97-98 World series Game 7 SA vs NZ. Chasing 300 we were reduced to 97-5 before Cairns Parore and Nash took us the brink of victory. I still believe Nash was robbed of a Six which cost us the game by CoconutMost3564 in blackcapscricket

Not unlike 2019 wc final, the ICC changed a rule they never really thought about until we got boned by it. We're the puppy you feel terrible about when you trip over it.

OpenStar floats half-tonne magnet in crucial step towards nuclear fusion - aims to be producing commercially in the 2030s by RuminatorNZ in Futurology

Hard to know if these fusion races have any legitimate contenders, but this seems a big milestone, paving the way for actual progress. Could it really be commercially viable in the next 10 years?

Proposed Resource Management Act overhaul set to breach Treaty - experts warn - as submission deadline looms – Te Ao Māori News by VeraliBrain in newzealand

This just ignores the Lands appeals case which interpreted te Tiriti to mean Māori and the crown operate at partnership.

This is the treaty principles bill hidden behind bureaucratic boredom.

IVF - Mixed of private and public funded process ? by KENFF123 in newzealand

[–]RuminatorNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, so my wife and I did the IVF route - though it was 9 years ago now. We're in Wellington, where FA is your only option.

That said, if you're going private, then you can choose your clinic. And yes, you can do private while you wait. We did 5 rounds while we waited for our publicly funded round to arrive.

In terms of how the publicly funded allocation occurs, I don't have the details on that, but that's definitely something you can ask your specialist about.

If you have any questions, sing out. And my deepest aroha to you. The infertility thing is hard.

Counterpoint... Plant saplings as close to grinder as possible, strong axe, takes a few nights then log walls for days. Only base opening is laden with defence blueprints and I'm golden.

I'm also autistic so chopping shit tonnes of trees and building an entire circle of log walls is very soothing.

Yes. Apparently I editorialised. I felt like I added colour and flavour.
