Ōtepoti resident, Tāmaki Makaurau raised. Covid protection cult proselytiser. I like tramping, reading, cycling, crafting and cooking, but don't seem to get around to doing them a lot.

Last Notes npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn The hard t/ soft t conjunction does imply bat shit to me, which is less pleasant than bats npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn I recall Kiwibank selling off their kiwisaver fund managing. They currently recommend Fisher Funds, but I suspect you can find a more ethical option. I've seen recommendations lately to look for funds with minimal exposure to tech stocks. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Streets designed to prioritise cars are dangerous to all other people. Nothing unique about kids npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn I probably won't be awake at midnight, but I'll send time checks through the evening for a countdown npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Aotearoa/New Zealand has Sunday a bit earlier than you. Would that be a nice challenge? npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Help! npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn I'm guessing it depends on climate, but everyone just grows from seed here, either autumn sown or in spring. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn That is beautiful. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn The kid and I were ogling a 12k (on special!) bike. Cute front basket, belt drive, all sorts of specs I don't understand. The rear rack could take 60kg, I think it's designed for 2 or 3 smaller kids, it would probably be tricky for an adult to get their legs under the padded grab bars. But the kid reckoned it would be fun for giving their flatmate a lift home from the pub. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn I was a kid. Seemed like most people thought it was pretty pointless, and certainly people a bit older than me were mocking it for decades after. In out family our father took my mother's car to work on his carless day. So she had no car for 2 days a week (her carless day and his a well) also worth remembering traffic officers were a separate organisation from police. They only enforced road rules and there was a culture of trying to evade them even amongst some who would treat the police with respect npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Ah fuck npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Another low tech idea is noting two landmarks- one close to your path and the other distant that are lined up when you are close to the right place. We used to do this swimming/jumping in the surf where there's a strong longshore drift. If that tree was lined up with a point n the ridge behind we knew we were ok, when they got out of line we knew it was time to move back to our safe patch of surf. It's easier to do this though when you are trying to maintain a position because you get constant reminders of what your landmarks are every time you check. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Seems I'm not as helpful as Summer. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Summer seems focused on bringing back your items. Would she leave sticks behind that you hadn't attached something of your own to? Or do they immediately become objects to retrieve as soon as you touch them. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn She is so extremely helpful. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Ah bother. Fortunately they didn't tell me that. And I did tell them about the antihistamines. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Lovely Summer. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn No. I said pretty clearly I don't think this situation is at all like the one I described. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn I can see situations where there needs to be this provision. If they got the infection from a family member or some other person that the family will protect rather than have a concern for the safety of the child, then it could be very unsafe for the parents to know the kid is getting treated. This doesn't look at all like that situation. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn https://archive.ph/IMSHk npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Even in Aotearoa where our healthcare is more affordable than yours (though primary care still has a charge, capped at $20/visit for the very poor), we still have people following those influencers. I've even had a nurse-vaccinator at my clinic tell me that our RSV surge was caused by immunity debt npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Yep, it yo-yos back and forth. What's happening in the Northern Hemisphere winter peak strongly influences which strains are put in our southern hemisphere vaccine. The tropics are interesting, with some areas getting seasonal peaks )around the rainy season) and others not. Travel, climate and behaviour all contribute to peaks and which strains dominate. If the predictions don't get the vaccine strains right we get a bad flu season. Though last few years we have had a bad flu season anyway. And an underfunded health system which is undergoing privatisation by stealth. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Is it kind of like the way people who aren't in the top tax bracket vote to cut the rate there because they are convinced sometime soon they will be? npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn absolutely seconding the not a 30 advice, even though mine doesn't yet seem to have major issues. As well as the battery chemistry and architecture issues the Battery Management System contributes to overheating by sucking down the kilowatts a bit fast (makes the charge time metrics look better) npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn I didn't think it was a New Zealand one - we don't export the ones that are that sad. Colorado is probably too cold, but they are proving to grow wild in parts of this country that were once thought far too cold. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Wild kiwifruit are seen as an invasive pest plant in many parts of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Most control measures focus on stopping birds getting at unharvested or reject fruit, but some of the infestations are a long way from orchards, implying people are involved npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Is Lawsonibacter a good bug? npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn The other kind of punks still exist. In fact almost all the punks I see around Ōtepoti are tika. There's one aged tosser that hangs out with the terfs and antivaxxers that I have contempt for. The kids are all right. I'm sad to have missed am exhibition at Thistle hall recently that a fair few would have come out of the woodwork for. npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Recently sanded? npub10t465jyzvup9tva3ptuhl63jvjfa604jpj608p82rce9kclysq2s5zwjnv Robyn Ah Rolf. I wasn't that keen on him even before we knew.
