Anyone got any ideas on how the AT bus managed to crash into the Auckland train station?

This really confounded me. We are warned ad nauseum not to click on links.

I am convinced that when you have no clue at all, there is a position available for you at either banks, healthcare, or govt departments.

 

Good on her for ignoring SMS messages. Banks have apps. Those apps have messaging in them. They should be using their own damn product instead of insecure SMS to a mobile that the customer may or may not still have.

I learned about this on CNN "Have I got New For You"

Kiwi mum runs barefoot 100m over LEGO bricks for new world record: Stuff September 5, 2025

A Christchurch mum has set a new Guinness World Record by running over 100m of LEGO bricks in bare feet.

Mother of two Gabrielle Wall clocked the fastest time of 24.75 seconds in Christchurch in January this year.

Random Item appears from nowhere in my trademe watchlist. Yikes did I accidentally click on some weird bondage item while browsing?



Nope. It's something called an L.E.D beauty facemask and it's trademe running advertising in my watchlist.

There are ads when you are browsing categories in among the items that are totally unrelated, but apparently its ok because they put sponsored on the line that they're on. I guess they saw how aweful facebook marketplace is for ads and decided to try to take it up one more notch at being awful.

Maybe the red glowing face holes would be good for Halloween.

At first glance I thought it was some sort of anti-facial recognition mask, for those that are worried our government is surveilling them.

I guess the days of "On the Internet, no-one knows you're a demon with glowing red eyes" are gone.

Fit UV lights and call it a MAGA-style COVID mask?

Apple released a new Mac today. If you live outside Europe then all is well, but in Europe you need to buy the power supply separately. I'm not sure whether the Mac itself is £59 cheaper than it used to be.

In the "how does this even happen?" department, RNZ's New Zealand News page.

 

On a desktop, page 1 shows some headlines and then 24 items.
Page 2 shows items 25-48.
Page 3 shows items 49-72.
Page 4 shows items 73-96.

 

All fine so far. Now let's look at it on a phone.

 

Page 1 shows items 1-24.
Page 2 shows items 26-49. Item 25 is not accessible.
Page 3 shows items 49-72. That's the second appearance of item 49.
Page 4 shows items 73-96.

 

I didn't go any further.
