Recently broke the main blade on our food processor.

Replacement parts are unavailable.

KW715708 is the blade, but everywhere is out of stock.

So I'm looking for a replacement that is known for keeping parts available for years.

BIFL crew, what are your recommendations?

Kiapara ki Maurangi; is now up for grabs. With Chris Penk not seeking re-election after the leadership debacle.

He held the seat for 9 years; and won in 2023 with an almost 20k majority.

I doubt that it will switch away from National with such a clear lead. We don't know who National will put up though.

There are two other high profile contenders:

• Opportunity deputy leader Daniel Eb.
• NZF's Jenny Marcroft, who has a seat from list position.

Opportunity up t0 6.1%

TPU has typically been unfriendly to Opportunity. This is a big change; almost doubling since last TPU poll a month ago.

I love the 'numpties and yahoos' comments.

Another Luxon foot-in-mouth episode.

The trend continues, awesome to see.

The Nats are going lower and Luxon is ruling out possible allies.....

I'm happy that opportunity is gaining regularly. Looking very likely that they will be in parliament after the election.

My laptop stopped charging last week, it ran until the battery died. I tested a bunch of USB-C chargers and cables.... Fuck!

It is 7 years old, which is my second shortest run from a laptop.

I started looking at replacements, I have my eye on a Framework, the 13 Pro specifically, now that ship to NZ.

But fuck, $1600NZD for 32GB.... That is almost what I paid for my whole previous laptop. Luckily I can take my 4TB SSD from my failed machine, otherwise $1800NZD to replace that.

Update:
I ordered a second hand HP, $940NZD with 32GB of RAM. A couple of years newer than the failed one.

I'll see if there is a repair cafe near where I am, but this is a good solution for now.

Thanks for all the replies.

This was just sent to me....I don't do facebook.

Roy Morgan from 6% last month to 6.5%. This is after the 4.6% Verian poll late last week.

Momentum is building. It is looking very likely that they will get into parliament this time.

Why not, why shouldn't I post it.

Digital sovereignty push for Māori. Nice.

It arrived two days ago.

I have noticed that my P8P has major stuttering issues over the list few days.

There have been a few updates, I'm not sure what the cause is, I'm trying to see of others are having the same issue.

Maybe Luxon could get some ideas here
