Cant search NZ sites anymore, perhaps they have shifted it again, but typically I would click on tools and then there would be a drop down beside "any time" and "all results"

Quite annoying as its a feature I literally use every day.
Anyone else notice this? Chrome is giving me the same issue as firefox.
Edit: still available on chrome on my mobile.

I purchased 2 lounge chairs from Harvey Norman to replace my old and worn out sofa, the price was steep enough but what got me was the fee for delivering the chairs and taking away my old sofa $200 bloody dollars and I only live about 15 minutes away by car, bloody ripoff merchants!!!
Rant over.

They might plagiarise the idea ...

This is from Kevin Underhill's "Lowering the Bar", a weekly tongue in cheek resume of weird and wonderful things legal in the USA, that eminent bastion of all things weird and wonderful 

Quote:Officially,┬áthe Official State Crap project┬áhas only reached Indiana, which would make Iowa next on the list. But there is┬áprecedent┬áfor taking a state out of order if relevant legislative action is (a) imminent (b) stupid © both, and at least one of those conditions seems to be met here.

On January 23, New Mexico legislator William P. Soules introduced┬áSenate Bill 188, which if passed would make that state the first in the nation, apparently, and surprisingly, to have an official state aroma. While there was at least some debate as to which of the stateÔÇÖs many aromas should be so honored, the consensus was to accept the sponsorÔÇÖs suggestion that New Mexico name ÔÇ£the aroma of green chile roasting in the fallÔÇØ as its official smell.

As is so often the case, here grade-school children are the (a) culprits (b) heroes © scapegoats responsible for proposing yet another state symbol, according to the┬á[i]Albuquerque Journal[/i]. But when I read that a group of fifth-graders had been allowed to suggest an official aroma, and that the aroma they came up with was chile-roasting, I strongly suspected adult (a) supervision (b) coercion © inception was involved, and I was right.

This is┬ásaid to have come about┬áwhile Soules (a retired teacher) was visiting the class at Monte Vista Elementary. In a valiant effort to get them interested in what a legislature does, Soules asked them if they could identify the stateÔÇÖs official bird. Some poindexter knew that it was the┬ároadrunner, and the discussion of official things continued.

Somehow ÔÇ£the smell of roasting chileÔÇØ came up, and Soules then ÔÇ£implored the class: ÔÇÿLetÔÇÖs see about putting the smell of chile roasting as our official aroma for the state of New Mexico. Would you all help me?'ÔÇØ Yes, they would.
At a hearing on the bill, some of the fifth-graders testified in favor of the bill (via an online platform). ÔÇ£Is there anyone in the room who does not know what chile roasting smells like?ÔÇØ one student asked. Nobody who mattered didnÔÇÖt, at least, and the committee voted 5-0 to recommend passing the bill. If it is adopted by the legislature and signed into law, it┬áwould take effect on June 16, 2023, just in time for the fall harvest and roasting of chiles, hopefully to be followed by a green-chile-aroma-inspired increase in tourism.

The┬á[i]Journal┬á[/i]reported that some state residents were semi-riled by Steven ColbertÔÇÖs joke last week that he had assumed New MexicoÔÇÖs official aroma would be the smell of ÔÇ£an abandoned RV that a bobcat is living in,ÔÇØ but it doesnÔÇÖt look like they were really all that upset.

Is there a alternative to ccleaner been using for years of and on, but the latest version looks some what bloated to my liking.

Time for a change any suggestions?

This is not appropriate material from a so called public servant as a member of parliament.
See screenshot below, quoted from his post:
   

"This day 14 February 1779 our Kanaka Maoli whanaunga killed Captain James Cook with his own knife, after his attempt to kidnap Kalani╩╗┼ìpu╩╗u, an AliÔÇÖi nui (Arikinui) of Hawaii. They cooked him and then ate him. Cook opened the door for the British coloniser to infect Te Moana Nui a Kiwa.
Valentines Day is a distraction to the true importance of today for all of our peoples of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa. Not today coloniser! Today we celebrate and stand in solidarity with our Kanaka Maoli of Hawaii "

I have been using Microsoft Edge browser for some time and have been able to use multiple tabs until now. I don't know what I may have done but now I can only open one tab at a time. I am hoping that someone can tell me how I can turn on multiple tabs again.

Thanks for your help.

I know scams happen every other day, this one exploited google ads and in their interview CERT are recommending the use of adblockers...

Now if only they could outlaw clickbaiting

Our fibre was out for the best part of 24 hours.
Apparently it was a power outage at an exchange but I believe it was just Vodafone affected in our area.
Weird thing was it was fine during the storm and only went out some time last evening for us.
