L'affare wins WOAP burger for me this year
Burger is easily 9/10 if I'm being harsh and nitpicky. It is a great version of a smash burger.
At $10, it's 20 out of 10.

2005 Toyota Caldina 2.0 AWD auto (AZT246, 1AZ-FE) oil change and transmission flush
Hey all, multiparty question.
Oil change.
Can I do the oil change myself?
I know the oil is 5W-30. Is there any brands to get or avoid or all good to get the best deal from SCA?
For the oil filter, will any matching filter from SCA work fine or should I buy something specific?
Is a transmission flush something I can do myself or is it best done by a mechanic?

We have such a laughably backwards attitude with transport infrastructure
Watched this video https://youtu.be/Ho2luOd8JH4 about the engineering and efforts to connect up Norway and immediately felt sad about the state of transport infrastructure in NZ.
Rail infrastructure left to rot.
Inter-island travel is a joke.
Motorways are "too difficult".
We may be just two islands in the middle of the Pacific, but sure we can do better.
The current development of motorway connections in lower Te Ika a Maui is a good start.
The Auckland metro is going to pay for itself in decades to come.
How much cheaper would things be if we had better rail logistics?
How much easier would life be with better inter-island connectivity?
Is it an attitude issue that is holding back transport infrastructure in NZ?
Surely geography cannot be used as an excused for much longer (just look at the lengths Norway is going to overcome its Fjord coastline).
Is there too much NIMBYism and rent-seeking to keeps NZ from flourishing further?
How long will we let landlords and rich boomers dictate the quality of life that kiwis can attain...through world-class transport infrastructure?
I wish the govs spent more time and effort improving things than virtue signalling with "defining genders".
I wish we would push for better transport infrastructure through NZ, connect everyone everywhere.

Small Jet low over Welly and Kapiti
Anyone know what that low flying jet is about? Is it an event?
It seems to be a small 1-2 seater straight-ish wing green-yellow jet (-ish?) doing low maneuvers passing over Kapiti (coast and Island) and then heading south toward Welly.

<Edit to edit: Thanks to all for the updates! A lot of my questions have been answered. Loving >!Stingerquill!< as a name. >
I hope I have marked enough spoilers for the r/.
/fingerscrossed
Just saw the teaser image for >!Bloodline Recollector.!<
>!Card frame evokes Prepared formatting implying Strixhaven (or Hexhaven)!<
>!The mana cost of B and ?, plus Vampire Warlock creature type, plus red magical highlights in art could hint at possible black-red colour. So Hexhaven could be allied colours instead of enemy colours! !<
>!So could this black-red school be Silverquill-Prismari-esque in a sort of creative writing school!< >!How about Lightningquill? Or Firequill!<
Edit: I am trying to spoiler tag the text body of the post but am unsuccessful. Please help?

Do we know who is depicted counterspelling in [[spell swindle]] ?
Could it be [[Captain Ripley Vance]]? She is a pyromage in lore but she is red.
[[Captain Lannery Storm]] is also red. Unsure if she does any magic but she does a lot of treasure!
Does the colour even matter?
Or is it just some ordinary Brazen Coalition schmuck ala [[Timestream Navigator]], [[Slippery Scoundrel]], etc?
There's also some monkey goblin person there, behind the counterspeller, who could be [[Breeches, Brazen Plunderer]] or even [[Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer]]. Or probably just another regular goblin pirate like [[Rigging Runner]]?
If it's Ragavan there, could it be Kari Zev? But then Kari Zev is from Aviskar and the original Spell Swindle is Ixalan.
Who would Breeches be hanging out with apart from Malcolm?
