Nothing wrong with being a Swiftie. I’m ARMY and Blink.

You mean classic R&R fan :wink:

Sooooo NZ decided to have it’s own “Freedom Convoy” of trucks.

Here’s roughly how it went -

  • Their social media was compromised by trolls directly people to random places.
  • North island convoy got fragmented and lost multiple times
  • Part of the South Island Convoy lost the main body of the convoy as some guy decided to go home for a cup of tea and a bunch of them followed him
  • Someone either one of the organizers or faking being one of the organized may of absconded with $50,000 of the crowd funded money
  • South Island convoy may of had issues getting on the ferry going across in bad weather with 2m high swells.
  • Ferry travel requires either a vaccine pass or a negative test done within 72 hours of departure … this whole movement was about not needing any of that to travel
  • Once in Wellington half the convoy took the wrong turn off and ended up in Petone (other side of the mountains from Wellington)
  • A lot of them arrived in Wellington and couldn’t find anywhere to park
  • Their protest in front of the Beehive was hijacked by a different protest group who aren’t complaining for the same things they were.
  • Mostly because no one thought to bring a PA system
  • Part of the convoy decided to join that other group so the convoy organizers attempted to trap them in by barricading the car park
  • Some convoy members can’t afford to drive back so are stuck in Wellington until pay day.

Have you taken any Potassium? Have any bananas or sweet potatoes laying about you could eat?

Edited to add: There are quite a few other foods that are rich in Potassium as well.

no I don’t.

Man almighty I am so sick of doing other peoples jobs. I have my own job to do and that keeps me plenty busy without doing three other peoples job.

Forecast says we should hit the 40s today. Time to unpack the flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts.

They are protesting at the Ambassador Bridge. They have blocked the entrance to Canada. We have over a thousand trucks so far lined up all along the roads and freeways of downtown Detroit. All sitting there waiting to cross.

Home-made chili is good for potassium. The beans and tomatoes are all good sources of it.

Got a “check” in the mail yesterday. $3500. If I cash it, I’ll end up owing $6200+. Yeesh. That’s some steep interest.

And… :popcorn:

Last check I got in the mail was in October. Seems I overpaid my final car payment, so the financing company paid over a dollar in postage to return my 73 cents. :rofl:

I’d cash it, but I start to giggle every time I look at it, so I keep it around for the bad days.

Ain’t these the folk who wanted to make it legal to do what it takes to clear out protests like that?

Anywho, howdy folks, long time no see, etc. etc.

Wings crossed that Blizz will take heed to the post I made on the PTR forum about correcting the disparity between the Horde & Alliance Cata portals.

My Druid really would love it if she could quickly return to the JC hut from the Earthshrine instead of being forced to fly back from the portal room. All the Alliance return portals all go through their Earthshrine.

I mostly mention this cause when you are down to the last few mins before reset, you are guaranteed that the JC daily will be Elemental Goo, lol.

Randomness. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a thread with more comments than views. The things you notice when you should probably be asleep.

Guess some posters were staying on the thread’s page versus exiting it and only going back when they were alerted to a new post.

In this case, that’s a good thing.

Guilty.

Nothing says ‘I shouldn’t be here’ like having the 152nd post in a 139-post thread.

Fair enough! It was rolling so fast for a while there that there didn’t seem to be a point in closing it when the dumpster fire was at it’s peak.

I think we all knew better but eh. It’ll be locked or disappeared soon enough. Passed the time unconstructively if nothing else.
