Ahh that also explains why it seems to be a google only thing. Thank you though, knowing that it’s through the shopping api will hopefully help me find a solution (if it exists).

I’ve got a home server that I vpn into for pihole anyway so will just host it on the same machine. In theory I shouldn’t notice too much difference in the way of response time

The main issue is finding the time and energy to get it all set up and running properly.

Looks like Google’s Ai Overview has been pushed onto the NZ market. That’s finally tipped me over to make DuckDuckGo my default. Next stop, hosting my own searxng instance.

I just purchased a new car as well and like you it was the first time. Mine needed to be registered and they couldn’t do that until they received full payment because they registered it in my name. As I was picking up during the weekend they couldn’t just do it when I picked it up as there admin person only worked during the week.

I had reservations about fronting up with payment before I got the keys but it made sense once they explained it. They probably want to take care of all the paper work so you can walk in and out without a lot of faffing about.

There were chips that suffered from oxidative flaws during the manufacturing process which Intel didn’t tell anybody about until July of this year. You are correct that they aren’t on sale now but it’s not correct to say this was only a voltage issue.

Wow that’s an amazing view. Love how you framed it, that is some solid composition.

Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased.

Yes the notably socialist empire of Bloomberg, used by communist stock traders around the world, is biased against the totally rational and very cool Trump economic “plan”.

Maybe adopting failed economic policies from the 1920s (and older) isn’t a winning formula?

Yup, you’ve got everything from chilled liquid, to pop-like anthems, to full on neuro and dark step. Love it.

I used to love your card games before you got all political.

Your mom used to love you before you got so fucking stupid

Huh, I’ve never made that connection before, as I’m not a huge carrot cake fan, but yes it’s very similar. Would say the sugar content is way higher though.

On a hot Cinnabon it melts and goes all gooey but once it cools down it’s still malleable unlike the really brittle sugar crystal coating on the cafe ones.

To protect the precious yeeees?

Yes, primarily because of the icing. Real Cinnabons use cream cheese whereas the icing cafes use is just sugar. They also aren’t left out in the cabinet to go cold and dry throughout the day.

Remember when the Dixie Chicks were cancelled? There’s your answer as to why mainstream musicians won’t risk it.

Feel bad for the crew, but damn I love that succinct punchy headline.

Thanks that’s actually useful to know. Been through a lot of restructures, and obviously there’s a lot of turnover during those times, but people have always left on their own terms.

This is a new one for me.

Well I survived the redundancies but some good work friends haven’t. I’m going to be seriously f’d off if the company is cruel enough to let them go this side of Christmas.

Yes, austerity during a recession does generally extend and heighten the recession. John Maynard Keynes must be rolling in his grave.

I really hope you’re right, and some of their rushed decisions make it seem like they think the same, but National is still polling 10% higher than Labour.

Thanks. Unless something has drastically changed I’ll be safe but will be losing a lot of good colleagues.
