You don’t have to buy garbage bags, you can just put stuff in the bin unbagged.

The heavier plastic bags do contain more plastic which I guess is arguably worse but they get reused and don’t get picked up by a slight breeze and wafted into the nearest waterway.

Second to Generation Kill.

The Department of Conservation is very good at controlling rats, possums and stoats. It’s harder to control cats (and dogs) because of irresponsible owners.

Not even ACT are foolish enough to challenge the might of the feral wallaby population

The Maori brought pigs and had farms. The “noble savage” trope is racist.

Many Kiwis came home from other countries during COVID and this bump in people leaving is partly just returning to normal.

If you’re in Brisbane at all go to The Scratch near the train station in Milton

I used to run Mumble for my Battlefield crew (probably Bad Company 2 I think) on a Nokia n810.

You did actually read something and didn’t just kneecirclejerk your response?

Did you miss the subtle subtext in the first sentence? Or do you not know anyone at all who was or is in the military? I only know two or three but still one of them cut off the top of his own head with a ceiling fan. Thats the level of decision making and impulse control you expect from sober young men in the military.

You can just say “yes”

Did you learn that in The Book of Strange New Things?

In much of the world most houses will have existing electrical wiring but no network cabling.

Gotta be getting team killed for a vehicle.

They’ll have to ask Australia very nicely to borrow a plane.

Or maybe their navy will ram a pacific island again.

A disturbingly large group think that history started on October 7 2023 and prior to that it was all sunshine and rainbows in the region.

Those people didn’t hear about 70ish years of Israeli bullshit on the nightly news so as far as they’re concerned it didn’t happen.

Stupid like a TOW missle.
