In a previous BirdSite life I was a disillusioned AI fridge, but here I'm an altogether quieter, more helpful appliance. IRL I'm a retired filmmaker who lives in the front line of climate change... on a New Zealand beach at sea level. I'm enjoying the peaceful Mastodon atmosphere. People are generally nicer in these parts. :tinoflag: :tinoflag: :tinoflag: :tinoflag: :tinoflag:

Today's ODT editorial is scathing of Brooke van Velden's determination to weaken NZ's workplace safety regulations, and to absolve employers from any responsibility when they kill or injure an employee.

Scathing!

It's worth a read.

I had no idea there were more than 200 crypto ATMs in New Zealand. They're the perfect way to launder dirty cash, but not for much longer. Wearing her Associate Justice Minister hat, Nicole McKee says the Government is banning crypto ATMs.

This brings NZ into alignment with the UK and Singapore. Aussie has a $5,000 limit on deposits and withdrawals.

TBH I must be related to Satan or something - neither Vegemite nor Marmite do it for me.

Both taste what I imagine axle grease to be like, and smell worse.

Wanna watch live pix of a space freighter (Cygnus) docking with the space station? It's happening now.
