Hi everyone, I know this is probably a longshot, but am trying to find any eyewitnesses or dashcam footage of a crash on the corner of Matipo and Rangitikei Street at around 3:30 pm on 24 November 2025. A car pulled out into the path of a motorbike. If you saw anything, please let me know.

Question Philosophy course at Massey

4 Upvotes

Bit of a random q but has anyone here studied philosophy for a BA at Massey? What was it like? I was thinking of moving to study on campus but a lot of people I've spoken to have said Massey is going downhill rapidly and the quality of teaching isn't that great plus the town is boring (IDC about the last part tbh). I'll be combining my BA with either Law or ComSci to get better job opportunities. Am I better off moving to Auckland or Wellington to get a more "fancy" degree or is Massey's philosophy course good enough?

Question Whole steak

7 Upvotes

I’ve started meal prepping and want to buy whole cuts of beef so I can slice my own steaks instead of buying pre-cut ones.

I’ve looked at Pak’nSave in Palmerston North but couldn’t find whole rump or whole porterhouse/striploin.

Has anyone had any luck with Gilmours, Woolworths, New World, Mad Butcher, or a local butcher?

Happy to buy other whole cuts too if they’re good for cutting into steaks.

Just trying to save a bit of money while still eating decent steak. Any recommendations?

Question AI data center coming to Palmerston North?

Hello. I may or may not have accidentally overheard a conversation this weekend that an AI data centre is getting a permit in the new Bunnythorpe industrial park. Does anyone know if that rumour is true? I found a few facebook posts about it but not much else.

News Upcoming Game-Jam

10 Upvotes

Hello! Just wanted to put out a post for any game developers on this subreddit, I'm hosting the palmy venue for Kiwijam this year at UCOL next weekend!

Game jams are all about coming together to design and build board and digital games based on a theme (usually announced at the beginning) in a super short amount of time. In this one, you’ll have about 48 hours (including sleep) to go all the way from idea to whatever you can hack together in time.

It's happening 24th July 2026 to 26 July 2026

Question We keep finding food on our front lawn?

11 Upvotes

Yesterday we found two eggs (they were stamped, so they were supermarket eggs, not laid on the lawn). This morning we found two tomatoes.
We have a camera on the driveway but it didn’t pick up anyone going onto the lawn. Any ideas why??
