"Interest in Kiwi homes from the United Arab Emirates has increased sharply ​ in the weeks following National’s proposal to lift the foreign buyers ban on high-end homes"

National was going to allow foreign investment into the housing market??? Yeah, that's really going to help with our crises. I get it's only 'high-end homes' but more buyers inevitably means less supply.

Just some lighter news to break up the doom a bit

I remember playing with 3D Movie Maker extensively. Me and my mate would make shitty movies usually ripping off James Bond or Indiana Jones.

I also used the other McZee programs, Creative Writer and Fine Artist, which were basically a fancy text editor and a fancy paint program.

It feels like we don't have anything like that today, there doesn't seem to be this type of creative game out there. I would have expected 3D Movie Maker to have unending sequels, like the one with Nickelodeon, getting more advanced with each decades pop characters, but it just stopped.

I guess I'm looking for kid-friendly versions of business applications.

Like Creative Writer is Word for kids, Fine Artist is Photoshop for kids, 3DMM is Maya/Blender for kids…

Just to clarify, I'm talking about thousands of torrents across hundreds of different directories.

I decided I would actually take a scroll through hexbear to see how their LGBT community was getting on, since that seems to be the largest and the LGBT communities I have access to are sadly lacking in activity.

I checked out their main page and read a few posts. There's just something that irks me about people glorifying Mao who was numerically worse than Hitler.

@[email protected] you made the right choice.

Just kidding, there is no closure. I could not replicate this issue again after multiple reboots.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their suggestions, and easier to make a post here than reply to each single comment.

When I was working minimum wage at a gas station many eons ago, we would have '2 for $x' specials where x is less than 2 times the individual price of whatever item.

People would often not want to buy 2, but I would ring up 2 in the till for the special price and charge them for the single. Then when the next person did the same, I would charge them for the other single.

So over the day, I would sell 10 energy drinks at say $4, but ring them up as 5 '2 for $6' specials. This would put the till up by $10, and then I would use that $10 to have a free meal.

Anyone else do anything like that?

Wish there was an option to have this as default

I want to know what the defendant did.

They were on the news:
