Pretty sure you can't get arrested for that, they'd just take the house.

That truck weighs 2.5 tonne empty, by the way. The trailer is likely another 750kg, plus all the crap on the trailer. Possibly over 3.5 tonnes, and neither of those vehicles are rated to tow that.

I suspect the trailer would have just refused to turn.

I'm pretty sure there is no way to detect a nuclear bomb stored in the belly of a ship.

Yeah, nuclear power plants being banned is another common misconception.

Our nuclear policy bans vessels that are nuclear armed or nuclear powered, so even if the USA can guarantee they don't have nuclear weapons on board, their nuclear propulsion rules them out.

This is excellent news, and a clear sign that a large chunk of the population don't feel represented by any of the current parties.

Although I suspect I'll spend a lot of time explaining the concept of land value vs capital value in the next few months.

I can definitely see why someone would have mixed feelings about the tech, being truly disconnected from the world has it's benefits.

But, I'd rather be able to get accurate weather forecasts.

Opportunity getting more donations than Green is pretty surprising.

Although, I think a lot of people are pretty disappointed by the bad press their candidates have been getting.

Yeah, Iridium is an incredibly old service and technology, designed mainly around the needs of the maritime industry. The people I know who use it also have a PLB, which is a much more reliable option in my view.

I think the Inreach and other similar devices are done for at this point.

I'd love to see them build a GSM in space system similar to what Spacex has, that's an amazing service that makes extended trips in the outdoors so much easier and safer.

The main problem I can see is Spacex is launching at an insane rate, and I don't know if Rocket lab has that same capability.

Yeah, but where does that actually happen? And where does the 3x figure come from, I was under the impression 6x was pretty good.

 

What a colossal dumbass.

I do like how RNZ mercilessly call him out on his bullshit though.

 

While it comes as no surprise to me that people take the piss out of polls and surveys, it's interesting to see just how many people will do it.

 

The logic behind the sentence given out sounds like a fucking late night infomercial. Also, who just leaves their car running in the street with the keys in the ignition?

 

This was a fascinating read, it really does sound like the tenant pulled a weekend at Bernie's, if not outright killing the guy himself.

 

I bet Hipkins is in a good mood today.

 

Mark my words, Winston has seen which way the wind is blowing, and is preparing for the possibility of a coalition government with Labour.

Which is not necessarily a bad thing, NZF vs Maori as a coalition partner is an easy choice to make.

 

This feels like oddly malicious reporting by RNZ, it sounds like he was unaware he had been invited, and attended other services instead.

It sounds like the RSA dropped the ball.

 

I wonder, if he hadn't had a vehicle, would anyone have known he went overboard?

 

It's an oil insulated cable, filled with a special insulating oil similar to transformer oil. It's not diesel, or any other type of fuel.

Why are journalists like this?

 

A really good explanation about how an increase in GST collected on fuel is likely to be offset by a decrease in spending elsewhere.

Also, we're likely to see a change in behaviour from consumers, likely a decrease in non essential driving. I know I'm considering the driving I do a lot more carefully.

 

Married, two kids, divorced, and remarried, in the space of three years.

What a ride that must have been.

 

What is everyone's thoughts on holding parents liable for damages caused by a minor, in particular when committing a criminal act? I think it would give an incentive to know what their children are doing at night.
