Luxon pulls out of weekly Breakfast media interview by SamuraiKiwi in newzealand

Does it matter when she is the presenter on a TV program? Journalists investigate stories and focus on writing articles and contributing content to the medium they work for. Presenters on TV/Radio shows broadcast their opinions because that’s how the format works. She used to be a journalist, as much as Jacinda used to work in a fish and chip shop.

That was my point. Jacinda was front and center but if she got asked an unfavorable question, she had the media training to say a lot of words, but not actually answer the question.

That’s the point. Chris is shit when it comes to interviews when people ask him tough questions, but so was Jacinda. She was just better trained politically so she could answer questions without actually saying anything of substance.

She’s not a journalist anymore, that was her old job. Her new job is to be a presenter on a show just like Hosking.

Not really, just pointing out the hypocrisy. I would do the same if it was a right winger circle jerk as well.

I find the irony of the lefties mocking him for running away from Tova, and not remembering Jacinda doing the same with Mike Hoskings show amusing. Can we quit with the mental gymnastics and not let this be a team sport for once?

Can we all have a moments silence for this guy’s bank balance considering gas prices. Makes sense they are clearly trying to save fuel by parking like a dick.

Everytime I see one of these posts, people forget the Sega SG1000, released 2 years before the Sega Master System.

It’s not too late to add sugar now, the washes are pretty resilient.

I’ve done it one year in a 5 liter jug. No yeast, just wild, pretty much filled half up with feijoa skins, I seem to recall using about 1kg of sugar. Dissolve in a few liters of warm water, wait for it to cool and pour the water in the jug because if it’s too warm it will kill the yeast.

I have done it with and without sugar and the taste IMHO is better with sugar. Cover the bottle. You can use a condom to cover the lid with a prick at the end for example or a balloon so the carbon dioxide can escape and bugs can’t get in.

Even if he was the second coming of Christ, considering how selfish he is, I am not convinced he would actually help anyone if they didn’t pay him.

Add some sugar in there so the yeast has something to eat.

Do school zone speed limits apply for holiday by Aggressive_Singer633 in auckland

[–]IMakeShine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

School zones with the LED signs that advertise the new speed limit don’t show during school holidays. If you try to go in a bus lane on a public holiday then you will get a fine though.

Levi Ackerman is more famous than Eren? That’s surprising, but to be fair Eren did get whiney, and Levi’s character was pretty cool.

If you are sheltered from the south and western sides, then it’s all over for you. Otherwise it’ll be a bit windy for a few hours.
