Binkenstein posted:It does raise interesting questions about water use though. If the general response to water bottling companies is like this, why hasn't there been a similar issue with Farmers and their irrigation schemes that arguably take more water for nothing? Shouldn't charge for residential use.

There is also, IIRC, a vortex current in the pacific somewhere that is basically a pit where all the plastic washes up as a thick film of particles that get ingested by fish which then become part plastic themselves as far as human edibility goes.

As an Aucklander, I thought everywhere charged for water usage. I'm kind of shocked that people would get it for free.

There's five major gyres in the world - three of them are now known to have permanent garbage patches.

The garbage gyres in the ocean are one of those things that can shatter my veneer of rightness in the world and make me feel grose in my spine. As a side note, having more luck getting my New Zealand qualifications recognized here in the USA and offers of better employment- generally having good interactions with people here and had fun telling 3-4 coworkers at my retail job about ANZAC day and some of the few Maori phrases I know.

Im just a piss test away from being confirmed in a real, adult job over here and got the pleasure of submitting my Ministry of Justice criminal background record letter perhaps for the last time for a long time. Its a 2.85x pay increase from the precarious retail I was in my cup is just full on running over folks As a side note, I attended a really cute/quaint ANZAC event in north Georgia held at an Australian womans home, there was maybe 25-30 people and we played a game of cricket later in the hot sun

Word on the street is that the statistics on house sales that National has been collecting show something like 10-15% of all NZ sales were to foreign buyers, which means more like 20 to 30% of Auckland sales.

You mean there's too many of him on the team and he's helping nobody, despite the fact he's convinced that he's hot poo poo? Grant Robertson is the medic in this analogy.

Ahaha I just remembered: the Sniper is actually a Kiwi. It's basically just there as a punchline, but it's part of the official background.
