I think you have a fair idea

Halloween has come early for Boroondara's planners...

...they might have to approve medium-density housing! 😱 😱

I have bad news

NZ maybe? Lots of hiking, relatively safe from disease and animals, hut network makes logistics easier (no need to carry a tent, less need for water). Not free but not expensive (as far as going overseas to hike goes).

RBNZ cut 0.5% to 2.5%, due to “prolonged spare capacity” & to boost to spending. Guidance was dovish with the money mkt allowing for 1 or 2 more 0.25% cuts. RBNZ has now cut by more than other major central banks, as it overdid the tightening.

Another evening of “this is why your city has a housing shortage”

Great post by Kieran Lee.

You can’t claim cred if it’s a distro anyone has heard of.

Hey avid gardeners? What's your self-explanation, if you have one, for wasting money to create expensive food? I realized for me, it's:

1) Collecting plants like I once collected Magic cards
2) Special versions of things
3) SOME stuff really is best ultra-fresh
4) It's fun to tend a thing

I think I come out ahead on chilies and herbs. Most store tomatoes have no taste but home grown ones do, so it’s worth the minor cost.

Related but why does Bluesky think I’m writing in French before I’d even started writing?

Spotted this gem in a footnote on page 62 of Treasury's He Tirohanga Mokopuna

"Between 25% and 30% of everyone born in New Zealand is living overseas by age 30, and emigration rates are even higher among those with tertiary qualifications"

Radical idea here - how about stop shitting on our young?

You just need a bigger suitcase.

Damn, that’s dangerous! I wouldn’t want to either, good luck sorting it out.

I need to know more about the cursed bike.
