I grew up on a farm with rainwater, but my mum made us have a fluoride tablet every morning so my teeth did ok :)
I think we were a bit of an aberration back then so god only knows what its like nowadays. The generation before my parents (my Great-Aunts) by the time they were in their late 30s their teeth were so bad all 3 sisters basically had them all pulled and had false teeth for the next 50 years.
I think that's a reasonable take given John Key actually put his cards on the table pre-election saying he supported Trump because he would be better for business.
Which is a pretty willfully stupid take to be honest, unless when he meant oligarchs when he said what he said.
That's entirely on the WRU, if they'd paid any attention at all to Southern Hemisphere rugby they'd have seen what a disaster he was with the Chiefs in Super Rugby where in effect he had to be promoted out of the coaching role because the losses were so continual. And then Clayton MacMillan pretty much turned the whole thing around with basically the same squad.
They addressed the wrong problem when they ditched Pivac, and since then the top team performance has gotten worse while the underlying issues haven't been addressed at all.
And given Gatland didn't resign at the end of last season, and this has been termed a mutual one I imagine there'll be a lot of scuttlebutt about whether he just held out for a payout or not, which is money WRU can ill afford given the problems still there!
Man, I don't think the early yellow did Scotland any favours but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But I really thought they had a good shot at the win given the home field advantage, with England beating France at home in a bit of a shock I guess its Ireland's to lose now already after only 2 rounds.
Just jumping in to add, lots of people think this is a Public Sector problem with IT procurement. But coming up to 20 year experience in IT for corps, its pretty much the same thing.
Lots of moaning about bespoke, or multiple systems interacting together, so instead lets buy an "off-the-shelf" solution because we did an 80/20 and we won't need to customise anything.
Oh whoops, turns out the 20 was the critical stuff and we now need some convoluted "fix" by our hugely expensive consultants' favoured implementation shop (oh weird, they share the same parent company?!) that gets 3/4 of the way through before budget is pulled and some stuff just never works. If you're lucky its left in the old system, sometimes you just lose features.
I was considering responding to the consultation but only 3 small sections of the Napier-Taupo are included and I don't really see what the point is. They've made the bulk of the most dangerous stretch of highway 100km/h with no consultation:
I have more faith that Bishop listens to advice than Brown. The latter seems a lot more stubborn about just doing what the lobby has paid for, or what will "own the libs" than what's sensible.
Though I wonder if this is more that they've seen stats showing how much 80km/h reduced crashes, injuries & deaths and now want to be able to say well it was the public that decided, not us.
I had these sorts of issues too, always assumed it was something i'd goofed - but have never had similar with Caddy.
I used NPM as well, and eventually just got sick of various issues i'd had with it (probably all my fault, but...) so switched to Caddy and it was just so much easier and reliable for me. I'd heartily recommend it.

Its also a massive size jump too. I've stuck with my iPhone 8 in large part because I just don't want a massive phone in my pocket. At this rate god only knows what i'll do when the 8 finally dies, most manufacturers followed the trend and got their phones to swell.
