I like this guy and ive honestly never voted

Say what you want, but this actually gets me interested in the idea of politics. Straight up never voted once and im over 40. I resonate with the black n white aspect of leadership, If i wanted ploys, maybes and feints I would have worked in corporate. I support this message haha. And we need more sensible people who arent just career ladder creeps.

I get that this is a minor thing but it probably frustrates a metric tonne of people that take that route and is a smal easy good vibes win with minimal cost to all parties involved. So it is good and a positive.

Weird/unusual things to do in and around Auckland?

Hello! I'm visiting Auckland for the first time from the US with my mom. We're 30F and 60F respectively.

When we travel, we like to find weird and unique things to do. Does Auckland have any odd tourist traps or unusual activities?

Aside from looking for vague "weird stuff," we're both avid readers and are looking forward to seeing new flora and fauna.

I'm also happy to hear about must-sees and must-dos for visitors, whether "weird" or not. I've never left North America & my mom has never been to Oceania. We'll be staying in downtown Auckland but will have access to a rental car.

Thank you so much!

I love south auckland!

I spent a bit of time around here as a kid. Out of necessity I came back from living rurally in australia and the south island for a couple of decades. I was REALLY not looking forward returning to the city. A year later I am enjoying the hustle and bustle, the culture, the diversity, the institutions. Don't get me wrong, I still long for the bush at times but am very surprised at how happy I am to call this whenua home. Rewa hard!

Koru, the world's largest sailing yacht, crossing the Viaduct Harbour on Tuesday — 22 minutes in a 50-second timelapse

Koru (127 m, three masts Jeff Bezos's) making her way across the Viaduct Harbour on Tuesday afternoon, roughly 3:14 to 3:35pm, before heading out west towards the Harbour Bridge. Sped up 26x so the whole crossing fits in under a minute. She's been berthed down at Wynyard since.

New World Smeg Stickers

Long shot, but does anyone have 3 spare Smeg stickers they aren’t going to use?

I didn’t think I was going to get close, but I’ve just realised I am only three stickers short! If anyone has a few spares they don't need, I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you!

Event bus for All Blacks

Coming up from Tauranga for the All Blacks v Wallabies game this weekend. Just wondering about the event buses, do they make stops along the way to pick up people going to the event, or is it just the one designated pick up point and you go straight to the event without stopping?
