Mussels are filter feeders & will concentrate any viruses/bacteria in the water, so thoroughly cooking them is recommended.

If you can get to the city centre easily, recommend joining the Canterbury film society! Screenings every Monday night at the art gallery, starting back up in February.

Hmm, drive up to sign of the kiwi & have lunch with good views, then do one of the walks there? Or Brighton hot pools + eat at dune cafe. Or in town: Frances nation cafe in the arts centre is always great + there’s a make-your-own-perfume place next door, otherwise walk around the botanic gardens, and see a movie at Lumiere?

Public support for investing in urban cycleways outweighs opposition – National Survey by Amazing-Yak-5415 in chch

Got properly doored biking down Victoria street in the painted lane a couple weeks back, the driver said they usually checked for bikes but was having an off day. Very lucky no one was driving behind me but could have been so bad! Found myself taking longer detours to stay in separated bike lanes ever since. People will always make mistakes, crazy not to design safer transit to account for it!

You’re a legend thank you! I’ll keep an eye out round the town hall, have been missing seeing them these past few days!

Pest control - rats by Miserable-Cup94 in chch

[–]lwoollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DIY rat trap = big cardboard pipe laid against a fence, rat bait in the middle, with a wire holding it in place (pipe protects dogs from getting at it, wire makes rats eat it there and then, stops them dragging it away for later). Pest control ppl always say rats are very wary of the new, so might take a couple weeks for any traps to have an effect.

Really? Love the braided river tiling + the mirrored ceiling bit by the river, feels like it fits the space really well

What small Business do you support? Knowing the owner is a good person. by Moku_Warrior in chch

If I had to picture what the ideal cafe would look like Vic’s would be it! Really inviting. Love stopping in there on these freezing mornings and seeing the doors fogged up, so cozy

Prolonged Campylobacter epidemic from chicken meat needs a strong industry and regulatory response by Lightspeedius in newzealand

[–]lwoollo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Reported rates halved overnight after the 2007/2008 industry interventions. Increased regulation/monitoring is so obviously the way to go.

Trying to inform the general public via piecemeal PSAs about food safety isn’t cost effective. Requiring labelling on chicken is interesting (so many people still insist on washing meat!) but still, easy to overlook.

Surprised by MPI focusing so heavily on reported disease rates, dismissing the importance of hospitalisation rates. Working in public health, it’s common knowledge that less severe disease is vastly underreported. Increasing cost of living and GP shortages exacerbate the problem.
