“In the town of Seldovia, on Kachemak Bay, a 15-foot minke whale was beached on the rocks at low tide, believed to be an incidence of poisoning by an algal bloom that could have killed it in just 20 minutes.
The selfless work from the locals allowed that 20 minutes to become 6 hours, when the tide’s eventual arrival allowed the whale to right itself.”

Wow, just listening to Luxon waffle on about how all the problems his gov't is facing about a failing economy were caused by the past Gov't. He throws huge shade at Clöe Swarbrick and her financial chops, implying his party is far better, and claiming the Greens would hugely increase debt and taxes... None of the fricking jounos there have had the nous to call him on that - this dickhead Gov't has increased our national debt, not reduced it in the slightest..

W końcu przyszło przypadkiem. Któregoś dnia zapomniałem połamać czekolady przed spakowaniem jej. Kiedy ją wyciągnąłem, nagle do mnie dotarło, że tabliczka w całości tak nie wypada z papierka! 🤦
