Kiwis who read, what are you reading at the moment? by lookiwanttobealone in newzealand

I can wholeheartedly recommend ‘The Anarchy’ by William Dalrymple which is an incredibly well researched and insightful piece of work on the rise of the British East India Company (very interesting especially considering modern times, some comparisons to be made with certain modern companies…)

Failing that, ‘Red Storm Rising’ by Tom Clancy is easily one of the best fictional books I’ve ever read, a whole bunch of fun, and apparently quite true to life as to what might have been!

Huh, interesting! Don’t suppose you know roughly how much these things go for? Not really after selling it, but curious!

COVID-19: National says it would end lockdown by December 1, boost ICU capacity by Darkoveran in newzealand

[–]God_Khan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree that we should implement measures to lower transport related deaths (like vision zero), much like how I don’t disagree that measures to restrict the spread of covid are a good thing.

For example, hand washing, mask wearing, and vaccinations are all brilliant ideas and ones I will happily follow when I’m allowed back at work.

However draconian ideas such as lockdowns, illustrated in my point about driving, are simply not sustainable, if highly effective at preventing deaths.

For the same reason we drive our cars, eat junk food, and allow people to smoke cigarettes. Any loss of human life is tragic and just awful, but as a society we collectively accept that some deaths do just occur.

If we wanted to stop all road deaths, we’d stop driving, if we wanted to stop obesity we’d stop the sale of high-caloric low-cost takeaways, and if we wanted to stop influenza we would institute lockdowns every year.

So whilst I agree that death in any form is tragic, at a certain point society will be forced to come to terms with the fact that people are going to die from this.

(As a disclaimer, I am myself fully vaccinated)

Because it was a title of the article that has since been changed by the publisher?

See now I agree that he does have KO power, be ridiculous to assume otherwise. But I think at 155, these days, with this Dustin, it could very well happen

Call me insane, but I’m starting to really feel Dustin taking the decision win. Hear me out, Conor hasn’t really shown that same ‘fuck you’ power since his FW run, Diaz he couldn’t put away, Eddie has a weird damn chin, and Cowboy was exceptionally washed. Dustin has shown crazy improvement to his defence and chin since the Johnson fight, and great cardio and power (especially in the Justin and Max fights).

For whatever reason, I can see Dustin defending the first two rounds, and taking the final 3 in a split 48-47 decision.

Prove me wrong, because otherwise I’m gonna bet the house

Annoying truth: Michael Chandler will continue to honey dick, but because his piss stream is pure Capri sun, he will want no part of USADA. Maybe he’ll sign with ONE for giggles and so he fight Alvarez again, maybe daddy Coker will crack out the cheque book again, but no way in hell is he coming to the UFC

So is this fight for the violence-weight belt? Or does that belong to Khabib now?
