It is not. You know too well that anyone that said anything personal about the PM or anyone else would be booted.

Very different.

I've noticed that those at least that I've met that are in the slightest bit vocal about their opinion about Jacinda seem to be incredibly enraged by anything to do with her, to the point of apparent insanity that probably sleep with tin hats on.

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

I do think some of the people on that thread would make some similar comments if it was permitted.

But not saying it here.

Vodafone internet sporadically turning on and off tonight in South Wellington. Twitter semi loads enough to read a little, ditto GZ and sending the odd iMessage. Rebooted everything but no joy. Hoping it will be fixed so won’t have to deal with it in the morning.

When Apple introduced its Unix-based Mac OS X a couple of decades ago, one of the features trumpeted was that a single app couldn't bring down the whole system any more. Over the past decade or so the quality of the OS has dropped, and now we're back to the old world of apps being able to kill the system again.

"When your order ships, we'll send you an email with more details."

The "details" ended up being "Your order has shipped."

After three days and no delivery I emailed and asked for the tracking number, and 24+ hours later it has yet to be provided.

Sounds more normal than not these days!

Behodar:

I actually sent them an email that basically went "I feel a bit silly asking this, but where did the other cent go?". It remains to be seen whether I get a response (only sent a moment before my other post).

Two weeks later... the answer is "no". About a week ago I got a survey asking how they did. I pointed out that my "in stock" order was cancelled due to lack of stock and that I hadn't had a response to my admittedly-unimportant "where's my other cent?" email. When I submitted that survey I got an automated response saying that they'd be in touch, which never happened.

Just now I got an invitation to review the product that they never sent me.

I think the amount of comedy I've got out of this whole incident is worth the cent :)

The most cringy thing these days is the constant begging.

My car being failed for its WOF due to an imperceptible difference between the colour of the front indicator bulbs. Both bulbs working correctly both bulbs orange in colour. I have video proof.

My thoughts, an excuse to fail a twenty year old car and keep their "fail" stats looking OK. Much.

House insurance going up 34%.

How much was the inflation rate again - 7%

How did they measure the colour output?
