Good luck finding a turkey in New Zealand. I’ve only found them at a high-end gourmet grocery, and then a 13 lb turkey is NZ$125 (about US$70).

Your math checks out, but this is just so surprising to me. I've conditioned myself to think that everything is so much more expensive here, but maybe not (or maybe not always).

Love that place.

Looks like a great car — and one that costs nearly the same as the RUC the government charges for it.

Goat meat is delicious.

I'd almost certainly switch my party vote from Greens to Labour if he was.

If I had the courage to buy one, I imagine it would taste like the answer was yes.

I mean, that's fine, but these were the croissants at the BP station in Warkworth, New Zealand, yesterday. Your fancy schmancy Soho croissants are one thing, but these clearly are something very different.

@pattonoswalt.bsky.social who are you going to play in the movie?

These actually would have been my top 2, so I don't need to do it.

Yeah, I'm a huge @preetbharara.bsky.social fan, but I'm interested in this also. I've heard people (not Preet necessarily) say their issue is with his Israel/Palestinian stance. But a lot of that mischaracterizes what he's said, and also I'm certain he's not running to be Prime Minister of Israel.

I agree, except…

Our drummer is the brewmaster for Lion Brewing here in Auckland, and he’s developing a 0% IPA that is the best IPA I’ve ever tasted, regardless of ABV.

This is very upsetting. I'm involved in the Big Buddies program, and my Little Buddy just got into Kelston Boys, which was by far his first choice and he was so excited. This could absolutely wreck the start of his high school experience. What a bunch of tools.
