I think the bit that annoys me the most is the flip-flop politics.

Why bother with any long term policies or projects if in 2 election terms it’s going to be attacked by ideology, called a failure and reversed at considerable expense.

It’s about time we banned CGNAT.

At least these ones are flared at the base.

What difficult conversations? Huh? Which ones?

The “we’re not sexist, we promise” one?

Or the “it’s not our fault new employees are paid more than long time staff,” one?

Or the “you’re valuable to us, but we just can’t afford the CEO and your pay rise ” one?

It’s a formulation of various hydrocarbons.

You excite it in a closed chamber and capture the expansion of gasses. You then use this captured energy to make something magnetic spin around next to some coils.

This in turn will create a flow of electrons you can use to drive a motor.

Or, the PM doesn’t think they’re too far right to be a problem.

Effectively, “we’ve loosened the leash, but don’t want them doing anything too dramatic”. The ‘just-right’ of racism.

What we see: “tax the rich” What National see: “better increase those income and GST rates”

I would disagree that home charging is necessary. There are other ways you can enable charging for the drivewayless.

Ie: My homes power supplier has a deal where I can charge my car at a specific companies chargers and only pay my home power rate.

I don’t have anywhere home charging capability. But because of this deal, I haven’t had any problems charging. I have just folded charging into my weekly routine.

Go to the gym, charge it up. If I need to walk the dog and the car is particularly low I’ll go walk the dog around a charger.

And it’s not like there’s a huge amount of chargers from this company around me.

Mmm yes. A slice of a cold wet slimy produce on my hot fatty burger. Oooh yes please. I absolutely love the contrast of cold and hot; fat and slime.

If there’s anything that makes dining great, it’s opposites. And if there’s anyone with the skills to make opposites a gastronomical experience, it’s a line cook flipping burgers.

Then the crops grow, and they’re all full of microscopic glass fibre. Then the foodstuffs are shipped to the world. Then the foods are eaten and the GF joins the microplastics in our bloodstream.

Not necessarily unsafe, but similar for vans too. With nothing in my RWD vans cargo bay it’s quite easy to break traction. Especially on cold tyres.

Yes, but in the terms of China leveraging the debt, it seems somewhat insignificant.

Small enough that the US could just spend 3% less on its defence budget to prevent China from gaining a deeper foothold.

US$22bn? Is that all? That’s like 2.5% of the 2023 US military expenditure.

That doesn’t seem like much?

“Antelopes are safe, We’re not going to eat you” says the “crocodiles for eating antelopes” party.

There are 3 tiers of radioactive waste. With the highest being radioactive enough to produce heat, and the lowest being barely (if at all) more radioactive than your home.

But the low level waste accounts for 96% of waste, and is sometimes made up of things that could be contaminated, and are treated as such as a precaution.

The highest level waste makes up <1% of waste.

Fewer bombs, but more litter.

I bet there would be a carve out for anything particularly unsafe, like high voltage equipment or whatever.

Cue: the new Braun toothbrush, now with a 450v battery system for ultimate cleaning power.

It’s hard to not see it.

There’s usually only one or two brands in each category that can be found elsewhere.

If it’s not a disguised “home brand” it’s an exclusivity deal, and if it’s not an exclusivity deal, it’s probably 50% or more, more expensive.

Piracy numbers are used as a metric to benchmark a shows popularity.

Plus, if you use any p2p platform to get it, you’re distributing the work too.
