They both seem equally bad to me.

You don't have to have either problem though; both can be avoided easily.

But the germs aren't smaller, I mean if a kid gets attacked by a bear...

The crystals thing is sweet as, BPPV, it's when crystals land on these balance-sensing hairs in your inner ear and give you vertigo, but there's this short maneuver exercise you do that dislodges them and shifts them somewhere else. I've had it a few times in my life and always shifted them no problem.

Some people get recurring BPPV and apparently you need a physio to help with some other manouver if they're in a hard to reach place.

But with a virus its when the actual part of your ear with the hairs in it gets inflamed and messes them up, can be for weeks, an unlucky few never recover properly. The manouvers don't touch it. Then the third cause is this thing called a vestibular migraine some people just get.

Side note, they didn't break in. They did it in public during opening hours. They were charged with wilful damage not b&e.

Which made me wonder at the time... How on earth do you get away with bringing in all your gear and abseiling inside a public building with an angle grinder???

I'm wondering what solution you'd like to see?

Looks like Paul Goldsmith told Te Papa to take it down.

The display was obviously misleading/ahistorical and it was a known problem, so paying to just put a new copy of a flawed display up again would be a problematic use of taxpayer funding.

People had been writing letters of complaint, petitions, trying to liaise with Te Papa for literally years about this problem with no action taken. There were also peaceful protests about it outside, pretty sure some of them got arrested in 2021 for gluing themselves to steps.

The whole thing could have been avoided.

Oh, sorry, my bad, didn't notice the two names. These are the ones who are out in June?

I am so confused by this hut system. It just doesn't seem like a good idea.

I thought it's just that they have smaller bodies?

Yeah viral vertigo was kind of horrendous. If you've ever been knocked out by a blow to the head, at one point it felt like that only for hours not seconds. Glad it's gone!

Cool, I'll put that show on my list. Forbrydelsen isn't going to last forever.

I miscounted my caterpillars btw, there's at least 7!

I think blind marking is important. I have literally heard people objecting to proposed grades with phrases like "but he's a bad student" or "but she's really bright."

I agree with this. It's a bit like the first 2 pancakes, you have to go back over the first half a dozen once you're in the zone.

I used to grade hard copies a lot, after I graded I'd put them in order from best to worst (numerical grades) and then do quick comparisons between an assignment and its neighbours in the pile. It's an easy way to "quality control".

As for the comments, that's a self-discipline issue. If you're giving, say, 4 positives and 4 negatives per assignment and have standard ways of phrasing, it shouldn't deteriorate.

It's not even leaseshold proper. It's baches on crown land with licenses that need renewing every 5 years. Some of them have until June 2024 and others another 15 years.

The thing is, no one was allowed to actually live in them full time until 2015. So I think what's happened is people thought cool, an affordable way to have a house, poured all their money in and then this... but yeah they've known for years.

By "climate change" specifically the flooding means the council can't give it a sewerage and wastewater system. People can be really deep in denial about climate stuff; you try to warn them and they think it's "political". Smh.

(I was just curious and read a bunch of articles to get a better picture. This from 2019 sets most of it out).

Great that you're getting hearing aids! Probably a whole ton of birdsong awaits you.

Yeah? Sounds fun, will give it a go sometime. (We're currently only watching one show a night and it has to be Forbryndelsen or I will riot). I quite enjoy silly space shows like Red Dwarf and Lexx though it's probably not quite that far along.

The virus I had wasn't a cold, it mainly involved severe vertigo, though it then turns into a respiratory infection as a complication in pediatric patients, apparently. I guess if your kids start throwing up, ask them if the room is spinning!

Omg I remember Diablo! When Diablo 1 came out, my whole flat's social life went on pause until we'd finished it! It's cool that you're reconnecting with your friend.

Spring onions, mmmm.

Nope sadly it's just plain old indica. Neighbour seems to have a patch of it but I can't point the finger too hard since we are the ones who have tradescantia.
