Dracula. Great book.
Can the rich people just give Te Whare Hangahanga the money, and we'll build homes for our people?
I'm not super knowledgeable about "tiki bars" but they seem pretty racist to me lol

Ignore me, saw the answer down thread
Is it the "Nicky" part that's objectionable? Would "Nicola no boats" be better or just as objectionable?

No I would never lie on the internet
AK stands for Assault Rifle in Russian. The G means "Gruesome" as in what happens when you are Assaulted with a Rifle
That rifle you listed sure like like you could mount an assault with it. It's what the AR-1? The first assault rifle? And the 1 also means only one bullet goes in the magazine. AR-15s have 15 bullet magazines. Keep up mate
Look I don't make the rules, ar means assault rifle now and if you knew your history you'd know the ar 15 is the fifteenth one
No man that's just what the man wants you to think
Ohmelette
AR means Automatic Rifle idiot
what are you guys all gonna fly your planes into for 9/11
sometimes i wonder why i don’t have energy for a DnD campaign right now. then i have nights like tonight where i, a foreign queen hosting a banquet, must convince the “flower princess” (my 3yo) that she should eat protein. this is of course so she can prepare for the coming flower war
"Informed". They were all informed at different times. Didn't any of them need to give *permission*? FBI base in NZ: Judith Collins knew 78 days before PM, Luxon briefed 6 days before FBI director arrived www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

If I had listened past 12 minutes, I would have heard the same comparison in the episode!
This episode of @citationspod.bsky.social is a good listen, basically the us news dismisses Palestinians deaths by pointing out any comorbidities the dead has. I know its not the point but it sure is reminiscent of how covid was reported on. citationsneeded.libsyn.com/news-brief-n...
Holy fuck that’s the actual Image! In my lifetime we have gone from: “other stars probably have planets” to “We are directly imaging baby planets in young stellar systems.” We could do more of this instead of the fascism and genocide.
The absolute audacity of this woman blaming “local leadership” and cycleways for the flailing economy after firing our public servants. You’re the Minister of Finance AND Economic Growth. Take a hard look at yourself, your lack of plan and your missing boats before coming at us. #nzpol

Oh, people in Wellington are complaining about a six-storey apartment building? Anyway, I'm on top of a 39-storey tower in the Sen̓áḵw development in Vancouver. It's built on Squamish Nation reserve land, which is exempt from city zoning and functionally NIMBY-proof.
My plan to lower my family's grocery costs is to place a handful of hay on my driveway. This could, potentially, attract a wild cow which I will then capture and either milk to produce my own butter, or butcher for meat. Either scenario will put competitive pressure on the supermarket duopoly.
is that what i think it is
I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

The price of butter absolutely was inflated to make the companies more attractive for sale, we all paid for these farmers 3.2 billion profit
The thing that fucks me off the most is that National, Fonterra, AND ECONOMISTS all talk about wealthy farmers being good for the economy because they can spend (though the smart ones will just be paying debt down if they have any) and yet PAY EQUITY WAS SOMETHING THE ECONOMY COULDN'T AFFORD.
This is just Shrek's hog photoshopped onto Kermit
You list as an example a tweet from the tax payers union - I'm no fan of the tpu, but are they a Russian troll account?
It makes me feel like I'm becoming unhinged from reality because all the rhetoric from the authorities just does not match what I'm seeing - from Gaza, to the NZ economy, to the particulars of teachers remuneration! But no, they really have realised they can just say whatever they want
when we talk about unrealistic standards for women, this is exactly what we mean!!!! most of us can only jump up a single storey of a building in one go
Let me pull this from the article and be clearer: Sport NZ said “don’t pull the guidelines, sporting orgs have said they need them”. Mitchell said “let me go talk to Winnie,” Peters said no, and that was that.
If USA authorities issue a legal request to Microsoft for data of a citizen hosted in another country, Microsoft would comply regardless of local law. USA CLOUD Act applies in NZ too. NZ Govt is a Microsoft shop so all data held by govt could be got. #NZpol www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science...
So InternetNZ choosing to platform racist comments in their reports is a choice. One I wouldn't choose to do, unless you were going to call it out. So WE, as Māori, again have to read this report and just be ok with it. internetnz.nz/assets/Archi...
Lots of reckons in here, some nonsense (Aus fiscal expansion was about same as NZ and Aus debt expansion was larger), and some insight (rate hikes bite harder in NZ cos of huge shortfix debt) Simple answer to the question is 'RBNZ went super macho to impress the ghouls and they wrecked the country'.
Well this is what happens when you fire our public servants. But at least your landlord mates and non-existent boats got funded. Way to go Luxon and Willis. Really top notch mahi. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... (paywall)
True.
When my local council asks people to use less water when there is a risk of water shortages, people use less water and we avoid a water shortage - no metres or charging needed. I can't remember ever running out here in 10 years.
The mechanism by which water metres reduces water waste the risk of water shortages seems to mainly be by identifying leaks.
So as far as I can tell, most of the benefits of water metres are not due to the fact that water metres mean people are charged for water usage. We could install water metres as a management system, keep the much simpler system of paying for water in rates, and reduce water waste
By what mechanism did the presence of water meters prevent water shortages?
What does a huge success mean? Are people paying less rates+water now than before when it was combined, with better maintained infrastructure?
Here's something interesting (albeit in a sort of nerdy lawish way) about this challenge. In a nutshell, it's asking a court to declare that the (retrospectively applying) changes to equal pay legislation are inconsistent with our Bill of Rights Act.
Surely the money spent on installing, maintaining, and charging based on water metres would be better spent fixing the pipes where 60% of water loss is happening....
Water meters at the house won't show you where the leaks are - unless the contention is that a vast majority of leaks is happening behind the toby on people's property
"Wolfe" was a member of the Action Zealandia, Dominion Movement, and Wargus Christi neo-nazi groups. RNZ has incorrectly reported these groups as "nationalist". There is plenty of evidence that all 3 groups are neo-Nazis, with members praising Hitler, the holocaust and March 15.
The soldier had reasonable opsec, but had left enough clues for several anti-fascists to independently and categorically link the codename "Johan Wolfe" with his real-life identity. The intelligence services were more interested in harrassing Muslims and peace activists.
Yesterday, New Zealand Police revealed they didn't start investigating the espionage soldier until after March 15. Several anti-fascist researchers reported his online activity to the New Zealand Defence Force prior to the Christchurch massacre. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/marc...

Glad there's support (?) for Chloe's stance, but this claim that "middle NZ" was unsure til now is pretty nasty rewriting of history, the only purpose of which seems to be to justify people further up the chain who sat on the fence for 2 years. Multiple polls have shown majority support since 2023

As of today there is no rail link between the North and South Island of New Zealand for the first time in 26 years. The replacement is an as yet uncontracted, unbuilt ferry that's supposed to arrive in 2029. The rail ferry that was being built, cancelled in December 2023, was due in February 2026.

It was suggested to me recently that something like the hungry judge effect may cause inconsistent marking - as markers get tired, they get "worse" or harsher. I couldn't find my literature on that though. AI marking may be better, but I'm extremely sceptical
Id love to know precisely which product or software Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga (the ministry of education) is using for marking exams - and what makes them think it's better.

Similarly in NZ, the right wing party is blue and the (ostensibly) left wing party is red, and I always get confused looking at foreign parties colours. Also aussie Labor is spelled that way, while both NZ and UK labour is spelled that way, so every time "labour" does something I need to check which
