Keeping up appearances reference, nice.

Oh, it's pronounced "bouquet"

Christmas and guy Fawkes are especially out of place.

Yes, let's encourage the public use fireworks in summer. Great plan.

For ~$100USD/month 4000/4000, no caps.
For ~$80USD/month 2000/2000, no caps.
For ~$60USD/month 1000/1000, no caps.

That is cheap compared to NZ

I have always wondered what a white Christmas would be like.

Usually it is baking hot here, none of the "traditional" foods make sense...

[–] absGeekNZ 2 points 4 weeks ago

I'm not sure what to say....that really sucks.

[–] absGeekNZ 10 points 4 weeks ago (9 children)

Wow that is expensive.

In NZ I'm on a 300/100 plan with no data cap, for $77/month. That is about $43USD/month.

I am impressed with the stated specs, I'll be more impressed if it can do what it claims.

~730kWh is a lot of stored energy.

Maybe, but brussel sprouts still taste like shit.

Broccoli is and always has been really good, if cooked correctly.

They have been been welcomed by the Free Speech Union, which said academic freedom is under threat, but the TEU said there was no problem to solve.

The free speech union is a NZ offshoot of a UK based body. Reading over a few of their campaigns, the wording they use seems reasonable (if somewhat angry) on the surface, but whist reading the feeling is very much of dogwhistle style politics.

Such as:

it could make it illegal to misuse someone’s pronouns or limit schools' boards of trustees even more in how they present diverse perspectives on gender.

This is representative of a lot of the rhetoric on the site, on the surface it seems ok, it makes it sound like making a mistake will be a criminal act; but the biggest dogwhistle is "diverse perspective's", this is clear bull shit, they want institutions (especially schools) presenting views on gender/sexuality that are very much not representative of reality. The site doesn't say who is funding them, it would be interesting to see that information.

...

A great response from the TEU:

"So it feels like we've got a heavy-handed approach from a government that apparently is anti-regulation but is now going to put in place the whole lot of requirements on a community that just doesn't need it."

...

This is just bad policy. It is not about freedom of speech, this is about allowing divisive views an official platform, to legitimize them in the eyes of the public.

Thanks.

Looks like there are a lot of extras available. I'll only get one if a really good deal shows up. But it's good to know that it is somewhat hackable.

I am trying to write a little guide for some workmates, this is making it very difficult.
