And now they can sell the data sets of who scans each item to the supermarkets, who can link it to what you actually buy.
It's all about monetising data

"simultaneously escalating in graphic detail while introducing new sexual concepts of its own"
Honestly, they'd probably sell more if they put that on the box

$56 billion?!
Yet $3b for new ferries is extravagant waste

Love it. Mr A here would love to join in with your boys.
Finding somewhere to play TT games etc is a big challenge. Needs that critical mass to get going

I was unable to buy a first aid kit for my son's camping kit because it had scissors in it.
Technically I was buying a bladed item for a minor.
I had to go to a different shop and buy it without him present.

I wish I was kidding

I know I'm biased, but I cannot comprehend how half the country thinks that what we really need is more of the last two years

I'm a little younger and had a lot of the same experience. Social Studies and History covered some of the Treaty but not much and I don't remember anything about the land wars (I wasn't the most focused though!)

Te Reo is everywhere now. Words, phrases, little snippets being used in the media without the need to explain. Even the guys in the NZ YouTube channels I watch just dropping it in.
NZ really does have it's own language now and it's cool!

Understanding how terribly their communities had been treated, their land taken, their culture crushed meant that I started to see it was all the same process.
I don't know whether watching from afar helps or hinders, but it does seem that the tide has turned in AoNZ.

Early 90's Canterbury jersey I can live with. That was still discreet (and an NZ company)
Anything more? Too much

The '87 version all the way for me. Just the Silver Fern/All Blacks logo.
Simple and it got the job done

Oh no, not Palantir!
Anyway, moving on...

Nothing to do with the dollar being down 15%, I'm sure

You just added a little joy to the world 😊

A lone neuron has been holding on to this in the dusty recesses of my skull for 30 odd years knowing that it's day would come!
88804 was ours, maybe 8804 originally (?)
Pretty sure my parents still have the same number with a new prefix

NAT voters mostly, I expect
