@Hooroo How much was the trip, I saw the pricing for the new company that's starting in Welly and they seemed pretty expensive.

I only loaded $10 and it gave my $6:88 credit (which I assume is because of the FX rate and they operate in USD?)

The 1.7k trip cost US$4 but I put the scooter on hold (which you pay for) as I went to two different cafes so total time with scooter 20mins. (I think you pay buy the minute)

I think I have heard it works out to be about $20/hour

Cheers! Two cafes?

@Duluth Easy decision to make. Leon would have seen what the Tahs did to the Crusaders, so he'd be writing that fixture off and targeting the Stormers while they're vulnerable.

@Salacious-Crumb said in US Politics:

The prosecutor found exactly ZERO evidence to indict. That’s why there are ZERO indictments and ZERO recommendations for indictments.

Those statements don't hold. Just because there are zero indictments doesn't mean zero evidence, just that in the US Attorney's experience the evidence isn't enough to be capable of achieving a conviction.

He's not wrong. Mainstream media have been pushing a dangerous conspiracy theory for two years..yet big tech promote this fake news while at the same time supressing their competition.

All sorts of events right across the spectrum have been postponed or cancelled over the last ten days. I’ve been closely involved with two that were affected, yet with completely contrasting topics.

Much has simply depended on police resourcing, more so in places where police were taken from for Christchurch.

@Hooroo The market is OK. The makeover is good but not a place I'd choose to linger. I was there Saturday as well to scoff oysters but I walked

We could have well been there at the same time! The fresh bluffies are amazing having been freshly shucked in front of ya.

I agree, it is for a quick bite to eat and a beer. Not for a big session with friends/family

I don’t think they own it - pretty sure they have a leased share, but my understanding is that things are in order on their side.

It’s super scary - something worth that much being rabbitted around your property at night - included get off and bolting around for a bit apparently - then being shoved onto a float in the middle of the night. I think it’d never been on a float either. Lucky the thing didn’t end up getting hurt.

Absolutely!!! Thoroughbreds are super strong and super brittle! Could have easily gone off.

Glad to hear the horse is ok. If you get more information, I would love to know the "why" of this, as in why they thought they were entitled to retrieve it
