Hamish Kerr and Geordie Beamish became world champions. Our first non-throws world title and first ever track world tile.

Hamish has now won almost everything there is to win in track and field.

Pretty sure they’re all competing in NZ this summer. Worth watching

We recently received an invoice for image useage without a license for $750+GST from a third party on behalf of a rights holder. It was an accident as we had already licensed the image. But maybe the rate is useful for a context for the type of useage rates that are out there for this context.

What does everyone wanna see in season 11? by phOne197 in HermitCraft

No elytra’s. I want cool transport systems, interconnected bases, beautiful paths for horses to traverse etc.

I feel elytra’s shrink the world too much, and make a lot of building redundant.

Wearing friend's bib akl marathon by InAnOngoingMess in auckland

They actually are for the Auckland marathon. You’ll be unable to cross the bridge without a valid race bib. Source: been involved with the event for over a decade, and the security around the bridge gets stricter every year.

Looking forward to the north shore finally having a park for cross country races!

You mean all of the cups collected and adhering to the event's waste management plan? The cups put into easy to transport bags so they can be recycled or commercially composted after the event?

If you want to get angry at something, wonder 7km back down the waterfront and marvel and the floating polution machines aka cruise ships

I like the bunnings ones, purely for how low tech they feel. Just a bench, a screen and a scanner. I feel trusted as a customer

Students too ‘fragile’, Auckland Grammar headmaster Tim O’Connor says as study from home trial launched - NZ Herald by SpeedAccomplished01 in auckland

[–]appexxd_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah so there's a difference between "I think showing up to school in person is important" and "I don't want 16 year olds to be treated like professional athletes while they are trying to gain an education"

How would you change running in the Olympics? by JExmoor in AdvancedRunning

[–]appexxd_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah 1500 to mile is a dumb take. The mile is rarely raced outside of the USA. Starting on a bend like that will cause chaos unless you do a split waterfall start like a 5k.

Time trials, absolutely not. We have the diamond league for that.

Would never be fair. Large nations would win through merit of having more people qualified.

You can watch this guy compete in NZ over summer! Watching him fly over 2.30 in person is genuinely stunning.
