France’s nuclear deterrent that is separate from any US influence is exactly what needs to be to be protected and expanded, not folded into something the US could break!

No exemption if you committed any crimes whilst working there though

You really think there’ll be a next president?

Absolutely Positively a different Wellington

So I guess we need the conservatives to have kids, because those kids will be the future progressives. As someone else said, political views aren’t genetic

I’m what you’d call reasonably progressive, I mean I’d fall short of actually eating a billionaire myself, me and my wife have three kids, and some of my eco-warrior comrades scorn my selfish, planet killing breeder ways

Also, they know full well they can defer their rates payments till they sell the house or they can let their estate cover the rates, but house property values are a sacred cow in this country so they pretend that option doesn’t exist

Text, paraphrased, If Henare wins, but resigns his list seat before write are issued, Labour gets another list seat. If he’s too late they don’t

An interesting technicality of timing.

Debian 13? I’d only just become fully comfortable with Debian 12!

Ok, so I’ll infer that the answer is yes? There would be a list MP to replace a sitting Labour list MP who wins that electorate seat?

Hey @graemeedgeler.bsky.social I was wondering, if Labour list MP Pene Henare wins the TM b-election, does Labour get another list MP? Or does the overhang get “corrected” in this outcome?

I have three kids, and I almost never call any of them by the right name first time

A rack mount router and network switch screwed to bits of wood

Technically a rack

Now who’s the comedian?

What if I just ended every conversation with “and that’s all I’m at liberty to say at this time”

“No papa, I didn’t mean that my name is hungry, I meant that I want food!”
The 5 year old just destroyed the classic dad joke.

“I love you Papa Fart Poop” I’ll take it.

If YouTube has taught me anything it’s that rugs can hold more dirt than you’d ever have imagined

Average Waiheke Sunset

So my wife sat next to me while I played GeoGuesser and she reeeeally liked how good I am at it, so I’m winning at life

Help me my five-year-old’s friends are into Minecraft and I wanted to check it was safe so I installed it and stayed up all night crafting my little cave and House and didn’t get any sleep

A road with two speed limit signs one saying 30 and one saying 40

What am I supposed to do with this instruction?

Is a submarine a boat?

Aren’t I just lucky that Waiheke has a bike hub, with a shed full of spare parts!

Front bicycle wheel, where bolt holding it on has snapped

Well that’s no good!

Just stepped on an upturned side entry AU/NZ 3112 Power Socket plug and I have empathy for the British in this moment and also OWWWW!!

Image attached of the type of plug

Is that a trick question?

Maybe not there, girls that like don’t go for guys like us

I wish to visit the land of Neen and sample its tarts
