Geektastic:

The ridiculous euphemism “water related incident”.

Is that like the 'breathing related catastrophe', or the 'heartbeat related' deceasement?

I think that is correct and not a euphemism. The cause of death is not known until autopsy. For example, cold shock induced heart attack is not uncommon.

Is this related to recent tv ads for disposable adult incontinence underwear?

Not sure if serious. Usually related to death because of drowning.

When people make forum threads devoid of context and expect everyone to know what they're talking about.

RNZ has a new page layout (not all pages use this) and it takes a few seconds to load everything... and one of the last things to load is apparently a script that scrolls to the top of the page. Usually while you're in the middle of trying to read the article.

Getting COVID for the second time, but working through (from home, obviously) until I couldn't, then spending an entire long weekend feeling rank, having infected the family and getting up to nothing at all, because we were all too sick to do anything or go anywhere.

Oh and in midweek, the car needed a service and WOF, so expecting maybe a $400 bill, we were unpleasantly surprised with a $2k repair bill just to get the damn thing back on the road. Brakes, suspension and a variety of consumables along with a WOF and full service.

At least it'll run for another year without having to be dealt with.

I'd be grumpy if the previous service hadn't flagged that brakes would need doing. Unless you drive like an uncle used to after a few services the wear rate is predictable.

We thought we were up for pads at best.

Turned out the drum brakes at the rear were cooked and needed cylinders and shoes, the discs needed replacing and the pads were also toast.

Haven't had it serviced in ages as it's the wife's runabout which does about 5-10 km a day at most. I never drive it. Last WOF was at a testing station and brakes passed with no comments or warnings.

I like to watch The Curse of Oak Island. I don't believe for a moment that there is any treasure to be found there, but I get a kind of weird reassurance from the OCD determination of Rick Lagina to keep digging no matter what. For me Oak Island is pleasant background filler and I like to have it on while doing other things.

Except my background stream has stopped working. I have been getting 504 errors for well over a week now. Other Samsung + streams I follow all seem okay, just not the Oak Island one. I have tried to research this but there seems to be zero information from Samsung or anyone else. I can still view Oak Island from other sources to feed my fix, but I miss the infinite loop I was on. I am annoyed that I can't find out anything about the source of the problem and I wonder if anyone else has noticed this issue and might know any more about it?

The treasure is there but it is the money made from tv syndication. I've found a reference to the Laginas making $100,000 each per episode. They'll string it out forever.

Thanks but that wasn't my question. I know they have plenty of financial support from different sources though they also spend a lot, but I don't actually care how they make their money. I just want my programme back.
