I would guess around 3mm for that one. I've never seen them either but happened to look down and saw it crawling on me while gardening
I'm in Wellington, but they're apparently everywhere - just we tend not to notice them since they're pretty small and like live under leaves and stuff
Harvested potatoes this morning and was pleasantly surprised by the haul from my tiny plot. Gotta figure out what to plant in the space next - maybe some pumpkin
Took my 4 year old to the Dinosaurs of Patagonia exhibition at The Papa this morning. It's fucking spectacular. I wasn't really expecting all that much from it, and it is fairly tame to begin with, but the final exhibits are pretty amazing. Kid loved it too.
My son, after watching a YouTube video where the Paw Patrol had a barbecue competition, decided that we needed to also get a BBQ - I was inclined to agree. So this morning I've headed out and bought the family the finest mid-price kettle that mitre 10 has to offer.
Now I can spend the Christmas break subjecting my family to my sure to be mediocre attempts at BBQing.
I'm using an old GoPro (Hero4) I had lying around, and bought a Kaiser Bass (cheap knock off GoPro) so had front and back covered. Works pretty well, the Kaiser is a bit jankey though.
I've previously been recommended these: https://cycliq.com/ but it's pretty pricey.
Seems to have been mostly Wellington, with a few elsewhere. From an archive of their stores page I count:
- Wellington: 14
- Auckland: 2
- Christchurch: 1
This is fucking ridiculous. Who even would you be tipping in this situation? Guarantee that none of the actual workers see a penny of these "tips", and that it all goes back into corporate budgets.
2FA would probably be part of the answer: whereby you get a text / app notification with a unique code to confirm a transaction. Not always convenient, I pretty much always sigh when having to use them, but at least significantly harder for people to spoof.
I can imagine a future, not that far off, where physical cards are obsolete, and phones are the primary identifying factor in everyday transactions.
But yeah that whole not honoring transactions from a near(ish) to expiry card thing is total BS. I'd be looking to ditch Skinny if that happened to me.
The Long and Winding Road. Not sure which version though, I love the strings on the original record, but also really like the cleanness of the restored naked version
That was an absolutely excellent game, and great start to the tournament. Really looking forward to going to see Netherlands vs USA next week
I flew domestic from Wellington this morning and was still required to take out laptops - though this was Jetstar.
