The more pressure max is put under by not having the best car, the more petulance we will hear on the radio from him. And their relationship will start to break down.

Indeed. And the stewards didn’t do anything about that moving under breaking. Bad form from them.

What is this massive increase of usage you assume would happen? All drugs could be legalised without offering them for sale with minimal checks like alcohol currently is.

I’m not sure there are huge numbers of kiwis just itching to get a meth habit, if only it were legal.

Of course. They want more people in prison.

It has to be Ferrari.

 

Jones is a controversial force in the new Government, with his nakedly pro-mining stance criticised for being anti-environment. His meetings with industry heavyweights, including those in the commercial fishing sector, have led to accusations of conflicts of interest.

In one instance, Jones, also the Fisheries Minister, asked officials to develop a Cabinet paper on overhauling cameras on boats, after a request from a fishing boss who is one of his biggest campaign donors. Under the new Government, New Zealand has backed out of a proposal to restrict seamount trawling in the South Pacific.

Hmm. Sometimes I wonder if this “Dave” is, indeed, an AI.

Milk is an end product. Precise fermentation is a better technology to produce it than cows.

I talked to a farmer on hill land about this, and he said they have to buy cows that have grown up on hill land otherwise they can’t handle it and invariably end up a bloated carcass in the local stream. That still does happen sometimes, in which case they just leave it there to decompose and pollute the stream because it’s too much work to remove it. Farmers, eh?

 

My car insurance through Trade Me (Tower) is about to renew and the new cost is 100% higher. Any recommendations for a new insurer or are we powerless to prevent these increases?
