Auckland Transport has approved a controversial street upgrade in Grey Lynn.

I'm not a native speaker, but I think it's normal to request a "female nurse" but asking for a "woman nurse" sounds weird. But saying "I would like my nurse to be a woman" sounds normal again

At the 2021 local election, 61,224 non-Estonians voted which is 10.47 percent of all ballots cast. In total, 584,902 people submitted a ballot. The top five highest numbers of votes cast by nationality were Russians (29,959)
Fair enough
I live in New Zealand and there's a general lack of supply for various things. This means high prices low choice. Things like spare electrical components, cables, specific bike tools and whatnot are quite cheap and they ship fast.
I never used Temu I must admit.
I love AliExpress but no way in hell will I buy anything there that goes on my body, my food or my water.

A while ago I was talking to someone form Toyota's sustainability team and they were FROTHING over hydrogen. I don't know much about it, but that surprised me.

Spirituality does not require superstitions. I think this is a common misconception.
Similarly, superstitions are just that... But the rituals and practices that come with it are objectively and measurably good for your well-being.

Right!? I was wondering if my browser blocked something
I agree, but the idea of adding AI to notepad is quite insane in its own right
The problem is it's probably a good idea to get people in deprivation to eat healthier. It's also a reasonable claim that antidepressants are over prescribed.
However, if the alternative is unaffordable, the solution is just a punishment.
This has not been a good year for aviation and we're barely two months in
Most flowers sold in shops are nuked with insecticides, as they're not meant for eating.
This kind of sounds like government officials coming up with a more trump proof way of saying "build infrastructure in areas with predicted growth".
I've been on ethical alternatives for social media for a while and the one thing missing is just everyone I know
What's a good and non patronising way to help my neighbour out
My neighbour has a cat called Stevie. Stevie hangs out with us a lot and we look after him when my neighbour is away.
Yesterday we found Stevie very unwell in our garden. We took him to the neighbour and she immediately rushed him to the vet.
She mentioned the vet was 200 dollars which was a big unexpected expense for her. Her son's birthday is on Monday and she won't be able to do anything for his birthday now.
My wife and I are fortunate enough for 200 dollars to not be a lot of money for us and we want to help, but I'm unsure how.
One option would be that we leave her a little card with 100 dollars and write that we wanted to help because we care about Stevie too.
Another idea is we ask her to do some gardening for us (that's her job, and we're too busy to do it ourselves right now).
I don't want her to feel patronised or awkward about any of this... Happy to take insights.
We finally get bike lanes on Great North Road

I literally can not wait for this. Cycling there is so awful.
Suck a shame they don't do a town centre upgrade. The Grey Lynn shops could use some love.

Went her as a side trip on the Rees Dart track from Queenstown. It was a pretty grueling ascent from the hut, climbing almost 1000 metres on scree and rocks. The 18 km round trip took us quite a while!
This hike (5 days total) was absolutely stunning.
