They say it's the equivalent of a human giving birth to a 10yo. No wonder the mother's bugger off after laying and let the father deal with it

Its not logical - Weight limits aren't there for the flight, they're there so the luggage handlers don't injure themselves

I never owned a fax either! Does it count if I remember the school office using them?

Men, who have 2 testes go left, while women who have 3 testes go right. Wait...

The Invisibles?

It is standard in NZ

He is an absolute piece of shit, and yet undeniably good at talking for an hour and saying less than nothing

You make some good points, my comment was originally 3x longer at first but I cut it down in the interest of not rehashing 185 years of history

Hilarious that I, in NZ, can't see this!

Re NZ politics - Yes and no.

The currect situation is due to some very specific circumstances thst emerged in the chaos of the last 10 years.

• The centre left Labour Party & PM were hugely popular during covid & won an unheard of majority (normally our electoral system requires a coalition). A swing back to the centre-right was inevitable.
• The centre right National party, usually our most popular party, had their leadership retire & endured years of in-fighting that made them unelectable
• Because of this, they've bled a lot of voters to the "libertarian" & "centrist" parties (ACT & NZ First)
• Also because of this, the current National Party leader is rather inexperienced & has given up some things in the coalition agreements that are more extreme than the public likes leading to record breaking protests.
• The "centrist" party leader (Winston Peters) is a whole thing that I can't neatly summarize, but imagine a political party designed to cater exclusively to the oldest & dumbest 5% of voters run by that Monorail guy from The Simpsons

In summary, less a slide right & more a correction back to status quo + a few unpopular chaos agents

Nau mai ki Aotearoa e hoa. (Welcome to New Zealand, friend)

First up, how much of the downturn in CBD spend is because of govt. layoffs? And how much is countered by an upturn in the wider region as people go to cafés in Kapiti & Upper Hutt instead of Wellington?

Secondly, for about 10 years govt agencies have been aiming for smaller offices and more people working from home. They can't just turn it around like that, lots of places won't have enough desks

Does it look good? No

Does it seem creative? No

Does it look funny? Also No

Will I have to see this in this cinema with my kids because they love minecraft and I'm a push over? Very much yes.

This is why I shun management roles, but then people think you just don't have ambition. I actually just don't want to deal with people.

Don't check the time code!

Ooo good point!

Are all the characters Mammals? Is it a zootopia situation?

Queen Elizabeth is/was also Human implying she too is an immortal magical being
