Stuff are showing adverts for absolute scam websites. These aren’t even drop ship rubbish from China and convince you they are half price. These are take your money and provide nothing fly by nighters. The classic “closing sale” with AI pictures of the shop and owners.

Never thought of the stick position in an LHD. The pedals are the same way we're used to but you would be using an arm that normally sits on the window sill 90% of the time to change gears.

Wow. Just revisited X and actually enjoyed some interaction with those I follow but it never takes long to have a blatantly racist post about TPM party leaders pushed at you. Feels like more than 50% of NZ X users are cooked.

Shit David Seymour is a tosser. Just read about Product Safety and ingredient labels being his next target. He says "Chemist warehouse had someone employed full time in NZ to check labels". They employ more than 2000 people - Whats one to make sure their products meet NZ standards?

So Libelle Group had around 500 staff. So first the school lunches program made staff at smaller groups providing good school lunches lose their jobs. Now the program has seen Libelle group go into receivership with 500 staff. How many people have to lose their job to see this wasn't a good saving.

My mother told me she got a mincer she's wanted at 50% off from Briscoes and while online got a couple of "Complex interesting jigsaws" on special too.
She didn't appreciate my suggestion that printing some interesting pictures and putting them through the mincer would offer the same.

I just saw Trump has appointed 3 envoys to Hollywood.
The Father of the year candidate - Jon Voight.
Bastian of sanity and acceptance - Mel Gibson
I don't know what to say about Sylvester Stallone but there we have it. Three old white men who support Trump.

Can I just say that having a moan about fees transferring 3 quarters of a million dollars just feels a little “out of touch.”

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Hey NZ folks, I'm still on the lookout for a new role! If you need (or know someone who needs) a person with experience in building environmental measurement frameworks, scientific research, and communicating science in the startup space...let's chat! Or a boost to your networks is appreciated too.

Hi Team - After opinions on Battery powered lawn mowers. Our 25 year old petrol victa is playing up and I think its time to retire it - Small lawn (9 x 9) but definately non-mowing obsessive so it can be 2 weeks overdue to mowing. Not at all knee high but getting thicker. Any recommendations ?

A party that is serious about reducing crime does not make life even harder for those at the bottom of society. It makes life better for them so that they a) don't need to resort to crime to live and b) feel valued and have a stake in society. Why people don't get this is beyond me

Got another Invite code this week - Let me know if you have someone to bring to the party (Lefty libs only 😄) and I'll get it to you. Alternately I'll give it to the X Rescue initiative (@paulbrislen.bsky.social)

Just saw a MASSIVE digital billboard.
"No to co-governance. Party Vote ACT."
So its officially their biggest policy to get votes now? I can understand helping anyone with "tax payer" money goes against the libertarian way but this is just racist pandering and they can piss right off.

It feels very weird here but its actually what I want. I visit - See posts from people I WANT to see posts from. Get to where I was last time I was on and its job done.
I don't want to see all the crap X shows me but I can't help doom scrolling.
This feels so much healthier.
