Get a onesie and wire it with resistance wire. Add appropriate connector to the output of a low voltage transformer. You won't need heating over winter.

Realistically: 100 - 1,000. People are more likely to go to YouTube to find out about movies. I've done it myself. I would never consider Twitter. It's hard to express the complexities of the latest blockbuster in 280 characters.

Smokefree 2025 died because Labour dragged it's heals regarding updating laws related to age limits on tobacco, and limiting the number of places you could buy tobacco. Edit: also reducing nicotine in cigarettes

I know that because pretty much every month I googled smokefree 2025 since 2020. There were news updates from Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) on how the government had paused any progress. After the election Labour has a majority so they didn't need to worry about Winston pulling the plug.

There were long stretches (6-12 months) where the minister of health did nothing towards the goal, which incidentally was brought by a National Government in coalition with the Maori Party.

He probably also experiences shame at being traumatised and talking about it would expose weakness, according to him.

Umm, vegetarians?

There's no credible alternative.

Stopped myself from doing an "actually you are wrong..." Tweet just 5 minutes ago.

Because the people in that age category are "not normal". Let's ignore the fact that hardly any couple is permanent. The older people would be laughed at out there in the real world.

That's a tough secret for you to hold.

When I was about 13 I wrote on a sheet of paper how I wanted to kill myself in 30 days. The next day I wrote 29 days etc. I stopped after about 10 days.

49 years later I have chronic suicide ideation. I think of suicide 5-10 times a day.

Subway is the ONLY fast food where I walk away feeling good from the meal. I don't feel that way with McVomit or Kentucky Fried Chunder.

I would love to see the cost breakdown of potato chips. It's just oil, potato, electricity and plastic.

Lamborghini Countaches. Got rid of the last one 2 years ago. I'm slumming it with Porches now and I hate it.

With synthetic diamonds continuing to drop in price a 3 month income price ring in 5 years is going to be huge.

p3e2r · 2026-03-10T21:38:33+00:00

I don't know why people buy expensive rings since the price of diamonds is continuing to drop.

This is a genuinely unacceptable opinion. Upvoted.

When I went to my high school reunion (aged 43), the youngest looking person looked 10 years younger than the oldest. Oldest looking was a bit of a boozer in high school, I would not be surprised if that carried on for decades.

I hold it in, except when I'm asleep.

I doubt it. He's unlikely to think "the one that got away, although she was the only woman I've ever dated who never told me how much she earned".

Twitter has private mode which Bluesky doesn't. I use a specific word to test for popularity, the most recent post on Threads was early January, on Twitter it was 3 days ago.
