I like the battery cars and crypto coins. I have a YouTube channel were I talk about New Zealand, computers, electric cars and infrastructure projects mostly. I have some weird comedy stuff in there too.

Last Notes npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a0q…3tmr @npub1vrv…97jm Real food? I eat food that is made of actual identifiable ingredients. Not a bunch of numbers and lab products, with modified fats. I realise that 90% of what I eat, I can identify every part of the food. Oats, nuts, chicken, beef, milk, coffee beans, fruits and vegetables. I almost never buy pasta and gravy sauces, and pre-made sugar drinks. A bottle or can of sauce is not meant to be half the meal. Real food is not pasta and a slice of carrot floating in sauce. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj It's an archway. There's no inside there. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/738/682/440/794/943/original/68fdcfaf0d85e475.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 I got a bit lost out in the forest yesterday. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/738/673/327/572/339/original/64b479f35d058342.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q Fry some chopped bacon to crispy. Chop up that broccoli into little pieces. Chop some tasty aged cheddar cheese. Mix it all together with some mayonnaise. Perhaps some pine nuts. Salad. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1vrv…97jm I never thought it was a long infection, just some condition that people don't recover from some symptoms in a timely period. If they are just looking for a long period infection, that's the wrong thing to be measuring to conclude it does not exist. Actually, nothing in that headline makes any sense. I thought the infection was SARS Cov II and the bag of symptoms was called covid19. If people continue to have symptoms after the virus clears, then that's long covid, I think by tautology. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a0q…3tmr 65 year old normal separate taps still work fine in my house. My friends have internet controlled lighting in their home. On new years eve, half the people at the party could not work out how to turn the light on in the toilet. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q Is it going to pick up the rubbish and take it out, will it rinse the plastic and put it in the recycle bin. Is it washing the pans and putting them away? Seemed pretty cool though. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 I am not sure why I had to take a photo of this. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/682/052/216/297/929/original/76024709fd8d43b0.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1jk2…mh4j @npub1a73…7y6q @npub1jlp…hcx9 Ages ago I worked in the computer department of a huge office building. Our manager was Scottish. We had a weekly meeting where she would tell us what the priorities of the weeks work were, and hand out work. No one could understand her. After the meeting, we would go back to our work area, and we would all compare notes, and tell each other what we understood. We could only do about 70% of jobs, the other 30% of stuff, we had no idea what she wanted. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj 8 hours into the new year here, there was heavy rain an hour ago, and now it's completely sunny. Happy new year! npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj @npub1w5p…7gzp Yeah. My understanding of long term forecasts, like two weeks, is: Imagine that the forecast is written on elastic, pined to the date on the calendar on the day it was made. But at the two week mark the elastic is stretched or shrunk, and can miss alignment by a few days. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1w5p…7gzp @npub16rs…2zfj I heard that in the large hadron collider project. The machine, the detector and the computer analysis are all so complex that none of the project teams could fully explain the operation to the other teams. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj I think it is along the lines of being able to assess all the outcomes simultaneously and choosing the right one. As opposed to trying all the outcomes one at a time and finding the right one. Or being able to do the calculations with the partial results, and then picking the right option, with the correct result of the partial result, at the end of the complex process. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 It’s pretty warm, so I wanted to hang and chill outside while my takeaway Japanese food was prepared. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/656/551/497/022/040/original/202e2ed97064f95c.jpeg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/656/551/517/232/389/original/f3f6b0ef2f2256c7.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 The Boxing Day retail spend in Wellington this year was 10% down on last year. Boxing Day is the biggest shopping day of the year. The NZ national retail spend was down 0.4% Many people in Wellington are government workers. The new slightly more right government may be a reason for Wellingtonians to be more conservative with their spend. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q @npub1ahf…jdrc There was this place in Auckland that did a chunk of duck in a sweet and sticky coffee reduction. That was great. Ahhh, the good old days! npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj I went to a pre Christmas BBQ and noticed almost everyone had a smart watch. