In my sister’s backyard yesterday.

Let’s go Blue Jays!! 🇨🇦
A Blue Jay is seen from behind, perched on a bird feeding rail in a backyard. The trees in the yard and beyond the fence are mostly in golden fall leaves.

COVID-19 Brought About a Large Rise in POTS Cases

The study found COVID caused a surge in POTS, confirming a strong infection link.

Cases rose from 4.21 per month (Jan 2018–Mar 2020) to 22.66 per month (Mar 2020–Jun 2024) — a more than 5-fold increase in this once-rare condition.

$300 of benefits to every $1 spent. That is the Benefit Cost Ratio of Bike lanes supporting bikes in urban areas.

$0.33 of benefits to every $1 spent. That is the BCR of 15 of the 17 Roads of National Significance

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport

Incredible how it split to either side of the city like that. We’re so lucky.

You’re welcome! I’m not sure how often the offers refresh but you do need to click “activate” for them to be applied.

I’m not sure but it’s worth checking! I really only used to use the app for scanning my club card (my physical one fell apart) so finding these deals feels like a big win!

A little while back I realised there’s a section in the NW app that has deals/discounts that you have to “activate”. They are worth activating! I don’t manage to earn them all (or even most) but my NW dollars balance is definitely a lot higher since discovering this.

I mean she already knows what’s going on there. The point is to let her know that WE know what her “friend” is responsible for and hold her to account for supporting it.

I mean yeah, undermining the country for their own benefit is the MO of this govt. The concern is over what she’s agreeing to/giving away in the process.

It’s not just annoying optics. She’s already given the FBI an office in Wellington. What has she given the US this time? Whatever she’s doing *is* NZ policy.

Noem and Patel are probably laughing their asses off at the simps in NZ who are giving them whatever they want.
