Luxon too scared to front up to media regarding the new ferry announcement.

What a piece of work.

Don't have the most faith in grandpa peters tbh.

$528 for a teeth cleaning and a filling in the capital. Inc. Student discount. Is this the norm now or have I been scammed?

Further info found from LinkedIn;

Extensive foundation setting had occurred to ensure appropriate and safe use.

With permission I use copilot/gpt4 for my master degree, and my goodness it helps significantly with getting started with an assignment. Yes, it requires polishing, fact checking etc. But I really resonate with the inertia or starting from scratch issue.

Would love to see a cost benefit analysis though - obv. Microsoft is out to earn a profit, so wonder if this is a win win situation or not.

In the old days of 5 days a week in office, people would only grab a coffee or snack/lunch once or twice a week.

In the new world, with people coming into the office twice/thrice a week, they now grab coffee/lunch every office day as a treat, with the extra costs being offset by less spent on transport.

Also, this is just another step in the wrong direction climate wise. Aren't we meant to be reducing transport and our carbon footprint? Maybe first focus on improving public transport before making statements such as these that will inevitably lead to more vehicle traffic and congestion onto our roads.

Obviously we need a precedent setting ruling here. Personally I say we go 50/50, given the likely criminal link to the cash.

Allowing the couple to keep 100% would open up a pathway to a new type of money laundering, and will enable drug money to be more easily passed on to others, either deliberately or by accident.

Is the game any good? Been on my radar for a. Bit, but still needing to finish mount and blade bannerlord. Not sure if this game is different enough to warrant it.

Well, the landlords got their tax cuts. Where are the working peoples tax cuts? It's been 6 months already.

Maybe they'll wait until they've gutted more of the public sector so that there's less people on payroll to benefit from the tax cuts.

Watching from over here in New Zealand and if your reply to the thoughtful comment above you is - "he didn't raise minimum wage enough" - 1. You don't understand jack shit about economics, and 2. You forgot to adress all of the other points raised. But oh, your threatening to go vote against your own interests to spite this anonymous dude online.

You are everything that is wrong with this world and I'm glad that I live far enough away that it won't affect me. Fuck you and do what you want.

 

I'm a bit peeved at some of the "surprises" that have popped up as part of the coalition. Whilst I don't necesarily fall on the left or right, I have reached my threshold with some of the things that are currently being prioritised, such as making changes to the smoke free plan.

You can find emails of the ministers at the link above, but as the link above will tell you, there is a separate email for the MP themselves. To get that list you have to manually make changes, so to save anyone else some time I've gone ahead and done so for you:
