No one is saying anything in the korero this week? I was hoping to hear about your weekends, everyone!

I had a really weird/bad virus recently, turns out apparently it's going around the rohe's children. It mustn't have got the memo that I'm a grown up!

In garden news I only have 3 caterpillars but they are enjoying it, feijoas are crazy, there is an incursion of Morning Glory.

Ikr, it's about these cool looking frogs, but looks like a vlog from a random guy!

Omg that thumbnail is why creators should never let youtube generate a thumbnail for them.

What a tragedy. Those poor people, their poor families must be so shocked and upset to lose both parents in one go.

As someone from neither place - I'm guessing it didn't strike a nerve, so much as it struck a funny bone.

There's just something ludicrous about the phrasing.

Sorty if this is a dumb question but does the Privacy Commissioner have power to stop it?

It's such mealy mouthed nonsense.

They can't "put it right" vis a vis that woman, and they have no intention of actually putting it right for others by ending the weird face misrecognition trial.

As she gave them three forms of ID, she said she saw an image on a phone they had been looking at that appeared to be of a Māori woman wearing a cap.

Ffs.

I don't know much about them. I get the impression they're big in Australia, probably because of snakes etc.

To be honest even though it's better for bird life, I've never kept a cat inside all day. My last cat was super old for a really long time though, and didn't get up to anything much on her own except dozing in the sun or peeing under a particular tree.

Pear and banana. There's something about brown skinned pears with feijoa that just works.

Feijoa jam time.

It's not different from nature. Neither are predation, parasites and diseases.

Stationary single point food sources would be rare but if there was one, resource guarding and physical competition would be normal as well, as would behaviours such as marking territory with urine.

Data from the US (where they have predators like coyotes) always give cats in the wild a 2-5 year lifespan.

I think the figures are better here, but cats in their natural state still have much harder lives than most pet cats.

Personally, if I have a pet my aim is to give it a long happy life, but I know mileage varies and everyone draws the line wherever they feel comfortable. I've mostly been lucky enough to have windows I can leave open for cats during the day.

The animal psychologist that convinced me put it like this: how would you like it if there was a door into your house you couldn't lock and violent people could randomly come in, day or night.

Even the ones that are chip controlled, cats themselves don't know and will engage in catdoor guarding behaviour.

If your cat is young and likes the odd fight it's probably okay though.

Yay, this will stop me having to click around so much when I miss a few days and am wondering what you're all up to.

If you're tired of feijoas you're tired of life.

Cat flaps are psychologically bad for cats.

Also keeping them in overnight means way less catfights/vet bills.

That said I love those image recognition catflaps they yield some hilarious picturs, especially the lightbox/silhouette method.

Is it the guy in this article? Maybe you could talk to the prison staff, see if they have a contact for him.

Also try a facebook group for Whanganui news or buy sell swap or whatever their local community uses.

I think that's a good idea.

The Northern Boys was quite the rabbit hole for me, SindhuWorld, Norman Pain's solo stuff, etc. Very cool.

It's actually not amazing, given what they are.

Overseas SROs are often linked with fires, partly because they tend to be old hotels/motels with old wiring and have owners who don't care much about safety, and I think partly because they attract crime.

Various cities have had to pass ordinances about them for this reason.
