Sex toys are one thing between consenting adults, but Internet-connected sex toys sound like a Very Bad Idea™ indeed!
This smart vibrator can be ‘easily’ hacked and remotely controlled by anyone
Security flaw left ‘smart’ chastity sex toy users at risk of permanent lock-in
Not quite the first strawberries of the season, but close. Yumm. Grown in the tunnelhouse.
Today’s highlight of the trip to the beach for a dog walk: a duck crossing the road followed by 8 or 10 tiny tiny ducklings. No photo — they were too far for my iPhone and I didn’t want to risk scaring them by moving.
OK, this looks like it should be a fun watch: The 355 - Official Trailer 🎬:
When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands [4 female agents from various countries] … rocket around the globe … [and] forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world—or get them killed.
The other day in the dog park at Levin I heard a Tūī in the tree right next to me. This clip starts with other birds, then the Tūī comes in. In the background someone calling a dog.
Also on Lambton Quay, 6 chaps moving a very heavy looking and very large object up Plimmer Steps. Amazingly, the two behind the object had not been crushed when I next passed by.

Today I was a good citizen and voted in the Aotearoa New Zealand general election. Polling closes on 17 October.
With summer coming, I had a window open overnight. This morning I can hear a rooster nearby. 😎
We’ve been really enjoying Netflix ☛ Away 📺:
Away follows the first crewed expedition to Mars … The series is described as being “about hope, humanity and how ultimately, we need one another if we are to achieve impossible things.”
Today’s weird beach rubbish find: fluorescent light tube.
Party colours in Aotearoa. It’s so confusing seeing news about US elections because their right-wingers are associated with red and lefties with blue. In Aotearoa the left use red and the right use blue.
Information about voting uses orange to avoid accusations of partisanship.
In Aotearoa everyone gets 2 votes:
-
vote for a specific person to represent the electorate
-
vote for a particular party to be in government.
Once votes are counted parties with enough seats can form a coalition to actually govern. Right now that’s Labour, Greens and NZ First.
In 2020 we also vote on two referenda in Aotearoa:
-
give people with a terminal illness the option of requesting assisted dying.
-
whether the recreational use of cannabis should become legal.
I intend to vote yes to both. I suspect neither will pass though.
Aotearoa is holding a General Election on Saturday 10 October 2020. We received info by mail a few days ago and can vote from now. I’ve cut out my voter card (optional, but helpful). In my electorate there are 8 candidates, some total nutters. The brochure is superbly done.
Hah, nice quote:
If anyone tells you that such a person speaks ill of you, don’t make excuses about what is said of you, but answer: “He does not know my other faults, else he would not have mentioned only these.”
From: The Enchiridion by Epictetus.
I should have known that the excellent NetNewsWire 5.1 would allow me to ‘Always Use Reader View’ for a feed where I need it. 🥳 Thanks @brentsimmons
Window cleaning didn’t take long (outsides only). It needs a good quality sheepskin and blade, a dash of water and a drop of dishwashing liquid. A vast improvement!
