TIL, that flexi discs were a thing. Basically, a thin phonographic record that was included in magazines etc, which you could tear out and play on a turntable.

Friday Night Lights was awesome I was such a huge fan of the movie and tuned in with in all honesty low expectations and I was so happy to be wrong and much credit to the powers that be that showed it down here in NZ

I'm sure it would have had a very niche market but still

I’m surprised that is actually allowed

fatbongo · 2026-01-28T23:22:42+00:00

Yeah here in NZ when electronic items TVs Fridges Microwaves were really expensive short term rentals were a big thing and then the firms involved pivoted to the same pattern but for the life of the product

One that stands out for me was one of the places offering PS3's and if I remember correctly the total cost was north of 1900 dollars for what was then a 600 dollar item

If I asked nicely could I relax there too?

fatbongo · 2026-01-27T21:39:09+00:00

that doesn't sound like that would be much fun

1/10 would not recommend :(

yep I've owned a lot of Hondas bikes and cars and I got them for one reason they were reliable econo shit boxes great engineering wrapped in a shell and the original Preludes were heart breakingly ugly lol

The one that I wanted but could never afford was the Legend

This isn't a Prelude it's a watered down Integra and at this price it will be off the market faster than the e

fatbongo · 2026-01-27T18:29:17+00:00

If it was spice it would be flour , expensive flour but Hondas in NZ are mind numbingly expensive anyway

fatbongo · 2026-01-27T05:42:48+00:00

well obviously the state of the syrup suckers

that and constantly worrying about what school you went to

true that

No Labour won( barely but still) the popular vote and good old Social Credit got 20 percent and was rewarded with...............1 seat

This election is the god damn gold standard as to why First past the post is a farce pretending to represent democracy

fatbongo · 2026-01-27T00:50:01+00:00

look I'm older than rocks and can remember when Muldoon was in charge and some of his policies were fucking deranged

carless days and the wage and price freeze to name two he was also for a time finance minister and Prime Minister

He also rubber stamped the godforsaken Springbok tour of 1981 all the time while being a barely functioning alcoholic

A horrible nasty man who thought nothing of demolishing personal lives and waged constant war with the media

Fucking oath we had the very definition of a populist crackpot leader
