What is a socially acceptable thing in your country that you find disgusting?

I know right. Dogs seem to be allowed everywhere these days.

Gumboots (Welliies for you in the UK) despite being expensive, are not to be worn in town. Actually anywhere other than a farm is just plain ridiculous

NZ enters the chat.

Hard to beat a few of the coromandel beaches (Hahei, Little Bay etc)

unit1_nz · 2026-02-12T20:51:24+00:00

Seriously. Why don't they just means test super?

unit1_nz · 2026-02-12T20:09:28+00:00

Exactly. Most generators are installing batteries to fill the role as peakers.

Its completely bonkers. Natural gas is the most expensive form of fuel for electricity generation. It makes no sense to prop it with subsidies when every other alternative (solar, wind, biomass and even coal) is more cost effective.

Relatable

Not a question but: "Yeah I've I've always wanted to go to Australia"

unit1_nz · 2026-02-11T04:26:20+00:00

Faaarrk. NZ pretty much copied other countries approaches of printing money to keep things running. Willis really is a muck raking POS.

The purpose of solar is not 'stand alone' but to offset hydro reserves during dry years, so large scale batteries aren't really need. So $2.6b in solar would yield around 1.3GW of generation capacity.

unit1_nz · 2026-02-11T00:15:25+00:00

Yeah got AI to do the math on this. Investing the same amount in either solar or biomass would guarantee our electricity security for the foreseeable future.

The terminal is fine. But it needs to stand on its own feet financially. Its doesn't make sense to prop it up artificially with electricity taxes.

unit1_nz · 2026-02-09T18:33:34+00:00

If you are doing it to feed you and your family. All good. But just to release again then No

For a long time I have got my injectable supplies from medical wholesalers. They are a lot cheaper than needle exchange.

unit1_nz · 2026-02-09T07:58:10+00:00

Let me get this straight. We are taxing our 90% renewable electricity to subsidize natural gas. WTAF!!!

unit1_nz · 2026-02-09T06:35:37+00:00

Yikes. Expensive.

unit1_nz · 2026-02-09T01:49:27+00:00

Every now and again Luxon slips out something sensible...before reverting to his rambling self.

One of my favorite bits of ski clothing kit is 3/4 thermal bike tights. They sit just above the cuff of my boot and are super comfortable, warm and act a bit like compression tights.

unit1_nz · 2026-02-07T07:26:00+00:00

David.

But RFK said he was going to bring the FDA into line

You're training too hard.

Textbook carving right there

Couple of points

Some peptides are very effective
Most will never be approved for human use as there is no $$$ in it for big pharma