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a0q…3tmr Is a brown grassland worth one less food and one more gold? npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a0q…3tmr Looks ok. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q @npub1gj0…vp7z Fast is a strange word. It means moving at a rapid rate and also means not moving, unmovable. The bolt is rusted and stuck fast. The train is a TGV and is very fast. A fastener is used to stick one thing to another thing. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 I went to the supermarket last night. To get Christmas stuff. The lighting was refreshingly dim. It was so dim that some random lady asked me to read a price tag on a shelf. They were playing low key Christmas music. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/632/187/144/257/220/original/d959e8f96f0c7f60.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj @npub1jk2…mh4j We are changing from Hyundai iload to Transit vans for work vehicles. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q Fluoroelastomer. I guess that is elastic polymer with fluoride or fluorine in it. Or maybe that powder from the inside of a fluorescent tube. But probably not because then they work glow under UV lights. FKM fluro rubber. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 There is this little village near by where the locals do the oddest thing: They park in the median in the centre of the road. There are some diagonal parks free here, but the two cars in the middle of the road, still are just sitting there, I think the ute is parked and the hatchback is just waiting for some one to go into the shop and get a two litre bottle of milk. It's just their custom, and no one much cares. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/591/887/344/136/278/original/4c2852a3ec7e503d.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1ula…aztp @npub1kv0…feze @npub13xw…eguw That thing freaks me out just thinking about it. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub13h9…7q2w They need to learn how to use the pre heat while plugged in feature. It took me four years to work out how to have the heater on while using a DC charger. It barely ever freezes here though. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub13xw…eguw When I was as primary school, I think they taught X/0 = 0. But they also said that it doesn't really. Then a couple of years later they teach you the real answer. I did human development at university, so I think it is something about small kids can't process abstract logic. So you give them a simplified model until they can process abstract. It's almost as if modern teachers don't do education theory? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaget's_theory_of_cognitive_development https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/586/005/163/855/837/original/48c0520084a65999.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1kv0…feze @npub13xw…eguw That singularity in the lake is scary. Is it a thing to skim drift wood off the lake? npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 The new right-ish government is doing dumb stuff. They just cancelled the new ships for the rail and road link between the North and South Islands. They are building new terminals for the 220m long ships. The ships were due in three years. These ships are designed to load whole trains, in several lanes inside the ship. Also trucks and cars. Capacity 1910 People, 42 rail wagons 62 trucks 652 Cars. I think they already spent $440 million out of the ~$2 billion project. Dumb, dumb dumb dumb. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/574/486/617/162/482/original/440c630142d8c117.png https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/574/488/261/686/857/original/6becfa4efc1724ab.png https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/574/490/478/390/691/original/79e157e96dcc0a13.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub18z9…c3uf @npub1a73…7y6q @npub1ug7…n0uq Although there was no auto there, I could hear it anyway. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 That went from a nice early summer day to hail and thunder in five minutes flat. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/565/158/782/380/188/original/bd4452af53642e7d.png https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/565/158/826/340/929/original/9cff5a990edab59c.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q I am a native English speaker. I tried to learn to read and write French, and that is difficult. Māori is more phonic, one of the first dictionaries was written by a Scottish missionary. The word Whakapapa, genealogy, family history, is pronounced Fa-ka-pa-pa. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1xje…85rf Anyone can see there is no design in any modern phone or smart watch. They are utilitarian rectangles and squares - all phones look about the same. The iPhone camera has no design, it's just stuff stuck in the corner. It does not even sit flat - it's a wobbly table in a street cafe. The phone is slippery and falls out of out of your hand if it has no cover. There is no design. It's just stuff that people made. Any design is in the phone case or the strap. