  Stop believing in fossil fairytales, start listening to the experts... "$1 billion would be far better spent on funding home insulation to make energy use more efficient, or accelerating the growth of renewable energy. "Home insulation sounds incredibly boring, but you can ... get better homes for people, it can happen quickly, it employs a lot of people, and the results are pretty much guaranteed."" https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politics/756443/a-very-high-ri...

  Plant-based steak (Harmless Foods) pairs well with sauerkraut mash (Dutch edition) and mushroom gravy. 💯 Plant-based goodness on a plate. #NewZealand #vegan #vegetarian #PlantBased #foodie #winter

  Meanwhile in the UK... "millionaires asking Andy Burnham to tax them more... We can afford it. We're not talking about higher taxes on those who get up and go to work for their income every day, but on the very richest whose income is derived from the wealth they hold." Another example that shows they won't flee if you tax the rich a little bit more. Small change, big positive impact. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgjp79m42go #UKpol #NZpol #TaxTheRich

  Chilly & relaxed Saturday... 10-15km/h wind (SSW), 5.1C but feels much colder. After a trip to the local Vitamin, Fiber & Mineral Dealer (farmer's market) it's time to stay inside and decide what to do next: finish & publish a blog post, tweak back-end of one of the blogs or work on the next steps of the #HomeAutomation project... Or do it all! 😆 #WeekendVibes #blogger

  Just a chilly start of the day: -2.34C. But Marty #LEGO McFly is ready for some ice skating 😁 RNZ: "...severe inland frosts for most of the South Island... lowest temperature at Mount Cook, where the mercury plunged to -6.3C on Sunday morning." #winter #NewZealand #Neuseeland #NieuwZeeland #frost #BTTF

  Sunday's mood... Thor's Cup Norwegian #FarmhouseAle by #GarageProject while playing Parks #boardgame. So why is there a #crochet penguin sitting on a coffee cup? Good question... When playing Parks with 2 people there's an invisible player active called Ranger Teddy. So Frosty the #penguin - a crochet creation by @eswoooo - has stepped in as Ranger Teddy. Now it's Frosty's Cup next to Thor's Cup 😆 #CraftBeer

  🇳🇱 Yup inderdaad... Leuk artikel. #TeamZwerven "Zij wil op avontuur zonder navigatie, hij wil langs alle pins op zijn must-see-lijst. Ze proberen het allebei... Wie gaat er nog op de bonnefooi op vakantie? .... Ze zoeken het uit op een kibbeltrip naar Lille." https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/07/24/zij-wil-op-avontuur-zonder-navigatie-hij-wil-langs-alle-pins-op-zijn-must-see-lijst-ze-proberen-het-allebei-a4932565 #reizen #RoadTrip

  Power up Tuesday 🎮 Time to relax and have fun... @kererubrewing Night Spirit 2020 barrel aged stout, Steamdeck powered up and meal prep done. Perfection 👌 "2020 edition of Night Spirit. 3636 bottles produced. 20 months on American Oak." Btw, wouldn't a Kererū x Moersleutel collab be awesome? 🤔 #CrazyIdea #CraftBeer #BarrelAged #stout #stouturday #NewZealand

  Prohibition Porter by Liberty Brewing 🇳🇿 has a special place in my hoppy & malty heart. Their 2017 edition is where it all started... Seeing the beauty that lies in darkness. Barrel aged magic. This 2022 version was the last one of my Prohibition Porter stash... And the last of the bottled version. Now all that remains are the modern canned versions. #CraftBeer #stouturday #BarrelAged #porter #NewZealand

  As it's almost impossible to get some plant-based burger patties in NZ nowadays... Morningstar, Bird's Eye, even Impossible and Beyond seem to have left the market... It's time to create 'em yourself. DIY patties. Tasty attempt nr. 1 😋 Good mix of TVP, beans and breadcrumbs... Next time add some vital wheat gluten as well. Combined with Nu-Dairy's plant-based cheese and condiments it was the perfect Thursday lunch. #vegan #vegetarian #foodie #PlantBased...

  Some days just call for something heavy 🤘 tasty and dark. Moon Dog's Black Lung X is just what you need. This #BA stout is soft as silk with a boozy & smokey rhythm section playing in the background. Nothing overpowers, extremely well-balanced. "...we sourced some of the smokiest barrels we could find all the way from the home of smoky whisky, Islay, Scotland.... we brewed the biggest, booziest, Black Lungiest, Black Lung..." #stouturday #CraftBeer #Islay #Ba...

  I wish organisations would stop using "We're not that security conscious" when you point out flaws in their processes or workflows. 🤦‍♂️ So basically you're saying that you don't care about your customers and their data. #security #NewZealand #privacy

  "Whittaker's drop in rank isn't because it's doing less on ethical and environmental factors - it's because other companies are doing more." Well... Standing still means going backwards. So yeah, you are doing less compared to the competition. https://www.rnz.co.nz/life/food/whittaker-s-extremely-disappointed-by-results-of-chocolate-scorecard #chocolate #NewZealand

  How metalheads select new shoes for the gym... Well these 3 are somewhat similar in purpose, price and comfort... Oh that one is "named after" a #BlindGuardian song 🤘 Hell yeah that's the one for me 😄 And now I hear that theme park / carnival intro in my head every time I step into the gym 😆 https://youtu.be/QRIVQCMWn7s #metal #rock #LiveMusic #MetalLife

  A strong & sweet start of the weekend. Hellbender - BA American Barleywine "Hellbender is a leviathan of a beer made with over a tonne of malt and a mountain of American hops. You know it would taste great right now, but a beer this big will only get better with age. What will it taste like in a year? Two years? More? Will you ever get to find out..." #CraftBeer #barleywine #GarageProject #friyay

  Might as well end the weekend the same way it started: strong & sweet. 🍻 Wooden Dragon barleywine by De Klep Brewery 🇳🇱 "Two firsts for De Klep: canned beer and wood ageing. A superb combination of Calvados infusion, ageing on acacia wood and a base of their well-known and award-winning barleywine, Draakstaeker." #BeerGeeksSwap2026 #CraftBeer #barleywine

  From #LinkedIn to LinkedOut.. Been waiting for an alternative... So when #Nolto launched I had to try it. Its LinkedIn data import made it easy to get started. Just need to fine-tune the look & feel a bit 😁 Perfect task for the next few days. In the meantime, my Fedi business profile is live 🚀 👇 https://nolto.social/profile/digigeek #DigitalMarketing #eCommerce

  Way to go, RNZ 🤦‍♂️ Another rage-bait title created: "Ditch NZ Super entirely, minor party says" So all the scrollers can get mad and hate parties like TOP. 👉 Real story: "Wong said TOP would replace NZ Super - along with all other forms of government assistance - with a new citizens' income. This is similar to a universal basic income but is means tested so that people who earn more than $350,000 a year cannot access it." https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/p...

  When a colleague says he used Grok #AI for something and you say: Oh noooo 😱 did you actually use the most racist and Nazi AI there is? Really? Why? When they reply with "no need to get political" it says it all. 🤦‍♂️
