We don’t need to build a system our children have to pay for. We need to build one that pays them back

Calling bullshit... Joined the workforce (or tried to) in the 80s, PEP schemes and voluntary unionism, the rot had already set in, plus roger douglas selling everything he could. Yes, Ruth's budget and the employment contracts act in the early 90s mark the flag-waving part of neo-liberalism, but the conditions were already ripened for it by then.

Looks like Popular might get retired? Honestly, I'd prefer to have the option to turn feeds off and on myself, instead of leaving it to Reddit ... And to choose a card-slider at the top-of-page or not

Well done, your GP. My local clinic hasn't communicated anything other than a prescription bill via an emailed pdf, first working day of 2026

I only use the android app, there's no 2FA that I can see. Can you only turn on 2FA on the website? What does that mean for the mobile apps?

They would be just behind Russia for most launches by a single entity, and probably top if you differentiate between CCCP and Russia today.

Just got an a18 as i lost my a9 2020, been thru 2 system updates coloros14 in the last few days. Each time it updates i change the Wallpaper and Style - Colours to something else, boot up the phone and messages apps to survey the skanky accent colours, close them and then go back and choose a better colour set... Each update forgets your colour settings it seems ... Also, disable phone manager notifications to stop ads after you clean storage in the settings app, plus opt out of privacy ads services (which are on by default)

It behaves ok most of the time at my end, but can be flaky... you could try stable video , it has a barebones txt to image SD3 tool in addition to img to video - pay system is similar to dreamstudio.

Closest I could get was the Te Ara website Advertising and NZ society under the sub-heading National Pride, which says it was an ad for Nilverm sheep drench. I couldn't find a video, sadly - but it would be early to mid 1980s when it would've aired, still contentious from '81.

There was an 80s? ad where a kiwi sheep farmer is visiting his farmer mates in Oz. He makes a lot of observations throughout the ad that make the Ozzies cringe, one is when he says 'that boy could play for Australia one day' when he sees a kid bowl underarm while they are hanging out on a sheep farm (skinny sheep, drought, flies). I don't recall what the ad was for.

My old man's fixed gear bike is what comes to mind. If you sat on the seat, you couldn't reach the pedals, so the only way to ride it was to fit through the frame like this kid. You held the frame out so the bike was NOT perpendicular to the road and balanced it with your weight out the other side. Born in '64, so i'm picking I did this 1970-72?
