"Even so, the numbers are staggering. The section between Whangarei and Te Hana is expected to cost $15.3-18.3 billion, and this doesn’t include the cost of the Warkworth to Te Hana section which is expected to start construction next year and was most recently estimated to cost $2.9-3.8 billion.
Combined, that’s $18.2-22.1 billion – which is incredible for a road that for most of its length carries only 10-15,000 vehicles a day.
To put the cost a different way: if usage of the road more than doubled to 30k vehicles per day (which is more than most parts of the Waikato Expressway) over a 30 year span, that would still work out at nearly $70 per trip include the cost of operating and maintaining the road."
I don’t get it, removing bins and assuming everyone will carry their rubbish home? It’s happening more and more, and it feels totally counter-productive if the goal is to keep litter out of the environment.
I agree, I voted yes to legalize and believe it should be legalized. It wasn't the best comparison just the the first thing I thought of related to sentences for abuse of the drugs Act.
You're right; drug addiction should indeed be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal one. However, his sentence was for possessing a significant amount of methamphetamine (Class A) and drug paraphernalia.
I know people who received similar sentences for having only a few ounces of marijuana (Class C) for personal use along with a utensil, though this was some years ago.
I don't think its very common in the US but The pōhutukawa tree
The pōhutukawa tree is a special part of New Zealand culture, often called the "New Zealand Christmas tree" because of its bright red flowers that bloom in December. It’s seen as a symbol of strength and resilience, especially since it grows along rugged coastlines. For Māori, it has deep spiritual meaning—there's even an ancient pōhutukawa at Cape Reinga where spirits are believed to begin their journey to the afterlife. Plus, it’s great for the environment, providing food and shelter for native birds and insects.
It depends where you live, Here pay $45usd for unlimited 1Gb/500Mbps Fibre and it is truly unlimited (usually 15-20Tb a month) and $35usd for unlimited 5G tho it's throttled abit after 60Gb.
Folks, the oil depot in Proletarsk is burning, and it's absolutely fantastic! Tremendous flames, just incredible. Let's hope it keeps burning for a long time—some say it could be one of the biggest, most beautiful fires we've ever seen. And you know what? I'm all for it! This fire is doing great things, believe me.
I tried Linkwarden about a year ago and really liked it, but I chose Linkding instead because I couldn't find a way to add bookmarks on Android via 'share'. For Linkding, I used the 'HTTP Shortcut' app to achieve this.
Just actually looked into this app thanks to this thread. I always thought it was only for KDE, and I’m more of a GNOME kinda guy. It’s great, and now I have it on all my devices!
I don't hate Windows, but I find Linux a much more natural way to use my PC. I started with Linux in 1996 and have been daily driving different distros since 2010 on all my PCs and servers.
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how flexible and customizable Linux is. The open-source community is always ready to help, making the experience even better. For personal projects or managing servers, Linux is efficient and reliable, and I’ve grown to depend on it.
On the other hand, I've had to use Windows at various jobs and never found it enjoyable. The constant updates, 'bloatware', and lack of transparency can be frustrating.
While Windows is user-friendly and compatible with many programs, it often feels less intuitive and more restrictive compared to the freedom I have with Linux.
Each time I switch back to Windows, I’m reminded why I prefer Linux for both personal and professional use.
I saw this recently

You could try MindsDB — it lets you ask questions about your database in plain English. It’s open-source and you can self-host it too.
In New Zealand it would be classed as 'Sustained Loss of Traction' and would be illegal.
Under the Holidays act
Annual holidays
All employees become entitled to 4 weeks annual holidays (annual leave) after 12 months of continuous employment.
It was the live announcement url, Looks like they use the same url for other live broadcasts, I have updated it now.
I selfhost a copy of ladder
https://github.com/everywall/ladder
And just wrote a basic right click extension to prefix the url.
Not in any particular order.

Thanks, I don't use chrome either, I wonder if I can use 'http shortcut', I should look into it.

I will check out the update
I'm unsure why but It used to be the same here in New Zealand, most butchers seem to have transitioned to panko breadcrumbs now.
The only place i've seen this in the last few years at the cheaper butcher chains like 'The Mad Butcher' and the one in my link below.
I think OP is talking about this.

Edit.
This image from 'The Mad Butcher' includes the breading ingredients.
Any Brother Laser printer really.
