Your certainty that it's in disupte is misguided. It's not. There's a treaty signed which establishes joint soverignty over Aotearoa and it was signed in good faith by both parties. The crown and the NZ govt. have ignored it

Ugh, it’s quite literally the founding constitution and basis for NZ. Describing mana whenua as ‘Fringe’ is racist and insulting.

But you clearly don’t get it, as your many posts in here show. Maori ideas of custodianship are wildly different: https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/2544-understanding...

It’s not fringe, it’s the legal bedrock of NZ’s constitution. It’s not about separate, it’s about the crown entering into a legal treaty then dishonouring it because lol Great Britain.

Not at all. Acquired taste perhaps, but high-strength, well-made spirits can be wonderful. Need to treat them with respect though, as the downsides are obvious. Loads of the over-proof whiskys and rums are glorious.

Urban legend I've heard is it was a marketing ploy dreamed up by the Guinness company to charge Americans more. Seems to have worked.

This is horrific advice: Just be an uber-individual and hope someone else sorts it. Awful and delusion utopianism.

I just can't even being to understand this argument. Just because you're internally stable doesn't mean others will deign to agree.

Oh that’s gone and got cocked up too. Discovery have paid a fortune for the europe-wide individual streaming rights, so BBC can only broadcast two streams at a time. You can only watch the individual sports streams on Eurosport/Discove

I’ve got the old Tech Nation one - about to finish year 5 next year. I hate the Home Office with all my passion though, £600 a year for this bullshit NHS surcharge is daylight robbery - a ridiculous charge invented by Theresa May to feed th

I’m so excited to see what they can do with DAW performance with a full power chip. Given what M1 can do, might finally be at the point where we can stop worrying about CPU capacity when making music with DAWs - Ableton for me, aware they h

Those speeds are a joke. I’d be mad to have less than 100, and currently have 1gbps

Personally, I’m fascinated by the system aspect of regenerative (etc.) ag. A lot of what I do as a tech CTO is systems based, but realistically we’re just mere amateurs compared to nature. Plus screens are boring.

This is a good write-up, but for the sort of insights they’re getting they’re over staffed and overpaying. A combination of a cloud dw (big query, e.g), cloud etl (stitch, fivetran) and dbt for the T in ELT to build useful reporting tables,

New Zealand had a referendum on leaglisation with a 52/48 opposed result. Instead of reading this as rightly that people wanted change, Ardern has done nothing.

I've gotta say, groceries in NYC seem uniquely awful. We stayed with friends in Greenpoint for a week and it was grim. The supermarket that was around was dire, the bodegas were fine, but really expensive for not great quality or range

Reminds me of the character from Narcos who was working to secure the Cali cartel's communications. No doubt lots of work for people who know how to harden networks for criminal orgs.

Could've also been that they were new. I've got B&W 606's and at first I really didn't like the treble, but they mellowed nicely.

I haven't listened to the Nautilus but I have listened to the B&W 800 (RRP £23500) speakers and they really have to be experienced to be belived. I was listening in a studio environment that had just installed them, as an upgrade f
