humanly possible.

So you think punishing this abused kid earlier and more severely would have prevented him from committing crimes?

They can't find a suitable pitch anywhere in Tauranga or surrounding areas for this team to practice on? WTF?

A cultural report prepared for the sentencing said Reid had a “systemic depravation” in his background, a disconnection from his culture, a history of family instability and hardship and have been exposed to domestic violence and physical abuse as a young person.

He ran away from home at an early age. The report writer said there may also be some mental health issues.

I guess we should have seen it coming.

That's capitalism.

As others have pointed out it will probably save them money in the long run because they are using the same brand in Australia.

Supply and demand I guess. They must be selling them to somebody.

Why the hell not. Don't let other fear of other people's judgement prevent you from doing whatever makes you happy.

I meant new zealand communities.

Moose kill more people than bears every year.

Also Donald Trump was the president of the United States.

this place is kind of dead lately.....

I guess the big migration from reddit never happened.

Rare sure but still thousands and thousands worldwide.

Starting your own business is highly risky. If you are going to do that make sure you have a long runway so your family doesn't suffer while you struggle to get off the ground.

I don't know what IT field you are in but a lot of the fields would allow you to work remotely on a freelance basis. You can do that now while you are still working to get the hang of it. Once you are established then you can quit and move someplace else. Yes that will mean having two jobs for a while.
