Haven't bought from Temu for a long time!  

Just noted that they have increased the minimum order from $20 to $35 !  

Not going to buy something which I don't need!!! 

I'd like to think they might see sense, but if this idea is as it seems, likely to gain them more votes they'll stick with it. Very interesting that Judith Collins raised it though, when it's surely those groups who are possibly more likely to vote left.

"Judith Collins pointed out that the proposals were inconsistent with people's rights, & that 100,000 or more people  could be directly or indirectly disenfranchised by rules banning  enrolment in the final 13 days before an election, with younger people & Maori, Asian & Pasifika most likely to be affected."

According the the World Health Orrganisation



"Israel will halt halt military operations for 10 a day hours in parts of Gaza."

Fantastic - feed the people for 10 hours a day, & then kill them....

What the hell is wrong with our species...

This success for the Whanganui District Council is heartening. The government doesn't realise the strength and tenacity of local opposition to the Fast Tracking of this highly controversial activity. It's going to be a long and rocky road for TTR as they attempt to make good their plans for the South Taranaki Bight. Anti Seabed mining sentiment is running very high down here in the Naki.

Came across this earlier. One every four minutes...

Over the past couple of days if I try to access my downloads folder I just get a "Working on it" message with no progress and the message at top of page Downloads (Not Responding). All other folder I can get into except for Downloads. Any suggestions? I'm running W10, but keep getting bothered by MS about upgrading to W11.

Also just did a MS update but fobbed them off on the final move by choosing the 'decide in 3 days' option.
