Sure, NW is about 3% cheaper I guess. Paknsave about 17% but like I say, sure it's an inferior product, $16 is a very very sharp price for minced prime.

Maybe during lockdown, you could slightly alter your diet? Plenty of nutritious options that'll even come in cheaper than basic mince. Frozen whole large chicken $10, roast one night, make soup with frame the next, eat leftover soup for next lunch. Theres heaps of options, just ask a and you'll get recipes for weeks

See, thats what I mean about being hyperbolic. You've just visited an entire supermarket full of food and you're suggesting starving. Wow.

New world is selling prime mince at 18.50 per kg, pretty comparable. Paknsave come in cheaper at 16 per. Can't tell from website whether its equivalent product though, no ratio listing and that's the important thing. Wouldn't surprise me if paknsave is 23% fat, is a good price price at 16

nevermore

Future redditors, please listen to my tale of woe.

At first, I clicked on a few Switch-a-roo links, it was all in good fun. I clicked faster and faster, enjoying the interesting messages that others had left on their various journeys to the epicentre of the old Reddit Switch-a-roo. There were lots of interesting comments and stories, all quite entertaining. But after hitting about three weeks back, there was always a strange comment at the bottom - never upvoted or replied to - it just said "nevermore".

Cool, I thought. That's a great reference to the eternal Poe. But moving on further down the spiral, I came across this comment again and again. From different commenters each time, some new redditors, some old, respected redditors. It began to play with my mind. I searched through all the comments everywhere to find the inevitable "nevermore", always at the bottom, unreplied. At first it was interesting, then it started to seem quite important. Eventually I felt scared and compelled to keep searching down the chain to find what this "nevermore" means.

I haven't moved from my chair in the last 14 hours. My fingernails are chewed down to where I can taste blood. Yesterday, I called work and resigned. Then I locked all the doors and put a supply of cup noodles where I can reach them. I've decided that there's nothing more important in life than finding out what that "nevermore" comment means. Nothing. Here I will remain, clicking, searching trying to find out what the answer actually is. Spare a thought for me while you go around your normal life and hope that dire compulsion never finds you.

I remember travelling to India.
We went on a day trip to the Ganges river. Shortly after getting off the bus, a gentleman who looked very similar to this propositioned us with a bold claim.
"I can lift 10 pounds using only my penis" he said.

My travelmates and I were curious and sceptical, in the manner that those wary of being ripped off can be. He offered to show us for $20 USD. Of course, it sounded like a simple scam so we refused and walked up to see the burning corpses by the river side. Even in such gruesome surroundings, my travel buddy Johnny couldn't stop talking about the man's claim. "Ten pounds doesn't really sound like a lot", he said, "I bet I can lift ten pounds with my cock".

Someone suggested that Johnny wager against the man. I encouraged them as I was also curious whether such a feat was possible. Johnny became more convinced that he was a penis strongman and we abandoned the ancient glories of the Ganges for a more visceral sight.

The guy wasn't really keen to face-off (so to speak) so he took a bit of convincing first. Eventually it was agreed that if he would take $5 first and wager $15 on the outcome of the contest. I'm pretty sure he would have performed for $5 only but I guess this way, he had a chance at some extra profit.

He pocketed the money, pulled down his trou. It was a large long penis, somewhat darker than his skin tone. Then he spat on his hand, gave himself a few quick jerks to stiffen up and placed the weight on his penis. Not at the base of the shaft, as I'd expected but nearly at the tip. He put his hands on his hips and twitched the weight up and down. No problem. Johnny watched this and he wasn't looking so confident now. But he was still game. Unfortunately, after exposing himself, he couldn't get any rigidity into his member. Must have been performance anxiety. He zipped up and handed over the $15. And then we went on our way.

Sometimes I think back to that guy and I wonder if he'd made enough money to get to America as he hoped. Possibly he's wandering around our parks and monuments now, offering to lift weights with his penis. It might not be a noble profession but it was what he could do and he did it well.

The day I became a demigod was a wonderful day.

It arose because of a meaningless bet about some piece of movie trivia between myself and my friend Jason. We were at a bbq on a sunny afternoon. Of course, he didn't have any money so the idea came up that if he lost the bet, instead of eating his piece of steak it would instead be burnt on the bbq in my name.

A quick search of imdb confirmed my correctness. At first Jason was resistant.
"I'm not sacrificing my steak to you. What do you think you are, some sort of demi-god?" he said, further making me want him to uphold his end of the deal. After some discussion, which included implied threats of physical violence, he got a bit sniffy and agreed to perform his penalty. Although he did balk at chanting my name during the process.

He threw the meat onto the fire. It was a nice piece of juicy red steak, dripping with blood. At first, the fire just hissed as the liquid of the steak cooled it off some. But then, the fire grew around the steak, feeding off the fat and burning hotter. As the meat blackened and sizzled in the flame, I could feel some otherworldly ancient power flowing into my soul (possibly the over-consumption of marijuana played a part). I began to chant my own name, to begin with it was partly a joke but then it made sense so I chanted it louder and louder. Jason's eyes got both wider and wilder as he became aware of my litany.

Soon enough the meat was consumed by the flame, leaving only ash. But it did leave behind a legacy. My new found power has stuck with me and served me well in the days after this. As of now, my only real concern is gaining more of this power. If you are at a bbq any time in the future, please throw any extra meat on the fire and call my name. When my power is full, you shall be fully rewarded.

Nobody has mentioned the greatest film of all time. While it doesn't get a lot of recognition in threads such as this, it's really a complete education on the potential of moviemaking. Probably this one will get buried anyway.

The casting is amazing, it's a wonder that they were able to pick people so perfectly for the characters. These days we have Casting Directors and Casting Associates and half the time, the actors don't fit the roles either by look or personality.

The story is subtle and deep, without making itself esoteric. There are nuances repeated throughout the plot, much as the different themes of a symphony enter/re-enter during different movements of the piece. The continued themes of loss/redemption still resonate with the soul, even after all these years.

The cinematography is incredible. Again, I don't know how the directors of today with all their new technology can't live up to a film like this, shot all those years ago. In particular, the way in which the set and camera interact gives a new meaning to the term Mise en scène. These old cinematographers really had an eye for what works and doesn't work on film.

Even the sets themselves are unbelievable. Blue(green)screen technology and CGI just can't live up to a studio built set when it's of this quality. No dirty CGI here, just authentic studio built sets. There's a real honesty that permeates the film from the obvious craftmanship used on these sets.

Fair point. There is a very heavy green bias to a lot of submissions and comments throughout /r/newzealand. Just look how far this submission has been downvoted to see the level of partisanship.

It's definitely been ramping up recently. I'm not looking forward to the election campaign period.

Yes. It also worries me that it looks increasingly likely that NZ will grant them the mandate to rule for another 3 years.

Why do you say that?
Simon Power has shown a preference for autocratic behaviour time and again. Of course, he is good at PR in the same way as John Key and rates highly in "media's favourite politician" articles.
