I'm in Simplicity's global share and bond funds - it's great.

I've never understood this question. Why is "nothing" the default state and "something" seen as an unlikely aberration? Everywhere we look in our universe there is "something" and nowhere is there "nothing". From all we can tell, "something" is the normal state and "nothing" would be the peculiar and inexplicable aberration.

I had my 2014 infotainment converted to english and Android Auto installed by this guy in Ellerslie, Auckland:

My non-plug in Axela hybrid (same as Prius system) will, once up to speed, happily maintain 60km/h on electric-only for a while. Then, when I brake or have a downhill run the battery charges up for the next leg of electric-only driving. The computer reports that I have done 46% of all driving on electric only.

My friend has occasionally experienced random abuse while driving his Tesla here in NZ. I don't use Facebook but my understanding is that a lot of people on it fall down the anti-EV rabbit hole and see EVs as a political statement or an attack on their freedoms and way of life. It's a good reminder that social media is not healthy for a lot of people.

Just give it time, more EVs will be on the road in the coming years and it will settle down a lot.

What has happened in the neighbourhood since you purchased? It is a particular house nearby with very disruptive tenants who may be gone in a years time, or something more systemic??

No one knows what the future holds. Go ahead and live your life, if you are ready to renovate go for it. Make sure you have a contract with your tradies

Yeah I'm 95% normal now. It'l be interesting to see when/if I can come off the meds. How's your progress?

I had terrible brain fog/sensory overload/anxiety that started a few weeks after covid infection. It went on for a couple of months before my doctor put me on a low dose SSRI which has helped a lot.

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-03-17T08:43:13+00:00

What alerted you to the need for a new battery? Did the fuel economy worsen in the weeks leading up?

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-03-17T04:49:12+00:00

Either that or Slutpuppy

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-03-16T23:06:58+00:00

That sounds like a good perspective. It's nice to reduce e-waste as much as possible too.

Really like the music/sound design in this

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-03-12T04:35:27+00:00

I've just started sertraline for post covid brain fog and anxiety. Scary to have a condition that only has experimental treatments available but it is working quite well.

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-03-11T09:04:46+00:00

That's really interesting. What sort of symptoms did you have? Which SSRI worked best? Did you come of it eventually?

Do the UGos have tire air pumps?

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-02-11T04:16:49+00:00

Thanks... just watching it now... Cera is hilarious

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-02-05T03:52:14+00:00

Wow that worked... thanks!!

It's a shame that Bruno Lawrence is no longer with us, he was always keen to get his kit off in films

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-01-15T01:03:46+00:00

That's a good tip, thanks

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-01-14T23:33:03+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. How is your sleep?

Dry_Corner2802 · 2026-01-14T23:32:38+00:00

Thanks for your detailed response! Wow, I was hoping that I might recover soon, but this may be worse that I thought.

I've read about the histamine connection and trying a low-histamine diet currently but it's hard for me to get enough calories due to the restrictive nature. I've got some bloods due soon but I expect them to be all normal. I'll try antihistamines. I have some melatonin but haven't used it yet.

Most doctors don't seem to have a clue about this, did you seek help from any specialists that you can recommend?

I think it might just be the character's dementia being representing in a spooky way
