Even more fucked:

The girls were being held in juvenile detention on suspicion of murder and a prosecutor is trying to decide whether they will be charged as adults.

Adult Human Actually Thinks School Bus Brake Lights Are Satanic

Quote:

"Anyone who fears a God, if not God and Jesus Christ, should be outraged."

That's pretty nutty. Still, I'm glad she's not calling for the murder of the bus company employees or those of the manufacturers of the lights.

"Special Constable" is among dozens of Kiwi names rejected last year because they were too bizarre or offensive for newborns.

Internal Affairs declined 60 name requests last year, including "Mr", "Lucifer" and "Christ". One child was set to be called "3rd" before the proposal was vetoed and another narrowly avoided being dubbed "Royal-Rule". Five people were also knocked back for trying to name their offspring "/".

These are humans. Not novelty items, for gods sake!

That's a mighty funny smell...

/Looks out to the beach, sees a low haze as the sun comes up.

Hmmm.

Looks to the North and sees more near Bottle Lake.

Bugger.

That baby left in the car thing is pretty tragic. It's scary that it really could happen to anyone.

no.

"died suddenly" is made to sound painless. i'm not so sure organ failure is painless. why sugar coat reality?

Lightspeed · 22nd January 2015, 22:40

Aren't the terms are quite specific and carefully chosen? The less publicity and coverage the better really. We don't need to expose ourselves to every grating edge reality presents us with. There's not much pay-off in this instance.

i just put one of these in the hallway outside the boy's room

blown away by how this 5watt lamp is supposed to be 25watt equivalent but it seems much the same brightness or is doing as good a job as the old 75watt incandescent it replaced. It's certainly too bright to look at

Sperg standing in the hallway staring into the lightbulb. Yep, sounds about right. Thanks for the update, weirdo.

There is a Cicada outside my window, and it makes me think I should be making my way along a long grass lined high country river track, dressed in Kathmandu gear looking for trout to liberate with my trusty lure.

I think I need a day off.

My normal work day involves a lot of relational database work. Today, I get to try and jam in images of different sizes, dimensions and quality consistently into a piece of HTML content, lolz. Using the requested tables for the layout was a bridge too far though.

CCS · 31st January 2015, 09:32

If those stupid jews had just shown them some ID instead of being uptight jew types then they wouldn't have had problems.

If they'd just waited until the agreed time of 11.30pm to be let out, they wouldn't have had problems.

If they'd had a contact number to call the security guards to let them out early, they wouldn't have had problems.

In short: stupid uptight jews.

I see TV3 has given Patrick Gower a flash-guy haircut to try to make his appearance more acceptable for television. It hasn't worked though. He's still an ugly bastard.

blynk · 4th February 2015, 11:17

I know you can get a ticket if you drive down a clear lane of traffic with the intention of pulling in to skip a queue of traffic.

But what about people that drive down the free lane to a round about, then go a full circle around the roundabout to then exit.

On my way to work, there is a 3 point round about. 2 lanes going into it and the left hand lane always backs up. There are a lot of people that go into right hand lane and do over a full circle to exit.

Lightspeed · 4th February 2015, 11:37

Or the buggers who go into the straight lane, but turn left when the light is green, forcing people in the left turning lane to give way, rather than using the free left turn like everyone else.

blynk · 4th February 2015, 12:33

But I beleive that is an illegal move, so they would get ticketed for that.

My old route home had that, I was waiting for the day that the timing was right and I was just going to cut them off and have them hit me.
Unfornutately it never happened.

Legit move is legit, props to those people.

I see heaps of people doing the clear lane dash on the northern between Akoranga and Northcote, and even more do it between Onewa/Esmonde, or is that a different situation?

blynk · 4th February 2015, 14:05

I didnt really know what the rules of doing more than a 360 on a roundabout.

Maybe Im a dick, but I try and mess with the people cutting in. make it look like a gap in front of me, only to close it when they get there, and other things.
