I didn't see the show so I don't know the outcome. It's perfectly possibly that everyone showed up to see the man fold a fitted sheet, and he failed miserably. Are there any witnesses that actually saw this fitted sheet be successfully folded?
Yeah, they do ship to Oz. But you can't pay with an NZ card so you've gotta do a whole thing where you send money internationally to a friend then they pay and order and receive it then ship it to you. It seems like a big ask for contacting a distant relative out of the blue and asking them to do that.
The devil is in the detail of the Rail Network Investment Programme 2024-2027 and often such documents are written in a coded way where you need to read between the lines. And look out for what is not included.
But clearly this is not good news for the secondary lines in the New Zealand rail network, and for the bulk of the South Island rail network in particular. It’s hard to read this as anything other than a return to the bad old days of “managed decline” of the secondary rail network of the privatisation era.
Oh yay. A lack of investment in infrastructure, what a surprise.
Northland appears to be the exception that proves the rule, aided by its position in the Upper North Island. People cognisant with the political dynamics of the current New Zealand coalition government may wish to speculate on why Northland appears to find such favour.
I was looking for a post on Lemmy yesterday with a vague couple of keywords, used Kagi with "Fediverse forums" lens and bam, right there at the top was the post I was looking for, from a year ago! I couldn't believe it.
It's like how everyone used to search Reddit with site:reddit rather than using the reddit search. Except you can't do that too easily for Lemmy because of all the instances. But the Kagi lens does a pretty impressive job of solving that.
Is it true or just a stereotype? My kids love fruit. We go through probably 6kg of fruit a week, half of that is bananas and the rest is a mix of all sorts.
They obviously love candy too but they don't complain about fruit.
Vegetables on the other hand... Fiber without (much) sugar is offensive.
I guess I'm not the only one, but I haven't heard of this before. It seems hospital rates have been a thing for a long time (the sickness benefit hospital rate was 26.98 in 1998).
What's the reason for this policy? I get that if the tax payer is paying for your stay in hospital then they may not want to also be paying for your house elsewhere, but is forcing you to end the tenancy so you have no choice but to stay in hospital really going to help? Or is it supposed to be a threat (leave hospital or you will lose your house)?
How many people stay in hospital longer than 13 weeks? I can't imagine the cost is significant compared to the overall welfare bill if we keep paying people so they have less to worry about.
