Surplustronics are pretty good - but dunno if you can visit the warehouse and their website snot so great. When I emailed to see if they had something they replied with photos though, so that can't be bad.
I like the bizarrely named New Age Supplies in Seaview/Petone though. Stacks of components/motors/fans/magnets/other stuff out of gutted gear. And just down the road, instead of being in fabled city of Auck Land.
on top of the bunker instead of a dull microwave tower. You can power the coil off your bonus 60kW generator, and lurk in the bunker.
Good for isolationists, not many visitors will get past the flaming lightning bolts of doom. Or invest in a network of coils (one every 50 miles) and see if you can block out Seinfeld with the RFI.
I'd link to Lightning on Demand/Electrum Project (in NZ, raay) (http://www.lod.org) but they seem to be broken.
It's not eating the genes that's the problem, it's the proteins expressed by those genes. I have two issues with this (begin bijou rantette)
1. I'm dangerously allergic to nuts, tomatoes, apples, and a whole load of other inconevenient stuff. I have enough trouble buying suitable food already. Imagine me in the chocolate-chip cookie emporium down the road...
Me: Hi, does this have nuts in?
Purveyor of Chocolate Chip Cookies: 2 bucks for that, guy.
Me: Erm, no, does it have nuts in?
PoCCC: you want nuts? that one over there, guy.
Me: Erm, no, does _this one_ have nuts in?
PoCCC: Oh, right! Yeah, 2 bucks.
Me: was that yes no nuts or no not no nuts. or what?
PoCCC: Hey, I dunno.
Me: look, I eat nuts I die. Sucky.
PoCCC: dude, hey I didn't know. That chafes. I still dunno. 2 bucks.
and then in the supermarket, June 2004
Me: does this salmon have tomato genes in to make it more pinky-red and generally appetising looking?
PoAssortedFishstuffs: look, just fsck off, ok?
2. I remember reading about earlier GM experiments. When you splice a gene into your target organism, sometimes you need a way to check that it made it, or to screen for the daughter cells carrying the modification. So they splice in a marker as well - if you can see the marker then the likelihood is that the gene you wanted is in place too. Typically they might use a gene for antibiotic resistance as a marker. But once they've done the screening and weeded out the cells it didn't take in, the modified cells still carry the marker. And they pretty much always will, cos you can't take it out again. In these times of MRSA/multi drug resistant TB and so on this sounds like bad news to me. But there you go.

He must've pissed them off, they photoshopped his placard so it says C*nt!
Smart monkey. Don't they have to teach them to think in Russian first?
yeah, I know it's true, but still. *an* hoax?
No more buttered scones for me, mater, I'm orft to play the grarnd piarno.
that's because your house is too _brown_. No wonder Mr Vodafone won't go near it.
