I travelled w my kid’s waterpolo team to a tournament a few years back. Teenage boy polo players eat astonishing amounts of food. For mid pm snack I suggested toasted sandwiches. Boys baffled cos ‘there’s no toastie maker’. They were v happy to learn about frying pan method
Or maybe put thru bills that aren’t so objectively shit that thousands of people who would rather be doing almost anything else feel they must submit in the forlorn hope that the sheer volume of submissions makes the coalition of chaos rethink

Ability to string together many words and even many sentences that may be grammatically correct but have absolutely no real meaning? A human version of an LLM
Thanks so much from this lefty-progressive (but lazy) Ōtepoti voter!
Highly recommend this film. Watched it at recent NZIFF and it’s brilliantly made.
Ffs but always somewhere else when parliament is doing controversial fuckery like the vile Treaty Principles Bill and RSB & when his govt MPs/Ministers need reining in
Yep 3 posts as part of a thread clearly mentioning NZ Min of Finance and Ōhāriu electorate. Not sure what point u think you’re making there champ
Posts don’t appear as part of thread for me & not u 🙄. When you clicked on OP to comment you’d see it was part of a NZ specific thread. No one is blaming u for mistakenly assuming this was not specific to a country u don’t live in we’re just annoyed when this is pointed out to u, u keep digging in
The OP was part of a thread which mentioned the NZ Min of Finance by name and then referred to a specific electorate w a non-English name. That context & specificity were right there in the original thread posts which you chose to ignore 🤷🏻‍♀️
1st post in the thread u were trying to dunk on had name of NZ Min of Finance & 2nd post had not-English name of an NZ electorate.
If either of those was familiar to u, you’d know it was about NZ.
Since u didn’t, that was your clue it might not be about u/your country
Thanks for the PSA, retrofit double glazing is on my to-do list but EVS is firmly off the list of suppliers now
Some schools have a ‘community service’ type component. Eg volunteer surf lifeguards, coaching primary/intermediate school sport etc count. The coaching has added bonus of younger kids looking up to the older ones and listening more than they do to adults (esp good for intermediate boys😂)
So tourist goes to 1 of biggest street fests in world, an Afro-Caribbean fest, that started out of desire for better race relations, cultural unity & to celebrate culture of those immigrant communities & whinges cos it’s not white enough? Then posts on global platform so whole 🌏can see he’s an idiot
Had some cream past its BB date but still smelled fine so I made butter today for 1st time.
Watched vid so I could see what looks like @ various pts
Twds end said to put it in ice water so heat from hands doesn’t melt butter.
Sir, may I introduce you to the temp of tap water in Ōtepoti in August?
Because parents juggle time off at the holidays so the parents aren’t going to work or their kids are looked after by grandparents etc in ways that allow parents to use less traffic intensive options (bussing or travelling together etc)
Our towns & cities rarely have safe cycling infrastructure so kids can bike to school safely or parents can bike w/them & then carry on to work.
It’s easier to blame overprotective mums but in my experience they were a v small minority (no I didn’t drive my kid to school)
Majority of parents I saw dropping kids at school in cars did so on the way to work cos there wasn’t time to walk the kids to school & then get to work on time.
Our workplace & school hrs aren’t aligned so it’s a matter of logistics.
Not every school has before school care or a walking school bus
