Looks promising so far, & slows decline.

Apparently this is what it costs to install judder bars, not sure where he gets his source from for that cost, also unsure if thats the cost to do a street or per judder bar, but either way thats pretty expensive.
All they are is a few cubes of hotmix, how much does that stuff cost per cube I wonder?
He says he will redirect that money to fix the potholes on our roads, but the cost to fix all our potholes would still cost far more than what judder bars cost, even at that price.
They were saying on the radio that its going to take 10 years to fix them all. Cant say potholes are exactly anything new to NZ, they almost seem to be part of our culture, but they are definitely worse than in the past.

Perhaps, but it may never be able to be proved.

Saw my death notice in the paper on the weekend.... 1st name right, surname right, what I am known as, right, wife's name right, daughters name right. Age wrong and no mention of son!

The last two was the only way I could tell it wasn't me 

Wonder if someone is trying to tell me something?

Think I'll go and have a nice cuppa tea and a lie down!   

Oh joy.
He really is one of a kind, virtually indestructible politically apparently. He's now doing his best to cotton on to the loony tunes brigade to some degree while being very, very careful not to venture too far into their territory. Those who have theories about Covid, trans people, & the 'Voices for Freedom movement'

The article asks if he can "ride a freedom wave to parliament" - I sincerely hope NOT.

My Media PC (Asus Sabertooth Z77) no longer plays sound on my Sony Bravia TV. It has recognized the TV address for quite sometime but suddenly, although I can get the picture, I canÔÇÖt get sound. I have checked the sound settings on the PC but the TV doesnÔÇÖt show up. I have tried all methods to get it but canÔÇÖt get sound. Now, I have tried another PC to the TV and that has no problems with sound so the TV settings are correct. The HDMI cable has not been changed so that seems OK.

I have connected the suspect PC to my PC monitor and again cannot find the monitor in the Settings although a sound cable from the PC to the monitor and separate speakers┬áwill give me sound. I removed the suspect PC's┬áGTX560 GPU and connected to the HDMI port from the m/b ÔÇô same result i.e. no sound.

The Bravia TV has no Sound jack to input sound, it relies on either USB or HDMI inputs. I am of a mind that the suspect m/b has developed some fault that does not allow sound to be transmitted to the TV. Other than a sound problem the M/b works well and I do not want to dump it. Does anyone have any ideas I can follow?

We were just lucky enough to catch the documentary Carbon - The Unauthorised Biography on Maori TV. An excellent and easily digested explanation on the benefits and potential harm that carbon provides for us. Well worth watching out for when it becomes available on demand.

Since knackering modems tends to be a bit of a short lived thrill, this looks like it could be more fun than cutting off your internet but a great deal of time could simply vanish. The game promoters and video producers are frequently grating simpletons but the true geeks know the merits of complicating an apparently simple task with ludicrously tricky tech - Per ardua trans sidera.

Good grief - in the 21st cemetery, that this can happen is appalling.

"Italians have reacted with outrage after a 66-year-old school cleaner escaped punishment for groping a female pupil because it ÔÇ£only lasted about ten secondsÔÇØ.


When she confronted him, he responded: ÔÇ£Come on darling, you know IÔÇÖm only joking,ÔÇØ according to other students who witnessed the incident, which happened at a high school in┬áRome┬áin April last year.
