  • They are though? The treat mayos like Best Foods or Japanese style mayo are priced so high they are unaffordable.

    Similarly mid range shampoo is okay if it's on special, but most of the nice shampoos in the supermarket cost at least as much as a kilo of cheese.

    The really cheap shampoo at Pak n Save makes your hair all break after a while using it. I figured out it's probably because it uses the wrong kind of dimethicone, creating an impermeable layer on the hair shaft which dries it out, making it brittle.

  • Thanks, cool! I was able to start following you by searching for lifeinmultiplec@breeze.pictures in my instance. For some reason your pictures aren't showing up for me yet but maybe it will populate soon.

  • This. It's actually happening a bit these days, eg the Ganges in India has personhood, the Atrato river in Colombia, this cloud forest in Equador...

  • I thought it was a fun idea. People would get the point if the whole thing was coloured and the lines between zones were horizontal, but land area for that would be harder to calculate.

  • It has nothing to do with population density as far as I can see.

    It's a stacked column that OP has put in the shape of NZ using land area as a percentage of column.

    Regional wealth distribution maps look very different.

  • That unlabeled middle part must be the top 10% (minus Northland which represents the top 1%).

  • This is really not good for the kids who are in that situation. It should be fully subsidised.

  • It mentions it.

    have heard of people at school who have ended up using flea treatment as a course of action. Or even little girls, I know one of my son's friends had to have her hair shaved...

  • I had kind of the opposite. Never used instagram but for some reason pixelfed just felt right and I started posting there when I joined the fediverse.

  • Maybe. I think it may be an example of the perfect is (fiscally) the enemy of the "she'll be right".

  • "Replacing signs because of behaviour like this is not a good use of taxpayers' money."

    Maybe it's because I'm a relic of a more casual era, and went to a uni that constantly had a Pus Formation kiosk, but I don't get why they keep throwing entire signs away. Just patch the vandal's work until you catch the vandal.

  • Lots of different winds. Neat photo!

  • Indoor space is on my lotto list too! I like your ideas! 😄

    Just went out and killed a bunch of aphids. I normally don't kill insects but those guys are like humans and will actually kill the whole plant if left to their own devices.

  • That is the million dollar question. As far as I know you can only get them as packets of seeds (from the Butterfly trust people, not garden centres).

    To grow them bigger than last time, I'll need to find something a bit bigger to keep them in, somewhere to put it, and have enough well days to not neglect them.

    I guess another idea would be to get heaps of seeds and try to just scatter them all through the undergrowth and hope for the best, but not sure it would work with milkweed.

  • Didn't think of that - it might be, since formal dementia diagnoses are symptom based not biomarker based.

    This is what's happening at the moment with long covid studies to some extent because it's not just one illness, it's a raft of illnesses that have been caused by the same virus.

  • Here's hoping! The other possible problem is OE, a protozoan parasite. According to wikipedia I should try again to establish tropical milkweed, which would be awesome because it's so pretty.

    Last time all my seedlings got eaten by snails when I planted them out (unfortunately I don't have the capacity to actually garden) so will have to think of a new method if I get time/energy.
