That was a major strain on a few relationships, some people are just terrible at directions.

I have one of those. They’re useful for measuring distances on topo maps where pretty much nothing is a straight line.

The onion has definitely lost their edge lately. That, and reality had become increasingly difficult to parody.

This makes me wonder how many women are quite unhappy in their marriage, and are willing to jump at the nearest opportunity.

Kinda depressing to think about, actually.

That looks like fun.

How do you know they know what they’re doing?

Someone drove a land rover part way up the steps, it wasn’t anything dramatic. I remember a similar stunt with a tractor as well.

Also, they didn’t miss the budget vote, their suspension wasn’t passed until after the budget was passed. They didn’t say anything in the debate, and couldn’t have stopped the budget from passing anyway.

The NZ Maori party favour theatrics over results, and have been like that for a long time.

Also the dude apparently does a lot of drugs.

How do they know who’s full of shit and who knows what they’re talking about though?

Oh, they’re mad as hell their echo chamber has lost its echo.

Also, our parliament has rules for a reason, and deliberately disrupting proceedings is a big deal for a very good reason. You break the rules, you get suspended.

No, Instagram, I will not log in to view content.

Pretty much all of the three digit billions crowd are in tech of some description. There’s definitely an element of being in the right place at the right time, but there’s also a lot of business skills as well.

A lot of their success seems to be recognising an opportunity before anyone else, whether that’s luck or skill is difficult to know.

I don’t know exactly how much his parents were worth, but his net worth has increased by many thousands of times. That’s not “third base”, saying he got where he is by luck and nepotism is just wilfully ignorant.

Trump, on the other hand, would have done better if he just left his money in a savings account.

The drugs are definitely part of what happened.

I genuinely think he’s had some sort of cognitive decline.

He went from being merely wealthy to the richest man in the world, and nearly everyone thinking he’s a genius, to being hated by nearly everyone and losing money fast.

Ah, of course. Although, they did mention coatings to protect the material, but it does sound like it will be more fragile than existing plastic.

This sounds borderline miraculous, and I have a feeling there’s bound to be a catch. I hope not, but I’m just too cynical.

It’s amazing how JD vance is respected by absolutely nobody.

You do to sail into some ports, for example, but there are a lot of sailing vessels that are pure sail.

I’m not sure I understand all the jargon in this one.
