What do you think about people who don’t like crunchy or smooth?

Yeah I went and read his Wikipedia page after seeing your post!

Well they are probably locked behind cabinets like in Michael Hill, but you have to take them out at some point.

It seems another person was found critically injured at the Gun City. I have serious questions around how they haven’t been found until now but I’m sure answers will come in time.

There’s a photo of the front of the shop there. It doesn’t seem any more secure than PB Tech.

Haha I love it. I don’t like peanut butter (or peanuts), but it’s still a humourous read. Apparently the existence of smooth peanut butter is controversial, as per the article but also the comments.

Courtesy of Ben G:

I was hoping to open this article and see a single sentence, or at least a list of zero out of ten scores. Smooth peanut butter should be banned.

New? Last time I moved house I just swapped the shower head from the old house with the one at the new house, no one is paying that much attention. Wife thought I was crazy but I have no regrets.

I’ve never been to Gun City. Could they not just walk out like any other shoplifting?

I’m just imagining someone making out like they are going to buy the air rifle, having the rifle and ammunition on the counter, then just grabbing and running.

I have to say I haven’t seen much of John Campbell for decades, I know he’s been doing things but I haven’t actively sought out watching or listening to his shows. He does seem like a great all around guy though!

Yeah I can’t imagine the result of Chris Penk leaving having any serious impact on who we have in government after the election.

I never considered that a short sharp cook would be better than longer at a lower heat. I already only cook the pizzas 3-5 mins.

Hmm, maybe I will need to learn how to hack my oven.

Has anyone checked out the new walk/cycleway in Wellington heading to the Hutt? I was talking to a colleague and he said he and his family have walked it 40 times… so I’m falling a bit behind.

We’re running a little light on responses from LemmyNZ users or subscribers.

I have too (uBlock Origin)! On chrome as I’m not allowed Firefox. But when I flick through the chrome store, almost all extensions are blocked. It’s like it was a deliberate decision to let us have it, which is considering the maturity of the organisation in other ways.

My oven has a pizza mode 😆. Surely at 450 Celsius the pizza is just gonna come out black… I think pizza mode is more like 260 heated from underneath.

Someone robbed a gun store then got shot dead by police after a chase.

A statement from police:

Statement attributable to Superintendent Sunny Patel, Auckland City District Commander:

An armed man fleeing from Police has been shot at Sylvia Park Shopping Centre this afternoon.

Earlier this afternoon, at around 2pm, Police received information about a theft of an air rifle at Gun City in Penrose.

The offender has fled in a vehicle and units have been dispatched.

The Police Eagle helicopter deployed to the area and has located the white Suzuki Swift travelling near Sylvia Park.

Eagle has monitored overhead and tracked the vehicle travelling into the Pakuranga area, where it has entered the car park at Pakuranga Plaza.

From there, the vehicle quickly exited onto the Pakuranga Highway and began driving erratically towards Panmure.

Units successfully deployed spikes as the vehicle continued towards Panmure.

The vehicle continued towards the Mount Wellington Highway, still being driven in an erratic manner.

It has become stranded at an intersection outside Sylvia Park Shopping Centre.

At this point, approximately 2.50pm, the offender fled on foot carrying a long-barrelled air rifle.

He has run on foot onto the grounds of the shopping centre.

Units have pursued the offender as he headed towards an entrance into the shopping centre.

Whilst still in possession of the air-rifle, he has been confronted underneath an overpass where he was been shot by Police.

First aid was immediately provided however the offender has been pronounced deceased at the scene.

Police have now stood up a critical incident investigation into the events that have unfolded this afternoon.

Our investigation is still in the very early stages of piecing together all the events.

A cordon has been set up at the scene, and we ask that people avoid the area at this stage.

These events have unfolded very quickly in a busy area, with people shopping at the mall and the afternoon rush hour getting underway.

I can reassure the public that there is no ongoing risk.

Police will provide further information as our enquiries develop.

You and them can refer to just you and one other. English pronouns get weird.
