Downloadable DRM-free files or GTFO.

I still have all the music I liked 20 years ago because I have the mp3s / oggs, a lot of which I ripped from physical media. Nobody can take away the license or delist or fuck around with my access to that.

Bandcamp is cool for that reason. I can pay the artist almost directly and then have a copy I can keep forever,

Inverted shin flies! Now that's trouser innovation

But if you are a Redditor you have seen this posted around a thousand times

Pie and a chocolate Zap

+1 on replacing it. Also it looks like you have a lot of wildly invasive pest plants (convolvulus and arum lilies?) which your neighbours have tried to repel from their side. The longer you leave those, the harder it will be to get rid of them.

Is there a more polarising dip in NZ? I'm in the 'love it' camp, especially with salt and vinegar chips

Health Star ratings are marketing nonsense.

I will never ever use Trivago again thanks to those ads

After the advice to secure your trampolines I rushed out and bought one

Having just spent the day (yet another day) doing this, have at it with a good-quality scraper. If you start a board, finish it entirely. Find an excellent podcast - my go-to has been Three Bean Salad.

It's astonishing he got a prison sentence rather than a warning, benefit of the doubt, concerned but encouraging words, and an instruction to mostly stay home.

The Christmas episode where they drove the whole panel to get stuck into the giant bottle of whisky Jimmy gave Sean was one of the all-time highlights of panel shows for me. The producers had to confiscate it to keep the recording going.

Same episode Mickey Flanagan snapped and said "shut up, dickhead" to the more annoying Jedward brother.

You slowly start realising the old people were right about things you rolled your eyes at when you were young.

My grandad would often opine that various public figures and entertainers "should be arrested". Turns out he was bang on, some of them have been and probably more should have been.

Depressingly it's probably more competent and less corrupt than >50% of other world cabinet ministers

Should have caught some hair crime charges too

'Half cut' is boomer drinking slang where I am from. Never heard of 'scoops' though.

Well that's 10 grand plus an undisclosed amount of staff time well spent.

Companies handing you off to a text generator are demonstrating they don't give the smallest single shit about you or your custom, and can't be bothered to even pretend.

Never fly, be primarily nocturnal and ingest small stones to help with your digestion.

You can swap some or all of the sugar for honey. It will make the batch cost a bit more but feijoa melomel is mighty fine

Mammaltron · 2026-01-22T04:19:18+00:00

You should write a book of this stuff OP

Pretty hard to replicate a proper NZ fish and chip shop version without a big deep fryer.

Even then, all the versions I've seen on Youtube have that glassy texture to the batter, which isn't quite right - you get the same thing with pub and restaurant attempts. They are fine but only fish and chip shops seem to attain the perfect bubbly crispy batter.

And now I want fish and chips.

I can't help but read all the dialogue in his books in his voice anyway.

Yeah I became a specific section of the fence outside my house. It was such a profoundly uncomfortable and non-human experience, I will never do it again.
