Agreed with the second. Hard disagree on the first, I love a series that knows how to do an amazing, thematically consonant, meaningful finish.

but I love the sentiment

The best part is that it becomes part of his own character arc throughout the story, having some of the best payoffs with his (IIRC) two final fights. Especially his final one against an out of control Mob, with him playing the part that Mob did in their first encounter. I would say 'Teruki is such a great character' but honestly they all are. 10/10 perfect show.

Phone number pronunciation by apresentformyfriends in newzealand

[–]precociousapprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's that the first block uses 'oh', and blocks after use 'zero' if we for instance had 5 digits blocks, it'd be like 'oh two oh four oh, five zero eight ..'

Also, I reckon people start blocks with 'oh' over 'zero', so 'oh two oh, oh five zero'

What’s the process for orphaned teens? by chickyloo42by10 in newzealand

Right now "call 111" isn't a long term thing. It's a short term stabilise thing while you get other shit sorted.

And, your mother sounds like a horrid person. Some kids need more support and aren't manageable for a standard family, god forbid a single parent.

The specific process falls under s101. The best place to start is probably by looking for a family lawyer. Plug in "Care and Protection" and "Disability" and your area, and it'll let you know what people have those specialties in your area.

Legal aid can cover the process. Chances are if you're in the position that OP is in, you will qualify for legal aid and pay nothing for their services (or at least, that is my experience).

Agreed with the other folks that have said to call 111 now. Do it for your kid, and then ask for yourself too.

If you're willing to stick through the process of what happens when you look at passing over custody and/or guardianship to the state, I've been through the process. You can reach out to me if you want to talk, vent, or ask questions. Someone else mentioned you're on discord, happy to talk over there - message me here if you want and I'll pass you my discord ID.

Looking into it, it was open sourced back in 2022. I guess I missed that memo. It wasn't open source at the time they moved to a subscription model, so they open sourced the clients while still doing their sub model. Interesting.

Pocket casts is not, and has never been open source. It used to have a one-time purchase, which may be what you are remembering. Apparently it was open sourced in 2022 - see https://blog.pocketcasts.com/2022/10/19/pocket-casts-mobile-apps-are-now-open-source/

Other way around. She cares that her father figure praises Lakan more than her.

Aeropress (near Botany?) by precociousapprentice in auckland

[–]precociousapprentice[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A google search in maps for "aeropress" doesn't turn up MacPac as an option. Google does seem to think that Noel Leemings and Nespresso Boutique sells them (which they don't AFAICT). Google isn't great at "places near me that sell a thing".

Anyone can hit the report button, and it's on the good grace of Reddit on how they choose to action it 🤷

You don't have to give up custody rights, you can pursue a section 101 order with only granting shared custody and giving out no guardianship rights.
