@Dave , I don’t think it’s fair to paint all of ‘police’ in the same one brush stroke.
While it is a more male oriented organization with often all the shortcomings of some lesser advanced members of that gender, a generalisation might be convenient but is unfair to all those doing the right thing.
@BaconWrappedEnigma , I think that overall a large portion of petrol driven cars will pay quite a bit more - the reason is that a huge amount of newer cars were bought because they consumed up to half the amount that older ones did, the huge number of small, fuel friendly cars on the road atm shows this trend - so it will be a win for the tax man.
I can see that this will result in less kms driven (a good thing for the environment where it involves petrol cars), this in turn will also mean less weekend outings, less holidays further afield, and in clear text another knockout for the industry depending on it and for business in general - I hope I’m not going to be right.
@BalpeenHammer , yeah, wtf do we need a foreign county’s secret agency office here?
@Dave , darn that is weird. Uninstall, reinstall?
Waterfox? (running out of ideas).

When you stop hardware acceleration you have to quit the browser and open it again for it to be effective. Also:

@Dave , blatant favouritism (fascists: ‘this is the way’).
@Dave , my guess was cache related, though being the same under other circumstances I’d check the hardware related stuff -
hw acceleration and drivers.

@Fizz @Davriellelouna, if you’re killing someone you shouldn’t be able to enjoy the comforts of home while the ripples of your action devastate the lives of those around the deceased, imho the sentence should have your judgement as follow on once released.
@absGeekNZ, a good start is targeting the biggest polluters though, isn’t it?
@Dave @absGeekNZ, loss of profits are unfortunately still the best motivator in a world running on old-fashioned, exploitative (on every level) capitalism.
@Dave, ah yes, unfortunately not many governments are a representation of their people anymore and even fewer are interested in acting for their benefits.
@Dave, my point was that these arbitrators are already known and it can be more effective telling people who to boycott than launching rockets for a ‘showy’
finger point and tell.
Most if not all of these companies give a flying duck for those trying to hold them accountable.
@Dave @absGeekNZ, shouldn’t we also consider whether it’s necessary to pollute to find out more about pollution?
If successful and we confirm what we already know, how much will this contribute to effective change?
Is this the best use of $ for its cause?
@absGeekNZ, that very first sentence is sooo wrong.
Splitting and dividing can be seen as favoring FPTP because that’s what it’ll in effect create again.
(It lowers the threshold for the bigger parties to get in, even if it means holding hands with the devil - as in present coalition).
@absGeekNZ @TechnoCat, two BIG ifs,
why bother when we have the Greens already (let’s face it they have all the tics about most Kiwis concerns- environment, equality, health care, etc, etc.
They have more foresight, political understanding, new ideas than the destructive coalition has mustered so far) if people ( looking at boomers) would only be more courageous or idealistic ( like they were in the 1960 s
and following decade).
@Davriellelouna, the destructiveness of this government follows more and more the Musk - Trump idiocy.
@Jimmycakes @Davriellelouna, haha, nor the government.
@BalpeenHammer, I’m a control freak, haha, not really.
I’ve, from early age, loved pulling things apart and figuring out what makes them work and found hands deserved to be a tool worth for more than just ten finger typewriting, etc.
These days we’re often ending up in the ‘monetary scraping by/time poor’
box and so rely on others in their fields of (greater/lesser) expertise…
@BaconWrappedEnigma , yes.
It’s another thumb screw to squeeze ever more taxes from those who can barely/not afford it anymore.
An ill thought through action from a government we already know gives a damn about the environment and generally looks after the top of society and contrary to their statements cares neither for general business either.
Good solutions should take all these issues into account and find a way that serves the people.
