When overcrowded buses replace train services, they should be free of charge. It's nowhere near the same quality of service, and charging for it is kind of rude. If it's free, it encourages train operators to do everything they can to avoid replacement bus situations.

They could make it half price, at the very least.

What your government needs to do is redirect huge swathes of public transport funding into Roads of Dubious Significance with no allowance for bikes or pedestrians in the budget. Like our enlightened coalition is doing .

Tori Whanau's column in this weekend's Sunday Star-Times talked about introducing water meters and charging households for water.

Have we learned nothing from the privatisation of the publicly-funded electricity network? Which has led to households facing massive price hikes since the 1990s - a contributor to the rising cost of living - while effectively subsidising commercial users who can get power much cheaper on the spot market.

Why the biscuit tax leaves a bad taste in the mouth

Earlier this year, two distinguished gentlemen, Judge Hyde and his adviser Julian Stafford, sampled a mineral-enriched flapjack — alas, a year past its sell-by date — and pondered its qualities. (Flapjacks are slabs of oats stuck together with a glue made of butter, sugar and syrup.) The question: was this unconventional flapj

A comprehensive review of the tax system made a series to recommendations intended to raise revenue and stop the tax burden falling hardest on wage and salary earners. While encouraging people with money to move it into economically productive places, instead of bidding up the value of real estate.

NZ Labour mostly ignored it for 6 years, and arguably lost the last election because of that. The NatACTFirst government is going full austerity.

Welp, here's some nightmare fuel. FISA 702 expansion is even worse than I thought.

"Legal experts—including a rare few attorneys who’ve argued cases before the FISA court in the past—say the new ECSP text ensnares owners of facilities housing equipment used to store and carry data, as well as commercial landlords and virtually anyone with access to communications equipment in those spaces." https://www.wired.com/story/section-702-reauthorization-expansion/

Giving up on configuring to send e-mails. No matter what I try, it can't authenticate to my mail server. "Password mismatch" though it works without problems when I connect with my normal e-mail client, so I know the password is correct. I tried putting the password as PASSWORD and without the backticks in app.ini, no luck.

SOLVED: The key in app.ini is named PASSWD not PASSWORD.

New Cannondale Scalpel prompted this:

It’s not about leading the cables through the headset no matter what!

It’s about having a tidy front and no mess of exposed cables! For aero, to reduce interference with bags, for aesthetics.

Now look at this, mtb industry and Cannondale and think again!

2,5 bar à l'avant et à l'arrière. Les pneus du B doivent être entre 6 et 8.
Heureusement que j'ai une pompe qui me fait un peu mal au dos.
