This, could work.

But depending on personality issues… It could just escalate the issue.

My boys love this game.

Loads of replay value.

Awesome to also have it to teach others how to play. If she has that teaching spirit, this game is great.

When you have a Samsung monitor, even windows boots faster

Another one bites the dust, also works.

It depends on where you are.

e.g. in NZ, we don’t have a problem with illegal immigration, but completely legal “temporary migrant workers”.

The issue, isn’t the people, it’s the load on already stretched infrastructure. Because they are “temporary”, they are not factored into the calculations for infrastructure spending.

This wouldn’t be a problem, if a short team need was being met, but it isn’t… There are always temporary workers, because we as a country can’t fill all the jobs from local supply.

With birth rates and other immigration, our population growth is around 1.5%, not the 0.5% we target our spending at.

If we spent at a rate that accounted for the real population growth, everything would work better for everyone.

Kinda.

Not from USA; but…Terry Crews would be a great leader; he is way to nice to actually run though.

So Linux Mint then!

Well it is a hypothesis that needs testing…

You are asking two how to questions “combat climate change” and “reduce emissions”

To realistically combat climate change:

• Admit that we need to try geoengineering (we are already doing this with all the CO₂ and CH₄ going into the atmosphere)
• Weather it is SO₂ injection or cloud seeding to artificially increase the albido; we need to reduce incident solar radiation to give us a few more decades to actually reduce emissions

To reduce emissions:

• Tackle the biggest emissions first.
• Electrification of the passenger fleet; that means batteries. Keep fuel cells for heavy transport (maybe)
• Encourage electric biking. And other micro-mobility. Along with better public transport.
• Normalise a historical style diet, meat is a treat only once or twice a week.
• Reduce concrete construction; keep it for the important things like the foundations.
• Reduce the practice of packaging everything in plastic; again keep it for the important things only like electrical insulation.
• Massive ramp up of solar and wind around the world.
• Where we use fossil fuels, ask is this important enough to use FF here?

Carbon taxes:

• Tax CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent) at a reasonable rate to encourage all of the reduction measures.
• At less than $65NZD/T the cost is too low to encourage significant movement on the issues.
• Have a ratcheting scheme in the CO₂ market, i.e. add $5-8/yr/T for CO₂e; in 10 years the price will be between $110-140/T. At the 10yr mark, make the ratchet $10-15/yr/T.
• Add a carbon tariff; basically make it more expensive to buy from countries that are not pulling their weight.
• Be careful not to double tax, this is important for buy in from the public. i.e. the carbon tax on fuel should be exempt from sales tax, taxing a tax is a great way to alienate people.

Market research?

I’ll put in a word for my preferred sport here.

My super energetic boy has been rock climbing since 7.

Strength, flexibility, balance, self confidence, progression is based on solving problems, climbs are graded.

I get that, why import stuff that you produce locally…

I try to never get imported food products that we make here… It just seems wasteful.

Happy to help

I had a less experienced person with me looking at some code.

I pointed out that a particular section of code is shit; just bad form, hard to debug and generally unpleasant to work with. I noted that the person that wrote this didn’t really know what they were doing, sure the code works and has been working for a long time, but this is not how we would do things.

They asked “wow, who wrote this?” I replied “it was me 13 years ago”; it is a great ice breaker, in a non-critical part of the system, new people realize we all have to start somewhere.

It also allows me to go over the standards we use, why we use them and how to simplify debugging.

I doubt it, I think the Miraka plant is produces mostly primary products not the secondary stuff.

Pretty sure I know the factory that this butter comes from. The Miraka plant; north of Taupō. Geothermally powered, restricts it to a relatively small region in NZ.

Great title.

Got very excited
