This needs to be in every oncologist's office.

the diagram on the left is nearly impossible to understand, but I like yours on the right. Tell me, how did you decide on the colour coding for your display? Red typically indicates danger, but what sort of danger is indicated by red-level KE? Thank heavens for the Wayback Machine!

That's one hella trippy Rorschach test

Thanks! I grew up in Dunedin, and I do recognise the general 😍 beach aesthetic of that area. Of course you'd be out of your mind to swim there without some quick way to restore body heat.
Measly? Settlers feeling a bit ungrateful that day, it seems. I'm sure the Māori name is much more poetic.

Love it! Especially that ole' Rabbie is in on the action. pure dead brilliant.

I agree totally about the problematic of finding that balance. Victor's story is moving, an outrage, and a disgrace. That he was ordered shot by his fellow NZ soldiers is an awful detail in this deep injustice, which demands to be righted.

Agreed. That sort of 'New Zealander' barely ever thinks about their ethnicity. Because they don't have to. Nearly everything's made with them in mind.

I knew it! too beautiful. Which beach, though? So expansive and inviting.

Looks just like a #NZHellhole post, even if it's not NZ.

The guy is such a tool. That is, of both industries, and in the plainer sense of the word.

Puzzling

Yes, it's disgusting. And yet, when first Europeans arrived, the term "New Zealanders" unambiguously meant "Māori".

That is troubling indeed, as are the pictures of the plane once at rest. I don't see a nose wheel, and the plane appears to be resting on its engines. Am I seeing things?

They'd vote for him even if his head became gangrenous and fell right off. Not that I'm body shaming. That could happen to anyone. Besides, what does a baby know about real estate and tax dodges? A baby is clearly of no value compared to a great US president, probably even the greatest ever. /s

Only as stupid/smart as the people who program them, sadly. And in this case, most likely they get instructions from the managers who don't want bad publicity/legal exposure for allowing salty language to be issued by their products.

Low mood? I'm sorry to hear. It's painful, it stings, and it paralyzes. Feel better soon.

Well, either way, it was going to be the actions of an CNZM of cuntiness, and I'm really sorry you are having to go through this. Experiences with unreasonable landlords are among the most stressful situations I've experienced; and I'm terminally unwell. AH LLs are the worst.

Not to mention botched beheadings, as with Mary, Queen of Scots. That was shocking. After two blows, a bit of her head was still connected to her body. Third time lucky. Only her dog was loyal to her.

Absolutely. Don't forget being drawn behind a horse through town after being hanged, and before being cut in four.

It's sometimes been said Edward II was killed by hot poker in the butt. It's all equally bad.
It's no real wonder high-ranking Nazis carried cyanide pills with them in the final days of the war, to avoid what they knew the Russians were going to do with them.

I completely understand the rage. GRRRRR. I may have misinterpreted this, so ignore my other replies if so. Do you mean LL is turning PART of the flat into an AirBnB, or kicking you out so LL can turn WHOLE flat into an AirBnB?
comment in response to

Those AirBnB transients aren't filtered or chosen by you, and could look or sound dodgy in a way that you wouldn't accept them as tenants. You want to make sure they're not going to attack you or steal your stuff. I think it's completely inappropriate, and at the very least you need rent abatement.
comment in response to
post
Sounds a lot like that would breach tenancy law. I'd get advice from the Tenancy Tribunal. I presume you rented the whole property, for your exclusive enjoyment, so it's bollocks you should have to pay full rent while AirBnB tenants are there. Plus it's a safety/property issue....

Goodness gracious. I don't want to know what sort of butterfly he's going to become. I think we've identified the caterpillar, though: www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

It's a sin not to see that film in your teens, at least once.

"InSinkErator™ disaster" are two words that strike fear into my quivering heart. They also make me realize I watched too many horror films in my teens.
Sorry to hear about the bad chef night. We all have our moments of glory and shame.

Oh no. I hope you feel better soon! Heartburn is so unpleasant.

Sadly not. I fear they were born this way, galvanized against anything collective and wonderful.

Absolutely! Though I think they'll find solace in that there are already parts of Auckland CBD, especially at busy intersections, that already exceed certain WHO air quality standards. They won't be resting on their laurels, of course.
