There were a few people at work today who drove past this. One woman was crying when she got to work as she thought it was real.
Man had suspended himself from the bridge to look like he hanged himself. Moving to make it look like he wasn't dead yet.
All this to raise awareness about suicide prevention.
How many children in cars saw this I wonder....
Suicide is a serious problem in NZ, but, there are more child friendly ways to raise awareness.

Not all cats have a problem with flaps.
I have two cats they have zero problems with the flaps. They sometimes use the flap as a short cut to sneak up on the other one when playing.
I have those electronic ones you register with their microchip so only they can use the flaps.
But, I still get gifts like mice, skinks, praying mantis, cicadas, leaves, etc. The flaps don't stop gifts.

Cyanoacrylate is a moisture cure adhesive. You have lots of moisture in your skin which helps it cure.
Cyanoacrylate is used in medical glue because it bonds so well with skin.
Depending on the cut/injury, the medic may apply glue instead of stitches.
It's doing its job. Don't use acetone, it's bad for you.
I scrape it off with a Stanley knife blade.

Oh for fuck's sake! I can't believe you're real. You know fuck all about me, my race, or my sense of humour. You would be surprised about all three of those!
Context doesn't always come through with text responses. If you and I were sat across a table from each other, we'd probably be ordering another beer. Unless you're a ...., in which case the first beer would never happen!
Lighten up mate. Take a pill or something.

Down vote me all you like mate, but life will be shit without a laugh or two.
I really should have mentioned political correctness after my statement about the world being too serious. As an adjunct to that sentence.... but it's done, so....
Anyhow, I'm not justifying any racism. I'm laughing at the same thing she was because I understand where she was coming from; and I know I'm not alone.
I've had the pleasure of working in a four different countries mixing with cultures where people make fun of themselves for a laugh. It's not uncommon in the world. The problem is some people are too sensitive.
That's my "quality take".

Yes, she works for a company. Yes, she is a spokesperson for them.
But 'cmon guys. She was having a laugh at herself. Adding a bit of humour into what she does.
Go easy on her. Jeez.
The world is too fucking PC these days. And, too bloody serious on top of it all.

Oh I can wax lyrically all afternoon to tell you why I need it.
I like to ride long off road trails. I'm tired of taking detours and getting lost in an unfamiliar area trying to find my way back on track.
The final straw was, last weekend exploring the Whakarewarewa forest on my MTB ( in Rotorua) for trails I haven't been on before and ended up having to unnecessarily pedal up a few steep climbs because I missed a path or two. So I'm throwing technology at the problem.
Plus, it's cool.

Going past the bicycle shop on my cycle home from work today to buy a Garmin 840 cycling computer. Then, after my Friday pizza dinner with wifey, I'm going to fit it to one of my other bikes and play on the weekend. I am beside myself with excitement. I can't wait.

If that doesn't work, then power cycle it.

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero! Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it! Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc. So, how’s it going?
Like the title says. So annoying.
Just ridiculous.
Hello peeps. I wear specs and usually update my prescription every 2 years. This means I have quite a few sets of quality spectacles laying around in the desk drawer that I no longer use. This got me thinking: there must be heaps of people who can't afford specs who could benefit from some free ones. Where can I donate these specs? It must be to some organisation that gives them out for free. People must NOT have to pay for them! I'm in Auckland. Any ideas welcomed, thanks.
