Geektastic: "How to make cocktails during lockdown"

I may be wrong, but I'm guessing the methodology is identical regardless of lockdown....

Just larger quantities, and more often.

Not a headline but the photo they showed originally of the plane bringing the vaccines from Denmark was interesting.

They would have to done quite a few refueling stops to get from Denmark to NZ in a ATR 72.

Not a headline typo but cute nonetheless, Dr.Who could have used one of these Diamond Cup Angel Grinders to deal with the Weeping Angels.

PC Magazine: "Walk into any school now, and you'll see millions of Linux machines. They're called Chromebooks."

I think they vastly overestimate the student count of the average school...

Family living off-grid on exposed Wellington hilltop

For those who don't know Wellington, most of us live on an exposed hill top :-)

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Except for those who live on exposed sea coasts, and the tiny minority who live in sheltered, but largely sun-free, valley bottoms

You've overlooked those that cling to precipitous hillsides, lashed by norwester gales or southerly blasts, but getting some sun for 6 months of the year.

RNZ is currently running the headline "Auckland to move to alert level 4". Fortunately the article itself correctly states a move to level 3!

Not sure if this headline (in Stuff) is pure dumb or pure comedy or something in-between:

Yesterday I read one of NZH's stories on the sad death of three children in Timaru.

Early in the story they reported that the children were found by their father around 9:45 pm on Thursday evening.

Later in the story they said that the children's bodies were removed from the house on Thursday afternoon.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Stuff today:

"There are eight interim board members for Health New Zealand, including former National MP Amy Adams. The board will be chaired by Rob Campbell, who Health Minister Andrew Little said is an experienced professional director with extensive union, public and private sector governance experience."

And the remaining six members announced are......?!
