Hard News: All right, then – take me to Rio, in reply to Russell Brown,
Nah, there’s quite a lot on through the day.
Which is fine if you have all day to watch. Evenings don't offer much. So this looks like an Olympics where as a family we see absolutely nothing. Hey ho. Might tune in Saturday.

Yeah, I was surprised to find nothing on Prime. Then again, I have no idea what time Sunday night here is in Rio.

Wandered through the channels looking for Rio for a while before twigging: ah, Sky. Oh well. No Olympics for most of NZ.

Their remaining credibility?
Even I could afford that :)

Speaker: Are we seeing the end of MSM,…, in reply to Brent Jackson,
It’s Z and Gull at the moment, but Z only until the end of the month, which, bizarrely, is what the rest of the article is about.
Who cares about the shoddy reporting, when you can buy the front page! Maybe this explains my wailing above: Stuff stuffed up and gave Z a big freebie?
I'm tempted to ring the Press and ask what a front page costs these days. -
I didn't buy a copy (part of the problem) but was stunned to see the front page of the Chch Press this morning. Not a story in sight. Above the Press banner, a few 'on page three' items. Otherwise the *entire* front page was a big colour ad for Z energy.
Is this a thing nowadays? Do major daily newspapers regularly sell their whole front page?
It felt like watching "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold" - -
Southerly: A Tale of Two Iceblocks: Part…, in reply to Moz,
I looked at the specs on the Tesla powerwall. It’s a very expensive battery bank. Sadly lead acid still stores more watts for the dollar – although the specs weren’t that clear on how many cycles (they give a big range – to be fair, lead acid are like that too) and how low you could drain the powerwall. 8 kw hours isn't that much (we use about 7 most days.)

Thermocell also had (when I last had anything to do with them) very skilled technicians at design and installation.
Nick Williamson (Arthur's son) is still involved - a great guy - but more in the manufacture. Solar City, who have taken over the sales are, are ... hopeless (in my experience.)

Sold out :( At least it looks that way.
