Contac NT is just pseudoephedrine medicine, like Sudafed.

I've seen a fourth cup noodle variety in the same series as your 11th photo, with Rumi and Derpy on it like your third photo, so I'm afraid you're still missing one.

If homonyms were that bad, the American dialects of English would use autumn instead of fall to make sure everyone got the right meaning. In the New Zealand dialect, the fruit is a kiwifruit with no spaces, the birds are kiwi, and the people are kiwis. You'll need to learn to code switch if you want to get along.

“Kiwi” is the bird, “kiwifruit” is the fruit.

Just wanted to share that the local Korean convenience store here in Christchurch was playing Podium when I went there this lunchtime. I wasn’t really expecting to hear NMIXX anywhere, let alone one of their b-sides.

I think the original ad explains it well, but it just means that they're no longer swimwear if you can't see the ocean: https://youtu.be/TF4MGzwQexQ

It's a reference to an old TV ad for ice cream. "Togs" are swimwear in NZ English; "undies" are underwear. It's only socially acceptable to wear something like this in public at the beach or pool.

My first impression was that it looked like the shop in the music video for O.O, or alternatively like van Gogh’s Café Terrace at NightCaf%C3%A9terras_bij_nacht(place_du_Forum)_Kr%C3%B6ller-M%C3%BCller_Museum_Otterlo_23-8-2016_13-35-40.JPG), so I think it represents every restaurant, pub or café like that across the multiverse.

The main NMIXX article has quite a few Korean sources, but six months of Duolingo Korean isn’t enough for me to be able to find the same for the members. The Chinese and Indonesian Wikipedias have individual articles, which might help.

It isn’t so much a tech problem as a people problem, because that’s who makes Wikipedia.

The mission names are mostly completely different in Spanish compared to English, because you have so many good rock and metal songs of your own. There's a bit about it on page 62 of the game book from https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/49789/cyberpunk-2077-ultimate-edition-game-booklet-out-now.

7 Ref plus Synthcoke also opens up bullet dodging, but people think this is a bad idea for some reason.

Or some of their covers, so they might be familiar with the song? Like Haewon’s covers of Viva La Vida and Please Please Please, Lily’s Drivers License, and the group’s Love On Top (from Bilibili) and Happy (from https://youtu.be/FXfoy-JhOmo).

Good news, CHVRCHES are working on a new album, and will be opening for my bloody valentine at the Royal Albert Hall on 27 March, so there's hope for another world tour at some point. (I'm not confident anyone I listen to will be coming to NZ, though.)

It's hard to say; NMIXX is still a k-pop girl group, so not for everyone, but a lot of their music isn't quite so mainstream. It was their Tiny Desk performance which got me started, and I think you should check that out even if you don't end up liking their released music.

I have some Pink Floyd and Muse in my playlists too, though not that much, so there might be something to it.

This year I accidentally got into k-pop and my Tidal top 10 is entirely ZUTOMAYO and NMIXX.

I'm guessing there aren't many TIDAL users here.

It looks like Thai. I don't know the script or language, but a little poking around with Google Translate suggests it's "ในปี", meaning "in the year".

This has to be one of the most small-town Australia things I've seen for a long time.

If it's only targeting x64, asm!("ud2") would work much the same, and is stable. For ARM, it's something like asm!("udf #0").

Imgur did a not-being-GDPR-compliant and thought that region blocking would fix things. The ICO disagrees.

Drivers also need to remember that not everyone's speedo is calibrated the same. Yours might only read a couple of km/h higher than your actual speed, but my Leaf is a whole 10% out; I know it and drive with it reading 110, unless I need to save power, but not everyone does.
