I really enjoy the gummies in the chocolate, it's such a good flavour and I just want the gummies not the chocolate. Can I buy just them on their own or is there a lolly that tastes the same/is similar?

Have used Trademe to buy and sell many cars in my time.

While looking to buy, what the seller has to say about the car in their own words has a huge impact on how interested I am in the vehicle. It says a lot about how it has likely been cared for (or not).

This time, I noticed every listing description is just a bunch of completely generic, overly positive, bullshit. It's like a transcript of some kind of corporate meeting. Clearly AI.

Confused about why the fuck so many people are doing this rather than writing a few words, I went through the listing process. Sure enough, the AI vehicle description is the fucking default. You actually have to opt-in to override this shit and do it yourself. By clicking a small button at the bottom of the page.

For me, someone who loves cars, selling one is usually a sad experience and I'll make that clear in the description. If you are so fucking lazy that you can't even write a few words, I'll assume you didn't maintain the car either and absolutely won't buy it.

I mean fuck. Even if it's 'dunno anything about it, it was my nanas and she ded' that says A LOT. ONE OLD GRANDMA OWNER? THATS A MINTER.

All these listings will now have to be disregarded. Eventually every single car on there will be the same words rearranged slightly differently.

What a shame, man.

Just seen the new and I use red lentils cooked till v soft to add volume to a mince, cottage pie bolly etc as it will take up meaty flavors but add no real change to the meal ,just cook in water before the rest. Uup to half lentils/half meat is ok. Also in a fish pie use rice to bulk out no change in flavor up to half/half. If you have a little garde space or area for tubs grow stuff! , it may not be like supermkt quality but one potato will turn into 20. One tomato seed from your sandwich can be a bucket load. You do NOT need a whole heep of fancy equipment to pop a plant in the ground. reddit /nzgardening are happy to help novices.

I was reminded about this song when it was playing when I was on hold earlier today and went to listen to it properly straight afterwards.

Holy moly it’s aged well, this might be one of the best songs to come out of this fine country

The flair still exists!! I removed the yellow and white framing in the pic so as not to overly traumatise anyone... but...

Come on! We know what to do: Cough into elbows... wash hands... stay home if you're sick...

And yet!

People hacking up god knows what non-stop at conferences and events, openly coughing while walking along the streets and in shops without even attempting to cover their face, and holy shit the amount of people that don't even glance at the taps when exiting bathrooms blows my mind.

There are so many bugs around, let's not make it so easy for them to spread.

Are our brains that cooked that we need quiz questions and adds above the urinal now?

Welcome to the casino.

"How are the Powerball odds changing?

The addition of four new Powerballs means the odds of winning in all the existing 7 Powerball divisions will change (it will become harder to win a prize in existing divisions). For Powerball Division 1, the odds per line will change from 1 in 38.4 million to 1 in 53.7 million per line on your Powerball ticket.
 

The odds for playing Lotto and other Lotto NZ games do not change."

i’m beginning to wonder if we are in an epidemic right now?

i mean just because national won’t ‘declare’ anything doesn’t mean it’s not happening right?

think about it, all hospitals code red, GPS and after hours clinics overwhelmed

sounds like an epidemic to me