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1v62…6c55 In New Zealand every time you start a new job, you can take 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10% of your wages and put them in KiwiSaver Retirement account. If you put in $1000 per year, you get a match of just up to $1000. Your company may match some of your contribution also. If you want to buy your first house, you can take out the money and use it as a deposit. So about quarter of the population has that money available for a first home deposit. Median house price $740k. Starter city houses, $450k. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/546/731/641/546/879/original/f346766d5539bc68.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1v4t…w5q2 We don't like fruit flies in this country. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 I saw this at the supermarket and thought $80.08. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/526/960/834/310/345/original/bcc8dabf6da83103.jpeg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/526/967/568/983/136/original/14673d36322c06ea.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a0q…3tmr Oh, my post seems to have fallen out of context. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/523/390/911/613/462/original/4456fcb37ad1e649.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj Some New Zealand native trees, you put the seeds in a plastic container wrapped in wet paper, then put them in the fridge for six months. Then plant them in damp potting mix. Another weird one, is some tree, you pour boiling water over the seeds, because they need fire heat to start the germination. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 Got myself a new slightly used series 6 for half the price of a new one. I have been achieving my daily minimal exercise since 2020. My old one was doing ok until I got water in it a couple weeks ago. Battery went from about 14 hours to 6 hours. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 I saw the van of the dog and those meddling kids. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/507/955/755/190/919/original/35d1ea707e62423d.jpeg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/507/955/809/113/441/original/66dd72453e07eb59.jpeg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/507/956/419/979/250/original/4cf12b8c459e07aa.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj It's an interesting one, can you tell the difference between Waka Kotahi and Te Tari Take? or what is the function of Te What Ora? Which one would you drive to if you broke your arm? They are considering using the NZ coat of arms for all govt departments and buildings and a standardised font, so people will not be confused about what is an actual government service and what is a private sector service. The govt departments may still have the Maori language second in their title. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 It took six weeks after the election, but we got a new govt in New Zealand. It's somewhat conservative three party coalition compared to the old Labour govt. So they have started a few things this week: Changing the names of govt departments, from Maori language to English. Removing trans education from schools. Restarting oil and gas exploration. Restoring tax deductibility on mortgage payments for rental housing. Cutting rebates for electric vehicle sales. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q Yeah, the 300/100 fibre is the basic rate for all towns and cities, most villages with 100 houses within a 2km area. When fibre to the home stated, the base plan was 30/10 or 50/10 an then they were automatically changed over to 100/30 or 100/20, then to 300/100 as the connections between cities improved. https://www.chorus.co.nz/tools-support/broadband-tools/broadband-map npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1gjv…nuca Yeah, I think that's true. Another one we get, is just cars parked on the side of highways. Not even old cars. I think what happens is that people run out of fuel. They always put in $50 a week and it just does not drive as far as it used too. I saw four vehicles yesterday parked on the sides of motorways, where you are not allowed to stop your car. Petrol is around USD6.85 per gal here. NZ$3/L. I wonder if people just park and walk out into the forrest? They are done with it all. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 The date of the New Zealand general election was Oct 14. We still don't have a government. I think they need a coalition of three parties to get a better than 50% majority in the house so they can pass new legislation, or pass budgets. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1gxv…hh99 This is Dr Spock.

That is a straight up 50% loss. Then set up hydrogen stations and distribute the hydrogen. That is way more expensive to set up than EV chargers. Truck distribution of the hydrogen is more expensive, dangerous, and wasteful than electricity via powerlines. After all that loss, EVs are just way more efficient. A good work around may be hydrogen plug in hybrids, hydrogen for long trips. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/417/984/809/691/378/original/4ec7aaf530c537ca.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q Have a look at https://satellitemap.space/ https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/398/990/911/746/312/original/bbf7676cfa0c9bb2.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q Newer maps have the polar orbiting satellites.

