LOST YOUR MANUAL? FOUND YOUR SANITY?

Phil from Eastbourne

LOST YOUR MANUAL? FOUND YOUR SANITY?
We’ve all been there. The oven’s blinking some mysterious code, the washing machine’s having an emotional episode, and the only manual you can find is for a stereo system last seen in the '90s.
Good news, MEGA is here with a public service announcement that might just save your weekend and your marriage.
If you've thrown out every instruction booklet you ever owned (as most sensible people do), head straight to:
www.manualslib.com...
It’s an absolute goldmine of over 6 million manuals for everything from fridges to fitness bikes. No paywalls. No dodgy downloads. No begging manufacturers to “open a support ticket.” Just the manual you need, when you need it.
Whether you’re a DIY battler, a determined householder, a curious geek, or just someone trying to set the clock on the microwave—this is the site to know.
Brought to you by MEGA – Making Eastbourne Great Again (and slightly more operational).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
