Prestige podcasts are a great way to solve that age old problem of an audiobook that there aren’t enough set ups or credits in the middle of all the story

All the Trump transition picks basically come down to ‘Trump nominates the Hamburglar to run McDonald’s’

@publicaddress Said as a regular rider and lover of bike paths

@publicaddress I love the removing car parks &safety upgrades. I wonder at wisdom of not having the bus stops set back as now in rush hour a bus disgorging school kids hold the entire road up for the duration of the stops. It seems a good way to wind up drivers and lower support for bike lanes
English
I took some pics last Sunday of the ongoing works in Point Chev. This is Meola Road, looking towards the city, which is mostly finished. The bus stop is a *massive* upgrade and the bike lane is really nice. So much safer than the old road.

Trying to get a kid HOP card is insanely hard - @AklTransport - now apparently a child has to go to a station to have a kid card activated- but most bussing kids never go near a station? This info is out of date on your website - at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferr…

@publicaddress It’s going to turn out that the meeting was held down a mine
English
This is actually even worse. It turns out there were two more mining executives at this undiaried dinner – which, contrary to Jones' previous assurances, was organised in advance. Did Matua Shane offer any more lobbying advice?

@publicaddress @cactuslab Such a huge part of the culture, such a great community and so much fun! Thanks for all the work you put in to this and the opportunities you made for so many people - a really significant and special thing

Bit of news this morning: publicaddress.net is officially retired. It's been dormant for a while, but I wanted to resolve it properly and the wonderful people at @cactuslab have tidied it up and locked it off. There's now a landing page there that sums it all up.

It really is perfect that the so-called NZCPR, a group of angry weirdos with a website, has the money to spend on newspaper advertising campaigns but not the basic competence to get its own URL right.

@andrewhunterm thought you might be interested to know that the bar Mean Doses that plays Fish in the bathroom is from a brewer whose name is Dean Moses.

Einstein slept nearly 10 hours a day. He valued the significance of quality sleep for maintaining his well-being. His sleep routine, though, was out of the ordinary.
He regularly indulged in brief daytime naps, occasionally more than once a day. These quick naps, lasting just a few minutes, were thought by Einstein to revitalize his mental energy and creative thinking.
He felt that these short periods of rest gave him a renewed viewpoint to solve intricate scientific challenges.

@SikotiHamiltonR Slightly sideways but helicopter is a fascinating loan word - as you would think it would come from heli and copter together. But as @nosuchthing taught me it is actually from helico (for spiral) and pter (for wing) the same pt root that goes to pterodactyl.
English
This post shows the hypocrisy of those who criticise loan words in te reo Maori. The poster says topatopa is not a real Maori word, because it adapts helicopter. But the English word is adapted from a differently spelt French original. English can loan words, but not Maori...

@SikotiHamiltonR Not counting new loan words. People that learned Maori 20 years ago don't recognise it now because of all the new words.

@REasther @NedGilmore There are ~60m of them so per capita it was a win, surely?
English
All Blacks had fewer men on the field for most of the game, so (hear me out here) on a per capita basis, it basically a draw, right?
