My superpower is answering a reply then realising what it actually meant ten minutes later.

so I rip my name off the voting papers to put them in the envelope, they still get a handwriting sample from the votes AND a DNA sample from the envelope lick

omg - Sunday evenings at 7.30pm the Branch runs its regular club net on the ‘690’ repeater. Listen on 146.900 MHz

JSON export via Mealie application of a recipe for Skillet Chicken Thighs With Broccoli and Orzo from the NYT Various details and properties of a structured representation of a recipe are visible.

use mealie for this, it's great

(mostly i just use it to make recipes legible but why not also for satire)

answering my question 3 months later, folks are on both but I see more presence and activity on Meshcore, "NZ narrow" preset

It's good

In the last week (and with a change to "NZ narrow" radio preset) team meshcore locals got connectivity from Ōtepoti to Waihopai - impressive!

One place these folks are gathering is the Make Stuff Dunedin discord (I think that's what it's called). Check the #rf-stuff channel there.

My kingdom for a NZ mainstream media that ensures the public are provided with nuance and caution and intelligence like this, instead of regurgitating whatever handouts they’ve been fed by government.

Especially when we’re told only 37% of the public trust the media.

Talk of relocation after string of weather disasters, Christopher Luxon says A storm has once again brought flooding and destruction, along with uncertainty and stress.

Well good, anyone know where he’s going?

considering a switch from Android to iOS and wondering if there's equally good adblocking in Apple land?

On Android, am using Firefox with uBlock and Privacy Badger (+ pihole when at home)

Three women stand on the left with lots of men in the right. The text below says, “SO LADIES, THANKS FOR BEING THE FIRST TO WITNESS AND REPORT THE RESURRECTION AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE?”

It’s time for my favorite cartoon of the year.

a printer collection goin on upstairs

Cool, I think my android update has killed the phone's ability to make calls or texts ... "Must turn off Aeroplane mode to make a phone call"

Thanks, Oppo / ColorOS / probably my fault right?

Go get your own oil says Trump

The Luxon Govt decided to hook NZ’s fate to that of Donald Trump. Now Trump has gone to war, crashed the global economy and told Luxon etc to go get their own oil. We need NZ (not US) peaceful foreign policy and NZ generated renewable energy.

Student journalists at Salient, Critic and others might want to dig into similar issues here at their universities.

From 60c to $5.79: Farmer says ‘someone is making a big margin’ as plant shuts McCain announces closure of Hastings plant a fortnight after Watties proposes closure of various operations

A HB farmer gets paid about 60c for 1kg of peas.

McCain sell that 1kg of frozen peas in a supermarket for nearly $6.

McCain still somehow loses millions and their workers lose their jobs.

This isn't a HB problem, so why must HB growers & workers suffer?

If you live in Greater Wellington and are looking for a nudge into cycling to commute, Switched on Bikes give a good deal on hiring an ebike. You can trial that commute with their gear.

I was a bit anxious about the hill climbs (I'm old...), but this proved I could do it!

THE FURRYFOLK ON HOLIDAY (1967):
Created in 1953, Tufty the squirrel became a 70s icon thanks to his road safety PIFs. But six years prior to those, this cinema short, presented by William 'Butlins' Butlin, taught kids what not to do at the beach...

no rocks for war crimes pls

This does smell weird but I absolutely rate it (and the adjacent wound cream). I was going to suggest but you had enough suggestions already.

Otoh you are badly burned and may indeed lose the whole limb idk
