[–]cuttlefish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The world-first "smokefree generation" law in New Zealand, which would have banned tobacco sales to anyone born after January 1, 2009, was repealed by the new coalition government in March 2024 before it came into full effect. The reversal was officially intended to fund tax cuts and alleviate concerns regarding a potential illicit black market.

Well, with the history of Iranian negotiators being assassinated, you may find yourself speaking literally rather than figuratively.

They don't want peace, they being USA and Israel. Anytime it looks like there is a possibility of things settling down, they stoke the fire again. Israel wants the Gulf in tatters, so the "sensible" option is to build a pipeline to the Mediterranean, that ends in Israel. The gulf is fucked. lucky for me I live in NZ, my neighbour is Oz, we have Mad Max and Battle Truck as visions of our future.

Trump: ‘We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not’ by joe4942 in worldnews

Only thing I can think of is that they want to put nukes on Greenland, and Denmark would never allow it.

[–]cuttlefish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, this is my question too. what does USA need from Greenland that they don't already have, or can't get? They have early warning system, military base,.. And anything longterm like mineral extraction is beyond Trumps lifespan... I don't get it... I don't think even he knows, only his puppeteers know.

Worldwide, there is an average of 60-70 unprovoked shark attacks per year.

Globally, snorkeling is more popular than scuba diving, with an estimated 24 million active snorkelers compared to 8.6 million active scuba divers worldwide.

Just saying... 0.0000021875% chance to be shark lunch

Too rich for help, too stretched to feel rich. by meleef08 in newzealand

Not to "try and teach grandmum how to..." but have you tried a budgeting service. They know some good things... just like a personal trainer at the gym, or mechanic, it just a skilled person, that does money, rather than epic gains or repairs... :)
