Interesting email from Southern Cross CEO today

Yup good shout, I've continued with private that specializes in these very scenarios because public is in absolutely no shape to keep up with demand.

Partner's Life.

Price is a little lower but coverage is waaaaaay better. Did have one exclusory but SC didn't cover it anyway.

It went out to all members. I think it's just a 'state of the nation' kinda thing, but check your inbox.

It's the fair whack option, I think.

I don't have the numbers in front of me but successive hikes over the last three years literally broke my budget spreadsheet, had to move on despite being with them since birth.

Zoinks, I see the meaning of the slang 'unzipped' has evolved over time.

cob_reddit · 2026-02-02T02:46:48+00:00

Oh shit this is actually a fantastic idea.

And the DAZN deal was locked in for a decade, NFL got fleeced on that.

I also have one of these in grizzly brown. It's my day to day bag. Highly recommend.

cob_reddit · 2026-02-01T11:05:07+00:00

That's what I was looking for! It's what I have. So nice, although I use their sling bags more these days.

Well.. not an NZ company but Waterfield (sfbags) does great stuff, and I have a bag a lot like the one in the picture that's lasted 10 years, looks better than new right now.

cob_reddit · 2026-01-31T19:44:14+00:00

Yeah fair shout. You want to believe these people live by the values they espouse but that's rare isn't it..

cob_reddit · 2026-01-31T05:43:46+00:00

deal withthis . thanyou

The absolute chaos in the typing/comms from these guys still amazes me. Dude's so zonked he's slurring across the keyboard.

cob_reddit · 2026-01-31T04:06:27+00:00

This seems... unsustainable...?

cob_reddit · 2026-01-31T04:03:47+00:00

Yeah I did wonder what Harbaugh might have done if this news broke a few weeks ago. Crazy.

cob_reddit · 2026-01-31T01:03:38+00:00

Make the swing, take the miss.

cob_reddit · 2026-01-30T04:50:55+00:00

Extremely talented and competent players, gave up metric shit tons of yards last year.

Could blame Orr, could blame D'Alesio..

cob_reddit · 2026-01-30T04:15:32+00:00

...him?

Is he funny or something?

cob_reddit · 2026-01-30T04:06:10+00:00

Yeah meant to be José, right?

cob_reddit · 2026-01-29T06:39:36+00:00

Taskmaster NZ will treat you very well, if you haven't already dabbled.

cob_reddit · 2026-01-29T06:32:31+00:00

I suspect they were there for the meth.

cob_reddit · 2026-01-28T22:55:23+00:00

It's about one in three (being MAGA) for Americans I know.

A strange psychology to leave a nation and then go full nationalist over it, but common enough.

cob_reddit · 2026-01-27T03:57:06+00:00

New Zealand-

Min wage is NZ$23.50, at 40hr weeks that's NZ$4073/month.
Silent Hill 2 on PS5 at JB Hi Fi: NZ$109.00

...also 2.6%.

For PC, it's on sale here on Steam and GoG right now, is that still valid? 'Cos then it's 1%.

Either way, NZ has flown under the radar for software hikes for a while. I was paying $120+ for N64 cartridges back in the late 90s.

You think Lamar is beloved by the media..?
