The Northern Boys record label is Singhusworld which is actually a dairy/cornershop that got into music to make money to save the dairy from being shut down after it sold this home made drink (nonalcoholic). Their whole online footprint is priceless.

If you like Northern Boys you might like these gangster guys

Well unfortunately no, this is the tragedy of the octopuses - they don’t know their parents and grandparents. Their mothers die when they are born and their fathers are absent, and they are solitary.

Their only chance at learning is social or observational learning from peers but because of the territory arrangements even that doesn’t happen a lot as far as we know, though scientists have observed some younger octopuses learning from watching older ones from a distance.

Octopuses are incredibly smart. They can infer from context, make generalizations, spatially imagine objects, and even show altruism. If only they could do what you said and pass on knowledge the world would be their oyster!

That thing about macaques is interesting.

Totally. Great video too. 3:20 is so powerful.

I love this. I wonder what it was doing…

…maybe it is an explorer. I wish octopuses were able to communicate more knowledge intergenerationally. It feels like they don’t currently get the most out of their intellects.

I wish social policy were driven by results and best practice instead of these weird ideological gestures.

Especially one that’s presented normally.

Occasionally you see articles where they present a beneficiary with a point of view like complaining about not being able to afford icecream, which is disappointing because it obscures more pressing problems like not being able to afford green veges or medications.

It is not necessarily disrespectful but you do need to know what you are doing and why.

Ideally are you able to make contact with a music teacher or kapa haka teacher from NZ?

I think you would benefit from showing your students some of the footage of students performing kapa haka (on youtube). These kids are about 11.

Also, please do not rely on the Wikihow. Please do not teach your students that any girls doing a pukana are “expressing their sexuality”!!! That is misleading. Here is a resource from New Zealand’s educational system, which talks about pukana in a way that is appropriate for 11 year olds.

I guess the other component is consequences, i.e whose privacy is being breached and what recourse they have. So from that point of view I’d expect organizations like Oranga Tamariki and WINZ to have developed a worse privacy culture than organizations like IRD and MBIE.

Thanks :) I quite like how Lemmyvision makes us focus on our local music scenes a bit more.

Went down a real rabbit hole with the UK entry last year too. All these geriatric rappers and their record label was this guy’s dairy.

I’m actually voting for @eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz’s suggestion!

Mau Moko is awesome. Glad they’ve still got it!

I know it’s underfunding but that first one is just movie villain levels of weird. “Sure, here’s the address of the person you might have assaulted.” Wth?

One of their examples was probably the whisper network (warning someone about historic allegations about someone else who probably had contact with them) but some of the others have me scratching my head.

I think what happens sometimes is that over time with underfunding and undertraining you end up with an organizational culture that becomes weirdly blind to privacy issues, like how our birds evolved to not have wings.

Interesting. I think there’s a huge fight brewing out there somewhere between a developer who wants to infill develop the old golf course versus local residents. Wonder what impact this will have on that.

Idk, it looks like it works (or maybe people are just getting better at not littering and it correlates), but this is one of those things that can be measured so I’d trust department of conservation research over my own anecdotal evidence.

I don’t know. I haven’t seen the research.

I was alarmed by it at first but it’s been a few years now and the parks where I go which used to have them don’t seem any more littered fwiw. If anything less so.

But that’s anecdotal and as I understand it the decision was made based on more than that.

This has been happening in New Zealand for a while. The theory seems to be that bins attract more litter and are a hazard to wildlife.

I was sceptical at first but it actually seems to work.

Perturbs me that they are selling food though. Surely yhe food sellers should have bins for which they are responsible in their immediate vicinity.

Sweet as! I’m just in awe at all the modern lunch options.

Yeah I guess glad wrap is out these days.

They’re probably too young to use those bees wax/cloth wraps? Those are waterproof and also good for the environment.
