Musicals are my jam. Data is nice, but open data is so much better. Rollercoasters are awesome. Tea is good. So is courage.

it's pretty funny that "new zealand" "nationalists" are so insistent on using a name not even given by the dutch guy who didn't land here, but dutch cartographers who realised that the guy who didn't land here was wrong about where he thought he was

I've noticed in most new builds I see in Auckland (Glen Innes, Hobsonville, Kumeu, etc) the houses don't have eves. Why did we do away with eves? They seem very practical, for a start it allowed windows to be open in wet weather, and kept out the midday sun in summer. Any ideas?
