I saw that news, very cool!

Other news I saw was two kiwis deciding they wanted to permanently reside in Thailand. Damn fools.

Just in case those names ring a bell at all.

Retired Hamilton multi-millionaires Laurence and Katrina Day say Governments should be forced to listen when the public speak via referendums and they've given $675,000 of their own money to Colin Craig's Conservative Party's election campaign in support of that belief.
So I'd say the brothers didn't have the most humble upbringing.

If that's really the case, then it's a decision that spared us hardship while also dealing with a pandemic of unknowable consequences, to be managed during a time when that crisis has passed.

I don't think that's actually the case, but if it were, I think spreading out the consequences of a pandemic rather than facing them all at once was the better choice.

These days that's not really sarcasm. Hamilton is looking more and more like the place to be.

That's very benevolent of the govt to tax the people. What's even more benevolent is that they haven't adjusted the income tax brackets on the devalued dollar. Much aroha, much aroha

What's worse is that you're right. That was caring of the government. To the outrage of those who just wanted to cash in on the crisis.

Sovereign citizen jailed for disruptive behaviour in court

Quote:
A Nelson woman has been sentenced to 21 days in jail after treating a judge with “disdain and disrespect”, causing the judge to fear losing control over her courtroom.

Judge Jo Rielly told Megan Gordon that she had been repeatedly asked to stop interrupting at the Nelson District Court on Thursday.

Gordon was directed to leave the court, and to speak to a lawyer.

After returning to court, she went on to accuse Judge Rielly of “lying and embellishment”.

Gordon spoke over the judge, addressed her by her first name, was “disrespectful and rude” to Rielly, and was taken into custody because of her disruptive behaviour.

To lay hands is assault, and they know it.

I'm not saying she's in the right, or agree with her approach, but it's a completely valid course of action, and does delay the inevitable.

As soon as they're making you do things you don't agree to, they're on shaky ground and they avoid it at all costs.

Kids: just accept when you've made a mistake, it makes life easier.

I got stuck watching Long Beach Griffy

From his Down Syndrome skit I watched loads of his content.

He's got wild takes on so many things. I like how he doesn't give a fuck. He gets the black pass. If you criticize him you're racist.

There’s a difference between “I know the rules and now you know that I know the rules” and “I exist outside your rules”

How much coffee is too much?

I'm 4-6 cups a day of sweet sweet nespresso goodness or Mocka pot coffee

If your body is telling you that you need a shit, but all you can muster is a disappointing chunk like an empty soft serve machine, that's too much coffee.

i usually have my first cup of coffee after lunch, and i might have another one at 3pm. this is all very recent

i used to drink coffee, then i noticed that i always had sweaty right arm pit, so i stopped. recently i started again, pams instant or whatever work buys in the largest most budget container, but now i just do half a tspoon of coffee, i don't sweat anymore

6 will probably head towards adrenal fatigue, 4 is probably where you'd want your limit to be. but you're one of the more successful people i've ever known, and if it takes 6 cups of coffee to get to where you're at, then maybe more people should drink 6 cups of coffee. obviously it's not at simple as that, lol ;p

Normal for me is one straight after getting out of bed, one either en route to work or just after arriving at work, one mid-morning.

The research I've seen over the years suggests coffee is good for people it's good for, and bad for people it's not. 🤷
