I'm not against either idea per se, but it seems to me that investment in better PT and cycling infra and otherwise encouraging people who are able to use it as an alternative to their car is the more efficient and future proof solution to reducing congestion. More car lanes just makes the place less liveable, and too often it just moves the choke point instead of eliminating it.

It sounds to me like National is just doing its typical conservative "we'll do everything like the 1950s because it worked for white men and appeals to egotists" spiel again.

Indeed, well done. No tolerance to harmful bigotry. Religious beliefs are no excuse for being an appalling human being.

Oh yay, you're here! Still hoping to find one of these sometime 😁

Sounds good! I mean I call what I cook chilli but I chuck a heap of veggies in, so it's more of a spicy vegetable stew :)

On its own (no rice or anything), topped with some grated cheese :)

Cooking chilli here. Big batch so we don't have to cook for a few days.

I have already deleted my account, but I was mostly a lurker so I lost little of value. Planning to stay away or at least not make it an active part of my day.

Added to watch list, ta.

Jetlag has unexpected benefits: I got up at 4 this morning.

Still need to shower and dress though.

Good call on brunch, we went for a walk into town and had brunch at Field & Green, very tasty.

We're both horribly jet-lagged (got back from a trip to Europe yesterday), so a snooze at some point this arvo is likely.

Another Tick fan I see!