The scale is an huge difference. The turbine must generate 10 or 20x more power than the aircraft engines. So 20 minutes of fuel defrosting a turbine will be nothing compared to the emissions reduction of the turbine verses the coal or gas power plant that could be running to fill the need, during the freeze up. To be clear, wind turbines, can only displace some fraction of other generation. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/269/266/562/992/087/original/b3a03eddc51e3664.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1v62…6c55 What kind of car was she driving? npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj When I look at that card, I can see a hole in the middle. So I would imagine, speculation, you can place it on top of an item painted a single matte colour and take a photo of it. The four digital gliphs in the corners will allow a program to centre and work out what colour the surface in the centre hole is by comparing to the surrounding patch work of sample colours. Items like that card will fade a tiny amount in time so, it will go uncalibrated after a couple of years. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub18ej…7x7w Subscribe to a podcast about economics and listen to that until you get bored to sleep. I recommend anything about John Maynard Keynes, Adam Smith and Friedrich Von Hayek. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a73…7y6q Its election time in NZ, the govt wants to reduce the number of vape shops from 1200 to 600 nationwide. They got every one off smoking, but people still want to stick stuff in their mouths. Teenagers are taking up vaping - they say. So they are going to shut down all the vape shops within 300m of schools. Because teenagers can't walk for 5 minutes. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 Not getting much work done today. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/110/896/635/432/357/343/original/677fc69c36cc5160.jpeg https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/110/896/635/437/091/850/original/f2a70641bdc5f9e5.jpeg npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub16rs…2zfj Yeah, that's important. In New Zealand in the weekend, I heard about food crops costs. A lady said, it looks like growers are planting fields, and putting the fertiliser on half of the field, at twice the rate, then not harvesting the underfertilised half. This is to get around the fertiliser limits. This sounds like what happens in communism. Obviously, growers are not just throwing fertiliser on fields for no reason, it's expensive. Govt mandated a fertiliser limit per crop. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1azk…lv23 I have a Nissan Leaf. It has a relatively simple conventional car design with a simple enclosed battery. Nothing complex or dramatic. If you keep lithium submerged in water, I kind of think that will make it catch on fire. I wonder how many times, the car in a bucket of water has actually been done? It strikes me as a fun and memorable story. Kind of a meme. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1azk…lv23 That is a problem with the overly complex design of the vehicles. Too many gadgets and sensors. Too many clusters of complex electrical stuff. The designs could be more simple, but when you are buying a new vehicle one or two standard deviations over the mean price, you will want a nice car for that price. That will resolve. People in 230V countries, largely don't need any special home wiring upgrade to charge an EV. Except people with long commutes, or taxi drivers. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub189e…yahj @npub18z9…c3uf I used to look after a lighting monitoring system for work. We could pinpoint lighting strikes to a couple of metres. We had a real time display of the country. About 10 sensors cover the area of New Zealand. If we turn up the sensitivity our network will cover the coast of Australia, but with fuzzy locations, due to poorer triangulation. Power companies can use the data to find which powerlines and transformers went out in each storm, then send repairmen. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/110/694/901/987/326/895/original/f1de7a83ab42012f.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub10ta…sw7k @npub1a0q…3tmr Yeah, that's a yucky sounding word, and should not be used in a song. I found random God Save the Queen! in legislation. https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/110/561/464/662/398/205/original/c13c97558cce6061.png npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 @npub1a0q…3tmr Queens birthday holiday was just called Kings birthday weekend the other week. Also, the National anthem we played in the Royal New Zealand Navy was God save the Queen, when we raised the flag, it fits in 16 seconds. npub1l4gqylqulvdd295edk2fvzqr0hplvkdc5fydk3r2d9swc99egmgqqtwkuw Darryl 🇳🇿 #[0] A church my friend goes to in Tennessee, buys local medical debt and finds the patients and sends them a letter to let them know their debt is paid off. They worked out that it was the best financial thing they could do to help out their community. My friend told me about it 10 or 15 years ago. I thought it was a cool idea. I also heard that if you have an emergency, not covered by insurance, you can negotiate the cost down if you talk to the accounts dept while still in hospital.
