Jack Tame: There's no such thing as a free lunch
June 30, 2023 21:32 - 4 minutes - 4.08 MBSir Isaac Newton missed a trick. Albert Einstein did no better. Archimedes was good, sure. But he still failed to describe one of the most obvious principles defining almost every aspect of our mortal existance: There’s no such thing as a free lunch. So far as I’m concerned, the Theory of No Free Lunch applies to every aspect of our lives. It’s the rule of payoffs. The rule of compromises. Sure, you can drive a massive V8 that sounds awesome and goes like the clappers, but it’s probably go...

Ruud Kleinpaste: Jack wants to grow Pomegranates
June 23, 2023 23:30 - 5 minutes - 4.78 MBWelcome to winter! So you want to grow that tropical Pomegranate? Punica granatum is likely to have originated from Persia or Central Asia; a closely related ancestor (Punica protopunica) came from Yemen.

June 23, 2023 23:09 - 5 minutes - 4.81 MBNews is disappearing from Facebook in Canada Canada's Online News Act passed on Thursday which forces tech companies to negotiate with news publishers to link to their content. There's even a provision for binding arbitration if needed. Meta isn't happy.

Jack Tame: This whole thing says so much about human nature
June 23, 2023 21:22 - 4 minutes - 4.11 MBI’ll be honest with you, I’ve been utterly compelled from the very start. I first read about the missing Titan submersible a few hours after it was publicly reported missing, and I’ve been hanging on every update ever since. That’s not to say I ever thought there might be a happy ending to the whole saga. This is perhaps a confronting thing to say, but in that vessel, at that depth, at that location, an instantaneous catastrophic implosion was a preferable alternative to one in which the o...

June 16, 2023 23:55 - 7 minutes - 6.67 MB47 is statistically proven to be the most depressing point of your life...but here's how to turn it around.

No longer thirty and thriving? A recent study1 suggests that 47 years old is the most ‘depressing’ point of your life. But with every problem come...

June 16, 2023 21:33 - 4 minutes - 4.38 MBI think it rates as among the single most selfish acts I can ever recall.

Bob Campbell: Wine - 2022 Thornbury Pinot Gris, Waipara
June 09, 2023 23:45 - 3 minutes - 3.28 MBWhy I chose it: - Pinot Gris is to wine what mashed potatoes is to cuisine – a bit taken for granted. It’s a comfort wine, a crowd pleaser that is quietly growing both locally and internationally. - This is classic example – smooth textured and pleasingly fruity – seductively easy to drink. - Pinot Gris falls into two categories: Lusciously intense wines in the style of the French wines from Alsace and the leaner, drier and often tangy wines Pinot Grigio from Italy. (both are made from...

June 09, 2023 23:22 - 4 minutes - 3.91 MBJust before we start winter (almost 12 more days to go) on 22 June at 2.57 am, it might be a nice idea to look at planting trees The soil is still relatively warm – and hopefully not too wet yet What am I looking for there?

June 09, 2023 21:25 - 6 minutes - 5.8 MBI first realised it this week, running through the city and around Hagley Park on one of those beautiful, still, cold South Island evenings. For me, it was a long time coming. Twelve years and three months, all up. Maybe others felt it earlier. Maybe others haven’t reached the point yet. I know those who’ve lived in Christchurch right throughout, who never left the city, might have a completely different perspective, and that’s ok. But as a Cantab at heart, for the first time I feel ...

Ruud Kleinpaste: Plagues of skinks
June 03, 2023 00:05 - 4 minutes - 4.04 MBIn our old Auckland garden we used be surrounded by so-called rainbow skinks. They were everywhere and… what a cool name! The best way to describe them: a small grey-brown skink with a dark brown, lateral stripe along the body. When they are sun bathing it is easy to find a spectacular rainbow-coloured sheen on their scales. I quickly learned these fascinating and quite pretty animals are actually Australian interlopers, arriving here in the 1960s. Common in the North Island, especially ...
Hannah McQueen: The tide is changing when it comes to the property market
June 02, 2023 23:38 - 5 minutes - 5.12 MBThere are plenty of indicators suggesting that things could be about to turn when it comes to the property market. Building consents, migration numbers, LVR changes, auction clearance rates, interest rates peaking, etc – however, it’s important to call out what we’ve (hopefully!) learned from the pandemic surge and slump. Property is not just a one-way bet, it’s best as a long-term investment, so that means people need to go into it with their eyes wide open in order to be able to hold it...
