A quick google shows that a significant proportion of the arguments presented in this 'movie' have already been thoroughly debunked. For example, https://skepticalscience.com/climate-the-movie-a-hot-mess-of-cold-myths.html has a nice summary.

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Has been a very regular six-weekly trip right from the start. Maybe another 9-12 months to go, so at least six more trips!

Day trip to Nelson for Monster Number 1 and I today - we're 15 months into his orthodontic treatment, with trips up every six weeks or so. It seemed like a good idea at the time 😂

Thanks for that - wasn't aware of this and looks good

First time for me. Really excited.

Yes, it's a fairly tight crop from the original. Was awesome to see the big herc dropping its flares!

On my more optimistic days I see a future where plentiful, cheap energy (ie fusion) can drive technology that will halt, perhaps even reverse the damage we've done. And perhaps that's even compatible with capitalism, as there are potential profits to be made.

More often though I see a difficult, painful future for the human species, with massive famines, human displacement and wars over the resources that remain. I hope I'm wrong.

Oh man, I'm officially old. I don't know a single song on that list 😂

Literally just finished reading the RNZ take on this. Very interesting to compare vs this Newshub one - a lot less doom and gloom; a lot more 'does it really matter'?

Mainly have (had - have already cancelled) Disney+ for the kids. They love all the Star Wars series, Marvel etc.

100% this. I always picture Agent Smith from Matrix Revolutions - "MORE!" .

I had a brilliant home server set up about 15 years back with a Usenet subscription, SABnzbd Sickbeard, Couchpotato, Sonaar etc. Might be time to check out the modern versions and put something back together. Sigh.
