I agree, I voted yes to legalize and believe it should be legalized. It wasn't the best comparison just the the first thing I thought of related to sentences for abuse of the drugs Act.

You're right; drug addiction should indeed be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal one. However, his sentence was for possessing a significant amount of methamphetamine (Class A) and drug paraphernalia.
I know people who received similar sentences for having only a few ounces of marijuana (Class C) for personal use along with a utensil, though this was some years ago.
I don't think its very common in the US but The pōhutukawa tree
The pōhutukawa tree is a special part of New Zealand culture, often called the "New Zealand Christmas tree" because of its bright red flowers that bloom in December. It’s seen as a symbol of strength and resilience, especially since it grows along rugged coastlines. For Māori, it has deep spiritual meaning—there's even an ancient pōhutukawa at Cape Reinga where spirits are believed to begin their journey to the afterlife. Plus, it’s great for the environment, providing food and shelter for native birds and insects.
Folks, the oil depot in Proletarsk is burning, and it's absolutely fantastic! Tremendous flames, just incredible. Let's hope it keeps burning for a long time—some say it could be one of the biggest, most beautiful fires we've ever seen. And you know what? I'm all for it! This fire is doing great things, believe me.
I'm unsure why but It used to be the same here in New Zealand, most butchers seem to have transitioned to panko breadcrumbs now.
The only place i've seen this in the last few years at the cheaper butcher chains like 'The Mad Butcher' and the one in my link below.
I think OP is talking about this.

I don't hate Windows, but I find Linux a much more natural way to use my PC. I started with Linux in 1996 and have been daily driving different distros since 2010 on all my PCs and servers.
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how flexible and customizable Linux is. The open-source community is always ready to help, making the experience even better. For personal projects or managing servers, Linux is efficient and reliable, and I’ve grown to depend on it.
On the other hand, I've had to use Windows at various jobs and never found it enjoyable. The constant updates, 'bloatware', and lack of transparency can be frustrating.
While Windows is user-friendly and compatible with many programs, it often feels less intuitive and more restrictive compared to the freedom I have with Linux.
Each time I switch back to Windows, I’m reminded why I prefer Linux for both personal and professional use.
SpotDL is pretty good, takes Spotify playlists/links and downloads from YouTube music including metadata.
I'm using a Chromecast with Google TV 4k and the intro skipping plugin is works well, but only on automatic.
The only other on I've seen was with Urgent Courier's, really handy when expecting a package requiring signature.
