With the world going to shit, it's important to find a release
I've loved watching Rakiura the KΔkΔpΕ and the chicks
Have also been enjoying the delightfully bonkers, but supremely musically talented, Angine de Poitrine
Absolutely crackers
There's literally about 10 people
Him and Seymour are the most dangerous MPs in the government
You'd be mad not to get an air to water heatpump if you're replacing your hot water tank anyway IMHO
SOLAR POWER POST
We got rooftop solar installed last Thursday, and I've already managed to change powercos from Mercury (yawn) to PowerEdge.
Tiny wee company, very un-corporate, actual humans signing emails (hi Toni, hi Roy!). And the highest buy-back rate on the market - 20c.
Let's see how it goes.
FUCK YEAH
Hope this is true and Labour have grown some bollocks

Couldn't Winston have covered that off when he went last week?
Mayor Stephen Jolly and Tory Whanau
Met Mayor Stephen Jolly of Yarra City Melbourne. Super cool guy whoβs going hard on public housing and green spaces. Heβs invited me to their next council meeting as they debate their latest cycleway corridor project. I know @miriammoore.bsky.social would be frothing πππ΄ββοΈ #nzpol
A 36-year-old fire truck broke down today responding to a fire in Waitotara. π¨
With Whanganuiβs primary MAN truck already broken, every appliance in service is now 30+ years old. Off-duty crews were called back to cover the gap.
One of the least surprising news stories ever
Iβve helped get 35 people enrolled in Roskill South over the last little while, with many more enrolled by our dedicated team of volunteers - including many first time voters!

Unless you want to occasionally have passengers in the back, because it's basically a two seater.
I looked at one and immediately discounted it

The 'targeted' relief wasn't targeted at all, just easy to administer with no effort via an existing vehicle (no pun intended)
This is a BIG problem in Aotearoa New Zealand too

@coldwarsteve.bsky.social did
When I chat to people about solar, I always emphasise that it's all about avoiding buying power from the grid
You buy for ~40c/kWh and only get a maximum of 20c/kWh selling
People get hooked on the idea of oversizing the system to earn money but it's rigged against you.
Why does Australia get David Pocock whereas we get all the fashy rugby dudes. This is so fucking gross, talk about pulling up the ladder #nzpol
Kia's EV range, very spendy
Kia are taking the piss with pricing now
The EV6 is now FROM $83kπ
I'd say that every EV model is, at least, $10k too high
This is a great contender
