I mostly remember they smelled nice and had high print quality! But yes pencil. And foldy bits.
Must re read Freakonomics sometime. That's hilarious but I guess to be expected. Remember teaching inspectors?
Teacher: "Now remember class, an inspector is coming to inspect you all today so you must be nice and quiet and on your best behaviour all day"
Me (to my friends) "we can just act normal, mum says the inspector is really only inspecting Mr Mackie's teaching". π
That's a cool idea!
There are so many drugs sort of like that rn. They get approved for one thing and then end up being approved for something totally different because it turns out they seem to do this other thing because reasons.
Found out the other day people are using low dose lithium of all things for cardiovascular health.
Oh okay, didn't pick up on that being the argument. Fair enough.
Thanks for clarification, that makes more sense. Standalones remain 30m2. Hmm I can think of some housing stock in my town that magically will become compliant with that change.
donβt see why floor size would have any effect on the weather tightness
No neither do I; that was a non sequitur from me, just general musing/thinking aloud about the regulatory climate. Sorry!
That seriously did cross my mind when I found I wasn't bed bound! I did get the dead arm and that hard sore red patch around the site though, so they definitely injected me with something!
But yeah super happy about it. π
Progressive Assessment Tests (PATs).
Ha ha I remember those from the 1980s! π Whole bunch of multi choice.
I remember coming home and apologizing to my mum that I'd zoned out during the Listening Comprehension and probably failed, her reply was something like don't worry about it because PAT tests are just the government testing the schools.
A doctor once pointed out to me that every time there is cell replenishment, there's a possibility of cancer. πΆ
I'm recuperating from a journey at the moment and too lazy to battle the newly terible search engine capabilities to find the articles I got the number from but as I understand it cancer scientists were pointing out that around 60- something percent of cancers in the body cannot be accounted for by environmental factors (diet, pollutants etc) once you control for those risk factors. Obviously it varies by cancer type, but this was the general estimate.
I think you're right that knowledge will increase but I think chance is worth bearing in mind because I think knowledge of external risks (and internal ones, like a bunch of missing immune cells) tends to be overstated in our thinking. Someone I knew with leukemia was the healthiest most clean living person I've ever met and I got so tired of people asking me what he had done to get it.
50m2 as being considered the minimum for banks to lend to you,
Isn't there a 60m2 unpermitted dwellings law coming down the pipeline?
I think there could be another leaky buildings style crisis on the horizon.
Hi everyone! My big news is when I got my last covid jab I bounced back from it in just over a week. Didn't mention it earlier in case I jinxed myself. This is the first time ever that it hasn't knocked me back hard.
So I sort of feel like this year I've got an extra 6 weeks in the year!
Used some of it to visit family for a week. Also, got to hang out with a really cute dog. I love how earnest dogs can be about stuff, it's really endearing.
I don't really understand why you seem to think either of these:
someone getting a university degree should have to primarily benefit NZ as a whole
OIA requests should have to benefit NZ as a whole
It sounds authoritarian and communist to me as well, and I'd guessed you were maybe centre-right or at least a proponent of status quo neoliberal economics, and pro freedom of education and information! π
Definitely. Something like 2/3 of cancer is luck for example.
Hope you're right.
