Witnessed a crash between a little kids off-road motorbike and an innocent motorist.
As I'm pulling around I'm trying to work out what was going on and see one person pulling out another from the wrecked bike and no one yet assisting. Once I got there the driver of the bike had scooped up a little unconscious ~three year old with a bloodied face. As I'm on the phone with emergency services a nurse comes running up which was a relief I can tell you. The lady who must have been the driver of the car was staying out of it - don't blame her given the uncle's* distress. That was not fun and nor was directing traffic. I'd make a circular hand sign advising people to turn back rather than get trapped in the road islands but some people thought they'd be able to go on the wrong side of the road right on the intersection to get past. *I think I heard the guy telling the boy "your uncle's here". I'm assuming that the uncle was riding with the boy somehow on his lap, lost control somewhere approaching the intersection at late dusk and slammed into the side of the car. Hopefully the boy's OK. He came to after a minute or two and wasn't too keen on going into the ambulance

“The wifi cable is plugged into the hard drive.” I just had that on my last phone call. Yeah it’s too early in the day for that one thanks.

I blow my nose twice a day, once when I wake up and once before I go to sleep. It's been 5-6 weeks since I had a lumbar puncture(x10!) and whenever I blow my nose I can feel where they did the lumbar puncture. It's very odd.
That's my story. |

HENCE WHY FOREVER ALONE

Under MMP, if everyone (100%) voted Party A for their MP/electorate (say 72 seats), but Party B for their party vote... how many seats would we have in total so that Party B's representation was 100%?
Would we get 120 seats of B + 72 electorate seats of A? I don't expect that particular outcome of course, but I'm just wondering how it really works.

I assume that Party B would get 120 seats and Party A would get 72 seats.
So we would have a parliament with 192 seats. The 72 seats would be considered extra |

I don't know if that's the official answer, but it does lead me to suspect the "proportional" part is a bit skew-whiff. We're fudging to make up proportions, but as the extreme case shows, it's still not right. 100% party vote could lead to only 63% (a majority) representation, but still. It's the only system we've got.

Based on headlines, it seems the reporters may have been watching different games?
The Press : Annual grudge match between Christchurch rugby schools one-sided but mostly trouble-free. The Herald : Christchurch Boys’ High School v Christ’s College: Punches, homophobic slurs and abuse thrown at first XV rugby grudge match. Whilst the cutting barb "Your dad works for my dad!" is traditionally technically correct, the counter mention of "Syrup suckers" is grounded in more urban legend - although a previous teacher told me he was not allowed to discuss it under any circumstances. I guess the local reporter knew that kind of background, so focused on the rugger and the outcome, whereas the Aucklander may have been clutching at pearls. Meh. |

So on Friday I ended up in a noisy nightclub with a bunch of, like, thirty-year-olds, which I am most definitely not, and maybe it's being old or the post-COVID symptoms that I still have, but I realised I was past sensible drunk and everything was starting to be too loud, and I was just over it. And I looked at my watch to see if it was an acceptable time to bail, and got called out on it by the person I was sitting next to.
She: "You better not be thinking of leaving!" My brain: "Give a reason but try not to sound your age." My mouth: "I have to go and...." My brain: "DON'T SOUND YOUR AGE" My mouth: "...play Zelda now." ... Mission accomplished! |

The Guardian works too hard an angle for me. It's too often stuff I'd love to believe is true.
Indulging, it would be a party if someone did have alien vehicles stashed somewhere. It would mean we can throw out the Fermi paradox.

My number 2 son used his jiu jitsu skills while we were camping last weekend. I was keeping an eye out while two groups of kids were playing about when one of the bigger kids grabbed my son's wrist and formed a fist with his other hand. Number 2 son instinctively slipped out of the wrist control that the big kid had and got into the big kids face.
Big kid was surprised that number 2 son effortlessly slipped out of the wrist control and stepped up. |

Some ho in a beat up old Commy was following me not quite right up my ass but still fairly closely on my way home at lunch time yesterday. I live on a bend on a street and like to reverse into my driveway, so pulled over in advance of reaching the bend to let her pass so I can cleanly make the maneuver.
It's a move I've done 1000's of times before and I don't muck around when doing it. She sees me leave the curb of the road once she passes but then curiously pulls over and sits on the yellow no parking lines up from my house as I reverse into my driveway. From the way she's rubbernecking in her seat I'm guessing she thought she was in for some road rage or something? She's still sitting there as I walk to my front door and it's not till I get my keys out that I see her throw her hands up in confusion or whatever was going on in her crazy head and take off.

My brother died a few days ago. Had a brain tumor for 30 years. He suffered a fall due to him being wobbly on his feet and got a hematoma on his brain. He was put into a coma by the ambulance staff and as a result someone is now the proud owner of a second hand liver, and someone else has some eyes.

There is joy in this. Not now, and not yet. But down the track, the recipients may be touched by a sense of appreciation and thanks. And in that way, your brothers altruistic gifts will continue to have a positive impact.
Hopefully there is some solace in that. I'm so sorry for your loss. |
