Christchurch central housing crisis - Wolfbrook seeing the tea leaves?

Saw this today, and I have to think they know it's a problem they can't stop now.

Bathroom cameras on blast

Louis Rossmann discusses the privacy implications of security cameras being installed within public school bathrooms. This exploration examines the normalization of student surveillance and the broader societal expectations regarding personal spaces, while reflecting on the lack of student agency in these environments.

I was unaware of this. Where did this land?

Speedometer font

Does this spacing bother anyone else? I just see eleven-one Eleventy-One every time...

Also for the record, it was a 110, not 80. Polestar reader fail...

EDIT: No this isn't the worst thing, but I couldn't not share. TNUM FTW. If you know what this means, we're vibing.

One Less Clown in the Circus - meme tribute to Chris Penk

Well Chris... I bet you wish you hadn't taken this photo of your political career...

Here's a tribute of memes for the numpty Chris Penk. He's someone who fashioned himself as reasonable, but in reality has always been in it to play for power so he could have a say in military affairs. Basically our version of Pete Hegseth.

Not to be forgotten, Penk was the guy who wrote a "book" about how the economy was going to crap out under Covid, and was disproven dramatically. The secret though was he wrote that book not as a way to justify his MAGA roots, but to also sell that book to his supporters "at auction" - which was the way that these backbenchers got around campaign finance regulations. Sure, he followed the rules, but he's a great example for closing campaign finance loopholes.

As he's effectively been fired and won't run, it's Adios for Chris Penk. He's probably off to fail up somewhere. My guess is he becomes a lobbyist for a military supplier, so he sticks around to make loads of cash.

2024 / Sigenergy V2H?

Hi all,

I've seen that Sigenergy says in Australia, they have some Polestar 2s that are being used to do reverse-charge / V2H.

The searching I've done says this isn't supported, but I'm doubtful that Sig would be faking it. AI searches tell me it's a hack by Sigenergy that tricks the Polestar 2 into a discharge mode.

Is there something definitive? Before I spend thousands on a charger attached to my home battery system, it would be good to find some reliable sources. I don't need the charger, but V2H is very appealing.

No fireworks ban?!

Can someone explain how this little thing that EVERYONE wanted got thwarted at the last minute? What a disgusting move. This was supposed to be an easy win for everyone.

The perfect NZ news headlines

In just one page, right next to each other, 1News has managed to encapsulate the problems of this country. How can the current government argue that there isn't a real cost-of-living crisis?

One World Government currency

I've been around long enough that I remember when it was a really big scare that there would only be one global currency. How is it that the same types of people who would perpetuate that kind of thing also end up being the ones pushing it?

Another Willis admission of failure.

Headline from 1nz with Willis saying \"We can't just stay still\"

"We can't just stay still" is a fancy way of saying she's screwed up so badly that she can't stick to the promises she's made about not cutting public sector services.

I am constantly annoyed by the fact she was ever handed the keys to the public purse. She has bungled the nation's money so badly she's literally saying she can't do what she'd prefer to do.

Someone get her out of this seat. What a miserable failure. And what an abysmal job Mr PM-CEO is doing to let her continue to flail.

I know when they replay games in the States, they don’t show the score of the game being watched. Or have they started?

It’s absolutely maddening to be watching a game and see the final score tick by. It makes me not want to watch. They do it on the NZ/AU channel without regard and I hate it so much.
