NZ Off topic

A UK article with some interesting facts and info about plastic recycling.

Coming to Westfield Newmarket.

I’m an absolute sucker for Cinnabons and make it my mission to have one if I’m ever in the states. I will say that the mini Costco ones have been good to tie me over but nothing beats the real deal.

This guy sound like such an utter tosser.

I'm guessing the author doesn't know the difference between a BB gun and a pellet gun/air rifle, because I doubt a BB would reliably kill a pigeon.

Yup.

Wasn't expecting to read that headline today.

Looking at the photos, it definitely looks like a body from a distance, I don't blame anyone for making that mistake.

Just changed my theme to Vaporware dark, it is really funky.

I really like the monospaced font and retro-futuristic look.

Someone's Friday isn't going according to plan. What a mess.

Another relationship situation ending up at Disputes tribunal, this time being partly successful.

I thought this was pretty funny. Probably for the best the case was unsuccessful, of course.

I'm trying to work out the series of events here, because it's quite bizarre. This person was in a car crash, and then decided to cross the center median barrier, and walk in front of traffic coming the other way? Looking at the photo, they had to walk a reasonable distance and cross a safety barrier to reach the other lane.

This is such a bizarre thing to have such a blow up over. I don't use public transport, so I've never heard these announcements, are they really that bad?

I'm pretty sceptical about ground effect planes, there's a very good reason why they've never really taken off, despite so many countries and organisations giving them a try over the years, but I'd love to know what everyone else thinks.

The man deserves a seven figure payout for this, I think.

I'd love to see this from on the water, what do you all think? I'm amazed someone bought a house especially to see it though, that's just amazing.

On March 18, 2022, scientists at the Concordia research station in the east Antarctic recorded the largest spike in temperature ever recorded with the region experiencing a rise of 38.5C above its seasonal average.

Unfortunately, it's not an isolated event with an increasing number of meteorologic anomalies being reported on the continent in the past two years.

The sea level rise map that was linked is interesting, I propose Hamilton to be the new international airport since both Auckland and Wellington's will be underwater

Politicians being told not to use a song happens surprisingly often actually, I know Donald Trump was told not to use one, I believe it was "rocking in the free world". They've also told Nigel Farage off, apparently.

I'm surprised she could walk to the car like that.

What the fuck?

I find this absolutely hilarious.

Christensen said it appeared one of the two propellers came loose

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the sheer incompetence of the womble that wrote this, to repeatedly call the vessel a jet boat, then casually mention that a propeller came off? I also had a look at their Facebook page, (the racing team, that is) and they also say the cause of the crash was losing a propeller.

Top notch journalism.
