I was there longer term, but I did lots of day/weekend trips around the place. Being from WA, it's a lot less travel to reach interesting/touristy places than I'm used to so that was great. Weather permitting, hiking the Tongariro crossing was my favourite short trip (it took us a couple of attempts as it was -10C at the red crater the first time we went so we just did the first part). That also gives you a LOTR experience (they filmed Mordor scenes there) while only paying for parking, and without falling into the tourist trap that is Hobbiton.

On my favourite trip, I chucked a mattress in the back of my car and my mountain bike on top of that and went on a solo camp/bike trip around the north island for a bit over a week. I did most of the Waikato river trails which were excellent. The trails near New Plymouth were another highlight.

It's hard to go wrong really, did more touristy stuff in South island but I'm a sook with cold weather

It was weird... Nice visuals and I enjoyed thinking about the concept once all was revealed, but narratively it was a bit weak and the actions of several characters don't really make sense to me in context. It was enjoyable as like a super-extended flylo music video lol

Yeah, I start the shower hot then gradually increase the temp as I get used to it, and I'm usually in there until the hot water runs out. I've had housemates comment on how hot I have it based on the position I left the tap mixer. But it's a critical part of my wake-up routine, the very first part of which is getting up to pee. So I rarely need to pee mid-shower. If I do, I just hop out and pee while dripping wet and hop back in.

Anyway, between that and my morning coffee I need to get up at least an hour before I leave for work. I'll compromise with a takeaway coffee if I'm running late, but if I'm so behind that showering is gonna make me late, so be it.

To me it's like saying, what are you actually doing when you get a massage?

Enjoying it

Prevent piracy? They've literally just created another legitimate use case for homebrew. This will cause piracy

Will likely change course next election due to the bullshit loophole in the electoral reform bill now in effect where multiple donations below the new cap can be spread across different branches of a party, disproportionately impacting minor parties and independents with few or one branch

It will likely be sent to the UK, but still handled in accordance with their Swiss privacy policy. The UK entity should be well versed in operating under GDPR and the Swiss entity would be liable under Swiss law in the event of any breach related to mishandling.

Afaik if there was a Swiss-originating alternative it would still operate under anti-money laundering legislation and as such your info would still be shared internationally in various circumstances determined by them. You would only be able to unilaterally revoke permission to use your data and therefore lose access to the service.

This is inherent to this kind of service, not any particular company.

It would previous help me to regulate my appetite, helping with my comorbid binge eating disorder. I could get dopamine from smoking weed that I'd otherwise get from food. Of course, I'd usually get it from both, but having a good time stoned was definitely a fun thing for me that'd reduce my general cravings for other stimulation. But the meds are more effective (and specifically kill appetite as a side effect)
