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?

Thanks, it was sorted in 30 minutes. The engineer saw the poor flow at our place, went up to the water meter by the road, did his thing, and bingo, back to normal.

Result!

Excellent! Having water to our houses instead of having to walk to a well or something is such a cool thing but it's only when it goes out that we really realise that.

I know. Have had some outages for a few days. Filled a dozen buckets beforehand for the toilet flush. Another thing that’ll really stuff the country is if the internet ever goes out.

Yeah, even ignoring all the business and infrastructure uses I think we offload a lot of tasks that used to be cognition and memory, onto the internet.
