Disk brake pads, inner tubes, spare tires?

Doing a round of bike maintenance tomorrow. Making sure we have options should the SHTF.

Trump throttling the world economy is an act of war.

Like meeting with your abusive spouse to discuss when he might stop hitting you or dragging you by the hair round the house.

Incredibly grateful to have been able to pick up a PHEV during the Clean Cars Discount era.

Anyone else putting away extra food into storage just in case the fuel crisis gets really bad?

Can New Zealand please get a Police commissioner who just wants to do his job

While I do have issues with Bryce Edwards and his repeated quoting of Ani O’Brien and irrational hatred of the greens (not in this piece), this one is really important to consider

One glance at Chris Penk's self published bullshit is all it takes.

This is obvious to anyone who observed their reaction to anything that contributed ANY hardship to one of their wealthy constituents.

Great party to be late to.

This is mentally scarring

Once a b̶r̶i̶l̶l̶i̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶s̶c̶i̶e̶n̶t̶i̶s̶t̶ marginal sketch comedian, he was exposed to toxic levels of gamma-irradiated far-right bullshit. Now Rob Schneider is ... The Incredible Sulk

Ah, Leftovers and No Obligations Day.

The “master negotiator” couldn’t even line up his own ducks in a row, so it now suits him to be bipartisan - but wouldn’t uphold his end of bipartisanship when it came to housing or climate change. Useless is the only adequate descriptor for Luxon.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

At exactly the moment when sensible heads need to prevail if the US Navy is to rebuild.

They're cooked.

Thinking this year will be the last we do the big trip to Auckland. If we were staying with family it would be different , but accommodation costs are stupid.

A PERMANENTLY LOWER GDP?!

“Treasury reports 45,000 fewer people employed than in 2023, and its latest forecasts show a permanently lower GDP growth trajectory compared with May projections due to this smaller workforce.”

Johnny doesn't miss

Ah Motels, where everything is fine until you do the one thing you really need to use a motel for and attempt sleep, only to find that the fridge is some kind of ancient Eldridge horror.

Read about this last night (complete with the detail of his own-head-like finger tracing the carefully scripted line as he read it out), and thought it might be a new low for Luxo, and perhaps the most blatantly racist statement from a PM since Muldoon.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis not standing for electorate seat at election The finance minister will stand as a list-only candidate at the election and says she will campaign across New Zealand to re-elect a National government.

Thank fuck no one has to put up with her as MP, but for fucks sake fact check her - labour has announced one new tax affecting 1/10 people, she’s borrowing more than Labour has and ANY investment they make will go towards bettering us and future generations.
