That's odd, if it's completely broken before 7 years, then it's replaced under warranty for me. Still free. By batteries, I'm talking disposable batteries, not the rechargeable ones. So 50 will last me a while. I like th

That's the great thing about being in New Zealand, I get upgraded for free every 7 years. A pack of 50 batteries will cost me $30. But mine has rechargeable batteries too if I need. Surprised Japan doesn't do the same. However, ma

I don't really know much about sushi, but this was a fascinating read. The entire time I kept wondering what the difference would be between the machine made sushi and the stuff made by the guys in the documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi

They said they were using fake email addresses. I'm also not sure if there's any meaningful way that Reddit can fix this sort of issue either. Sure, they can keep an eye on some suspicious accounts but yeah... Usually you don&#x27

I don't buy this either. It's $2/kg right now. a propeller for a destroyer might weigh what, 5 tons? at most... so that's 5000 * $2 = $10k - I have no idea where the author is getting $500k from.

We do have AirBnB here don't we? I wonder how they're doing... EDIT: It's a serious question. With the rise of tourism, and seemingly lack of accomodation, are they doing any better in NZ than they have in recent years?
