Just the top of a computer?
No, it's a whole computer, but it goes on top of your lap. Or you could put it on a desk. That doth not a desktop maketh, though. Okay.
I would have thought you better to put it on a desk.
You are better to put it on a desk, but it gives you the availability to put it on your lap. Anyway, that laptop was sitting on my bed, and it was like a damp Wellington flat, so I'd lift the window open, air it out. What do they call it? Luftwaffen?

Chapter 6: What are the consequences of cutting down protected trees?
So you've never done it? Never.
Never, Mr Smarty Pants?
No. Neither have I. Did you think that a... I never said I've done it. I'm asking you. I feel like you've done it. You've definitely done it.
In fact, I remember you did it because you went on a walk with your family and Mrs Ruder had a phone in the pocket.
Not once have I done this.

Chapter 7: How do neighbors influence tree care and maintenance?
Not once. Did you think that a person of a specific ethnicity was going to be attracted by the rice and then fix your phone? Is that how you thought it worked? No.
Magic rice. Magic rice.
No, mate. What do I think it would do? The rumour I heard was that Richard Gere put a gerbil up his arse. I think that was from the in-laws, actually.
Chapter 8: What are some personal experiences with gardening and tree care?
It was that it soaks up the moisture into the rice, and then you can still reuse the rice afterwards.

No. I'm results driven.
The result was the phone did not live. No. No. So you didn't put your laptop in rice anyway.
No, I don't know where you'd get a tub big enough to fit a laptop in. A bucket and a bucket of rice.
That's a conspiracy by Big Rice. It's just a way of selling more rice. They know that they can sell more rice if people put their devices that are wet in it.
Because they struggle to shift that stuff. They do. No one eats it. No one eats it. No one eats it. Bloody hell. I mean, yeah. So anything they can do. But this is business in 2026, isn't it? It's hard. It's hard. I see you wore gumboots this morning. Yeah. Jeez, you put a pair of gumboots on in a city and people will lose their minds.

Something terrible is happening in Auckland drainage. I think it's the leaves.
