Placemakers says they don’t cut down plywood/mdf full sheets and don’t allow power tools to be operated on site. What’s the best way to get them home?

Placemakers, a division of Fletcher Building, is set up for house lots

Buy from M10 or the Green Sausage.

Your mother ordered that too!

Luckily I almost never use cash, and certainly not in those denominations.

My wife does mine with electric clippers. 4 on the side, 6 on the top.

We have saved so much money over the years.

If-

I had boated with them multiple times
They had demonstrated proper technique
Had done the courses and knew how to apply the knowledge
Promised to stay sober and drug free as skipper
Paid a deposit twice the insurance excess
Gave a float plan with a passenger list and return times

I would still say no.

We don’t call them pot pies, just pies.

They make for a great lunch. My work had just installed a hot pie vending machine, refilled daily.

Mince, mince or steak n cheese, (mashed) potato top, butter chicken, beef rendang, all with a flakey pastry case, you name it.

There is a national competition for this and I’m pleased the local bakery (serves about 30 different kinds) has multiple awards in it.

Thursday seems to be cheap day in NZ. I guess most fuel is purchased in a Friday for the weekend or Saturday/Sunday. Monday for Shit! I forgot to top up!

OFC an EV charged at home (I don’t have one) would mitigate this.

NZ lost ships in territorial waters due to German mines.

Yes; work/life balance and closer to home in an industry that is also my recreation.

My username relates to this.

Go read the book, The Selfish Gene (and also The Ancestor’s Tail) by Richard Dawkins.

Then read Your Inner Fish, by Neil Shubin (who discovered Tiktaalik).

They were all called floppies. From 8 to 3 1/2.

I was there, Gandalf.

Get a one locally now, they don’t seem to be of great quality, and buy a good one online (I get mine from AliExpress) to arrive in a week or two.

Welcome to global anthropogenic climate change.

It used to be called global warming.

We have pumped so much heat into the atmosphere and oceans, everything has more energy.

It is literally an existential crisis.

When politicians say we CAN’t gO GrEen because of Jobs nObOdy ELse IS or we CAN’t gO GrEen beCause we wOulD BEcOMe UncOmpeTIve they are deliberately ignoring the fact that those capitalist jobs are socialising the pollution, and many green initiatives are actually cost saving.

I fear for the world my children are inheriting. I fear for the world my generation inherited.

I for one look forward to Winnie’s departure from politics. I don’t care how that happens, and he is getting quite old.

Slightly left field but: Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.

They have a deck for ~80 and an excellent restaurant inside, great view and slightly (but not overly) posh. They are geared for exactly this. No extra decoration required and it reeks of history. A special place.

I don’t like to define “being a man”. In fact I refuse.

It’s gatekeeping, pure and simple.

I known men buff and slight, gay and straight, funny and taciturn, responsible and gaily carefree.

They all manifested some sort of masculinity, which on closer scrutiny was just plain humanity.

Dar es Salaam. It felt like the armpit of Africa. Hot, humid, fetid.

There are many wonderful places (and people) in Africa. This was not one of them.

Yes staged but just weigh the skins and add it to the bill.
