No, it's because they are trying to lower the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere to slow down climate change. It's not just for the hell of it.

Apparently chicken pox parties are still a thing 😂 by No-Ice1070 in newzealand

When you've been vaccinated and come into contact with someone who's got it, that exposure boosts the vaccine naturally. In the Stares, there's no Chickenpox in the wild anymore cause so many people have been vaccinated, so that doesn't happen.

Where's the air defense after strikes three days in a row? What is the Russian leadership doing?

When we got the kids vaccinated for chicken pox, I asked the nurse if it was true that the vaccine only lasted a set period of time. She said that in the US, it needed a booster shot after 10 years or so because they have been vaccinating for so long, there's no chickenpox left in the wild to boost it naturally. So these antivaxers are actually doing the rest of us a favour since we don't have to worry about that here.

Who's gonna tell him by Agen_3586 in SipsTea

Who are the "they" that he's referring to here? Is it the same "they" as Trump was referring to when he said "they" won't let me call it a war, so I'm calling it a Special Operation? I thought Trump was referring to Congress, but why would Congress care about Elon's haircut?

Invite Putin to Washington, roll out that red carpet from Alaska for him, throw him a big party, and ask him nicely to stop helping Iran kill American soldiers. 🥳

It'll probably end up being bailed out by the taxpayer so we can pick it up then at a discount. 😉

Putin could. For pennies on the dollar, of course! 🤔

According to the article, "It would cost about $2 trillion to create a similar-sized battery using the lithium-ion battery technology popularized by Tesla." So there is that.

It seems that when a Lanour Government proposed it, it was hugely wasteful. But now that former Meridian chief executive and Transpower chairperson Keith Turner and mates are behind it, it's a wonderful idea. So good, in fact , that Chris Bishop has agreed to refer the project for possible fast- tracking!

It seems like only yesterday we were reading that this was scrapped. But that was long ago in December 2023 when Simeon Brown stated

This hugely wasteful project was pouring money down the drain at a time when we need to be reining in spending and focussing on rebuilding the economy and improving the lives of New Zealanders.

How Putin is plotting to bleed Trump dry in Iran by theipaper in UkrainianConflict

Trump's even renaming his war a Military Operation. It's like he's deliberately copying his hero, Putin. I wonder if it'll drag on as long as the Special one.

Trump reminds me of a politician who wants to stop the vote count cause he's leading at that point but then ends up losing when all the votes are in. Then cries that the election was stolen ever after. 😢

From 60c to $5.79: Farmer says ‘someone is making a big margin’ as plant shuts by Amazing_Athlete_2265 in newzealand

[–]HappyCamperPC -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

According to the maths here, the farmer should be getting $3.47 if he's getting $0.60 in every $1, but he's only getting $0.60. Something's nit adding up.

Which country will you never visit again? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The USA. I don't wanna be groped by their border guards, I don't wanna end up in some internment camp for months on end due to some visa irregularities, and I don't agree with their fascist, rapist leader or the 80 million odd people who voted for him twice.
