As a NZer I'm Insulted you aren't excluding us along with Australia.

(NZ) Nothing to see here. Move along.

Aha! So that's the thing. I'd been wondering why suddenly bottles and juice containers are farking annoying to open. And it's global! I'm happy it's for good reasons but the bit of my brain that gets annoyed by it wishes there was another solution.

I find it weird that a large percentage of the people going on strike voted for the current government.

Right

That ain't no baby. That is a leprecaun.

I was in Minneapolis for work (coming from the UK), and it was -20C/-4F outside, with snow on the ground. Totally surprised me to see some guy on a motocross bike fueling up at a gas station. Brave young person. Once it hits 8C high for a day, my bike goes into hibernation (Now living in Finland).

Shouldn't this read, "New conservative NZ government scraps..."?

I'm currently trying to learn Finnish. This stresses me out.

I'll be there at New Years. One of my favourite places to be. It's remote, beautiful, you can see seals playing in the surf or resting in that cave. I'm just a dumb ass for moving to a country literally on the other side of the world, so it's far-king expensive for me to get there now.

Sounds like a Finnish song.
