Turns out the paid "cloud hosted" version is run by a Wellington company, out of Catalyst House. Should I be surprised?

This is what home delivered milk looks like - in a 1 litre glass bottle.
The milk is unclassified, it’s not blue top or “trim” or full fat, etc. It’s just “milk”.
Tastes very nice, quite creamy.

On a wet wet night, riding an ebike home is the fastest transport by far. 12 mins to Northland.

If you find yourself sitting in cars now and then, this might be interesting to you and help you prevent accidents.
So if you open a cars door from the inside, you open the door with the hand that's not next to the door. This means that you turn around you body which automatically turns your vision in the direction where other cars or bikes might come from.
I was taught this early on I believe, anyways this is the way I have always done it.
In my EV Q&A series, next up is “If I go up a hill, do I gain power when I go down?”

@nigel SparkNZ are able to do eSIM for iPhones that have eSIM support - the XR and XS right now, I think - and maybe for Android phones that have eSIM.
Basically, rock up to a store and port your SIM in. Works great. 😄
