Email addresses are easy to come by. Compartmentalise things so that you private and public lives can’t collide.

I’m watching for the Zeekr 7X arrival in the South Pacific with interest. Now I’ll also be watching to see how they respond to tests like this.

We should look into that. Sounds like an important distinction. Luckily ‘Wageningen’ doesn’t sound American so they might still have funding.

But not whales right? Because we have have loud, orange and completely trustworthy advice that ‘windmills’ drive whales crazy.

If you start a ‘permanent role’ with them, having already secured a next role, then it is unethical. That means you know, going in, that this is not effectively ‘permanent’.

However. Having already started with them, if you find a better role, there is nothing unethical about taking that unless it contradicts an enforceable employment agreement. Maybe the role wasn’t what you thought, or someone else has valued you more highly (in remuneration, working conditions or other benefits). It goes both ways and incentivising retention is up to the business - it’s the flipside of lay-offs.

Sigh. “Octarine” was just waiting for this moment.

If we’re very quiet precious, my love, maybe he won’t notice us down here near the bottom of the table.

And relative to other recent offerings, will it just seem better?

Just how many people, that aren’t Trump/Republican mouthpieces or geopolitical foes, really think Zelenskyy is the one who came off looking bad in that exchange?

Yet another ratings-topping embarrassing episode in this new season of America’s ‘great television’ show.

Shhh.

Ahh it’s good to see the US has regained its ‘punchline of the internet’ title after a short four-year return to merely being an embarrassing anecdote.

What are these North Mexican companies thinking.

Now if the phoenix had a link to someone named Jones we’d really have something here.

Right. Now that that’s cleared up… Let’s do “Kiss that frog”

Show me 'round your fruit cage

'Cause I will be your honey bee

Open up your fruit cage

Where the fruit can be sweet as can be

Ahem… That sweet sweet fruit…

Surely not violence

No… not violence… though there is some bumping, and it does build up to something…

I don’t have a problem with open lobbying per se. If it’s on behalf of all of the workers and customers as well and not just their own interests.

But can anyone identify such a billionaire?

And by definition that rules out any that step on their workers like bugs…

To me, this is critical must-have if the term is extended. Extending it without this is practically locking in the current parties.

Look. If there’s anything damaging the environment, we’ll just tow it out of the environment…

More seriously. Given our current NZ government’s attitudes, I fear a similar pattern to emerge here.

Yes. I live in a wealthier area in a city and I see many EV’s… but in terms of our national fleet they’re almost a rounding error.

Yet just over the ditch to Australia and the place is teeming with them.

I dream of us reaching 14%…

Well… 4%…

Well… at least 2%…

Sigh.
