Bikes and tech and stuff.
“Properly” is code for “only where the poors live” of course.

Luxon does not seem to respond when people send troops to Greenland, so maybe if we send them to his home island?

That was probably me- I did a bunch of analysis in 2019 that business confidence for NZ was least correlated to their economy in all the world, matched party in power & PM gender and length of office, and we would all be better just looking at other countries confidence.

Looks like the Netflix deal does not include what used to be Eurosport, so hopefully this hack will continue to work roughly the same.

(“Hack” lol: I just want to pay someone so I can watch pro cycling that no one in New Zealand will televise despite holding the rights)

Job done. I have yet to find a race that is not televised.

I love my Load 60. It’s the bike I pick to ride 95% of the time purely because it’s super comfortable and relaxed to ride.

I'm gobsmacked that this "resealing" work is meant to bring the road up to 110km/h standard. Ridiculous.

lolz:
- Taxpayers forking out for "private" investment
- Damaged by cars standing still for so long (one more lane bro I swear)
- Can't handle a mildly warm day (the warmest day of your life SO FAR Bart!)

Just your classic OWASP top-10: direct object references. A question that I use in every single screening interview I’ve conducted in my 25+ year career.

It’s embarrassing we call ourselves “engineers”.

Also a special shout-out that you’re a very naughty boy 🤣
