I joined RAIZ as I wanted to start investing but wasn't sure how to begin. RAIZ made things very easy for me with their pre-built portfolios, round up investments, and very sleek UI. Watching my portfolio grow overtime was a lot of fun.

Today I am withdrawing my funds after 14 months of investing, going from $0 to over $6K by utilizing round ups and weekly investments.

This is goodbye for me, but I will continue to recommended RAIZ to those starting their investment journey, as it's an excellent way to learn both the discipline and terminologies behind investing.

Happy investing everybody.

I've lived here for a few months now and love exploring this great state. It seems the fly population, however, loves exploring my face. They have kilometers of golden beaches, acres of lush forest, and a barrage of more appealing dining options than my facial orifices, but they can't seem to resist.

Is it fair for me to say the flies here are more aggressive than elsewhere in Australia and New Zealand, or do I just need to shower more frequently?

I'm looking forward to swimming at your beautiful beaches this summer, but with sun safety in mind I want to ensure I can lay down in a shaded area once I'm out of the water. Are there any beaches which have good shaded areas, be it trees, canopies, rocks?

Thanks!

Hi,

Does anyone remember Lollipops Playland in West Auckland? Where was the location?? I'm hoping there's a few 90s/80s kids who can take a trip down memory lane with me. This place was a mecca and nothing got me more excited than coming here. I remember climbing, crawling, sliding all over the big playground. There was a huge bouncy slide down the far side of the building which was wild fun too. They even had computers where you could play an education game about fish, and even Mickeys Wild Adventure.

I've tried to find photos of the place on Google, but I can even find the location. I was sure it was somewhere around Les Mills New Lynn, but my memory might be hazy.

As per the title, in the early 2000s the government had a program to eradicate the painted apple moths due to environmental harm they were causing. I was in primary school out west at the time. The school would announce on the speaker that the spraying was starting and all the kids had to run inside due to some kids having reactions to it. I recall one of my good friends needing to be send home because his face had puffed up and gone red. I also recall plenty of complaints about how low the plains would fly, used to freak people out. I'm going off memory here so I'm keen to hear what others remember from it. I can't help but think how the public reaction would be to such thing these day

Hi Guys,

Hopefully this is right forum. I wanted to ask if anyone has transitioned an engineering company which is currently in a hybrid state to transition to a fully cloud native/Azure operation.

I'm expecting to remain there for the foreseeable future due to the following challenges.

• CAD files are currently in SolidWorks Vault which is hosted on-premises
• CAD files and other project documentation (13+ TB) are stored on Windows Server on-prem VMs.
• Legacy ERP (AX 2009) authenticates via LDAP with on-prem AD (This isn't an engineering issue per-se but it is a barrier).
• Heavily GPO reliant. I'm aware Configuration Policies could be tightened to help with this.

Are these obstacl

CMT type 2 checking in. As per the title, I go to the podiatrist every few months to remove corns from the balls of my feet and descale any calluses.

I currently have two painful corns and I would rather remove them myself, saving some money. Does anyone do this and have any tips?

I'm a Kiwi so this game is a big deal for me, but I'm not expecting anywhere to show it given it starts at 6am and most places don't have STAN.

I would love to watch it somewhere and be part of an atmosphere, otherwise I'll just be watching it by myself in my Bugs Bunny pyjamas.

I'm not expecting a yes, but as a Kiwi visiting Canberra next week could I expect anywhere to be open at 5am on Saturday to show the Rugby World Cup 2023 opening match; All Balcks vs France.

As per the title. I remember Super Rugby getting a boost in crowd attendances and interest when it was the Australian teams playing each other. If this format stuck around for the following years, do you think there would be a noticeable difference in interest/quality today?

I'm a Kiwi who moved here this year and I would love to see more interest in the competition, but I don't see it happening under Super Rugby Pacific format which is in place until 2030.

Hi, although I no longer live in Dunedin I still consider it home and I'm keen to learn more about our history. Here's a few questions I have:

• We know that in 1848 the Lay Association of the Free Church of Scotland founded Dunedin, deciding it would make it the principal town for its Scottish settlement. My question is how did they get this land in the first place? Did the Church of Scotland purchase this land from the British Crown, or was it given to them? I can't seem to find information on how/if there was a transaction at all.

• A journal entry from a passenger on the first settlement ship from Scotland to Dunedin in 1948 stated: "“All seemed pleased and called it a goodly land – Po
