Stuff...



I guess that small plane would have trouble reaching Sydney, so it makes sense going to Auckland instead.


Oh, it's not the plane, not even the same model? /s



Probably cheaper than a direct flight to Auckland anyway.

Not sure, with the Australian outbound taxes, a return flight to AU is getting expensive now.

RNZ headline: "Why you shouldn't use a cheap charger - warning after fire". Fine.

 

Subheading: "The warning comes after a fire was because by a charged bought through online retailer Temu."

Didn't know that farms could talk. Also I think there is an "s" missing?
"Farm at centre of high pathogen bird flu outbreak speak out"

Stuff clickbait:

 

 

The headline should be: "The slippers used in Wizard of Oz sold for NZ$48 million."

In 2005 they were stolen from the museum they'd been loaned to. What Stuff didn't include was that FBI agents this year reunited the slippers with Shaw, who “likened the experience to a heartfelt reunion with a long-lost friend.” That didn't stop him immediately auctioning them off. There are 3 other pairs of these shoes known to still be around. How do they even know which were used in the film?

More misleading BS headlines from NZH in this story today about electric hydrofoils - commented in another thread in this post today.





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