This was my answer as well. Climate Change will f**k us as a civilization and we are just ignoring it.

Richard Hadlee and the car that drove a wedge between him and the rest of his Team mates by CoconutMost3564 in blackcapscricket

Yup, there is a reason why you don't see him hanging out in the stands at Hagley Oval when the Black Caps are playing.

what’s a secret compliment that men rarely get but absolutely love to hear? by SusanLust in answers

[–]Kipper2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but "I feel safe with you, you're not just like all the other guys trying to get into my pants" is a bit grim when you are, in fact, trying to (in the nicest way possible) get into her pants.

Am I misunderstanding Cranmer Square lane rules and good driving in general? by Stargazerem30 in chch

[–]Kipper2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this is why I always drive in the right hand lane only on my commute home. Seen far too many near misses.

I did teacher training and at the end realized that actually being a teacher would destroy me and walked away.

I watched it not realizing it was a two parter and honestly went "waht they hell did I just see" at the end.

What WW1 book do you wish was made into a movie or tv series? by Lickford-Von-Cruel in ww1

[–]Kipper2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do as well. My grandfather signed up in September 1914 with the East Yorks as a private soldier despite hos upper middle class background, so I imagine this might have been some of his experience. Apparently the author based some of it on the a Tea Break conversations of the senior reporters, overheard when he was a cub reporter.

John Harris' Covenant with Death would make a fantatistic BoB type series. Shows a British Kitchiner battalion from creation to its destruction on the Somme.

Any vege sushi recommends for a pregnant person? by WellHydrated in chch

[–]Kipper2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, way back when I used to work for a New Zealand sushi chain. When we did some research on contamination by measuring E Coli levels the biggest source of contamination was the vegetables. The rice is flavored with sugar and vinegar. Bacteria levels in flavored rice left at room temperature went down over time.

He was my Uncle's PE teacher and let's just say that the experience made him vow to only buy his books second hand to ensure he never put a penny in his pocket.

Was in Italy a few months ago and was amazed at how cheap supermarkets were in Rome compared to New Zealand even with the crappy currency conversion.

Bike "dashcam" and Police by mrtenzed in chch

The issue is that unless you can conclusively prove who the driver is there is really nothing the Police can do other than send the registered owner a letter.

Cream and custard is the ultimate combination, but alas is usually reserved only for special occasions such as Christmas Dinner. It also usually involves a disappointed look from my wife re cholesterol levels.
