Gosh I was just thinking about those cartoons where Bush calls her "brown sugar".

Note that Seymour never gets above the level of his base.

So no one who is not an act supporter likes him enough to be pm.

Yet if the avowedly Pro National fake poll turns out such bad National results then we have have to consider them even worse than projected.

🎢 🎢 Don't cry at me Lux and Nicole,
The truth is, we never liked you
All through your wild days, your mad existence
I kept my promise
Just keep your distance ...🎢 🎢

27.4 Degrees! What a great day. Such a pity I am stuck at home and not out kayaking in the harbour. But at least i can feel the heat.

BlackBoy peaches are dropping like rain, I have cooked 4 big pots of fruit this morning alone (why does this sound like drug code).

Brave souls are under our house insulating and laying moisture prevention plastic.

The highest point is about calf high. I can hear muffled voices as they work and admire them for it.

I have a touch screen in my car, I never need to touch it when driving. This is just a media beatup.

Lights, wipers are all automatic. indicators on stalk, txt is all voice. Media selection os on steering wheel buttons.

This is the "EVs catch on fire all the time" level of negative commentary.

Not to mention the vehicle that followed us carrying the D sized batteries that only lasted a few hours and needed at least 6 to run.

Bovine somatotropin - Wikipedia

Some conventional farmers use a synthetic growth hormone called rBST (or rBGH) to boost milk production.

Oh dear Lord. American butter.

What additives, antibiotics, growth hormones and chemicals are in there?

Has it even been assessed as safe to use?

Not touching that no matter how cheap.

I always think that Hallswell traffic should be diverted onto Curletts Rd and the motorway instead of coming in down Lincoln Rd. Its a no brainer....

Is this the dangerous intersection at the bottom?

Just wait for a few weeks until the Lincoln road works start, that will cause a mess.

Solar savings or solar shock? Dozens of Kiwis say their systems aren’t delivering expected returns Dozens of Kiwis with solar systems have reported higher power bills than expected, confusing import-export readings and systems that still draw power from the grid on sunny days.

A really interesting article on misconfigured solar power setups not working as well as expected.

Someone spent $30k on a system but a wong sized cable meant it wasn't working on sunny days!

Nicola Willis is preparing for a year of no sun, no wind, and no rain.

Obviously not getting their weather from the Metservice.

Why do RNZ interviewers let her get away with such ridiculous statements?

That's true, and it might push them into worse areas of the net.

But it's the right direction .

If the opinion writer is afraid of "global surveillance" because we are wanting to keep kids from the cesspools of the internet then he is the sort of person we should be worried about.

This is what they did wrong in Iraq.

The primary prerequisite for being a cyclist is not wearing Lycra, being a gear nerd or riding a specific bike.

Instead it is acknowledging the innate, primitive urge to hunt down the bike in front of you and pass it.

This urge is repressed when driving either by your wife, or fear of a ticket.

Now, internationally, you can only take one per person, and it lives at your feet instead of the top.

It can only be max 20k mAh.

I am booked an Emirates flight to Europe.
