Apps and games need some scrutiny around this area. I think there's a range of things developers have done to their games, some of which are definitely gambling, some of which are sorta, kinda and others that aren't gambling but are a kind of grooming ...
Given that Battlefront is the example, it's more like buying a Lego kit at full price and then discovering that inside is a surprise bag that you have to pay more money to open. The surprise bag may make your Lego kit even better, or it may be a "meh" ...
"IOW Farrar has been bullied and became a bulky. Feel free to find where I mocked him for his weight and link it here" I know it's just a spelling mistake, but that's some good irony.
Not sure if you've seen this relevant piece by his wife? https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2017/11/26/63595/emma-espiner-the-threat-of-te-reo
We don't know if we have a filter for legal content. The DIA does not disclose it's rules for blocking websites. It does not disclose a list of blocked websites. The only way you can find out if the New Zealand Internet Filter is blocking a website is to ...
You say that we have avoided calls for an internet filter like Australias, but we do have an internet filter in NZ. It's run by DIA and has been up and running since 2010 and most ISPs are signed up to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_...
"It alters the water cycle which affects the environment. If we do not measure it then we will not know what those affects are." Hmm.. that sounds like you're backing down a bit. Previously you said "That water would normally be part of the natural cycle. ...
"No, we can’t. That water would normally be part of the natural cycle. By putting it in the tank it no longer is." Putting it in a tank is like building a dam. It introduces a delay, no more. It definitely does not permanently remove it from the water ...
We can make ourselves sustainable without measuring the volume of water that flows out of a rain tank. Lack of knowledge about how much water flows down every pipe in existence didn't cause climate change. That was caused by burning fossil fuels and ...
Why would you meter rain tanks? Or a spring that bubbles out of a cliff face on your property and runs into a lake? What purpose would that serve?
That's not true to say that ACT is simply a subsidiary gifted a seat. I have no love for ACT, but if we dropped the coat-tails rule and lowered the 5% threshold to the level required for 1 MP, ACT would still have David Seymour in Parliament solely on ...
Surely not, it only came out in 1999. A similar one which might qualify as an old adage is: "What man does not understand, he fears. What he fears, he hates. What he hates, he will try to destroy"
It was in fact, a dead cat: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/97215740 Even now we're arguing about the dead cat instead of other stuff that really matters like what those taxes people are so scared of are meant to be spent on: Housing, health, ...
Citation please?
If "Fear is the mind killer" has become an old adage, then I'm too old. It was first published in 1965 by Frank Herbert. Part of the Bene Gesserit "Litany against Fear" in Dune. "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that ...
Beazley was convicted of aggravated robbery, and she's been evicted for doing $1000 of damage to her house.
How does renunciation work? What happens if the country you're a citizen of refuses to accept the renunciation and still counts you as a citizen? Are you then permanently barred from Australian federal elections because you're a citizen of another country,...
Vote Green and become a member... that'll show 'em.
+1 Metiria's message was never going to be heard without being attacked. I hope she has lots of support around her to help with the attacks, and I hope those that have heard both her message and the attacks help lift the Greens so that message can keep ...
Hitler broke plenty of laws, it's just that no-one could punish him.
Does Auckland really need housing for 1.2 million more people?
THWACK! "Not you, Mum."
Hi Karen, Studies have shown that cats generally only bring home 20-25% of their kills. I wouldn't rely on their behaviour on your back deck for the true number of animals they kill. Also, bells don't stop them from catching native skinks and weta which ...
Yeah... cats definitely can't be trained to do anything.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0S8Ux_kNig Yes, we created fly screens for our house using mesh and magnetic strips. The sticky stuff on the back doesn't leave any marks I've noticed, but we ...
Let's try that on the other species: People that can't train their cats, fly screen their house, those that can train their cats, don't bother. Let me know if you have much luck training your cat. If the fly screens are readily removable, I can't see why ...
That's a bit like saying "Nah, it's impossible to fence my yard. I'm just gonna have to accept that I can't stop my dog from getting out". Fly screens keep flies out. We find very few get in when people open the door. Those that do get in, we kill. Are you...
Are you asserting that feral cats and domestic cats have different hunting habits? You accept that ferals hunt birds at night but think domestics are different somehow? If you're not prepared to cater for your pet, don't have one. I do the same thing with ...
The same way you keep flies and mosquitoes out. Fly screens on the windows and doors. We created our own window fly screens using magnetic strips and mesh so you can peel them off to reach past them, and use framed fly screens for the windows the cat can ...
Your comment "But cats generally don’t catch birds at night." is backed up by what exactly? Your personal opinion? Cats hunt at night. Most birds sleep in trees at night. Cats climb trees. Lots of native birds sleep on the ground. Even easier to catch. ...
Primarily It reduces the amount of time they have to hunt native birds and other wildlife. It also reduces the number of fights and vet bills. It even reduces the number of times your pet gets raped. This has happened to a spayed female cat of mine and a ...
Any idea where the Opportunity Party sits on the axes?
