  Same, 1 point because no Blockbuster in NZ

  It is the only way to eat them though.

  I hear that truth social is a “target rich environment” for scammers.

  My 4 month old just did the world’s first quintuple back flip on a BMX. He is talking with red bull about sponsorship.

  Sorry, I’m 100% sure you are a much better person than Musk.

  Friends can be hard.

  I saw your comment and though of this meme I saw in a thread about the Signal group chat about bombing people in Yemen.

  They are illegal.

  But by the time the courts have heard the case, the business is already bust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The story behind the Oblivion mod Terry Pratchett worked on⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you decide to pick up the series, check out the reading order guide, I would personally go with sub series first and not chronological.

  The City Watch or Witches are a great place to start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Limited incentive' for Coles and Woolworths to compete vigorously on price, and margins have risen, ACCC finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was tried here, and the guy couldn’t get contracts with suppliers. They didn’t want to endanger their contracts with the Woolies and Foodstuffs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get your new PebbleOS watch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It has the screen tearing issue, which can’t be fixed because it is one of the original ones which are glued together.

  I have to have it on the analogue watch face so the screen refreshes every second. But it has outlasted the 4 other watches I tried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get your new PebbleOS watch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am wearing my OG Kickstarter Pebble right now, 12 years and still getting 8 days battery out of it.

  I think I will be getting a new Core Time 2

  With 1.5TB capacity micro sd cards available, a pigeon could probably deliver 12-18TB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure.

  They don’t seem much more dangerous than the new breed of massive flat nosed ute’s that I see around.

  If a pedestrian gets hit at any kind of speed by an ute, they are fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patch this Bish!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Add new receptors to be able to feel wetness.
  This is it cold or wet thing we have going on is just crappy design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patch this Bish!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cows farm out their photosynthesis to things that have far more surface area than they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t buy one, they are not available in NZ yet. Despite what anyone else says, I like the look, it looks like the bastard child of a delorian and a countach, but in a good way.

  I wouldn’t buy one despite the fact that I like it. It is far too big for NZ roads, I may have overlooked that. But I can’t overlook the fact that Elon has, for me at least, destroyed any good will that was built up. Tesla and all the people who work there have been tarred with the Nazi brush that Elon is wielding.

  The only way that Tesla could claw back any respect from me (and hopefully the rest of the world) would be to oust Elon, and all his family from any decision making in the company. It will not happen so my respect for them is gone!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Psst, the Americans are asleep, post some eggs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In NZ we get them in 6’s, 8’s, 10’s, the classic 12, a 15 box and a 30 crate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Athletics Australia becomes Australian Athletics in 'bold new' rebrand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In ten years there will be a bold imitative to embrace history, return to the roots and past culture of excellence. It will be re-branded to Athletics Australia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU grocery shoppers 'fooled' by 'maze' of food labels: audit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems very similar to the “health star” system we have here…it is next to useless.

  Situation:
  Say I want to pick up a snack, do I go for a small bag of potato chips or a yogurt? Which is healthier?
  Who the fuck knows, you can’t compare two snack foods, that is a logical and reasonable idea, and we can’t have that.

  But it can also be deceptive, because the yogurt may have 2 stars and the chips have 4 stars, because they are only rated against their own categories.

  There should be a simple system. Where everything is compared to a “standard”; like steamed broccoli, with no sauce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turkey Temptation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All I read was “natural hangi pit”

  We have those all around where I live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, I am teaching my second son to read.

  I am having the same conversations as when I taught my first to read.

  “ok, this word is a ‘sight word’ because it doesn’t make the sounds you expect. It says won, but it looks like it says on-e”

  Well it is nice to have a sign to tell me where to go. Weird that it is in the OB ward though.

  Drag has a point, I bet gun control laws would follow quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It was rigged?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can happen, but statistically adult man vs adult woman is not a fair fight.

  I knew a guy at university; started going out with this smoking hot girl. She was a regional champ in jujitsu; it didn’t last long, turns out she was a violent piece of shit. Beat him up twice, he left after the second one. She had major anger management issues.

  But you turn that story around a little, similar situation, girl has same anger management issues, but without the training etc, she is unlikely to be a threat to any adult guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fuckery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because you are all out of fucks, doesn’t really have anything to do with the finite/infinite nature of all fucks.
