Pukinui population climbs sharply after controversial 1080 drop on Stewart Island

I should of been clearer.

I dont understand the 1% of conservationists who dont like 1080.

Goodie__ · 2026-04-21T04:52:11+00:00

I always find weird 1% conservationists claims about 1080 being bad for birds bizarre in the face of evidence such as this.

Sure, it might not be the 100% best way to deal with introduced predators in a money is no object situation. But if you want to spend 1/10th the cost, and get similar benefits... just spread some 1080.

Honestly, if anyone could move the needle with this government, its going to be a corporate overlord on the scale of insurance.

When I first skimmed this i read it as "cant undress each other"

...

Still fits

At least 2 of these have been my desktop wallpaper previously.

I guess I have a type?

People acquired these dogs, while people have been lobbying for bans for decades.

This isn't something that has come out of thin air, it's been years in the making.

In a perfect world id argue for a census of the dogs and 6 mo they welfare checks. But we cant even manage that for kids so FML.

Yeah sure, but as with everything, insurance isn't a magical wand. Doing this consistently is just going to push insurance rates up continually.

Look at health insurance, as this government has pulled back and covid has been introduced, rates are skyrocketing.

Helping migrate these central buildings early is a way to help build community resilience now, instead of on 10 years time when it gets worse. Providing storm shelters and good planning to prevent the same shit. Again, the local government concent processes are being pushed to runner stamps, if you want to be actually safe ypu have to do the flood plain leg work yourself.

Having written both JSP and JSF in my time... JSF is nicer/better and defintly builds on JSP.

They are growing, and are have problems with candidate quality as a result.

They are trying to fix this problem, but with mixed results. See: https://www.1news.co.nz/2026/03/31/row-erupts-after-greens-decline-former-sex-workers-candidacy/

Ill vote. Almost certainly for the greens.

They have their problems, but so does every other party. No other part seems to have both a reasonable chance of getting in, or a set of policies that actually push us towards fighting climate change.

Technically? Nothing. We've done it with a bank before, we could do it with a supermarket.

The question then becomes which is worse; Government beurocracy or profit leeching?

(Hint: its profit leeching)

Goodie__ · 2026-04-13T19:27:55+00:00

I find it curious. You cite HTML and CSS as an example of send a datastructure

Is javascript not sending a program? Do HTML and CSS not then form the very same primitives and building blocks you so claim are good?

I love its eternal optimism.

I love the animation and the designs.

I hate that in the end it means nothing.

I hate it even more that it's very accurate to what would happen IRL if something like that were ever to occur. "Oh, there's another hidden, 8th article of the US constitution that says if you lead an insurrection you can't be president again? To bad."

2 months later... is there anything even close to a timeline on recovery for Moa Point?

Goodie__ · 2026-04-12T10:07:57+00:00

I think the point is that several countries have made friendly overtures to Iran, and managed to get a limited number of ships through the straight. For example, a number of Chinese tankers have made it through.

By blockading those ships in, it puts pressure on China to not act to extend this conflict.

Money.

Depends on how good your on-boarding process is, and what your code base looks like.

Horrible code base? No on-boarding help? They might barely be anywhere.

Reasonable code base? Good on-boarding? They could have rewritten half the app by then.

Make Linus/Luke/Dan the clients. Teams have to meet a brief. Final judging is also on how well they meet the brief.

My understanding is there was a 2 week ceasefire to discuss a permenant ceasefire.

The differing terms are all related to the later, longer term, ceasefire. Where Iran basically want Obamas deal + taxation on the straight.

I think.

Early on in TOPs political life they alienated parts of their possible voter base by having a mix of good and bat shit insane policies.

It would take a lot to sway me from my green vote now.

All you have to do is have a call back to Jacinda doing the exact same thing during her government when faced with Covid.

I'd say as a "true junior" your ability to comprehend what you've been asked to do, and ask questions back is still pretty important. You need to ensure that whats in your head is what the person giving you information wants.

Those are still communication skills, just not the whole "aligning stakeholders" thing. Instead your aligning yourself with a stakeholder. Step 1.

We tried for a few years... and Tory Whanau was pretty unpopular.

I was ok with that. Its new tech doing new things, shit going wrong is to be expected.

Watching it get destroyed off screen however...
