I rarely use Twitter these days, but checking the flooding hashtag yesterday, the first thing I was saw was a close up erect penis.
Thanks so much @elonmusk for facilitating yet another vile online space. You are the biggest dick of all, with all the #smalldickenergy
I 100% support the NZ #firefighters strike. Firefighters in NZ earn minimum wage. Many are working 80 hour weeks (away from their homes and families) with no over-time pay. They are quitting in droves, making the situation worse. It's not safe, or humane. theguardian.com/world/2022/a…
Stoked that the @tendnz app won Gold for Digital Product and Gold for User Experience in the @DINZ @bestawards. Props to @lukeharriesnz @fastchicken and others for the mad engineering skillz and Captain @josh_robb.
Soooo...#WhatsApp just made a call (to a friend) from my phone, on speaker, all by itself. I was across the other side of the room, no-one was talking so no chance of voice command. Another witness in the room so it ain't me going crazy. Watch out!

A big problem with the fight against misinformation is that amateur reckons are free, and accurate, science-backed information is increasingly behind paywalls. So when the average person 'does their research' - what are they going to find?
all the people reckoning we should be constructing purpose-built MIQ facilities have clearly not had to try find a sparkie in the last 2 years
Wow. @FisherPaykelNZ appliance servicing is epic.
Booked a service only last night, got a spot for this morning, part in the van, repaired within 1 hour and at reasonable cost. Super professional technicians.
Nice to be able to say something great about an experience!
Helped someone address their finances last night. Enraged at the shockingly poor usability of predatory credit providers. It's how they steal from the poor. We need to impose standards of usability, as well as security, that financial providers must meet.
Been thinking of a fun game. Ask 10 credit provider CEOs to attempt to complete tasks their users need to. Either they do it, or I try it publically and expose every detail of the horror.
I'd start with these cowboys, Flexigroup (QCard, Farmers card etc). I mean who even runs this outfit? Their website looks like a Nigerian diet pills phishing exercise made by a child. nz.flexigroup.co.nz/
Just stood in a line in a bank for 30 mins to activate a card. Like the dark ages. What century are you working in @bnz?
